Hot Shots Golf Fore! (North American version)
Capsule Guide
Version: This guide is for the North American version of Hot Shots Golf:
Fore! The capsule items and locations are different in the Japanese
version of the title. The only FAQ/Walkthrough currently available
on Gamefaqs.com refers to the Japanese version of the game (so you
should use that guide for the Japanese version capsules).
Last Update: February 10, 2005
Note: As of February 10, 2005, this guide is complete (except that I
need some help with some of the oddities, as mentioned in
section 4).

Welcome to my Capsule Guide for Hot Shots Golf: Fore!, one of the
wackiest and most fun golf games on the market. In this guide, you will find
what each capsule contains and where to find these contents. I have also
included a list of other ambient wildlife in the Hot Shots Golf universe.
If you have any information about capsule info I may have missed OR a
correction/addition/other input about anything else in this guide, please
e-mail me at:
[email protected]. Thanks and happy hunting!
1.0 Capsule Info
1.1 Capsule #1: Macaw
In-game description: A wild bird with beautiful red wings.
Course: Blue Lagoon C.C.
Hole: 15
Specific Location: Atop one of the Easter Island-like statues/totem poles
behind the green. Specifically, the macaw is on the third statue from the
left. The macaw can be viewed on any shot.
1.2 Capsule #2: Tumbleweed
In-game description: Mysterious grass with animal-like behavior.
Course: Western Valley C.C.
Hole: 1 AND 8
Specific Location: This capsule item is somewhat strange. I believe that you
need windy conditions to see it. On Hole 1, I had a 6 mps wind blowing from
right to left, and the tumbleweed came rolling across right in front of the
tee box from right to left, following the wind. On Hole 8, I had a 4 mps wind
toward the hole (helping me) and I saw the tumbleweed on my approach shot to
the green (my second shot). It was rolling across the green in the direction
of the wind. Incidentally, I got my second Double Eagle on that shot! :-)
1.3 Capsule #3: Pirarucu
In-game description: Largest freshwater fish in the world.
Course: Wild Green C.C.
Hole: 6 AND 12
Specific Location: In the pond surrounding the front of the green. It swims
to the right and then back left again. It's easier to see in the overhead
view, THEN you can use the normal view zoom controls to see it better. On
Hole 12, TWO pirarucus are swimming under the middle of the bridge to the left
of the green.
1.4 Capsule #4: Pirate Ship
In-game description: A pirate ship that shows up during bad weather.
Course: Blue Lagoon C.C.
Hole: 3
Specific Location: This capsule item is also very strange. I decided to play
a few rounds at Blue Lagoon C.C. under different seasons to see if I really
needed bad weather in order to see the pirate ship. The definitive answer is
"NO". I saw the pirate ship during the fall season at Hole 3. It is on the
left side of the hole, slightly past the beach almost directly to the grove of
trees in the left center of the fairway. The pirate ship floats to the right,
then back, and then begins to FLY! It touches down in the water again, and
continues its counterclockwise circling. The pirate ship can be seen on any
shot. However, it is NOT guaranteed that the pirate ship will show up on any
given round. Its appearance is random.
1.5 Capsule #5: Panda
In-game description: An animal you only see at the zoo nowadays.
Course: Silk Road Classic
Hole: 5
Specific Location: Right in between the tee and the green, the panda sits
in a grove of bamboo trees. He can be viewed on any shot. The panda is
chewing on a twig (and looking very cute while doing it)!
1.6 Capsule #6: Hippo
In-game description: A humorous animal with a huge body and a big mouth.
Course: Wild Green C.C.
Hole: 10
Specific Location: In the pond behind the green, to the right of the hole.
There is another hippo on the embankment behind the pond, back and right of
the hippo in the water.
1.7 Capsule #7: Hermit
In-game description: A super-human that hops on a cloud and flies across the
sky.
Course: Silk Road Classic
Hole: 13
Specific Location: Flies left and right over the huge chasm in the center.
Disappears and reappears in other parts of the chasm randomly. If you aim
your drive to the right hand fairway, you will often see him as the ball is
flying through the air toward the fairway (that's how I saw him the first
time).
1.8 Capsule #8: Super Jet
In-game description: Beautiful delta-winged airplane that travels at sonic
speed.
Course: United Forest G.C.
Hole: 10
Specific Location: Flies across the sky toward the tee box. You can't miss
this one!
1.9 Capsule #9: Parasailer
In-game description: A tropical toy that gracefully flies through the air.
Course: Aloha Beach Resort
Hole: 9
Specific Location: Right in between the tee and the green. Glides to the
left and then back again. You really can't miss this one either!
1.10 Capsule #10: Mystery Train
In-game description: A mystery train that travels space on rails of light.
Course: Day Dream G.C.
Hole: 6
Specific Location: The train's take-off point is behind and to the left of
the green. The "rails of light" are fairly obvious too and extend over the
green and intersect the futuristic city on the right side of the hole. The
travels on these "rails of light."
1.11 Capsule #11: Balloon
In-game description: Cluster of balloons floating across the sky.
Course: Day Dream G.C.
Holes: 5 AND 15
Specific Locations: On Hole 5, the balloons float above the Arc de Triomphe
replica on the left side of the hole. On Hole 15, the balloons float above
the whimsical castle directly between the tee box and the green.

It's possible to land your ball up here, so be careful! The shot will

3.0 General Tips for Finding the Capsule Items and Ambient Wildlife
As for locating the capsule items, it is very helpful to be familiar with
the camera controls. To zoom in or move the camera forward (or down from the
overhead view), press [triangle]. To pan back out again or move the camera
backward (or up from the overhead view), press [circle]. To get to the
overhead view [and back again], press [start]. This view is very useful when
trying to spot capsule items 3 and 7: the pirarucu and the hermit. It is also
the only way you can seem some objects, most notably the floating structures
on Hole 10 of the Day Dream G.C.
4.0 Oddities
4.0.1 Volcanic Shortcut
On the 2nd hole at Day Dream G.C., there is a secret passageway from the
middle volcanic opening to the green! I hardly believed it when someone
mentioned it on the message board, but it is true! Aim for the middle volcano
(it's the second steaming one).
--This was brought to my attention by User ID: Trevor2099
4.0.2 "Father" Statues
At United Forest G.C., in some places there are bust (head only) statues
labeled "Father." I don't know what these mean (can someone shed some light
on this subject?). There are 4 statues that I know of:
1. Hole 9, behind the green, in front of the two-tiered house
2. Hole 12, placed in the winding creek, in front of the green
3. Hole 16, placed in pond in front and to the left of the green
4. Hole 18, back right of green, in front of the two-tiered house
4.0.3 Flashing Hieroglyphic Rock
At Blue Lagoon C.C., on Hole 6, there is a rock that sticks out of the
water/beach to the left of the green (next to the yellow airplane). If you
watch closely [it may help to zoom in], some characters (hieroglyphics?) will
flash on and off on the rock. There are 4 letters, and I personally cannot
make out any of them. Any information anyone may have on these letters would
be greatly appreciated!
