Topic: Mario Golf (GBC)

I'm reviewing this one, and looking forward to it! Thanks for the initial reactions, BG777, and the warning about the icon GG!

The icon was fine when I went to get it.

No prob, Philip! It was fixed pretty soon afterwards I noticed. Btw, your reviews are my favorite on the site, so looking forward to it! I know it'll be great.

Oh, I wanted to ask you guys... I am having the hardest time trying to figure out how to putt further than a few yards with each club. I read the manual in the game and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any pointers? My par is 16 on hole 1! lol

I feel like all I had to do was play the champ of the Marion place in a match, win the tournament, and then I was done with the first part already...I feel like I am missing a little more to this game. I did play a mini game

The next time I'm in a WiFi hotspot, I will be downloading this. I have played the N64 version, so I'm curious how much different the GBC version is.

I'm loving this so far! Can't wait to play around with it more.

I loved the GBA game, so when this comes to Europe (hopefully soon ), it's a buy for me. Camelot do really well with the handheld Mario sports titles... the RPG is a lot of fun! (shame Mario Tennis Open skipped this)

Would be really fun if Nintendo actually translated Mobile Golf (GBC), which could be considered a "sequel" to Mario Golf (GBC), and released it on eShop. Afraid it will never happen, but it would be great if it did.

This game makes me wonder again, why they took away fan favorite modes in Marrio Tennis Open (I know this is the Mario Golf GBC forum, but still).

I am really enjoying this game as well. They don't make them quite like they used to.

They took them away because MTO was viewed as a console experience. TBH, I don't think an RPG mode fits with tennis.

A RPG mode fits in a tennis game as much as it fits in a golf game.

How would the RPG mode of this golf game not fit in with a tennis game? It's the exaaact same thing.

Not quite. In the golf games they effect your shot height, drive, ETC. In Tennis they only effect your slices and power shots. That was the main reason I strongly hate Mario tennis power tour on GBA. It didn't feel like Mario golf GBA did.

Believe me, both golf and tennis are almost impossible to play at first and require years of training and gaining experience to master.
Anyways, whatever.

I've only played Mario Tennis (GBC), but it had Power, Speed, Control and Spin. Did they really remove all that for the sequel? If they were, I don't see the problem bringing it back in a later game. In fact, there are stats they could add if they wanted too. Oh well.

How has thread been allowed to exist without mention of one the best commercials ever?
(well, aside from Smash Bros. 64)

Thank you for that awesome instruction! hehe You have no idea. You saved me so much grief just now. haha

Now I'm getting hole in ones and pars! Thank you so much again! Loving this game like it's supposed to be loved now hehe
