'''Kid''' is a young golfer in the ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' titles. He first appears in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]''.
'''Kid''' is a young golfer from the ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' titles. He debuted in ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]''  for the Game Boy Color, as one of the four characters players could choose from the beginning. He could be uploaded to the Nintendo 64 ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for training, and he also went on to appear in ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]''. In ''[[Mobile Golf]]'', he was an unlockable character. Kid appears as a Support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.


==History==
He apparently started playing golf ever since the age of three and had already become a golfing prodigy at age ten. In ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'', it is established that Kid had become the Grand Champion in the last game. However, he was injured badly due to excessive training caused by strain of the muscles and joints to the point where he could not even grasp a golf club. It was said he could no longer golf and lost his title to the former champion, [[Gene]]. After a five year recovery, Kid became an avid golf trainer to [[Neil]], [[Ella]], [[Buzz (character)|Buzz]] and [[Helen]], until [[Bud (Mario Golf: Advance Tour)|Bud]] influenced him to pick up the club again when he signed them up in Marion. He ascended the ranks quickly and took back the championship.

Kid made his first appearance in the Game Boy Color ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]'' as one of the four characters players could choose from the beginning. In this game, his appearance is that of a young boy with kinky brown hair, prominent lips, and blue eyes. He wears a white-collared black polo shirt, blue shorts, and a white glove on his left hand. His socks are white and his shoes are copper orange with white stripes. Over his hair, he wears a red baseball cap flipped backwards. His bio on the official Japanese ''Mario Golf'' website states he began playing golf since the age of three and had already become a golfing prodigy by age ten.<ref name="bio"/> With the [[Transfer Pak]], Kid can be transferred over to the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]''.


====''Mobile Golf''====
Kid lead the title over the [[Links]] tourney. He also ended up forming a doubles team with Gene to advance up the doubles (more likely for the benefit of Gene gaining another title).  
In ''[[Mobile Golf]]'', Kid was featured as an unlockable character. He can be unlocked after completing all Go-Go Gates.


====''Mario Golf: Advance Tour''====
Kid never seems to lose his cool, and always tries to be fair to his friends and his foes. He encourages his students to keep going strong, no matter what. He is a very respected golfer and is considered to be just as good, maybe even better, than [[Mario]].
Kid returns in ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', with an older and updated appearance. It is established that Kid had become the Grand Champion in the last game. However, he was injured badly due to excessive training caused by strain of the muscles and joints to the point where he could not even grasp a golf club. It was said he could no longer golf and lost his title to the former champion, [[Gene]].

*It was implied on the Japanese website of ''Mario Golf'' that he gives thanks to his mother for encouragement.
*The voice lines for Kid performed by {{wp|Penn Badgley}} were later reused for [[Alex]] (in both the [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]] and the [[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Nintendo 64 version]] of ''Mario Tennis''), and [[Chris]] in ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]''.
*His character seems to be somewhat based on the childhood of real life golfer Eldrick "Tiger" Woods. This is most visible in his Nintendo 64 appearance, though later games masked this by lightening his skin tone.
