A:Star Characters are a better version of each character in the game Q: How do I get Star Characters? A: By unlocking them in Character Match Here is a list of all of the characters in the game, their regular status, a small description, and what happens when they get a REALLY bad hole! Mario Shot Path: Straight Shot Height: Medium Max Yardage: 212 -Mario is a great player for beginners. Quite a far shot and completely straight *When Mario gets a bad hole: He crys, runs around, trips and falls to the ground! Peach Shot Path: Straight Shot Height: Medium Max Yardage: 203 Shot Height: Medium -Peach isn't as good as Mario but girls would probably want to play with Peach other than Mario *When Peach gets a bad hole: She says, "I'm dizzy!" and then faints! Luigi Shot Path: Left Shot Height: Low Max Yardage: 206 -Luigi has a low shot that doesn't go vey far plus it has a left curve. I'd say avoid Luigi *When Luigi gets a bad hole: He stomps his feet, hangs his head and mutters, "Mama..." Yoshi Shot Path: Straight Shot Height: Medium Max Yardage: 208 -Yoshi is a great character. With a medium high shot that is completely straight, he is great for starters! *When Yoshi gets a bad hole: He spins on one foot saying "Owowowo", then falls. Koopa Shot Path: Right Shot Height: Medium Max Yardage: 200 -Koopa's shot doesn't go far nor does it go straight. Koopa may be awesome, but not at golf... *When Koopa gets a bad shot: He holds his head, then hides in his shell. Donkey Kong Shot Path: Far to the Left Shot Path: Low Max Yardage: 215 -DK has a low shot and with a very strong left curve. He's lucky it's powerful! *When DK gets a bad hole: He throws a barrel in the air and pounds his fists on the ground. Wario Shot Path: Far to the Left Shot Height: Very Low Max Yardage: 210 -Okay, i'll make this short: Avoid Wario!! *When Wario gets a bad hole: He picks up a boulder, throws it in the air, flattens him (lol) and he waddles around squished!! Daisy Shot Path: Right Shot Height: High Max Yardage: 213 -Daisy has a harder shot than Wario (girl power!) Its a high shot too! Daisy is pretty good. *When Daisy gets a bad hole: She screams, "nonononono!!!" Birdo Shot Path: Left Shot Height: High Max Yardage: 209 -Birdo has quite a hig shot which is good because it won't roll. But her left tilt ruins it. *When Birdo gets a bad hole: She makes strange nises in a nazal tone (it scares me...) Diddy Kong (DK Jr.) Shot Path: Right Shot Height: High Max Yardage: 207 -Diddy Kong has a high shot like Birdo but I suggest avoiding Diddy Kong. *When Diddy Kong gets a bad hole: He does the Matrix, bonks himself on the head in the air, then realizes the Laws of Gravity apply to him. Waluigi Shot Path: Right Shot Height: Medium Max Yardage: 209 -Waluigi is a lot like Diddy Kong and Birdo. A slanted shot and a higher shot. *When Waluigi gets a bad hole: He has a heart-attack!! Bowser Shot Path: Really Far Right Shot Height: Medium Max Yardage: 218 -Bowser is more power than accuracy. If you want a powerful shot without aim, this is your character! *When Bowser gets a bad hole: He breaths fire! Note: A Star Characters drive is about 50 yards more than their normal character Here is the order in wich you will face each character: Koopa Peach Luigi Diddy Kong Yoshi Birdo Wario Waluigi Daisy Mario +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Passwords And How To Get To Password Mode +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Q: How do I get to Password Mode?
