Alternate course creature:An alternate creature will jump out of the hole if you can sink a putt for par or better with the 200 ft putting range. Even if the putt is only 10 feet, if you put it on the 200 range and sink the putt for par or better a small mushroom creature will jump out of the hole instead of a gopher.

Perfect power shot bonus:When a power shot is made and the ball is hit perfectly, a bonus animation such as a fireball (with a 1D club) or rainbow (with a 4W club) will appear. Additionally, your golfer will not lose a power shot.

For a spinning fireball, use Mario to get a perfect power shot. For thunder, use Bowser, get a perfect power shot -- you will hear a big boom. For lightning, use Wario to get a perfect power shot.

Hint: 1W rainbow shot:Usually a 4W club with power is needed to get a rainbow. However, it is possible to get a rainbow shot when playing as Yoshi with a 1W club with power on it.

Hint: Shoot while standing sideways:Aim towards the big hills on hole 11 on Toad Highland. Your ball will land on the hill, close to the top. When you go to shoot again, your golfer will be standing almost completely sideways.

Hint: All clubs playable with one controller:This trick can be used to get all the clubs playable with one controller (playing two to four players on a single controller). Simply highlight however many players as desired. You can select characters for up to four players with one controller, and may even control them in a game.

Hint: Land swimming fish:If you hit your ball into the water a fish will jump. However, if you hit your ball in the water close enough to land, the fish will jump out of the water into land and disappear under the ground.

Hint: Fish parade:If you hit your ball towards a pond with just the right amount of spin, it will skid across the water and about fifteen fish will jump at the same time. Combine this trick with "Land swimming fish" to make a large number of fish jump on land and disappear.

Hint: Floating golf ball:At times, your ball will float when hit into the water. When this happens no fish will jump.

Hint: Bets:Bets are automatic in stroke and match multi-player modes, but may be de-activated or changed at the course select screen.

Hint: Right angle shot:When right in front of a tree, hit the ball so it hits the side of the tree. Make sure the shot will not just nick the tree. If done correctly, the ball will bounce straight over.

Hint: Sky rocket shot:When right in front of a little hill or tree, aim between the middle and the top. If done correctly, the ball will sky rocket upwards.

Hint: Fireworks:When in a Sudden Death situation, fireworks portraying Toad will go off in the background after you have gotten the ball in the hole.

Hint: Albatross:When you get a 2 on a par 5 hole, you get an "Albatross". Notice that the player's reaction is the same as that of an "Eagle" reaction.

Hint: Hole-in-one on Luigi's Garden Normal Mini Golf:Stop the power between the "2" and "3" dot. If done correctly, you will get a hole-in-one every time.

Hint: Defeating Bowser:Note: This trick requires a little work and patience. Select Mario and play Bowser in "Get Character" mode. Play each hole until you defeat him. If you do not defeat him on a hole, save the game and reload. You will be able to play the hole again until you defeat him. Note: If you miss a putt and Bowser can sink to win, do not let him putt. If he makes it in, you will not be able to replay the hole.

Hint: Easy hole-in-one:Select a character. Choose the "Practice" option (with the pile of golf balls). Select a par 3 hole. Press Start and set the options so that there is no wind. Hit your ball and see where it goes. Adjust your aim and power accordingly so it is closer to the hole. Keep doing this until your ball goes into the hole.

Hint: Farther shot:When Boo (the ghost in the right hand corner) is facing forward and there is a 10 or higher miles per hour wind, hit your ball with either a power or normal club. The wind will push your ball farther then it normally would.
