The minigame sets in the deep canyon as the camera is inside the canyon. The camera moves closer to the players preparing to play the mini-game. The wind blows the tightrope and the players as they are losing the balance but regained it. When the camera is set on the players that appear on the screen, the minigame starts.

The camera shows the tightropes and characters from below, moving upwards. The wind blows the tightropes and the players, causing them to almost lose their balance. The minigame starts when the camera is set behind the characters.

When the character is getting unbalanced, the player has to balance the Wiimote straight as possible before the character falls down into the canyon and loses the balancing poles. Additionally, the wind in the minigame can attempt to blow all the players on the tightrope down to the canyon if possible; this addition makes the minigame a little more challenging as the player attempt to survive from falling.
