Mario Golf: Advance Tour

As good as video game golf gets on the go!

Strengths: Lots of modes, RPG like elements, Connects to Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour on the GameCube for extras

Weakness: Nothing I can think of

Mario Golf on the Gameboy Color was a great golf game when it was released and pushed the envelope as far as it could for what could be done with a golf game on an 8-bit system. Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour takes what Mario Golf did on the Gameboy Color brings it to the Gameboy Advance and improves it in every way possible! Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour may not be on hardware that is capable of doing...

Mario Golf Gameboy

Strengths: Fun for everyone...Mario and other characters

Weakness: None

This game is a lot of fun, even if you aren't an avid golfer it still is fun..adults and kids seem to enjoy the game. Fun for golfers and also fun for kids who don't have an interest in golf. Has Mario and the other known Characters that kids love. Nice animation and can be used on Gameboy and DS. Would recommend

Role-Playing Golf!

Strengths: Role playing golf!

Weakness: Too much chatter.

Mario Golf is another great mash-up of genres from Camelot. The basic golf game is well-done and fun (even to someone like me who doesn't care for golf), and the RPG character-building aspects are extremely satisfying. The biggest annoyance of the game is the sheer amount of text from in-game characters. But that's only a quibble - highly recommended.

Portable golf at its finest

Strengths: Pick-up-and-playability. Lots of fun, good learning curve.

Weakness: Not many here

I played the heck out of the GameCube Mario Golf game before getting my hands on the GBA version. My high expectations weren't disappointed moving from the console to the portable. The game moves a little quicker so you can get in and out of the game really fast if you have to. Great golf on the go!

MARIO GOLF ADVANCE TOUR

Strengths: gameplay,mario!

Weakness: Can't be mario in RPG section,some of the graphics

Role Playing Golf?

Strengths: Fun challenging gameplay. Role Playing Golf!

Weakness: Gets repetative. Goes from easy to hard too quickly.

I picked up this game not expecting too much, but I picked up a gem. It starts very slowly (the RPG part), but when the golf starts it's a lot more fun. Good graphics, and unique gameplay keep this game from getting too dull. The gameplay is identical to Mario Golf Toadstool Tour on the Gamecube(which you can link to using the GC/GBA link cable). You start by choosing either a boy or a girl...

Golf with a Mario RPG twist.

Strengths: Fun gameplay, RPG elements, GBA-to-GC connectivity, golf in a Mario World setting.

Weakness: RPG elements can be a chore if all you want to do is golf.

I bought the Game Boy Color version of this game a while back and I loved how Nintendo took the game of golf, placed it in a Mario World theme and threw in some RPG elements. The GBA version is just as good as that old classic. The way this game is structed and how you have to build your golfer's experience up is really rewarding. I think this adds a lot of replay value to the game and makes it...

Mario Golf GBA

Strengths: Gameplay, Stats

Weakness: None really

This game was pretty good. It was an RPG type golf game where you built stats and played different courses etc. You take that aspect, put it with everyone's favorite Nintendo characters and you have yourself an EXCELLENT game.

Role-playing golf?

Strengths: Unique "story mode", easy to pick up and play.

Weakness: Only one save file per cart, so you can only transfer two characters to the NGC version.

The Mario Tennis games for the N64 and Game Boy Color rank amongst my favorite sports games of all time. The excellent GBC version had RPG elements and allowed you to transfer your character to the N64 version. Mario Golf continues the trend, with excellent graphics and sounds, lots of variety, and fantastic tutorial modes. In addition, non-golfers like me will learn a lot about golf in the...
