How To Catch Fast Sea Creatures
Can't Catch Up To Fast Creatures
When diving underwater, it will be impossible for you to catch up to the fastest creatures. Don't press the A button at all and approach them from above!
The Cornering Method
One strategy you could employ with these fish is to simply drive them to the edge of the map and corner them. Once they have no way out, you'll be able to catch them with no problem. The only downside to this method is that it might take some time depending on your location.
Process
| Step | What To Do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Find a sea creature |
| 2 | Approach it from behind and chase it into the rope |
| 3 | When it stops or turns around, run into it to catch it! |
The Sneaking Method
By simply not pressing the A button and swimming up slowly to your target, you can get close enough to catch it. You might fail when trying this against the fastest critters, but if you're persistent you should get it.
Process
| Step | What To Do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Find a sea creature |
| 2 | Approach it slowly without pressing the A button until you're directly above its bubbles |
| 3 | Dive with the Y button and catch it |
