Mario is quite the athlete. He goes kart racing, plays tennis, and has even gone to the Olympics. The quality of his adaptations varies depending on the game, but at least Mario Golf is one of the very best.
If you’ve played any cartoony golf game in the past few years, the control scheme should be relatively familiar. Making shots is done by stopping a bar with good timing to select your desired distance, then quickly pressing the button again to determine your accuracy. Once the sum of your drives has landed you at the putting green, you’ll aim for the hole an attempt to achieve a low score.

Great review there Clark! I absolutely loved this game, to the point where it's probably my most played golf game ever. The Gamecube game (much like with Mario Tennis, actually) missed some of the appeal for me, so I keep coming back to this on the Virtual Console, rather than the GC disc sequel.
I hadn't thought about this game for years but after reading your review, I went and downloaded it. It is even better than I remember. This is a lot of fun. Thank you for the review.
