Mini Golf King Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Win Duels

Golf can be easily regarded by some people as a sport that is not for everyone and while it is a very popular sport that a lot of people can easily enjoy playing or watching, some people simply prefer other sports. More often than not, a person’s interest in an actual sport determines the likelihood they will engage in it and beyond the actual sport, its virtual incarnations as well.

Golf’s offshoot, Miniature Golf or Mini Golf, focuses on the putting aspect of golf with holes tremendously shorter than that of its parent sport. For this reason, it has become more appealing to a wider range of audience and has often been considered a means of entertainment for families and just about anyone.

RisingWings’ Mini Golf King capitalizes on the fun factor that a quick game of mini golf can offer, ensuring that the sport’s simple mechanics are translated into a fun and competitive mobile game for everyone. Even though Mini Golf King has simple controls and gameplay mechanics, it offers a lot of features and characteristics that make it even more exciting and engaging than miniature golf games in real life.

Mini Golf King provides a very quick tutorial, which teaches you the slingshot method you will use for making shots, and changing golf clubs as needed, as well as a rundown of the game’s basic rules. Considering overall gameplay mechanics and its super simple user interface, it is easy to learn. However, considering that you will always be playing with random players make every match an unpredictable and potentially challenging one.

With your coins and your reputation always at stake, every match in Mini Golf King matters and as you gain more experience and skill from one match to the next one, so too should everyone else, at least theoretically. Mini Golf King is a game of skill and precision but it is not completely devoid of fortune or luck. In any case, there are no guarantees of winning every match you get into but if you want to tilt the favor on your side and dominate as many of the matches, our Mini Golf King Guide has plenty of tips and strategies to help you get there faster.

1. Master The Basic Mechanics

Mini Golf King adheres to the core objectives of the sport where the player with the least number of strokes performed before sinking the ball in the hole. Although a game of mini golf usually has a course with multiple holes that are multiples of 9, a match in Mini Golf King starts and ends on just a random hole depending on the course level.

mini golf king stage

While the chances of a hole in 1 are usually high in most real-life mini golf courses, given the shorter holes, holes in Mini Golf King are short but still make it improbable for even experts to sink a hole-in-one. Mini golf in real life also only has players using a putter whereas Mini Golf King will have you use a set of golf clubs much like golf. Hazards and out-of-bounds are also abundant in Mini Golf King, so a really bad stroke or misfortune can impact your performance. In fact, with a usual 2 to 4 strokes per hole in Mini Golf King, a bad shot any time in a match will make it hard for you to catch up to your opponent and vice versa.

The presence of gems scattered across every hole or level in Mini Golf King goes beyond aesthetic enhancements as there is significance in earning as many of them as possible at every turn. A gem’s size determines its point value and if both players have the same number of strokes at the end of the match, the one with more points from gems takes the win. Additionally, gems collected also lead to unlocking gem chests at the upper right side of the home screen and can be used as currency in special events.

Each level or hole you play in is not just made unique by its layout or the number of gems you can collect from it. Mini Golf King makes every course extra exciting with obstacles you will never see in actual mini-golf games. Surely enough, some miniature golf courses do offer unique obstacles that liven up gameplay but a virtual course can be expected to provide more imaginative ways of spicing up every match.

Speed tracks, bounce pads, pendulums, and even tornadoes are some of the additional objects on the mini golf course that you should be watchful of. Some can be very beneficial if utilized correctly and some can be detrimental to your performance. Planning on each stroke should consider all these on top of the hole’s layout and overall design.

Every match you engage in Mini Golf King is like a gamble where you pay a participation fee just like your opponent would. The game follows a “Winner takes all” format and you will receive both your and your opponents’ coins if you win the match. Trophies can be earned as well with each win. Losses involve both losing the participation fee as well as some trophies.

mini golf king coins

Trophies serve as your keys to unlocking new stages. Every stage beyond the first one requires you to earn a certain number of trophies and each stage also has a set limit as to how many you can accumulate. For stage 1, as an example, a maximum of 20 trophies can be earned, which is sufficient to unlock and compete in stage 2. Note that each stage is composed of different holes and a random one will be selected for each match.

