These solutions are for using something like a 360 controller as I assume you are not using a Wiimote.
It is fixable by ticking a setting in the controller options. Slightly annoying but there are very few circumstances in the game where it's necessary.
Click "Controllers" along the top.
Click "Configure" under Wiimote 1.
On the right side there you will see boxes you can tick. I think "Sideways Wiimote" was the one that was necessary. For the ball rolling thing you'll need to tick "Upright Wiimote" instead. For the flying bird one (Buzzard?) I think I just had to assign the forward/backward/right/left tilts to my stick temporarily. I forget if I needed to do anything else.
