Not everyone has been able to run through and complete The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass yet; some of us have been too distracted with exploring every single pixel of the ocean or maximizing our cannon minigame scores (2660) to rush to the adventure's end.If you're still in the beginnings of your quest to save Tetra from the terrible Ghost Ship, the feel of Link's boomerang still unfamiliar to your hand, make sure to check out Portable Video Gamer's collection of miscellaneous tips and tricks. Some of their advice is obvious, but their points on performing Link's roll ("As you walk, touch the very edge of the screen, then drag your stylus towards Link and quickly slide back to the screen's edge.") and practicing for multiplayer battles in the Temple of the Ocean King are helpful.
Provided that you've already sailed past the fog in the northwestern section of the map, the page of info should be spoiler-free, unlike the forum threads out there riddled with casual posts that give the game's great parts away. Have any random tips of your own that you'd like to impart to your fellow readers? Make sure to leave them in our comments!

Without spoiling anything, could somebody tell me if the treasures (pink coral, etc) have any purpose besides being sold for profit? Thank you!

a tip for all: if you ran out of getting treasure maps, bomb the hell out of the pirates that shoot at you. the main ship in the fleet will drop treasure that you can get at the bottom of the sea! get the salvage arm ready!!

A tip for all developers:
Slow down on the sneak/stealth missions. We don't all want to play Hideo Kojima games, okay?

I saw this posted on joystiq and was rather surprised it wasn't on dsfanboy.

They're not used for any quests. As you progress, you will find a character that will buy your items at random prices, but that's all.
As for the cannon game, I've topped out at 3020 currently, but I'd estimate the maximum possible being around 3200, or slightly higher.
