Nice Shot



A Nice Shot is a common event in the Mario Golf series. In order to get a Nice Shot, the player must strike the golf ball with enough strength and stop the meter bar in the sweet spot zone. By getting a Nice Shot, the golf ball is more likely to go on a perfect path, going where guided to. The words "Nice Shot" appear in large colorful letters, alerting the player that he or she has done well, but the player does not earn any extra points, powers, or turns for performing this move. When this is achieved as a perfect power shot, the number of power shots will not decrease.

In Mario Golf: World Tour, if the rising and falling bar is stopped exactly at the markers of the power meter, Miis' balls will have gold streaks while Mario characters' balls will have rainbow streaks. When this is achieved from the tee, an inset at the bottom right of the Nintendo 3DS top screen shows the character doing a gesture of joy. But this can be called a Nice Shot only if the ball ends up on the fairway or green.
