The essentials of playing Mini Golf
Try Mini Golf at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.
One thing to notice as you play
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The steps to play
- Aim a stopped ball.
- Set power and putt.
- Wait until it stops before another shot.
- Use Next hole after sinking.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.
Follow the example
A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
A mistake to avoid
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
