I was avoiding using Aztecs at first until Max's story when you got a ton of blue star ones, then I discovered the bonus. :D<br><br>And true again on the stat items. I didn't really find much use for those items during episode 1 of story mode, but during the Tournaments you need them. <br><br>Yup, clothing only gives a Pang bonus the first time you wear it. If you work with it, you can end up with a 40% or higher bonus, which is nice. (Plus it looks cool!) That's true.

I was stuck for about 5 hours on the match with Titanboo. <br><br>Arin, Max and Kooh are my favorite golfers so far.
