Marble Saga
Tips and Tricks
Listed below are some handy tips and tricks to get you through Marble Saga:
Slow...but not too slow: It is very common for most users to try and barrel through a stage as fast as possible. Take your time and go slow if you just want to complete. If you want to unlock a marble though you will need a trophy which means you will need to race through the stage.
Choose your Wiimote options carefully: You can choose either holding your Wiimote normally or horizontally. Choose which one works best for you.
Save your wrists and let the Wiimote move in your fingertips: To get total control, let your fingers control the ball, not your wrist. The world will turn exactly how you turn the Wii Remote.
Use the map: During gameplay you can pause the game and select map, which will give you a bird’s eye view of the complete map. This comes in handy for finding all the green gems.
Choose the right ball: As you progress through story mode you will unlock balls that have different properties- how heavy they are, how fast they roll, ect. Choose the right one for each level for total control. Here's how to unlock them:
