Just wondering how accurate the Free Run is for distance. I do between 7000 and 8200m in thirty minutes. It certainly doesn't seem like 7 or 8KM, any ideas?

there are many places where you can see Mario, most likely if you just follow the Mii the whole time. on the basic run (length:long) if you follow the first dog you see (i think) you will see a Star on top of a tree. There is a fountain in the middle of the town(...?) and Luigi is in the fountain. i havent found any other Mario chars.

My DH and I got the Wii and Wii Fitness Plus for Christmas. I had broken my ankle last year and had complications. At 62,all the inactivity had gotten me out of shape and I was actually starting to feel old. Well, the Wii Fit Plus has not only gotten up and off the couch, but I’m losing weight and getting so much dexterity and stamina back that I’m feeling like my old self again….a lot younger! I, like so many have mentioned in their posts, especially love the runs….the Island Run and Free Run are my favorite and I enjoy the runs with the cats and keeping my observation abilities up answering the questions. I’m excited to find out that their will be more runs opening up in there, also. Does anyone know how many runs their are in each game that is currently available on Wii Fit Plus? I know I’d buy an add-on game for Wii Fit with only running games, too. By the way….thanks for all of your comments…I learned a lot of great information.

Like Brendan, I also run on a treadmill (manual) for the Wii free run. These are some of the best workouts I've had in years. I found an old water bottle belt and put the Wii controller in it. There is an elastic strap to hold it in place and I fill the extra space with an old sock (very technical, I know). When you position the belt at the correct spot on your hip, the synchronization with your movements is perfect. 30 minutes go by in a flash and it is very comfortable.

It's funny, I recently moved and suddenly a host of new Mii's appeared on the run. I think I might be picking them up from the neighbourhood. Is this possible? (Some look very familiar)

Anyway, couple the run with strength training on the alternate days and you will look and feel great in no time.

Have fun.

Love Wii fit! Got it for Christmas and run a lot.

As for the remote, i stick it in my front pocket. Gets exactly when I run, as my leg moves up and down. So I never thought of trying it another way.

I know of one that goes behind it, not sure how you can go under it, since you would be underwater. If anyone wants to do the behind the waterfall run: do the basic run, the island lap. Start off slowly so you don't immediately pass the mii you're following. Halfway over the bridge, a gold puppy will pass you. Follow it.

For you guys that are asking how to get to the places you see while you’re running on wii fit plus, you can get to them! Go to the main menu where you pick from different types of activities – the screen with the menu on the right that say Aerobics, Balance, Yoga, etc. Pick the top one, I forget what it’s called….yikes. It’s the first one. So click on that, and pick Running Plus from the graphic menu you get. It’s the very last item. It’s a pic of a woman running with a cat. It’s so awesome. You start out with the short race again, the 3 min one. You follow a cat instead of a dog, and every time you complete the run, another paths is unlocked, and another cat shows up and takes you to a different part of the island, where you’ve never been before. There are three short run paths, 3 long run paths, and 3 island run paths. Just keep following the different cats! You’ll be asked questions after each race, so try to remember some things that you’ve seen – how many wii flags did you see, how many dogs ran past you, what color was the cat you were following…easy stuff like that. I’m not sure if the new paths are unlocked if you get all of the answers wrong, since I got them all right every time You’ll be running through new mountain tunnels, over ramps and rooftops in the town, over that wooden footbridge you keep seeing but can’t figure out how to get to….one of the races even ends on the cruise ship you see parked at the dock! Very fun, and a nice change of pace from the same tracks you see over and over. My fav was a long winding staircase sort of bridge, made of metal, that’s hidden on the side of a mountain. It made a nice clang when my mii ran on it. One race ends up in a mountain where there are hidden ruins like a coliseum. TRY IT!!

John, as for the 22nd flag, it might be the one out beyond the first two on the sand, around the hill further out, will show once you are around that.
