Mario Golf: World Tour

Ah, so it's in there somewhere. I think I've only been in there for the Mario Open and getting into the community from the online thread.

I guess I'll do that when I have time.

I just hope Miis don't become too powerful, for the moment with the gear I have, they are weak.

Trust me, I've tried making a Mii as powerful as possible in terms of each main three aspects (Drive, Sweet Spot and Control) as an experiment, but the highest I've gotten is 243m Drive and 7/11 Sweet Spot and Control. Separately, I should add, so it's pretty great to see Nintendo balanced Miis this time around.

You unlocked everything?
 
The game has been out for a while now. It's not impossible to unlock everything in that time. I don't think it would be at least.

Nah, but I've bought all the combinations, visors, gloves and shoes (still less than a 1/3 to getting every single one of those items though), unlocked about a third of the costumes, two thirds of the shirts and layers and about half of the clubs and balls. I should add I've participated in every tournament (Crackin was right about it being impossible to unlock everything; these are why) that gives you equipment, which I expect is where all those combinations, visors, gloves and shoes I'm still missing come in.

Those figures could change as I get closer to getting everything, but it's fairly unlikely.
 
I'll assume for my sanity's sake that they will give out the combinations they have already had as prizes in previous tournaments again in later tournaments.

Also I did the challenges for the Forest Course. Not bad. I enjoyed them. Got a fucking Dolphin Ball for crying out loud. I don't think anything can top that majestic item.
 
I finally played the game. I really liked the learning curve: it's so easy to learn how to play. It reminded me of Mario Golf 64, which is always a good thing.

I still think it should've been made for the Wii U, though. Imagine the game in glorious HD... I hope they remake it for the Wii U in the near future, pretty much like they remade Donkey Kong Country Returns for a different console.
 
I honestly prefer something like this on the 3DS. My favourite course so far is the Forest Course and that is literally as simple as the course designs get. I don't need HD to enjoy this game, it suits a handheld more.

Well, it makes more sense to have the 3DS instalment first because it matches up with the Mario Tennis series, which had Mario Tennis Open.

And personally, my favourite course is either the Seaside or Mountain Course. Not sure which, they're both pretty cool.
 
I got -14 on the World Tournament. I nearly got an Eagle Chip-In on one of the last few holes but I hit the pole; I was more proud that I was so accurate with my aim that it hit the pole when it was 3/4 of the medium putt's length away even when there were hills that slanted in every direction on the path there (left, right, towards me, towards the hole).

It's enough for a silver trophy so I'm content. I need to do that for the other tournaments now.

EDIT: -14 must be my number today, got it for the Double Peoria too. yay~

The sadness I felt when I realized you bested my score on that, I need to do that again soon.

In other news, I'm fairly certain the second round of DLC is coming out tomorrow, since that's when the DLC Coin Rush 2 tournament ends. I'm basically guessing each wave will be coming out in 2 week intervals to allow time for their respective tournaments to start and end. And speaking of the DLC, I finally got it.

Few golfers can match Rosalina in terms of shot power. If it's distance you want, look no further.

Personally, I find this hilarious.
 
So Nabbit and two new course are coming out tomorrow? Nice. If everyone who is playing on Saturday has it we should play those.

Nabbit is tempting but I think I'll stick with Yoshi. Though I might look for a secondary choice if I end up playing against someone who uses him too.

Actually, I was wrong. Tourney ends on the 22nd, so I'm guessing sometime then instead.
 
I just re did the Fixed Character Coin Rush. I got 674 and a gold trophy. Uh, I was convinced Gold was only given to the top 10. I don't know why though.

Maybe it's top 1000? I don't really understand the criteria for what I get awarded. I'm rank 908. Fuck you Jared G! I am the better Australian! The top 10 are all Japanese too.

It's percentage-based.

I got 693 coins and a gold as well, surprisingly. It didn't feel like too great of a performance, honestly.

EDIT: Yeah, if you check Toad's Booth you can download the Flower Pack now.

I checked. Must be there early for other regions because I don't have the prompt yet.
 
I checked at about 3AM my time and the Flower Pack was there, but I wasn't getting any prompts to download it and it already said I did for some reason.

Now, about 16 hours since midnight, I've managed to download it and I've got Nabbit (who has some seriously low swings) and the two courses.
 
Heh.... H hah.... Hehahaheh

I did it! I got -11 on the Fixed Item Tournament on Yoshi Lake! 3 hours of doing it! I have a gold and I'm rank 94. If you manage to get -14 you'll be in the top 10. That would require a really long drive though. That's why I probably can't get higher.

Anyway, I'm fucking ecstatic. Just like M4E said, I'm never going to that again...

Until tomorrow.
 
I shot a -4 on that. I'll go back later and do better, I just wanted the Mii gear you got from it.

Also, I can't putt for shit. If I could, that Sky Island nonsense would've been completed a long time ago.

>: (
 
Okay, just for the record Nabbit's eagle / albatross / hole-in-one animation is easily the best thing I've ever seen, hands down and thumbs up.

I managed to do the One-On, One-Putt challenge last night, yet my confidence was still crushed by this game's decision to have another in-game One-On, One-Putt challenge twice as long and to force me to do two more Challenges as short as the original. The second Star Coin Collector challenge is also seriously frustrating and I can't figure it out to save my life.

I want lessons from anyone who can.
I finished the one-on, one-putt challenge on my fourth try. oops.

I just take a look at the direction and move a little to the opposite direction for each one. It also depends on how steep the hill is, if it's really steep I'll go over by half a fingernail size (usually ends badly if it isn't as steep as I thought) but if it isn't I'll go slightly over the recommended distance. If I have steep hills facing left/right as well as towards me I'll make sure to either hit harder so that the direction isn't changed so much or move further in a direction because when the ball slows down it's affected by the hills more.

I don't know, that's just how I view it and it usually works for me if I'm not in the middle of a day where I severely misjudge distance. It also helps to not be so far away from the hole, but I find myself getting birdies more often when I'm really far away rather than a decent length away.

Oh, I got my first albatross too. Yoshi Lake's first hole.

EDIT: and another Gold on the coin rush tournament. 812 coins, 79th place.

EDIT2: after that gold luck, I got 5:23:70 on speed golf. Silver is 5:23.59 and higher atm. I am literally one rank below silver (207). I can see that trophy right there. I'm just going to hope a bunch of people that suck play so that I can fit into the required percentage for silver.
