Unlock Petey Piranha
To unlock Petey Piranha you must beat the Shooting, Approching, and Putting
side games on all 3 levels.

Restart Hole:
At any time in any one-player game mode that allows you to save (i.e.
Tournament Mode, Character Matches), you can restart a hole you're doing poorly
on. Save the game and when you reload you will begin at your drive and all uses
of Power and all shots will be erased, giving you a second chance.

Super Spins:
When setting the accuracy meter, there are four types of spins you can apply
depending on your button combo press. You must enter the combo quickly:

A, B: Super topspin
B, A: Super backspin
A, A: Normal topspin
B, B: Normal Backspin

Reset Pin Location:
Don't like where a pin is located? Save your game and when you load it up the pin
will be randomly relocated.

Quick Replay:
Once your shot has stopped, press B to watch an immediate replay. The angle will
change each time you view the replay. Press A to speed the ball up during the
replay.

Pikmin at the Peach Invitational:
During the Peach Invitational, if your ball lands in the yellow flowers you will hear
a weird noise and see small Pikmin fly out screaming. Press B to see an instant
replay of the action.

Taunt Your Opponent:
If playing a multiplayer game (with multiple controllers), press any button or use
the C-Stick when it isn't your turn to taunt the opponent. When you taunt you can
either use the C-stick for nice taunts or the D-pad for evil taunts. This makes it
easy to do multiple taunts for maximum annoyance of other players for when you
want the others to screw up in really competitive games where heavy bets have
been placed. Just roll your thumbs on the d-pad and c-stick and it will make their
mind twist and flip.

Change Weather:
Save your game and then reload it. The weather is randomly generated each time
the hole loads.

Peach Open:
To unlock the Peach Open, at the main menu hold Z and press START. Then at the
special tournaments page enter the code ELBUT3PX.

After unlocking the Password Tournament feature, type in 9L3L9KHR to get the
tournament, Bowser's Big Blast, on Bowser's Badlands.

selection called "Special Contests". From there, you can do a hole in one
challenge, as well as password input:

Hollywood Video Tour: At the "Special Contests" section, enter the code BJGQBULZ

In-game reset:

Replay a "bad" hole:
When playing in tournament mode and you have a lot of bad hits or putts. You can
restart the hole by doing the following. Save the game before you finish the hole.
When you load your game again, you will start back at the tee for that hole. This
also makes it easier to collect Birdie Badges and win tournaments.

Bow Wow Pits:
Bow Wow Pits count as an out of bounds, but are rocky and very bouncy.
Therefore, your ball rarely stays in the pit. It will be counted as out of bounds only
if it stays in the pit. You can also hit a Bow Wow with your ball to watch him
awaken and turn bright red -- do not worry, you are safe as long as you do not
land in its pit.

Albatross putt:
It is possible to get an Albatross with Petey Piranha. Use a power, and if you hit
the ball directly on the sweet spot on a par five hole and can get the ball on the
green, the second shot you take should result in an Albatross putt.

Best Badges:
When trying to collect Best Badges, you can only get one per hole.

Perfect shot:
Usually the only time you can get a perfect shot with any character with bad
control rate is when you get the power indicator (on manual shot) directly on
where the indicator started (it will say "Nice shot"). If you miss it by a notch, the
ball will go wild with somebody such as Bowser (it will still say "Nice shot").

Approach practice:
When doing approach practice, make the arrows that indicate where the ball is
going to land be about five to ten feet in front of the red circle. Then, when
shooting, have the power indicator stop just before the sign that says where you
should stop, and press A when the indicator comes back (to make the ball
backspin more). You should get it in every time.

Cast appearance:
When you finish the game in tournament mode, even if you do not have any of the
secret characters, the game will show a cast of all of the characters including the
secret ones.

Boo appearance:
When watching the introduction sequence, when Bowser starts chasing Waluigi and
Wario, Birdo is playing with the secret character, Boo.

Coin values:
In coin mode, there are different types of coins. Red are worth 10, Blue are worth
20, small gold are worth 1, and big gold can range from 30to 40.

Mushrooms:
When you hit a mushroom in Peach's Invitational, the ball will bounce high into the
air.

Warp pipes:
If you hit your ball into a warp pipe, it will appear from another warp pipe. This
only works with warp pipes that you cannot see through the other side. However, if
you hit it into the pipe it came out of, it will go back to where you hit it the first
time.

Custom ball:
When putting, notice that each character has their name and a logo on their ball.

Pikmin reference:
On one of the Peach's Castle holes, hit the ball in a flower bed.

Yoshi reference:
To hear Yoshi, hit the ball into a flower bed.
