The gameplay is similar to past installments of the Mario Golf series. Players have to hit shots while taking into account character attributes, wind, weather, and course topography. The power, accuracy, and spin of shots are determined by the timing when the player taps buttons or the touch screen as a target line slides up and down the power meter. A simplified control system, like the Auto control system from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour , returns where the player has to worry only about the power of the shot, at the expense of being unable to add topspin or backspin. The touch screen can now be used for selecting clubs, initiating shots, and adding spin. Plus, the trajectory of the shot can be altered by moving the circle pad or by using the touch screen as the shot meter is in motion; this is similar to the impact zone feature of past games. A new feature, known as Item Shots , allows players to hit shots with different effects via items. These include burning through trees with a Fire Flower , creating Note Blocks over water hazards, ignoring wind via Bullet Bill , increasing draw or fade by Boomerang , and freezing the terrain with an Ice Flower . These items can be collected by hitting ? Blocks on the course, although players sometimes start holes with items.

Castle Club

The game includes 13 default characters as well as four unlockable characters, with an additional four as downloadable content, making a total of 21 characters. When the bonus characters are unlocked or downloaded, they immediately get a star rank. Miis , Toad , Kamek , Paratroopa , Gold Mario , Toadette , Nabbit , and Rosalina are playable for the first time in the Mario Golf series, though Gold Mario cannot be used in 100 Coins challenges. In addition, Daisy , Boo , Bowser Jr. , Diddy Kong , and Birdo are playable in a handheld console Mario Golf installment for the first time, after previously being playable in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour . With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Nintendo 3DS in March 2023, it is no longer possible to buy the downloadable characters, though they can still be downloaded by those who purchased them when they were available.

Below is a table of the playable characters. Note that Height is on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being the lowest-flying shot and 10 being the highest. Sweet Spot and Control are out of 11. When a character curves the ball, it is either called a fade or draw. A fade is when the ball curves in the direction of the dominant hand and a draw is when the ball curves opposite the direction of the dominant hand. When a shot is used with a curve on a hole with a higher surface, the ball can either over-curve or under-curve, resulting in misplacing of the ball.

Stronger Star versions of the default characters can be unlocked by beating them in their respective character match in Challenges mode.

These characters can be obtained by collecting a specific amount of Star Coins in Challenge Mode, after all Mario World courses are unlocked.

Downloadable

Customizable, non-playable.

These characters appear as either non-playable characters in Castle Club that players can interact with or as background elements in many of the various golf courses in the game.

Customizable gear

There is a variety of purchasable gear that can be used to customize the player's Mii that will affect their stats. The game will have 500 customizable gear items. If a player equips a Mii with a full character gear set the Mii will play similarly to that character. At first, participating in tournaments is the only way players can unlock gear that are not available in the store. But it will start selling them once a major tournament has ended. However, players have to enter major tournaments to earn clothing sets themed after these tournaments.

Various items can be used during gameplay to affect the player's shots. At the start of the game, the player is given the number of items equivalent to the number of holes being played on divided by three. More can be received when the player hits the ball through ? Blocks , which give the player random items. If the ball goes through a box with a picture of an item on it, the player gets that item. In player-tournaments, a set amount of items can be chosen for the tournament players to receive before starting.

Mario Golf: World Tour has the most courses of all Mario Golf games, with 16, including the downloadable courses, making a total of 234 holes. The Castle Club courses have 18 holes and have championships that the Mii can compete in against other Super Mario characters. The Mario World Courses contain gimmicks based on different Super Mario games and have nine holes. All these courses can be accessed through both Mario Golf (quick round) and Castle Club. The six downloadable courses, which could be bought with real money, are taken from the Nintendo 64 game with updated music and graphics. Some of these courses have changed appearances to look like specific worlds from New Super Mario Bros. U .

With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Nintendo 3DS in March 2023, it is no longer possible to buy the downloadable courses, though they can still be downloaded by those who purchased them when they were available.

There are two main modes of play: Mario Golf (Quick Round), and Castle Club.

Mario Golf (Quick Round) is similar to past Mario Golf games, where the player can select a Mushroom Kingdom character or a customized Mii. It features a variety of modes such as Single Player (including Stroke Play, Match Play, Speed Golf, and Point Tourney, all of which provide coins for the player), Vs. (Local Play, Online Friends, and Community Match), and Tournaments (Mario Open and user-created Private Tournaments). Additional regional and worldwide online tournaments are available on the entry floor of the Castle Club.

