I think you're just selecting it to "look" at it. Tap it again to equip it, possibly. (I use buttons, usually, so not familiar with the touch controls)

Ohhhhhh that was it... Hahaha well I feel so dumb now :/

Thanks a lot Robin!

So tonight, expect to see me in the GAF lobby with Gold Mario, I need money!
I'll start playing in about a hour.

 

[Branson]

Finally got gold last night on the Forest Chamionship. Destroyed the AI FINALLY after only getting -3 as my best. -12 last night while the AI had 0 all the way up to hole 8 or 9 which was weird. Feels satisfying.

 

[Kouriozan]

Ohhhhhh that was it... Hahaha well I feel so dumb now :/

Thanks a lot Robin!

I'm playing with the buttons too, that's why I couldn't help.
Anyway, glad the problem is fixed.

 

[Conor_Fool]

Okay so here's what is happening in case somebody knows what's going on.

(I'm sorry for the vertical video, but it was easier for me to catch everything that was happening with only one hand)



Just my luck Nintendo doesn't release bugged game usually, do they? That would be a first for me...

Hey, I was doing the exact same thing as you until I figured it out. You are only clicking the outfit once, you need to click it twice. Your Mii will change outfits on the display screen, and then you click OK. Hope I could help

EDIT: Beaten. Glad you got it figured out

 

[Robin64]

Man, multi doesn't let you vote on a course you yourself haven't unlocked

 

[daydream]

First time I'm playing the Mountain course. Let's see how it'll go (poorly probably).

Same! Haha. At least it looks awesome.

I'm really bad for now (like it's rare that I manage to get a Birdie), but why not! I'll try to join in a few minutes.

Edit: The game must download an update for me to play online. I'm waiting!

I should do just that, getting the stylus in and out is getting tedious, haha.

 

[mrklaw]

Got a positive handicap now. Hope that doesn't make any of the courses too tricky.

Won the first two tournaments and unlocked three of the shorter courses (up to wiggler world). Got 11,000 coins but so far not much worth buying IMO - too many of the items compromise my control for length

I'm using buttons mostly, but often using the touch screen for backspin - easy reach from my left thumb, plus it means I can just hit I the ball with A and not worry about combos.

 

[Kouriozan]

Moutains course is alright, harder than beach/forest obviously, there is some though holes but it should be fine.
I'm currently unlocking DK Jungle for my matches tonight

 

[daydream]

This is great. They outdid themselves with the multiplayer. Text chat is the only thing missing, really, but oh well.

Edit: GG everyone. 4th, but I'll take -1 for my first go at this. I'll be up for more matches later!

The symbols ingame are fine, but it does definitely need a text chat in the lobby. Hard to know if someone wants to wait around or not.

 

[LayLa]

had a go at the gaf tournament, the online really is well done huh

Yeah this has been a lot of fun, even without chat. The only thing I wish is that there was a way to see other players good shots (chip-ins, etc)... I have no idea how they would implement it though and still keep the pace fast like it is now, though. ;p

EDIT: I must have missed the explanation somewhere but how do you unlock the other courses? ~.~

 

[Robin64]

Just to get people into tournaments that may not read back a few pages or check the spreadsheet...

There are currently two tournaments running.

18-holes on Forest Course, Stroke Play, 1 day left.
19-1168-9943-8813

Star coins challenges in the Mario Golf mode.

 

[Jasconius]

Star coins challenges in the Mario Golf mode.

Ohhh I haven't even looked at that, thanks~

 

[PreyingShark]

How do you even have so many Eagle badges? Par 5 Eagles are mostly okay, if you power to the green, but on a par 4.. HOW?

With front tees, certain star characters can just power their way through to the green on some holes in just one shot. You need consistency with your timing so you keep on getting Nice Shots when using your Power shots, though, since you need a lot of those.

Easiest way to prevent this is to use Back or Tournament tees, which shouldn't be an issue once more people get star characters.

 

[Grizzo]

Thanks Robin, I just entered the Early Bird tournament!

I'm awful when it comes to the Green. I can't direct my ball well enough to make it fall in the hole, it always turns left or right. I know practice makes perfect but I have much work to do about it, haha.

Just tried that first tourny. I was bogey free until 18. My approach shots suck.

 

[Schryver]

Speed tournament was a lot of fun. It's cool seeing the other balls and knowing whether or not you are behind/ahead of the pace. Will have to give it a few more tries later.

 

[chronosic]

Just became champ on the seaside course. I think I'm gonna give this GAF tourney a shot.

what is criteria to unlock DK Jungle?

 

[Kouriozan]

28 star coins and I just got it.
Heading now in the GAF lobby

 

[mrklaw]

Is there a practice putting green or driving range anywhere?

 

[PreyingShark]

Is there a practice putting green or driving range anywhere?

Your only real options are the driving and putting challenges. Close enough I guess. They're in the Castle Club. Go to the path where the courses are and go right.

 

[Robin64]

Went into Community, sat on the loading screen now for five minutes. Not going anywhere, no way to cancel. Have to turn the 3DS off! And this isn't the first time either.

 

[daydream]

Just did the Rush tournament. I don't spend that much time on my shots, anyway, so I really enjoyed that ruleset.

Now to improve my score in the Early Bird tourney.

 

[Kingbrave]

Holy shit I suck...

 

[Schryver]

lol underwater golf is interesting

 

[Kingbrave]

lol underwater golf is interesting

That's what I was thinking, also, I really suck.

 

[Kouriozan]

Same problem as before, tried to re-join the lobby and I couldn't >.<

 

[Hispanicguy]

Man, I hate water lol.

Sorry about that last hole. Had to go away real quick.

 

[Robin64]

Same problem as before, tried to re-join the lobby and I couldn't >.<

Fix it!

 

[Kingbrave]

lol underwater golf is interesting

Good game, -_-

 

[Kouriozan]

Fix it!

Well, I have waited 10 min. In the lobby, nobody showed up.
Then it seems like I can't get in other people's lobby >.<
Or I'm really alone trying to have a match.

Edit : yay, finally someone x)

 

[Robin64]

EarlyBird tournament has hit over 100 scores! Really interested now in seeing what the prize for first place is.

 

[daydream]

Edit : yay, finally someone x)

Alright, two more!

 

[Tempy]

My Mario Golf did not arrive today :| Probably tuesday now at the earliest.

 

[Kouriozan]

Alright, two more!

We might have to start the game with only the two of us >.<
I'll start in 3 min if nobody show up.

 

[mrklaw]

My 3DSXL seems to run out of charge really fast - had it since launch. Can you get replacement batteries?

 

[Kouriozan]

DK jungle time, first time playing it

 

[Kinsei]

I have a +7.3 handicap in Castle Club mode and I haven't even tries out the seaside course yet. The tournaments are super addictive.

Probably a ton of coins. I don't think you'll get a trophy since there doesn't appear to be trophy icons on the standings screen like the official tournaments..

 

[Robin64]

Yeah, it's coins, but apparently the amount depends on the number of participants. I wonder how many tourneys will get as many entries as GAF ones. I bet our prize amount will be substantial.

 

[Kouriozan]

Oh god I'm doing so bad with bouncy Mario :lol

How does the lobby work - just go Vs/community/list/neogaf?

How does the lobby work - just go Vs/community/list/neogaf?

You need to put in the code once, but then it will always be in your list.

 

[Schryver]

Early bird tourney here we go!
