I don't know if you're serious or not, but I agree with you regardless. Many of those stamps are brutal.

Some of them are really tough, but don't sound it.

A good example is the one for return challenge in table tennis where you have to get a score of 100 without returning a ball into the server's face. 

 

I know! You think "This is gonna be so easy, I'll take it on my first try" and then five hours later you're still trying for the same stamp and have made no progress. It's insane.

is this serious... it is funny but true too!!

Yeah. Anyone who says these stamps are easy hasn't played the game. I didn't find the table tennis one that hard, you just need to get in a good rhythm and rip early forehands with lots of top spin. I struggle with the basketball one though, which pisses me off no end because I'm a decent shooter with a real basketball.

The Wii series is brutally hard indeed. That's why I laugh when people say how hardcore their hardcore games are.

Exactly.  Take that random guy that beat Halo on Legend or whatever the hardest difficulty on that game is called.

I'll have to try your suggestion on the table tennis one.

I'm guessing that you know that you have to keep the Wii Remote completely level when shooting on the 3 point contest.  The highest score I've gotten on that is 27 out of 30.  What a pain!!!

Certain other stamps look unattainable as well.  Shooting -18 in a round of golf, for instance, is insane.

I'm just missing 5 white balloons to get my final stamp on the flying game, I just can't find them and I've put in in excess of 15 hours just on flying.

It's been a while since I did it so i just had a go to make sure my advice is good, it is:) 

Stick with the forehand, hit most balls as early as you can, force all shots to the left and with plenty of topspin.  You'll only get about ten really hard balls out of a hundred, where you are forced to the left side of the table and you still want to hit the ball left. You just have to wait a little longer with those shots, as if you hit them too early you'll drag them off the table but make sure you put a bit of sidespin so they spin left a little when they hit the table.

I tried your advice and it worked like a dream.  As soon as I figured out how to time the shots that I had to make when the ball was off of the left side of the table, it wasn't THAT hard.  It took me about a half an hour.  Thanks.

Cool.  Now if I could be just as successful in following your 3 point advice, the world will be a much happier place.

Last Challenge: If you haven't already try to get 999 on the return challenge.  You don't get anything for it other than experiencing the Zen-like state it takes to get there.
