This is Part 2-1 so it will focus on the Short Routes, let's check it out:
Wii Fit Plus Aerobics Playthrough Part 2-1: Basic Run, Short Routes
Basic Run: Short Routes
There are 4 stand alone short routes in the Basic Run. Here is a quick overview of what you can run:
-A: Mii short lap back to stone circle
-B: Gray Cat, Blue Collar-Rooftops to Queen Peach
-C: White Cat, Red Collar-8 Bit Circuit, across tree back to falls
-D: White Dog, Red Collar-Run to the Cabins, up Windhill to finish
-D: White Dog, Red Collar-Run to the Cabins, up Windhill to finish
-E: Normal Speed to the boat
In the video, you'll also see the following routes:
-F: Fast speed to the boat
-G: Mix up, still no 4 star
-F: Fast speed to the boat
-G: Mix up, still no 4 star
This one is pretty basic, you simply run! The catch is you can follow the Mii, or pass and follow any one of a number of cats and dogs...an awesome touch! Getting a 4-Star Ranking is difficult when you don't take one of the early routes for the simple fact it is so hard to "run" and not pass the guide Mii.
The good news is, this flaw is completely remedied in the Long Run and Island Lap.
These are very short routes and are good if you are strapped for time, or just getting into Wii Fit. You can spend a lot of time just exploring and enjoying the surroundings (all the Miis that wave and pass you by etc).
