I know, I was talking about the general concept and that makes that Par 3 one of the hardest holes to consistently birdie.

By the way, I really hate the coin costume challenges. They are on a completely different tier of difficulty from the rest of the challenges.
Yeah, these and the moon coin coin challenges are the only ones that I -hate- doing. Anything to do with coin collection that isn't devastatingly simple, really...

Really? I got all of the Moon Coin coin challenges on my first try. They are all pretty simple because you're basically just following a path.
Not simple enough! Haha, I just hate the coin collection part of the game. I hated it before this game, too. ;p
For all the shit Nintendo is getting about Tomodachi Life, Birdo is the most fabulous fucking character to ever appear in a golf game.
I mean, jesus. It's either modeled after a sassy black woman or a drag queen or both. And I love it for it.
(And not that it matters, but I'm a gaymer as well).
I mean look at this fierce bitch!

Can someone please tell me how to beat the first star coin collector challenge under Seaside Course? The coin is super high and even with the item (forget what it's called) I can't seem to get it. Thanks.

I'm not a fan of that solution because you'll have to learn how to properly use that type of bomb eventually for other challenges.
The actual way is to simply use a wedge after getting the bomb (while using said bomb of course) to grab the coin while dropping down onto the star-shaped fairway. Then you do a short approach shot and then putt it in.

Thanks fellow GAFfers. PreyingShark I'll try it your way first, if it's too hard I'll do it daydreaming's way!
I'm 70 Star coins in or so and I can't remember many challenges with that bomb. But anyway, you can learn how to use the bomb without actually getting the coin, then use the quick method to move on, no harm done.
Oh gawd thank you, I couldn't get the bomb to work to save my life

No news. I won't be surprised if the next DLC pack just randomly goes upAny news on that DLC goodness? I wanna play as Rosie now and play the remaining N64 Courses
On the bright side, the game's description for Rosalina says that she has a lot of power so she should be viable for tourneys and stuff.

I'm excited to see Nabbit as well! I guess I should do challenges now... but... meh.

To get the hardest AI, Pro, you have to get 90 star coins to unlock the moon coins (also unlocks Semi-Pro AI) and then get 100 moon coins.

How many coins to unlock the secret AI, Shark mode, when the computer only gets Hole-in-ones, Albatrosses, and Eagles?

Cheep Cheep Lagoon will not be featured in the "GAF Tour" because it's possible for a random lag spike to happen during your swing. This makes it not suited for competitive play.
Though, most people hate it because they suck at it so I doubt it'll be missed too much.
I'll work on the thread for the "GAF Tour" after my last final tomorrow. Now excuse me as I prepare to only get like 2 hours of sleep.
:3
Also, we got a new router so you're doomed now.

161 in both Star Coins and Moon Coins.

Siliconera and a few other sites mention that the DLC packs are coming out in 1 month intervals, although I don't think there's been any official word directly from Nintendo.

Cheep Cheep Lagoon is awful. Doing the weekly tourney and it physically pains me to play this course.
Worst 9 holes of golf and coin rush ever. I don't think I put any effort in.
My -16 on the DLC tourney is good enough for gold. Bronze for the item and nothing for coin rush. I hate coin rush so much lol!

I was playing while watching someone on Twitch so I had sound off
Do we know when DLC #2 is coming out?
What you do is aim to your right, and snag the item.
Than, turn and face the star coin hovering over the island. Equiped your item, and adjust its height, by clicking up and down. This is how you get it to go up very high.
Make sure the balls landing point is in the star coins shadow, and that your shots high peak is touching the star coin.
It took me a while to figure out, but it was basically the clicking up and down to adjust the height that I didnt know about right away.
The items in general take a little bit to get use to. I didn't like them at first, because I didnt understand them, but once you learn, they're a cool addition.

So I'm going through Challenges, unlocking stuff, and for each of the first fews pages of challenges I have got all gold star coins. But at the top of each page there's a half a star coin? What's that about?
Moon Coins challenges. They get unlocked once you have 90 Star Coins and they're tough. I have 54 of them at the moment.

Thanks!
I love Cheep Cheep Lagoon. Goddamnit.
So are the physics on that course similar to rain on any other course? Luigi almost beat me in triple sudden death match play because I couldn't hit a putt to save my life, kept coming up short.
Yes, I think so. Re: putting, just don't be afraid to put way more power behind it. Maybe I don't have that much trouble with it since I tend to do that all the time.
I need to get outside and hit some real golf balls ;_;
So, so, when are we getting Nabbit?
I saw some interesting costume in the latest Neko Mario Time, I wish I was skilled enough to get them easily in the costume challenges x)

You referring to the Wiggler costume? I unlocked that. I think you get that one after you have all the characters, so via medals (maybe 50 or 55?), not costume challenges. I'm going from memory, though, might be wrong!
Oh, maybe I missed it, checking now.

MountGAF over? "GAF tour" will start soon. Stay tuned.
It's also laggier.
EDIT: GAF Tour will be banning Star Mario BTW because he's better than all the other power characters. His straight shot means that the paths of mishits are much more predictable and easier to account for. It's also easier to memorize HIOs when the character has a straight shot because the flight path is more predictable.
Scoring system will be based on relative score, too, since this game's tiebreaker sucks. There's also a certain score on each course where once you get past that it's not really a matter of skill but a matter of memorizing Par 3's for consistent HIOs. No extra points will be awarded for those types of scores.
And it's not really worth grinding because there'll be a cut at the end and then community matches will be used to determine the winner. This is because you can't grind community matches. So if you're consistent you just need to do a few tries to get a good score for each tourney to make it into cut.
Pretty similar to rain.

Awww, boo. I do agree, though. I guess I'll have to practice playing with Star Kamek some more~
I dunno if that's really true... For my -23 on Mount NeoGAF, I had 2 chip-in eagles. I guess I'd be interested in knowing the details of how this works.
This is good, though! Community matches are very fun~

Yeah, thought about that. I think I'll do a soft cap instead of a hard cap to accomplish my overall goal while still rewarding people who make long chip-ins while still being consistent. And I think I'll make people's scores relative to the soft cap instead of each other because that's simpler and should still work out.
For the scoring system I'm probably going to set a score of 0 or higher at 0 points, the score used for the soft cap at 100 points, and then have a curve between them based on the idea that... Say a course's soft cap is -11. Then, assuming no long chip-ins, a -11 is 0 mistakes, a -10 is 1 mistake, a -9 is 2 mistakes, a -8 is 3 mistakes, a -7 is 4 mistakes, etc. So the difference of how impressive a stroke between scores is is bigger the closer you get to the soft cap. And each stroke lower than the soft cap will be awarded a small amount of bonus points that becomes smaller the lower you go.
Or something like that. The main thing is to keep everything relative so that the Top Cut works out properly. I thought about difficulty multipliers, but more skilled players would naturally get more points out of that course with this system to begin with. While grinding to the soft cap is possible, going by past GAF tourneys I don't think that'll be a huge problem since I'm doing a top cut. I want all-birdie runs to be Top Cut-worthy so I'll determine the Top Cut point cut-off near the end.