2. You Can Hit Your Opponent’s Ball

One of the lesser-known rules of golf relates to penalties that can apply if you hit another player’s ball, most especially within the putting green. Although there are no penalties arising from the same event taking place in mini golf, it is usually avoided as the player’s whose ball was hit will typically have the option to play from either the old position or the new one, giving them a slight advantage in a sense.

In contrast with the above considerations, Mini Golf King capitalizes further on the competitive aspect of mini golf not just by removing any kind of sanctions or disadvantages for you if you hit the opponent’s ball but by rewarding it instead with gems on top of other advantages. Every match you participate in Mini Golf King certainly provides a unique experience that ensures each one is different from the rest and this feature makes it all the more engaging.

In a sense, going second means you can take note of your opponent’s first stroke, and possibly be able to replicate it if their performance is commendable. Likewise, you can also gauge the skill level of your opponent based on their first move as someone whose first shot does not go as far as you can and at the same time does not net a lot of gems as well may be less experienced than you are.

To some extent, there may be players who prefer going first in every match but considering the possibilities of having opportunities relating to hitting your opponent’s ball, going second becomes even sweeter. Crashing into your opponent’s ball will have it spit out some of the gems it collected, depending on the force of impact.

mini golf king opponent's turn

What can tilt the outcome of the match to your advantage is if you manage to drive your opponent’s ball into a bunker, putting them at a disadvantage, or even running them out of bounds. If you do manage to do the latter, all the gems that your opponent has collected automatically become yours.

There is nothing in Mini Golf King that prevents you from actually targeting your opponent’s ball even if you are ahead of the stage. So long as there is an opportunity to gain some more gems and at the same time place your opponent at a certain disadvantage, it makes the shot a viable one even if it gets your ball a little farther from the cup or the actual hole at the end of the hole.

3. Upgrade Gears You Will Use

Gacha rolls, collecting, and upgrading always adds more fun and excitement to any adventure and while the bulk of the thrills in Mini Golf King takes place within the stages, there is enjoyment to be found outside of it. Mini Golf King provides players with a wide range of clubs and gears to collect and upgrade and each one carries unique perks with them as well, save for the starting ones.

Players earn different chests from winning a match as well as from different events. Chests take time to unlock depending on their rarity, but each one holds some coins as well as gear cards needed to perform upgrades on your gears. You can access your collection of golf clubs and gears via the golf club icon at the bottom left side of the main screen. In addition to the 4 different types of golf clubs, there are also tabs for the golf balls, the gloves, and even the tees.

mini golf king gear

Every piece of equipment has rarity grades with higher ones being more difficult to obtain but inherently has better stats and perks. Additionally, gears and clubs also have constraints in terms of which stages they can be used. Some of the equipment you can unlock can only be used on higher stages. As limiting as this can be it also promotes fairness to shorten the power gap between newer players relative to more experienced ones.

mini golf king sand wedge

As you open more and more chests you will occasionally see a red dot on the golf bag icon, indicating that you have unlocked a new gear or an existing one has enough duplicate cards to be upgraded. In addition, to duplicate cards, you also need to spend coins for each upgrade. As can be expected, a higher level of upgrades will require more duplicate cards and cost more coins, which is why you have to be a little selective about the gears you choose to upgrade.

mini golf king equipment

Stats do matter most especially power. However, gloves and balls have added perks attached to them that can increase as their upgrade level increases. Likewise, there is the delimiting factor to consider relative to all gears save for the tees. Each one, as we mentioned earlier, can be used only on specific stages and stages beyond that. For example, the Yin and Yang Driver may be your best driver in the bag but it can only be used on stage 4 or higher. In this sense, you may want to invest in other drivers that you have first, especially ones that you can use on the stages you currently spend more games on.

The tees are unique in the sense that they cannot be upgraded. Tees are consumable as well so if you happen to be lucky enough to obtain some high-grade ones, we recommend saving them for emergencies. Given that you can change equipment at every turn, you can always just consider using the Beginner’s Tee for most of your adventure and shift to one with the needed perks when you feel the need to.

Likewise, consider what is at stake whenever you decide to use consumable tees. If you have already unlocked stage 4 and still wish to dabble in stages 1 or 2, then you should probably do so without consuming your special tees.

