Complete the Surfing Game in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga by collecting 23 Oho Balloons under a minute. Learn rewards and tips.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head east from the East Beanbean beach several screens until you reach an island with a Save Album.
  2. 2
    Talk to the NPC (non-player character) on this island to start the surfing mini-game. If you land on the southern island without a Save Album, go north one screen to reach the correct starting point.
  3. 3
    Follow the path indicated by arrows in the water, aiming to collect all 23 Oho Balloons.
  4. 4
    The objective is to complete the course, hitting all balloons, and finishing at the second island in under one minute.
  5. 5
    Be mindful of explosives in the water that can knock you around.
  6. 6
    Avoid overshooting jumps, as turning around takes time.
  7. 7
    Area 1: Collect 4 balloons with single jumps.
  8. 8
    Area 2: Collect 3 balloons with single jumps, then 2 balloons that can be collected with one jump due to their proximity. Collect 1 more balloon before proceeding.
  9. 9
    Area 3: After the first balloon, make a sharp southeast turn to hit 2 southbound balloons. Then, make a sharp southwest turn for 1 more balloon.
  10. 10
    Area 4: Jump to get the first balloon. Jump over a barrel to collect 3 balloons in one shot. Ahead, collect 2 more balloons with a single jump by timing your jump under the first one.
  11. 11
    Area 5: Navigate through barrels, plotting a straight path to hit balloons without swerving. Collect 2 more balloons with one jump, similar to Area 4.
  12. 12
    Reach the second island to complete the course.
