Sandshrew Rolling.jpg

You can find several Sandshrew rolling in different locations around the course. Toss a Fluffruit at a rolling Sandshrew to make it stop. We recommend you try to stop the Sandshrew closest to the beginning of the course so that it is easy to restart the level when you miss it.

Quickly Take a Photo as It Stops

When you manage to hit the Sandshrew, immediately take a photo. This request requires precise timings, so make sure to prepare your camera before Sandshrew arrives.
