You know what I'm talking about.

The Calm Lands.

I am frustrated that this game keeps ripping me off.

The person I need to race just somehow manages to fly right past me to get all of the baloons, and the birds make sure they go out of their way to miss her so that they can hit me. They can be like 20 feet away and still hit you, but you have to be RIGHT ON TOP of a baloon for those points to count.

Any suggestions on how to get a good score?