Single Player

This mode allows players to take on a round by themselves, and against the clock or a computer opponent, as well as Challenges, where courses, Star characters, and Mii costumes can be unlocked. The first four modes allow the player to select any unlocked course. The following settings can be adjusted: number of holes (three, six, nine, or 18), order of holes (normal or mixed), wind strength, whether or not to use items or club slots or have coins on the course, whether to start from hole 1 or hole 10 (when playing the holes in normal order), what tees to start from (regular, back, or tournament), and whether or not to display the shot trajectory. Playing rounds may earn the player Best Badges and will randomly unlock Mii Gear for the player's Mii to use.

Stroke Play

A standard round of golf, where the player's score is compared to par.

The player competes against a computer-controlled opponent. The winner of the round is whichever player wins more holes, although if the players are tied by the end of the game, it will proceed into Sudden Death and go through the selected course again until someone wins. The player may choose the opponents skill level, ranging in five different varieties, two of which need to be unlocked.

Instead of counting strokes, the player's score is determined by how much time is taken to sink the ball.

Point Tourney

Scored via a modified version of the Stableford scoring system . The player is awarded eight points for an albatross or a hole in one, five for an eagle, three for a birdie, two for a par, and one for a bogey. A double bogey or worse scores zero.

Each of the game's courses, including downloadable courses, have ten Star Coin challenges and ten Moon Coin challenges (the latter are more difficult, and unlocked by earning 90 Star Coins). They take the following forms:

This is the game's multiplayer mode. Local play is available for up to four players, but it does not support download play. During multiplayer, all players play at the same time, which speeds up play significantly because players do not have to wait until it is their turn to play. However, all players must finish the hole before they are allowed to move on. Players can see the ghost shots of other players and on-screen icons also show how the player's shots measure with the other players' in terms of distance. Players can send taunts or cheers to each other by pressing icons, as well as emoticons. Matches with online friends and community matches can also be played from this menu.

Skins Match

In addition to Stroke Play, Match Play, Speed Golf, and Point Tourney from the single-player mode, Skins Matches are playable, though exclusive to multiplayer. They are very similar to Match Play in that the goal is to earn the most points. However, this mode can be played by 2-4 players, and rather than having a set point goal, the player with the most points after a set number of holes wins. This mode does not support simultaneous play.

To the left of the Caddie Master's booth is the Royal Garden, which has pipes leading to the six Mario World courses, and a passageway to the Royal Room. Entering these pipes will put the player in a practice round on any of the courses, where the player uses the front tees, starts out with a few items and can grab more from Item Boxes around the course, and hits the ball through coins that appear as well. At the far left of this garden is an aura which will summon Kamek when the player approaches it. Kamek can exchange play coins for game coins, change his/her dominant hand, allow mulligans (the ability to redo strokes), or change the player's swing type, all at a cost of a huge amount of coins. After all three course championships are won, Costume Challenges will begin appearing in the Royal Garden, where players can unlock costumes by completing objectives such as collecting a certain amount of coins, finishing in a short period of time, and beating a target score using Club Slots, all on Mario World courses. Unlike in Quick Round, where the challenges only cover three specific holes and the front or back tees are used, Costume Challenges take place on all nine holes and tournament tees are used. To the right of the main course entrances is an area with entrances to training grounds where players can take a golf tutorial (no gate) and practice their drives (purple gate), approaches (blue gate), and putts (green gate). The practice sessions come in different levels, and the goal is get the ball as close to the pin as possible -- or even sink the ball -- to earn practice points. Succeeding 20 times in the training games each for drives, approaches, and putts will give the player costumes of Bee Mario , Cloud Mario , and Boomerang Mario respectively. Past the practice grounds is the entrance to Sky Island , where the player takes on the One-On, One-Putt challenge, which requires the player to get the ball onto the green in one shot, then putt that ball in the next for nine consecutive holes. If the ball misses the green or just lands on the fringe, or the putt is missed at any point, the challenge is failed. Upon completion, the course will be unlocked and a 18-hole version can be played in Castle Club in its stead. Taking the One-On, One-Putt challenge again and clearing all 18 holes will award the player with a Propeller Mario costume.

Toad's Booth

Hosted by a blue Toad, this is primarily where players can purchase downloadable content. Records for each game mode, including the number of eagles, albatrosses, and holes-in-one made, can also be viewed here. Players can also visit this booth to learn how to play the game, and see a glossary of golf terminology.

Online tournaments

Mario Golf: World Tour features a variety of online tournaments for players to take part in. They can either be made by Nintendo with golf gear as participation prizes (barring DLC tournaments), by other players from across the world in the form of Private Tournaments, or made by Callaway Golf in partnership with Nintendo. SpotPass must be turned on for tournaments to be entered.

