This product is also called Pangya in Japan.

Background:
A long time ago, in a parallel dimension to Earth, there was a magical island-world known simply as Pangya. All was peaceful in Pangya until one day, an evil force summoned by the Demon King, came crashing down upon the land. This dark energy created a force field around Pangya that drained the life from the land. The world of Pangya became weaker and weaker with every passing day. Flowers withered, trees grew barren, and the earth lost its green. The people of Pangya could not come up with a solution to rid their land of the evil presence.

Until one day…the inhabitants of the land realised that all of the life force from Pangya was being drained to the Demon King through a hole in the force field. They quickly gathered and came up with
a plan. They would collect the spirit force of all living things into a magic crystal ball they called the Mystical Phoenix. They knew if they placed this into the hole of the force field, they could defeat the evil which has plagued them.

But the power of the crystal became so great with the spirit force that it could not be touched by human hands. So the people in Pangya created the Air Lance, a tool in the shape of a stick to hit the Mystical Phoenix ball into the hole of the evil force field. But the crystal grew weaker every time it was struck, so it was very important to hit the ball into the hole with the fewest amount of strokes possible. It was a warrior from Earth who was finally able to accomplish this feat, ridding the island from the evil force for good.

The warrior became a celebrated hero for brining peace and beauty back to Pangya. In honor of him, the game of Albatross18 is played today in the world of Pangya. The name Albatross was chosen because it is the best shot one can hit in the game outside of a hole-in-one. And 18 stood for the number of holes that were played on each course of the island. Today, YOU have been invited to play Albatross18! Come show us your skills and let us celebrate the game that brought magic back to the realms of Pangya.
Features:
  • Panga Points: When playing Albatross18, you get rewarded with ‘Pang Points’ for hitting great shots. Pang is the money used in the game to purchase many of the items and characters available in the item shop. Also, if two players are playing a stroke game and were to tie, Pang Points would be used as a tie breaker. Collect as much as you possibly can to be able to purchase all of the Pang items in the item shop.
  • Power Shot: Each time you hit a perfect shot that lands directly on the white line in the impact zone of the power meter, you have accomplished a Pangya Shot, and the combo gauge will fill incrementally. Segments begin to fill with yellow for each Pangya Shot you hit, and as each section in the gauge (3 total) become full, they will turn red. For every red segment you gain, you have earned a Power Shot that will increase your distance by 10 yards.
  • Putting System: The putting system for Albatross18 is very easy to read once you get the hang of it. On the green, you will see a grid with dots in each square of the grid. The dots represent where a ball would roll to if the ball were dropped in the middle of the square in the grid. This reveals the slope/break of the green. It may take a little practice to get used to, but even long putts will become effortless once you become comfortable with this system.
  • Caddies: The caddie you have will be shy at first but with time your caddie will cheer for you and give you great pointers. They will remind you of weather and wind conditions and help you with your next move. Look over the different caddies’ profiles and find which caddie is right for you. You can also go to the ‘Training Mode’ and train with a caddie. If you do well in ‘Training Mode’ you will receive the caddie, Papel, as a gift.
