If you’re a fan of the more frustrating side of Mario gaming, then one game that you’ve likely dived into at least once is Mario Golf. Originally reﷺleased ꦓon Nintendo 64 back in 1999, it’s also available on Nintendo Switch as long as you have the right subscriptions.
You’ll need a subscription to that includes the Expansion Pack content, which comes in a $49.99 for a years subscription per individual, or $79.99 for a family of up to 8 gamers. If you’ve got that, you can once again dive into the incredibly annoying yet enjoyable game that is Mario Golf.
Whether you’re playing on a Nintendo Switch,♓ or going old-school and playing on your classic N64, you’ll be happy to know that there are a few cheats and secrets that can be accessed. Of course, you could play the game the “right” way, but that does come with the issue of having to actu๊ally win, which is easier said than done in this case.
Mario Golf cheats on Nintendo Switch
There’s only one cheat that works for Mario Golf on the Nintendo Switch, but you’ll be happy to know that it’s the “almost everything” cheat. Usually, you’d need to take on each character one-on-on (and actually win) to be able to play as them, but this cheat unlocks most of the possible player characters in the game, as well as most of the couꦡrses.
It’s worth noting that this cheat will not unlock the four Transfer Pak characters, or the Mario’s Star course. Other than th♑at, you’ll unlock every character and course by pressing the followin🌜g buttons:
D-pad
- Down, Down
- Left, Left, Left
- Right, Right, Right
C buttons
- C-Down, C-Down (ZR + B x2)
- C-Left, C-Left, C-Left (ZR + Y x2)
- C-Right, C-Right, C-Right (ZR + A x3)
While the Nintendo Switch doesn’t have designated C-Buttons, you can use the X, Y, A, and B buttons while holding down ZR in order to effectively turn them into the needed directional C-Buttons. When you’ve input the code correctly, you’ll hear a chime, and have almost everything available to suffer throuꦆgh. Sorry, 𓂃I mean enjoy.
Mario Golf cheats on Nintendo 64
While there ♓aren’t too many cheats that work on Nintendo 64 but not Nintendo Switch, it’s still always good to know all of your options.
“Almost everything”
The “Almost everything” cheat has always worked on the Nintendo 64, arguably better because you don’t have the hassle of trying to convert Switch buttons into N64 C-buttons. To use this Mario Golf cheat on Nintendo 64, just use the same code ♍laid out i💮n the previous section.
Promotional Tournament Passwords
If you have the North American version of Mario Golf, then you have access to three cheat codes that will unlock new tournament courses. To get to the screen where you can input the codes, you’ll need to follow▨ the follow💯ing instructions:
- Highlight “Clubhouse”
- Hold down Z and R, and press A on the N64 controller
- Enter one of the codes below into the “Code Entry” menu
Course | Password |
1st Camp Hyrule Cup: Shy Guy Desert | 0EQ561G2 |
1st NP Mario Cup: Shy Guy Desert | KPXWN9N3 |
2nd Camp Hyrule Cup: Koopa Park | 5VW689O6 |
Note that even though a couple of these course are called “Camp Hyrule” they aren’t Zelda inspired courses. Camp Hyrule was a forum that graced the♒ internet with its presence back in the 1990s, and this is where the codes were given out, hence the name.
