Mario Golf: World Tour Challenges and coins: Star Coins, Moon Coins and equipment
Track challenge rewards separately from spendable currency.
Edition covered
Original Nintendo 3DS game. Official online matches and tournaments ended in April 2024; new DLC purchases ended in March 2023. DLC here means previously purchased content.
Star Coins unlock base-game content
Complete Challenge Mode objectives across the available courses; the first golfer unlock arrives at 40.
| Type | Objective | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Ring Master | Pass through required rings | Route through targets |
| 100 Coins | Collect the required coins | Plan flight through coin lines |
| Character Match | Beat a golfer | Unlock the Star version |
| Time-limited challenge | Finish within the limit | Choose fast reliable shots |
Moon Coins are the harder set
Earning 90 Star Coins opens these tougher challenge variants. Do not confuse their tally with the coins spent in shops.
| Resource | Obtained from | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Star Coins | Standard challenges | Content unlock thresholds |
| Moon Coins | Harder challenges | Advanced completion |
| Ordinary coins | Play rewards | Mii equipment |
| Play Coins | 3DS walking currency | Kamek exchange option |
Challenge formats need different tactics
Ring routes and coin collection may reward a path that would be poor in ordinary Stroke Play.
Shop coins tune the Mii
Compare gear effects before buying. More driving distance is not automatically useful if control becomes the main source of missed greens.
