Loopdeeloop Galaxy's Manta Ray 101 isn't too hard if you know what you're doing.

I has tips.

Don't hold it like...normally. Instead; use the Finger Food Style from WarioWare: Smooth Moves. AKA: Rest the Wiimote between your thumb and index finger, then lay any finger you'd please on the A button. The Waiter style, or resting it on your palm, also works.

Turn gently, doing swift turns will just make you lose control.

Try to stay in the middle as much as possible.

Don't hold down A the entire time, use it on straight areas. When turns are coming up, start only holding A on the crest of the waves, that way it becomes easier to turn.

When you get to those jumps, YOU should jump, for increased height. Just because it's cool.

...

Yeah, that's it. Remember, on your first try, it isn't about speed. It's about getting through the level. After you beat it, try to PWN THE CRAP out of your old record.

...

'K that's all.

Oh yeah, and manta rays are cool.

NOW GO AWAY SO I CAN PLAY MAH GAME. D<

...Unless you have comments, question, suggestions, or your own tips to add for the ultimate Manta Ray Riding experience. ^^

I found that rapidly tapping the A button instead of holding it helps to keep you going at a decent pace, but makes it difficult to fall off.

I noticed this too. I got a record of about 1 minute 3 seconds on my first try when I used this method.

Oh, Mona, add the when your about to go off the edge you can flick the wiimote up to jump, while in the air turn. as soo as you land you'll go the way your facing.
