  • Summary: Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour updates the Mario Golf series with more swing control, new courses, and fun side games. Carefully select your club, choose the optimal contact point and trajectory, compensate for wind and green speeds, and then swing away. You'll also have to compensate for each character's weaknesses and for each course's terrain--from beautiful rolling hills to fantastic pipes and sand traps. One to four players can enter a tournament, which rewards skillful play with trophies, badges, prizes, and secrets.… Expand

    License aside, this is the best golf title I've ever played. If you dig the sport and don't have a GameCube, it's time to buy one. [Oct 2003, p.48]

    As for those of you who are only keen on the Mario themed courses, keep in mind that Toadstool Tour will start off slow and you'll be playing on normal realistic-type courses to start off with.

    There is nothing quite like having a group of friends around, all buzzing about the screen trying to avoid whacking the ball into the bunker and using the ingame speech modes to annoy merry hell out of each other.

    Golfing game standards like club selection, power meter, and control of backspins and topspins satisfy, but the sometimes-clunky controls and confusing camera perspectives will leave you teed-off.

    Well, I haven't played it, but it looks awfully damn good, and I am sure I will be buying it, or at least get someone to get it for me. And to the people who feel they have to go and fully criticise the game..well, I think it's pointless. It proves nothing. You shouldn't attack a game because of it's faults. You should enhance a game by voicing out it's Good Points! And as always: Better to keep your mouth shut unless it's for a good reason... Go Nintendo! :D… Expand

    It's pretty much what you would expect. It's fun with others (as mario games are always). There are no real surprises here. You get exactly what you pay for.… Expand
