Mario Golf: Screens & Footage
Camelot Software Planning's Mario Golf should be heaps of fun. Swing into action by checking out these screens and a video.
Mario Golf is back, but is it as fun as before? Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong and a cast of their cohorts have dusted off their clubs and set their sights on the Toadstool Tour championship. Two new styles of golf courses and a new swing system offer both the seasoned Mario golfer and those new to the game a fresh look at golfing in the Mushroom Kingdom.
You can choose to play on a conventional course or an all-new course designed from the ground up to be all about the Mushroom Kingdom! Chip over warp pipes and avoid hazards like Piranha Plants, Chain Chomps and Thwomps when playing on Mario-inspired courses.
You can tee-off solo, or fill out a foursome for some friendly competition. Offering two levels of control for beginners and professionals, you can control your swing in a manual mode for experts and a partially automated mode for novices. Toadstool Tour also connects with the upcoming Mario Golf Advance Tour for GBA, allowing you to transfer characters back and forth.
As far as golf games are concerned, Mario Golf has always been as enjoyable as any - but Toadstool Tour featured some slight annoyances in the E3 rendition which need to be ironed out, such as overused and intrusive speech. Stay tuned for details on how MGTT progresses.
