this is like 3 1/2 stars. this review by no means reflects the individual seller i dealt with, with whom i had a very good experience. i got this game off the recommendation of members of a facebook group. i was really hoping it would not just be regular golf with mario slapped on it. i own the other mario sports games (for gamecube) and the gameplay for this one is not quite as compelling. i'm on the third course and so far everything is regular golf. i'm told there's arcade/fantasy style golf in the later courses, but that'll be too little too late. it's not bad. the graphics are very clean. being a first party title, you are guaranteed a degree of quality, even if it's not perfect. i imagine that this would be very good for multiplayer.

This is an incredibily fun, yet challenging game. I love the game of golf and Mario Golf offers the same fun, but with Mario's unique touch. The first few tournament courses are not too difficult and can be won with any of the character you choose, but I suppose they were designed to make you master your skills before moving on to the more difficult tournaments. I personally like Donkey Kong for his long ball ability, but there are other characters whose well ballanced control of the ball is better suited for some of the holes. I don't like the fact that you have to do a single player game in order to unlock other tournaments. If this game were more like Mario Cart: Double Dash where two can play the tournaments to unlock other characters, cars, or races, I would have liked Mario Golf better. But if you are totally into playing by yourself, then this will be fine. My kids like to play this as well. They like to play the side games like collecting coins, closest to the hole, or just playing against each other. While some golfing principals are handy to know, everything you need to know to master golf in Mario's world can be learned in about 20-30 minutes of watching the tutorials. However, this is a slow paced strategy game where patience, paying attention to the natural physics of the course (like wind direction, wind speed, slope of the green, speed of the green, rain, etc.) and careful planning help you compete well, not at all a fast paced FPS's or racing game kids usually like. My kids usually get bored after a while and return to Super Smash Bros. On the whole, it is a good game, one that I'll enjoy for a long time and finding it for less than $20 made my wallet feel good about it, too.Read full review
There are plenty of game modes and loads of courses and characters to unlock. The controls are very simple, using the a traditional power bar scheme for players to time their button presses in order to take a shot. Other adjustments are available, but oftentimes unnecessary. Graphically, the game is very sharp with great draw distances and well-animated and detailed character models. Multiplayer is fast-paced, as are single-player Tournaments. Just because golf is slow-paced in real life doesn't mean that the game has to be! Great game, well worth 10-15$ for anyone looking for a Hot Shot's Golf inspired Nintendo game.
As with just about all Mario titles, the game is packed with hours of fun. Toadstool Tour is chockfull of courses players can choose from with different modes of play to cater to each of their skill levels. Players can choose from a host of familiar faces such as Mario and Luigi, not to mention Bowser and Donkey Kong. They can also choose less familiar faces like Diddy Kong and Daisy. Mario Gollf: Toastool Tour is not only a great game but certainly one of the best golf games you can play on any console, period.

I played this game as a kid and had a blast doing it. I re-purchased it here recently to add to my GCN collection. The controls are fairly easy and pose no issues for new players or veterans. Linking with the GBA version of the game is possible and allows you to insert your custom characters into this game. --Pros-- Easy to learn GBA linking opens many possibilities Music is very nice, but a little repetitive Lots of characters and unlockables --Cons-- Easy to master Gameplay gets redundant after a while Once you get past the skill curve, the game pretty much beats itself
