Quick notes

Castle Club follows your Mii. Its championships and equipment shop are built around the Mii, while Quick Round lets you choose the familiar Mario roster.
Four characters use Star Coin totals. Toad, Kamek, Paratroopa and Birdo unlock through Challenge Mode; these are not paid DLC purchases.
Character Matches unlock Star versions. Beat a default golfer’s challenge match for the stronger version.
DLC characters have a different history. Toadette, Nabbit and Rosalina came with packs, while Gold Mario was the full-set bonus.
