Hit every balloon you can get without wasting time and dodge the birds like mad... some of it is luck too.

That's technically it, there really is no secret to this except patience, quick reflexes, quick thinking, and luck.

This was a super hard challenge! I think I did it after hours of trying for a week or so.

Oh yeah! I thought i was the only one who didnt get it! i kinda mastered the track...let me see if i can give good hints here
1- At the start of the track, get the upper hand and try to get all the balloons! for that wait until the track lets all the balloons in the first part on the right side of the hill so you can get them all, if that happens, try to concentrate more on this attempt!
2- when you make the first turn, there will be an easy baloon. Make sure you get it, then when you first see the gulls coming, break HARD left! you should be able to dodge them all!
(the most important thing is to forget all the baloons when you see birds on the screen, unless you know they are coming for the trainer)
3- After the first turn and the first straight line comes the first left turn, now here is a "free" dodge area! if you go on the far left side of the turn or the far right side the birds wont be able to hit you, so b4 making the turn, watch where there are more baloons and then go left or right depending on that
4- Now its the last Straight line! and its kinda hard cause the space is now reduced...you should zig zag when birds come...but a hard zig zag...go all the way right then all the way left...and when they are not coming go straight and pedal to the medal...get baloons and youll probably wont even be hit

So resuming... there are 4 main dodge points, not including the free dodge point on the second turn...i did 39 seconds and i got 16 baloons and i got hit once...so that did it! i hope everyone can do it! let me know! :) sorry about double posting

I don't actually know why people find it hard... I find the butterfly challenge harder.

The most time I've spent on the Chocobo race was 45 minutes before managing 0:0:0.

You think the butterfly challenge was hard? Pfft, try dodging 200 lightning bolts without using No Encounters!

Anyways, the only thing I don't like about this one is how hard it is to control the Chocobo. But nonetheless, I still finished with 0:0.0

I think that's Macalania Temple.
If you've already received the treasure from the Zanarkand trials, then it's definately Macalania Temple.

You'll have to defeat Dark Shiva if you want to enter the temple.

You can still get Yuna's Celestial weapon without Anima, you just won't be able to power it up to its peak power.

Funny you mentioned that. On my very first playthrough I dodged over 200 as soon as I got to the Thunder Plains. Time consuming, yes, but it wasn't difficult. It had a major habit of striking right after a battle.

It's difficult because it eats away hours of your life. But that is a different subject...

Thats only if you suck or you have no life and have all the time in the world to do it.... as for me i don't and i never found Lulu very useful after getting to the Calm Lands.

At the bottom right of every post, there's two big buttons. One says Edit (which only mods. could use, unless you hit edit on your own post) and there's Quote. Clicking quote automatically sets up the quote tags and messages for you.

In the future, if you have more questions about different topics, either make new threads in the correct locations, or PM someone who you think might help you out.

As for the 200 lightning bolt dodges, I just can't do that. I just don't have the patience or anything for it.
