Seagull

An Albatross (also called Double Eagle) is the most difficult score a player can achieve in the Mario Golf series. A player can only get an Albatross on a Par five hole, as an Albatross is three below Par. The only score as difficult as an Albatross is a Hole-in-One, which is usually only possible on Par three holes. Albatrosses are extremely difficult to perform, and usually require a character that can shoot the ball a great distance to perform them (such as Petey Piranha or Metal Mario). Albatrosses are usually done by means of Chip Ins, though on some Par 5 holes, depending on wind conditions, it is possible to land on the Green from the tee box, and then by sinking the Albatross Putt to get an Albatross without a Chip In.

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Golf: Advance Tour, the color of Albatross Best Badges are red.

Trivia

 * In Mario Golf (N64), if the player gets on the Green in one stroke on a Par 5 hole, they will receive the Albatross Putt message in rainbow colors when they start their putt.
 * The US version of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour has errors in identifying Hole-in-Ones: getting them on a Par 4 or Par 5 hole will display it as an Albatross, even though Hole-in-Ones on Par 5 holes reduce the player's score by 4 (like a Condor would) and not 3.
 * Hole-in-Ones done on Par 4 or Par 5 holes in the European and the Japanese versions of the game register correctly.
 * If players do a glitch on Bowser Badlands where they get Negative Strokes as a result of using mulligans after shooting from the Thwomp, it is possible to get a score better than -4, which results in the announcer saying Complete! and the hole played being the last hole of the match.
 * The Double Bogey music plays if the player gets a Complete! as a result of doing the glitch.
