Is that the balloon one? Fuck that mission. Jetpack missions are the worst. I just can't beat them. Thank that so I can extend my gameplay a few hours more.
Plane flying is amazing.
And I want more squirrel jump. FFS nintendo, you better have some free DLC for this thing. Another island a a few more missions would be gold. That way they can show how well the DLC works on the 3DS. GET ON IT!

Is that the one of the golden balloons that are hard to pop?
Worst mission of all the game.
3 star lucky there. Perfect is going to be impossibly tough.

arrrhh freaking pedal glider! I just want my 3 stars!
Skiesofwonder
Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Just dropping in to say this game is AWESOME. Trying to get three stars on every mission reminds me of that wonderful feeling I got trying to do the same on Excite Truck at Wii launch. And honestly while I would of liked more locations, I'm so in love with Wuhu Island. The little island was great on WSR but it really shines here. I just wish all the Miis were walking around like they were in WSR.
But yeah I look froward to more games featuring Wuhu Island (which Miyamoto hinted at), and I greatly looking froward to spending more time with PilotWings Resort. I'm already 3 hours in and probably no where close to perfecting (100% completing) this game. I could imagine that would take potentially 10-15 hours!

I dont know why people are having problems with the pedal glider missions. I found them relatively easy.

I don't know why I suck with it. I keep getting 2 stars, and was like 5 points away from 3 one timeSpacePirate Ridley said:

What's your strategy with your energy? Only use the least bit possible or burn it down to nothing and let it come back?SpacePirate Ridley said:

Pedalling is not really that usefull, I only use it when you really need speed (going downwards or going through speed panels), or you need to stay in the air and you are nearly touching the floor.
I never use it the whole time, only in parts. You need to get speed by using it the same as the normal hang glider, tilting it down, pedalling will only give you 3 or 5 kilometers per hour more than not using it, you will gain more speed pedalling if you pedal while going in a big down.
As I dont use it all the time, I usually dont have problem with energy, but if you go out of energy any time, theres not much of a probem becuase it will usually go at the same speed and you will regain it realtively fast.

You pretty much have to use all your power whenever you can in order to get full points on time.
One thing I found that helped. Is stay high as you approach the tiny thermal near the waterfall. As you get close, dive and gain as much speed as possible. It will give you enough speed to get the 15 point chip, and speed to enter the tunnel all right.

Yeah, but seriously f*ck the later rocketpack missions. Scoring red stars on these will be nigh impossible. They should've added ghost data once you cleared 3 stars to see how it's done.SpacePirate Ridley said:
10 hours racked up now. Got 3 star gold on every single ranking apart from Silver and Gold, where I've still got a lot left to do. And only three perfect scores overall.
This game is awesome. Could easily get 15 hours at least out of this with the free flight mode too, which is longer than the average console game I've brought over the past year has lasted me!
oh and I just almost got perfect on the jetpack balloon mission. got a -2 penalty, and that set me 2 points under perfect. noooooo.

The jet pack is the most evil mother fucker in existance. Strangley I love the jetpack in free mode.
Also super jetpack>normal jetpack. The game says that it harder to control, but to me is much easier.

He said he can use either the normal or super versions of the vehicles in mission mode, that sounds like about it. Doesn't really sound worth the hassle to me but I still have to give the guy credit for that kind of dedication.Raggytash said:

So much for the rumor of Mechahawk.
This game has really grown on me. I was initally very lukewarm to it, especially after demoing it multiple times. I'm now very addicted to it, redoing missions for perfect scores.
This is the kind of game you have to play at your comfort to truly enjoy, and as a non-graphics person, I really appreciate the technical showcase that this game is.
The free light @ night/dusk is pretty visually stunning and is comparable to the wow factor from PilotWings 64 back in the day.

it does exist when you beat the game with 3 stars after the new diamond medal. As a coll diorama, and you can see him going around wedge island during free mode (has the last info ring). Its not a boss nor a playable vehicle though

one thing that people really need to be made aware of is the actual length of the game. can't believe the fud that's been spread about being able to complete the game in 90 minutes or so. i'm at 94 out of 117 stars (there's actually more that i haven't unlocked) right now and i've played for over 6 hours according to the activity log. just to UNLOCK all the basic missions, to progress to the next tier (which means getting 2 stars on average in each tier) will take around 3 - 4 hours, and at that point you might not even have touched the platinum missions, but merely unlocked them. i haven't even unlocked the bonus/diamond missions at 6 hours in! and i haven't touched the free flight mode at all!

Well, there was one guy here that said that the game was only 2.5 and felt like shovelware. I said he was lying and he still insisted the game was short.
I dont know how some people play their games, I really dont know. If he really didnt like it and didnt want to play more of the game he didnt had to lie of the duration, they were people here waiting an opinion and he was one of the first to make one in this thread which make some people not wanting to buy the game.
You can fault the game for not having any more locations, but not about the difficulty or lenght.
Anyone know how to get perfect accuracy when landing the plane? I'll land it dead in the middle and still get docked 2 or 3 points for accuracy. I'm assuming it has something to do with not just left/right, but also my front to back position on the landing strip?
Unless I got infinitely worse at video games in the past ten years, I can without doubt say the N64 version was much more forgiving on landing accuracy.

Accuracy is not just the center line. You don't want to land too close to the start of the runway. You need to land so that you can stop pretty much under the bridge.

I'm also have a ton of fun with this game. 1-3 hours my ass, lol. So far I've only 3-star'd Everything up to Silver. Hate the Pedal Bike, lovin' the Jet. Definitely needs more Squirrel Suit or Birdman DLC+extra locations. Free Flight mode is so much fun, I love going in at different times of the day with different vehicles so I can try locating all the little things around the map. So far I'm only at 4mins of Free Flight time.

Ok, seems I was wrong, go the info ring from
and it doesnt count for the info ring countdown.

BTW Somebody knows where is info ring 41, is the only one I have left.
EDIT, beated like someone trying to get 3 stars in the golden balloons with the jetpack.
Mecha Hawk
Its fun becuase he
shouts when you bump into him as he did when you shot him in Pilotwings 64 :lol

The other BS that is being spread about this game is that it is a "casual" game.
Heard a GS employee trying to discourage someone from purchasing it. Allegedly, it's not "real" Pilot Wings game. Just a tech-demo.
lol

I would never understand why you will try to discourage somebody of buying a game in your store. Thats stupidity at its highest level.
Even more when you try to spread lies. Maybe it was Kinspiracy :lol

Sounds like the reviewers out there just went out to finish the game and said "Yep, that's it. Too short."
I'd argue this is probably the case with Steel Diver, too, but unlike that game, this one probably has a bit more replay value.

Oh screw that 75th location marker (Mystery Zone). How is anyone supposed to have found that without seeking help from others other than total dumb luck....
Fly a plane at night, it's dead ahead at about 400ft.

For the live of me I cant find the last hang glider golden ring. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I feel bad for monster games, all the games they have done for nintendo are incredibly fun and arcadey, but the reviewers always make bad reviews of them.
Thank god Nintendo is still using them, no matter what reviewers say.
If only excite bots was released in europe