4. Strokes Over Gems

Planning each stroke with obtaining as many gems as possible should soon become an instinctive aspect of your planning. However, the allure of gems on the golf course should not lead to you risking the shot itself. The huge red gem, which grants you an instant 200 gem points, almost always works like a magnet that attracts your aim, and while there are often ways to grab one while managing to execute a superb or at least a decent shot, some holes, especially in latter stages, attach huge risks associated with those huge gems.

It is important to keep in mind that Mini Golf King favors fewer strokes over an abundance of gems and while you can get to keep the gems you hoarded even if you lose the match, the ultimate goal is to, of course, come out as a winner. Even if you manage to nab and accumulate over a thousand gem points over your opponent, you will lose the match if they sink the hole with just 1 less number of strokes.

In this regard as well, a more advanced approach is to still focus on strokes, with a bit of focus on increasing the number of strokes your opponent needs to make. As we mentioned earlier, Mini Golf King makes it fun and worth your while to intentionally hit your opponent’s ball. Although this should also be an integral part of your usual strategy, always be mindful of the risks versus rewards aspect of this tactic.

5. Memorize Holes

If memorizing maps in FPS and battle royale games is important and if every sector of a race track should be committed to memory, then the same should be a principal necessity when it comes to holes and courses in golf or mini golf. Playing through the same hole over and over should naturally improve your performance, especially when coupled with improved gears over time. However, you will likely stick with the same opening stroke as the previous one if you have already executed a shot comparable to what you had in mind.

memorizing hole in mini golf king

One of the delimiting aspects of Mini Golf King when it comes to practice or training is the absence of any such game modes exclusively for the purpose. The first up to the very last games you play in a particular hole will all be in matches, which are likewise at the mercy of the random hole selector for the match in question. To memorize each hole at a faster rate, we recommend taking a screenshot of it while in a match and checking the whole area’s layout, including perks and obstacles, afterward.

You can easily take a gameplay screenshot by pressing the volume down and power buttons of your Android device and, on an iOS device, it’s the volume up and side buttons. You may need to take more than one screenshot per hole as its entire length will not fit the screen, even after zooming out of it as far as you can. Note that you should check the screenshots outside of matches as you can never pause the game and keep your opponent waiting during a match.

6. Join A League As Soon As Possible

Guilds, alliances, clans, factions, and leagues have become a staple feature of most online games. Although particularly essential in MMORPGs or MMORTS games, player groups established for a unified goal have grown from a mere social extension of the adventure to a means of promoting the growth and development of the group itself as well as its members. In this light, it should go without saying that being a member of one is important, though not necessary.

There are only benefits to be gained from being a member of a league in Mini Golf King. As soon as the feature becomes available to you, you can just as easily choose a league with a vacancy and join one. A league can be a means for you to secure some extra coins as you can request coins from your fellow league members once every day. Do not hesitate to send coins to requesting allies as the 200 coins they will receive will not be taken from your hard-earned supply of coins.

mini golf king team

As soon as you become a member of any league, every match you engage in moving forward will benefit the league. You will earn crowns, which is the basis of league points and will have a chance to move up a division if your league is active enough. Your contribution and rank can earn you rewards and meeting a certain number of ranks can make you eligible for a division promotion as well, which often comes with better rewards for everyone.

mini golf king team members

In addition to the divisions and appurtenant ranks, gems you obtain through each match you engage in can also benefit your entire league. Amassing a certain number of gems within the limited time provided can earn chests for every league member. Keep in mind that being a member of a league does not necessarily entail extra time or effort on your part. Rather, being a member entices you to remain active or even make an extra effort as every bit of accomplishment you make will now reap more benefits.

7. Maximize Chest Unlocks And Rewards

Every win you bag across any stage in Mini Golf King comes with a guaranteed chest as a reward. These chests will have different rarities as indicated by their type and higher-grade chests will have more items inside. Likewise, higher-grade treasure chests will also take more time to unlock. Although some similarly-graded treasure chests can be obtained from different courses or stages, it can happen that they will have different sets of contents since some gears can only be obtained from higher stages.

open chest in mini golf king

As treasure chests earned from winning matches take time to unlock, with the most basic ones needing 30 minutes to unlock, you would want to ensure that the countdown timer on a chest is always active. You only have 4 slots to stock some chests and can only initiate unlocking one at a time, which means that a full set will prevent you from earning more chests if you win on succeeding matches. As you are likely to obtain chests of different rarities, hence unlock time, even as a beginner, you have to strategize as well on how to unlock as many as possible at the soonest.

