Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Nintendo's Mario Golf series returns for another round, this time on the GameCube format, and it plays better than ever. In Toadstool Tour, Nintendo's celebrities unite on courses that range from standard PGA types to wild Nintendo-themed affairs (the course based on Super Mario Sunshine is a particularly fine example). And yes, they're all here: from Donkey Kong to Wario, Bowser, and Mario himself. Nintendo enthusiasts will feel perfectly at home.
With its numerous game modes (which cater for up to four players and include non-standard golfing mini-games) Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour injects some vitality and excitement into a genre that is often painfully dull. Its Game Boy Advance link-up potential offers some innovation, too: flitting from Mario Golf on Game Boy Advance (available separately) to its bigger sibling enables new features.
The game boasts lovely bold visuals and great character, backed up by some delightfully chirpy music. Thanks to its incredible wealth of options, solo and multi-player modes and unlockable treats on offer, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour is the perfect golf game for players of all skill levels. --Jonti Davies

Stunning,

This review is from: Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour (Video Game)
Well I don't especially like golf and I've never played Tiger Woods or any of the previous Mario golf sims but I love this game. I bought it on the strength of Mario Sunshine and the care and attention that has gone into this lovingly crafted game is obvious. The graphics are stunning and the control system is intuitive - not like some of the sports sims, where you seem to have to mash a random combination of buttons to achieve a particular effect (Dave Mirra for example). There is an autoswing mechanism for the newbies or the younger players but there are also much more advanced swings that you can master to plant the ball exactly where you want. The courses range from the conventional to the wacky and there are some charming animations from the characters ranging from the despair after scoring a double bogey to the joyful leap after getting a birdie. Great fun - can highly recommend.

This review is from: Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour (Video Game)
Ive got lots of games on my cube and toadstool tour is the one game that me and all my mates want to play again and again. This game is nothing like EA's tiger woods games; its more cartoon like graphics and arcade gameplay set this game in another league. The game has ALL the famous nintendo charecters: Mario, Boo, Bowser, Wario etc.. And is very easy to play, unlike ace golf and tiger woods and the stupid analogue flick backwards and forwards to take your shot control system- this game has the good old fashioned powerbar system which works well. The graphics are some of the best seen on the gamecube and when your opponent is taking his or her shot you can taunt them with insults or jokes by pressing your buttons- Great! The single player mode is fun and not rigged to play but multiplayer is where this game just sails ahead of the opposition. Plug a few pads in and play; because its golf you can have a few drinks with your mates and play this game without giving it your full undivided attention and still enjoy it! You can probably tell by now I like this game but I also own mario golf on the nintendo 64 and ace golf and tiger woods on the ps2 and toadstool tour just rules. It might not be cheap to buy but thats why... Buy it you wont regret it.

Fantastic single and multiplayer game,
This review is from: Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour (Video Game)
I bought an import copy of this game a week ago and absolutely love it! The game follows on from the earlier Mario Golf games on the Gameboy Colour and the N64. An intuitive control system allows experienced and novice players alike to play the game easily, with a choice of manual or automatic shots. Manual shots are obviously much better, and allow you to add topspin or backspin to the ball.Graphically Mario Golf is a triumph, and it really shows off the graphical capabilities of the Gamecube, with great detail and texture effects. The depth of the game is excellent, with a large selection of mini-games and challenges, courses for tournaments and stroke play, and various character matches. As such the game should be long lasting and provide many hours of entertainment. Highly recommended!
