* NintendoHard: Forget any traditional golfing rules if you want to reach the end of this game. Bouncing off of barriers, using Copy Abilities to maneuver and optimize, and controlling yourself in the air are just several tricks you'll need to master if you want to make it to the end of the game with a half-decent score. With the ability to take damage if you hit the wrong obstacles or lose a life outright by flying off the course, the game seems easy at first but ''really'' starts throwing some complex course design your way.
