Dear Readers,
I replayed the first world to feel that lovely music again, but I accidentally forgot to switch on the Wii Balance Board. The game doesn't prompt it, so it just assumed I was continuing with Wii Remote controls.
I continued anyway and played the levels with the added obstacles, since using the Wii Remote is much easier. I still had a good fun time, enjoying the music and dancing to it. Didn't have to worry about the Balance Board either. I also got a higher score, though a Wii Remote symbol appears next to it.
Being prompted and not prompted by menus in a game can be a powerful thing. I noticed it myself when I watched Tim Rogers on his actionbutton Twitch livestream recently, where he played SEGA Rally for SEGA Saturn in the time attack mode. He was able to just continue driving without being prompted by any menus or game overs. The clock just went ahead by itself as well. He drove many laps for quite a while and had a good time. He shared a story of talking about this game with a developer of Gran Turismo, a game series that has lots of menus and settings. There's food for thought.
