| 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''====
| | 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 the Club Manager 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. |
| In ''[[Mobile Golf]]'', Kid was featured as an unlockable character. He can be unlocked after completing all Go-Go Gates.
