Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the Oho Ocean, you can freely surf on your surfboard. Jump to hit overhead Coins in blocks.
  2. 2
    Head east and south to a small island (south of Oho Oasis on the map). You'll find a Save Album there.
  3. 3
    Talk to the NPC on the island to start the surfing mini-game.
  4. 4
    The objective is to follow a path marked by arrows, hitting all 23 Oho Balloons and finishing at the second island in under 60 seconds.
  5. 5
    Avoid explosives in the water that can knock you around. Try not to overshoot jumps, as turning around is inefficient.
  6. 6
    Area 1: 4 balloons, reachable with single jumps.
  7. 7
    Area 2: 3 balloons with single jumps, then 2 balloons close enough for one jump. Followed by 1 more balloon.
  8. 8
    Area 3: After the first balloon, turn southeast for 2 southbound balloons, then southwest for 1 more.
  9. 9
    Area 4: Get the first balloon, then jump over a barrel to hit 3 balloons in one shot. Ahead, get 2 more balloons in one jump by timing your jump under the first one.
  10. 10
    Area 5: Navigate around barrels to hit balloons. After a single barrel, there are 2 more balloons reachable with one jump, similar to the previous area.
  11. 11
    The course ends at the second island. To gain speed, don't jump too quickly after landing; the brief boost can help.
  12. 12
    When ready, head north and east from Oho Ocean to a strip of sand to land and proceed to Joke's End.
