Hole In One!!

Video games can really set the stage for making boring sports much more fun. Nevertheless, you really don't seem to see that based on the success of bowling or football, because they always seem to be challenging. However, golf is another story. While video games and golf really don't see each other eye to eye usually, but for Camelot and Nintendo, they definitely hit that nail on the head again. They did it before with Mario Golf and Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, now they give the old four scream out loud to the Nintendo Gamecube this time, extremely well and strong.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour is a golf game that really sticks with the Mario Theme, even better than the Nintendo 64 version. The game fatures seven different kinds of courses, with different kinds of themes: two of them are traditional courses, and the others are Mario Themed. The courses look crisper and the graphics also fit very well with the elements from the golf club, with some courses including warp pipes, chain chomps, and a real feel of the music, some of it Mario related. The character lineup includes some of the characters from the Nintendo 64 version including Mario, Princess Toadstool a.k.a. Peach, Yoshi, Wario and Bowser. There also are a few new characters not featured on the N64 version that are here including the spooky Boo, Waluigi who was introduced in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, Petey Piranha, Bowser Jr., and Shadow Mario from Super Mario Sunshine. The game also includes some of the same mini games including Ring Attack, Near Pin and near hole games to name a bit. While many people may enjoy the games, it is very relaxing but very challenging at times.

All in all, Mario Golf is one of the very few must have games that really stands out for the Nintendo Gamecube in what it absolutely delivers in a golf game. This is really a must have for all golf pros and new birdie brains alike. I strongly suggest this game in anybody's Gamecube collection.

This game is awesome! i bought it after doing hardly any research on it at all! it's a good and healthy way to introduce the rules and play of golf. though, i don't think you would find warp pipes, giant mushrooms, and chain chomps on your average golf course. the controls are simple to master, and much easier than the setup on the n64. you can do many different play modes such as tournament, ring match, club slots, and more! play with up to four people! i say this is the best game in my collection!
... BUY!!!!!

I Took a Gamble on This One

I have never even played golf before in my life, and I don't really like sports or sports games in general. I bought this solely because it's a 1st party Nintendo title and it has Mario in it.

Fortunately, I now love this game! It was a little hard to get used to at first, probably because of my unfamiliarity with the game of golf, but once you learn the controls, it's truly awesome!

Mario Golfs his way to greatness!

Let me review the greatest golf game ever (my opinion)

Graphics- The graphics are excellent. When you make a perfect putt in goes right to the hole and you see it drop in. It is 3-D and is awsome graphics.

Music- The music is exactly what you would expect from Nintendo. Catchy music for all the courses. My favorite tune is at the title screen.

Characters- You can select from a wide variety of characters in this game. Including characters you earn such as Boo, Shadow Mario, Bowser Jr., and Petey Piranah (I don't know how to spell that). It also includes classic characters: Mario, DK, Peach, Luigi, Yoshi, Bowser, Daisy, Diddy Kong and many others.

Courses- There are only two courses to start out with at the beggining. But when you start winning tournaments, I think you get about 8 courses. They range from Trees to beach shores to Bowser's Castle

Unlockables- You can unlock so many things in this game. You unlock characters, courses, and many other cool things.

Connection- You can connect with Mario Golf Advance Tour if you have a Gameboy, Gamecube/gameboy connector and Both games. You can unlock alot of things in Advance Tour also.

Conclusion- This is (in my opinion) the greatest golf game ever.

In the words of Wario: Wonderful!

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour is packed with great characters, controls, environments, music, and variety. Nintendo amazes me, once again.
I was wondering, does anyone here know how to unlock the 4 hidden characters? Thanks!

This is the best game ever! Nintendo did a realy good job on it. There are many things to unlock, like star characters, hidden characters, and more! You can tuant your opponet. I think you should be able to have a caddy like Shy Guy or Toad. However it can get boring espicelly if your playing alone. People who like adventure and action should stay away from this game.

Cheats

How to unlock Pety Pirana-Beat alll the side games exept birdie challenge

How to acsess specils-When on the menu that says press start press Z and hold it then press start while holding Z, you can play a hole in one compition where you try to get close to a hole in one. You can also enter passwords but I havent figured any of those out.

Good game, but not as good as Mario Golf 64

It's still a good golf game, but I guess it's just the little things that made it kind of disappointing. It was nothing that really matters, but little features that were just nice to have in MG64. Like in MG64 you could choose between different colors for your characters and it just added variety, not to mention two players could choose the same character and just use different colors, where as in MGTT you can't do either of those. Also in my opinion MG64 had better characters, and if I'm not mistaken, more. I could be though, I haven't played that game in a really long time seeing as my N64 broke a long time ago. MG64 had better music too, it was more relaxing in that game. Most of the courses also aren't really as fun in this game as the other one, but I can't really point out what I don't seem to like. But like I said, none of those changes are a huge deal, but it was enough where it didn't keep me entertained for as long as a game normally does.

Too Good to Pass Up

Although I've never played this Mario Golf game, I know this game will be a winner. The Nintendo 64 game had multiple modes, including tournament, where you play a round of golf against about 30 other players, get character, ring shot, where you hit par on a hole and shoot the golf ball through rings, speed golf (you're timed on a round of golf), stroke, which is like a practice 9 or 18 hole round of golf, mini-golf, and training, where you can practice any hole and change the weather and rehit single strokes. All this was great fun, and the multiplayer options were even better. You could play a match game, where the player with the fewest strokes on a hole gets a point, and you try to get ten points, skins match, where the player who sinks his ball in the fewest strokes wins the hole and gets a skin, and club slots, where you compete in skin match style and a slot machine determines what clubs you can use on each hole.
Camelot, the makers of the game, found that younger players had trouble hitting the ball on the old game, and now you can choose between the old controls, and a new setup.
The N64 Mario Golf game had a total of six marioesque courses (you unlocked the last five) and the new game will have real life courses and new marioesque courses for you to choose from, the latter filled with the familiar pipes, Chain Chomps, and fantasy links that float in the air. I've seen some screenshots, and the new game also has new characters, and there's always a character that works for you. They vary in draws, fades, and power.
I'm going to get this game no matter what, and if it is anything like the old Mario Golf game, it will prove to be a very, very enjoyable experience!

Funky fresh stuff!

Here are my thoughts on this improvement on mario golf. The graphics were just about the best I had ever seen on a Console system. However, I beat the entire game in about 4 hours, and the play modes where you went against one computer player were too easy, while frustrating at the same time. Overall I give it three stars. the multiplayer was fun, but the game was too short.
