Overview

How can Camelot possibly improve on the masterpiece that was Mario Golf for Nintendo 64? How about replacing the "normal" human characters with more Mario characters? That's a good start. How about new play modes including Birdie Challenge (go for the most birdies in a row) and Coin Attack (collect Coins with your golf ball)? Now we're getting somewhere. How about a mix of normal courses and courses with warp pipes, Chain Chomp sand traps, and more obstacles from the Mario universe? Sold.

Cast of characters

• Mario
• Luigi
• Yoshi
• Peach
• Bowser
• Wario

GBA connectivity
