eightysixed posted:Are we sure that the flight path does not take the wind into consideration, because I'm really starting to second guess that. The game explicitly tells you the flight path does not consider wind in one of the Toad lessons. You may be overestimating how much the wind is affecting your shot. A club with a low arc hitting at the top of the ball won't carry the same way as an iron or wedge hitting the bottom of the ball over the same distance.

It turns out that 18 holes of Speed Golf on a course you've never seen before with a character you've used only once before and no flight path is really hard. Who would've thought?

What's the easiest way to get coins outside of the DLC courses? I'm getting fed up with failing the Moon Coin 1O1P challenge (Back 9 only) and want about 50 retries before tackling it again, lest I throw my 3DS through a wall. EDIT: No opponents? How odd. Unless I missed someone, perhaps I just picked a bad time. I'll try again later, then. gameface fucked around with this message at 22:04 on May 22, 2014 |

What the gently caress is Nabbit anyway and why are you guys all  about him? I've never played Super Mario Galaxy if that's what he's from.eightysixed posted:Seriously? So you can take the shot with B but you can't activate the power meter with B? That's ridiculous. Switching between 2 buttons for one action is dumb It is dumb, but you use B to cancel the swing meter if you haven't pushed A yet. Which will, of course, lead to you eventually hitting B after you hit A because you wanted to cancel a swing. It would've made more sense if they do it like other golf games and just not do the swing if you let the meter go all the way back to the right without the second button push.

In that game he robbed toad houses and you'd chase him speedrun style through levels for powerups. He's not completely strange like space god mom and he fits right in with the mushroom kingdom so he's just generally well received Alternatively:

I got this game to relax with. A lazy Sunday afternoon game. Instead I'm about to take a bite out of my 3DS. I'm not even at the hard parts yet. I'm just trying to place 1st on the 3rd course in the game. Why am I so garbage at this, and for that matter, why am I not getting better? You'd think all the hours I have sunk into this game, practicing every night, I'd have gotten a feel for whatever black magic is used to determine putting, but I still suck. I'm just garbage at it. Use more force going up hill, less going downhill, lean left or right for the horizontal arrows, even more for the red arrows, I know, I know, but how much? That's what gets me. That's what I misjudge. Again and again and again.

So I'm finally caving and going to get Mario Golf after work today or at latest tomorrow morning. I've played the poo poo out of Mario Golf on the 64 and GC, and after seeing a few of my friends have a blast with this I cannot wait to dive in myself.

Just imagine you were actually trying to sink it in real life, the ball will pretty much follow real physics. Oh and you don't really need to undershoot unless it's a really sharp downward slope.

Putting would look a lot better if they removed the white tail that your ball gives off.

Red or blue only determines whether the hole is uphill or downhill, not how extreme the slope is. I'm pretty sure the slope isn't colour-coordinated at all, so you're going to have to eyeball it.

Fat stacks o' cash What are you supposed to do with all these coins? You're given far too much when compared to the prices of items in the shop. Are there some mega expensive items I've yet to unlock. Also I wish you didn't have to watch the ceremony for every competition to get the coins or trophy.

For putting also note that the lines noting slope are closer together if it's steeper. A slant that looks like ______ ______ ______ will barely move the ball at all, while one that's ................. usually means you landed in the "gently caress you" part of the green and should just focus on getting close to the hole for a second putt.

Also what's up with Bowsers Birdie animation. His animations and Birdo's weird me out.

Either have Kamek shuffle your handness/shot type around like a monkey (is there a difference between a right-handed fade and a left-handed draw?), buy a bunch of mulligans you'll be nagged to use every single shot, or pretend your mii rolls around in them like Scrooge McDuck or Wario.

I know that theme bonuses were in Mario Tennis Open. They even had a visual marker for them, giving your Mii the star character platform on the gear screen.

As well as that one, I've seen the Paratroopa outfit that flaps its wings, the Wiggler outfit kind of shakes around its excess tail sections (kind of a stretch), and if particle effects count, the Gold Mario outfit you get for 10 online tournament trophies sparkles a bit.

Those are Fuzzies/Fuzzles and they first showed up in Super Mario World. Not to be confused with the white Fuzzies from Yoshi's Island, who make you dizzy. Do NOT touch a white fuzzy before playing a round of golf. Personally when I go for a costume instead of an outfit (the Blooper clothes are neat and have a cap instead of a visor) I like to stick my mii's head up a goomba's butt.

lovely Wizard posted:I think that's the three albatross one. Yeah, that's the one. It's not that difficult to get if you go to the right hole. DK Jungle, hole 7 has 2 of the barrel cannons chain to bring you right to the green, and with the right pin location and/or good putting, you can get an Albatross fairly easily. You need a bit of power to reach the cannon, however.

That's been kind of a thorn in my side that some holes I just can't do well with (Wiggler Garden has a short one with giant spiny around it, for some reason I almost always bogey it)

There's a lot of luck involved with holes in one, but if you keep trying you should eventually get one. Keep playing the one on one in challenge would be my advise.
