The first time I tried Wii Fit Plus' Balance Bubble Plus, it was so difficult. The idea is the same as the original Balance Bubble. You "travel" in a bubble and direct the movement by leaning left, right, forward, and backward. Yes, it's very useful to be able to move in all four directions. And it's a bubble so the slightest bump and your "vehicle" busts, game over. First time I played Balance Bubble I also thought it was difficult. Too difficult for mere mortals! Luckily the "harzards" moved in the same pattern so after a while I knew what to do to complete the game and completed it I did. The Plus version introduced a rotating arm, a big one, shortly after you make a few turns. This is where it's important to be able to go backward a step or two. You don't want to move faster than the arm. Every now and then I can even squeeze right in front of the arm and not have to wait for a gap to open up. Then comes the dark tunnel, with which I had to constantly stop to observe the surrounding because your light can only see so far. Move forward too fast and you can bump into the floats or whatever that's floating around you. Out of the tunnel there are two small rotating arms going in opposite direction. You need to time your movements and squeeze into the gaps. Last hazards are the bees! I hate them! There are five or six of them, just cutting across the screen as you try to reach your final destination. In a classic case of witnesses with unreliable memory, after I completed the game I watched some YouTube videos and now I cannot recall if I paused on the first two bees then zoomed past the remaining bugs, or if that's what I saw in the videos. Whatever, I did finish the game, not easily, far from the ease the YouTube people showed. For example, it looks like when they arrived at the dark tunnel they just went straight through without pausing like me. Oh well, I should be glad that I at least finished it.
