Information in this section was contributed by PetaPan2.

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.

MARIO KART

Mirrored courses:
Win the gold cup in the 150cc class. After the Nintendo 64 is reset, the title screen will change to confirm that mirrored courses are enabled. Enter the 150cc option under GP mode to access the courses. Note that when racing the mirrored Toads' Turnpike, you will be going against the traffic.

Mario 64 castle:
Follow the yellow road to the right of the big jump on the Royal Raceway course to reach the castle from Mario 64.

View Mario Raceway record:
Press R at the title screen to see the best time trial record for Mario Raceway.

Course ghost racers:

Course Time
Mario Raceway 1'30"00
Luigi Raceway 1'52"00
Royal Raceway 2'40"00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint: Turbo start:
Press A to accelerate at the instant between the dimming of the second light and the flashing of the blue light at the start of the race. Performed correctly, your kart will rapidly accelerate ahead of the other racers. Note that accelerating too soon will result in a spin out.
Hint: Quick restart:
After falling off a course, watch as Lukita places your kart back on the track. Press A when your kart is two or three tire widths from the track to immediately resume the race.

Hint: Banana peel recovery:
When a banana peel is run over, immediately hold the brake for one second, then accelerate to avoid skidding or losing a balloon in battle mode.

Hint: Drafting:
Align your kart behind the next racer. Wisps of air will appear from the sides of your kart. The small speed increase that your kart will gain should be enough to pass the racer that is being followed.

Hint: Mini-turbo slide:
Hold R to slide around a corner, and press the Analog-stick to steer in the direction of the turn, then to the opposite direction. The smoke from your kart will change from white to yellow if done correctly. Continue to hold R and repeat the steering motion with the Analog-stick to change the smoke from yellow to red. Release R once the smoke becomes red. The speed of your kart should increase for a few seconds.

Hint: Easy hits in battle mode:
While playing at Block Fort in battle mode, shoot any green shells so they all bounce around on the bottom floor. If a player falls down there, they will more than likely be hit by them.

Learn where your opponent's starting point is located on the Skyscraper level. This should be easy since it is marked with a number. Go to that location and place a banana right at the point where they will appear. When your opponent slips off one of the many falls in this level, they will be set back down right on top of the banana, causing them to immediately lose a balloon.

Hint: Protect yourself:
You can protect yourself from getting hit by shells, or you can get back at other racers with this trick. Make sure you have a single or multiple bananas, or a single shell. Hold Z instead of simply pressing the button. The power-up will now be in back of your racer. If another racer shoots a shell at you, the banana/shell will block it. You can also hold the power-up until a racer gets in back of your vehicle.

Hint: Hopping:
Hopping is faster than driving, even on hills. Press R to do this during a race. This also can be used to avoid banana peels.

Hint: Driving off-road:
You do not need to follow the track if you have a Starman or Mushroom power-up. Simply drive on the hills until they wear out.

Hint: Power sliding:
Do not power slide in tight corners. Just drive and turn to get by them.

Hint: Spiked shells:
Spiked shells are dangerous, even for the thrower. You may want to consider holding, instead of using them.
.

Hint: Throw a shell behind your kart:
Get a single red or green shell. Hold Z, press Analog-stick Down, then release Z. If done correctly, the shell should shoot straight behind your kart.
Hint: Hop into first place:
Use the "Turbo start" trick, then hop on one of other karts at the start of a race. If done correctly, your kart will hop into first place.

Hint: Easier descent in Rainbow Track:
For a better start to each lap in the Rainbow Track of the Special Cup, press R to jump slightly past the beginning of the downward hill. This way you will not slow down, will hit the ground running.

Hint: Royal Raceway shortcut:
There are two sets of speed tracks on a row on the Royal Raceway. The second one is a long distance jump which you can make every time. To add a little distance to it, press R to jump just before the edge. For a better recovery landing, without a slowing bounce, continue to hold R until you land. Your kart will impact hard, but you will be moving forward.

Hint: Get gold cups quickly:
The following trick can be used to get gold cups without having to retry all the tracks because of a third or fourth place finish. On the last lap, when you are close to the end and are in fourth place but need a first place finish, use the brakes or slow down until your kart is in fifth place before completing the race. Then, select "Retry" and repeat the race until getting a first or second place finish. Also, keep track of your and your opponent's points to learn what place finish is needed to win. For example, if you have 24 points and the second place player has 21 points, you need at least a second place finish to win because ties will go to the player.

Hint: Wario Stadium shortcut:
Note the first bump right after starting a race at Wario Stadium. When the race starts, turn around and go back a short distance. Next, accelerate to the left side of the bump. Press R a couple of times when you are at the top of the bump. If done correctly, you will land on the other side of the wall, cutting off half or more of the race.

Hint: Yoshi's track shortcut:
Start racing and get to the area where all the routes combine. Go to the left until you see where the fence ends. After that, look down and you will see the other side of the track. Get to the location where the shortest jump is, then go back a little bit. Speed up, cut the wheel to that short jump area, and press R. If done correctly, you will then end up on that side of the track, giving yourself a lead. Note: You do not always have to stop; but doing so may help until you are used to the trick.