mini golf king stage 4

Opening chests in Mini Golf King has a built-in ad boost feature to help you open more at a faster rate. As soon as you start to unlock a chest and the countdown timer appears, you can play a 15 to 30-second video ad to trim 10 minutes off of the timer. If there are less than 10 minutes left on the clock, playing a short video ad will unlock the treasure chest.

mini golf king wooden chest

What we recommend as a strategy relative to collecting and unlocking chests is to always keep a full set of chests or 2 at the very least, to ensure you will always initiate unlocking after 1 has been opened. By default, the chest with the shortest time needed to open should be prioritized, leaving chests that require 4 or more hours to be opened before you leave the game for a long break equivalent to the remaining time.

Playing a video ad even for the rarest of treasure chests will only cut down its time by 10 minutes and while 10 minutes less time to open an 8-hour chest is still well worth the effort, you are sure to take long breaks from the game and should leave those rare chests for those circumstances.

8. Accomplish Quests

Consistently remaining active across engaging in matches, unlocking chests, and upgrading your gears will sufficiently ensure your progression in your adventure within the world of Mini Golf King. Rewards earned through winning matches as well as amassing gems, chests, and even trophies and league points all point towards moving forward in your career. As much as all these rewards should suffice to consider Mini Golf King as a sports adventure with a fast enough pace of advancement, there are also quests available to further boost your progression.

mini golf king quest

Quests in Mini Golf King stretch out for a whole season. You can access the current quests via the button on the upper left side of the page. There are 3 daily quests you can accomplish to earn activity points. There are also daily chests claimable on the quest page. After opening 1 of the chests, you have to wait 3 hours to open the next one. Opening chests will also earn you activity points and all activity points earned for the season fills up a bar at the top of the page. A filled-up bar earns you chests as rewards. This will also rank you up for the season.

Every higher rank you reach comes with a free wooden or silver chest and if you pay real money for a premium pass, you will get additional rewards. As each daily chest you open only earns you 10 activity points, we recommend exerting some effort in accomplishing all 3 daily quest objectives. There is an option to replace a quest with a new one but since it costs gold, which is a premium currency, we advise against it.

mini golf king reward

One easily missable feature within the quest window is the points you can gain based on your division quest points and your league division quest points. Each day, be sure to click on each of these buttons at the top part of the quest window, just above the daily chests. Points you can earn from both can be significant enough for you to rake in enough quest points to rank up for the season and claim treasure chests sooner than later.

9. Claim Freebies And Ad Boosts Regularly

The ability to reduce the time it takes to unlock a chest through ad boosts is certainly a huge help to you if you are raring for more extra coins and gear upgrades early on. In addition to this, however, Mini Golf King provides some more freebies and ad boosts that you should take advantage of. We understand that there may still be players who abhor the idea of video ads in mobile games but like we always say in every game that has one, it is necessary to ensure that a game will remain free for everyone to enjoy.

There are plenty of offers in the in-game shop that would require you to spend real money on some items. However, with the help of ad boosts, you can have a decent pace of progress without having to spend a dime. Within the in-game shop, which you can access through the bazaar tent icon at the bottom of the main screen, you can claim free tees at the cheap cost of playing a video ad.

mini golf king tees

The Lucky gacha machine can be used once every 2 hours while the epic one can be used once every 6 hours. At this point, you should already know that tees are a kind of resource you would want to use sparingly so you should take advantage of this freebie as much as you can.

At the lower left side of the main screen, you will notice 2 banners popping one after another. The first one will be a mini-game where you can spin a wheel of fortune for free. This can be done once a day although a premium wheel can be spun if you have enough tickets to do so.

mini golf king spin and win

The second banner that pops up allows you to watch a set of 7 video ads with increasing rewards for each succeeding one. The first 6 video ads you play earn you coins and the 7th video ad earns you a bronze chest. Free coins and chests are hard to ignore and if you are raring to have and keep the edge in Mini Golf King, you should never let any of these opportunities pass by.

I have seen players with -45 percent wind to my -8 percent, quite the handicap. There is no in-game instructions how ball spin effects the shot or to level up wind reduction. How do I increase wind reduction to -45?
