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 perfectly. 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. The player does not earn any extra points, powers, or turns for performing this move; except that when this is achieved as a power shot, the number of power shots will not decrease.
Special effects happen when a Nice Shot is achieved. In Mario Golf, Mario's ball becomes a fireball. In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, the balls of Mario and Shadow Mario are cloaked in red and blue flames respectively, and Yoshi's and Birdo's balls leave a rainbow trail. In Mario Golf: World Tour, Miis' balls have gold streaks while Mario characters' balls have rainbow streaks.
