I can't complete Taj's Torch challange. No matter how hard I blow into the DS, the torches won't go out. I've tried switching DSes and even blowing a fan into it.

Nothing works.

Should I resort to Action Replay DS if nothing can be done?

From what I've heard people in general cannot get the torches to go out by blowing.

Instead ... x.x

Sucking:

I know it sounds weird, but pressing your lips to the little slit where
the mic is, then sucking on it. It is actually quite effective, it's
way easier than blowing, you don't run out of breath much and at least
there's less of a chance of getting spit all over your DS, but make
sure your lips are dry.

You have to be in just the right spot for it to work, it's quite an annoying challenge though, it took me a long time to get one out. It will work eventually.

Sucking

That also worked wonders for me on Mario Kart DS's Balloon Battle mode.
Barring that, try playing in a moving car.

Try positioning yourself somewhere in front of the torches until an icon appears in a corner on the Touch Screen indicating you to blow into the mic.

Sorry guys, but I've tried and it just doesn't work. I've waited until the small microphone icon appears at the bottom-left of the screen when I'm right next to a torch. I've blown and blown, but cannot get even a single torch out. I've tried sucking the DS screen as well, but the same results occured. I'm stuck in the hovercraft until I can defeat this challenge, which is virtually impossible.

I'm just going to use an AR to get past this challenge.

The microphone is sound activated. You must either SHOUT or make some sound for it to work. Ex. In Mario Party DS, there are some minigames where you use the microphone. If you blow, nothing much will happen, however, if you create a sound while going close to the Mic phone, progress will increase.

Trust me, I've done it before.

The microphone is sound activated.

This is not true. See: Phantom Hourglass, where sound is not recognized anywhere near as much as blowing into the microphone.

The microphone does recognize sound, but there is an air-pressure detector and it is used in Mario Kart DS and Phantom Hourglass.

You were probably just blowing too hard. I did it easily by blowing, not sucking.