After playing through a tournament, the player must upload their score in order for it to be ranked (by score then order of submission) in the leaderboard which can be viewed at any time during the tournament period. Tournaments can be played an infinite amount of times until the deadline has been met, allowing for continuous improvement of a player's score. Most tournaments last for two weeks, those on downloadable courses are one week long, and major tournaments last for almost a month. After a deadline ends for a tournament, the final standings can be viewed in an award ceremony, and both a trophy (gold for the top 10%, silver for the top 20-30%, and bronze for the top 40-60%) and coins are received depending on how the player places. Gaining a trophy in certain regional or worldwide tournaments will allow the player to enter one of four yearly major worldwide tournaments (such as the Castle Tournament or Star Open) that reward the player with a more impressive trophy and a larger coin payout.

Trophies earned from Regional and World Tournaments in the Castle Club appear on the shelf at the back of the trophy hall (a maximum of ten normal trophies can be on display at any one time), and trophies from major tournaments appear in the glass display towards the center of the room. Gold trophies appear beside the screen in the middle, silver ones are seen farther from it, and bronze ones are placed at the far sides of the hall. World tournament trophies appear towards the middle and those for regional tournaments are placed at the sides. The higher the end ranking the player got in a tournament, the closer to the middle its trophy is placed.

Official online tournaments were concluded with World Tour Final, which started on December 20, 2018, and ended on January 10, 2019. Despite this, official online DLC tournaments remained available, with the final DLC Trial Tour 98 on Mario's Star having entries allowed until December 31, 2030, a placeholder date which stayed until the Nintendo Network service was shutdown on April 8, 2024.

The types of Official online tournaments that were created are listed below:

Regional Tournaments

In the Castle Club's basement, the player's Mii can go into a pipe on the red entry machine to join Regional Tournaments. These restrict participants to those in the chosen region(s). The clothing prizes for these tournaments are obtained individually, and are themed after the playable characters (not the downloadable ones), and some enemies and items. Additionally, Callaway Golf has teamed up with Nintendo to produce Callaway-based regional tournaments, which will give the players sponsored Callaway Gear for the Mii to equip during the tournaments and to keep afterwards.

World Tournaments

On the other side of the Castle Club's basement, the blue entry machine has a pipe leading to World Tournaments, which pit the player against the whole world. The clothing prizes for these tournaments are earned in complete sets and designed like Nintendo gaming devices and themed after the major tournaments.

Major tournaments are like the expert tournaments, only that the flight path is turned on. Four of these happen every year. The Castle Tournament is in the Forest Course, the Star Open is in the Seaside Course, and the Moon Open is in the Mountain Course. In these tournaments, the holes are played in the regular order. The World Championship takes place on all three courses at once, six holes being played on for each course, and the holes are done in a mixed order.

In addition to Castle Club Tournaments, Nintendo has also created Mario Open tournaments which allow the use of Super Mario characters, and are played on Mario World courses and downloadable courses. Tournaments in this category cover nine holes, so on the downloadable courses, either the front nine or back nine are played on. All of these tournaments are world tournaments, but they award pieces of clothing for the Mii in the same way as the regional tournaments. Mario Open tournaments are stroke-play or coin-collecting tournaments, and when there are no item restrictions, players start out with three different items. Fixed-character tournaments limit players to using a specific character, and that character is not allowed to have a star rank. In limited-item tournaments, players can only use a particular item, and they start out with five of it. Players can also make their own unofficial Mario Open tournaments under rules of their choice for other players to enjoy.

Downloadable content

Mario Golf: World Tour was one of two Mario games on the 3DS to provide paid DLC, the other being New Super Mario Bros 2 .

On April 17th, a demo of the game was released on the Nintendo eShop for Europe, making this strictly the second Super Mario game (preceded by Mario & Luigi: Dream Team ) to have a publicly released demo for download. The demo was later released in North America on April 24. It uses 873 blocks when downloaded and offers ten uses (fifteen for the North American demo).

The demo lets the player go through a tutorial covering camera and shot control or play through either holes 1, 2, and 3 of Seaside Course , holes 1, 2, and 6 of Wiggler Park , and holes 1, 5, and 6 of Yoshi Lake . The demo also allows the player to play the Star Coin Collector mode on hole 9 of Peach Gardens , and the Ring Master mode on hole 14 of Mountain Course . The only playable characters available are Mario , Peach , Yoshi , and Bowser .

Critical reception

Mario Golf: World Tour has received generally positive reviews among critics. IGN gave the game a score of 8.6/10 (a "great" rating). They praised the game's learning curve, training options, quantity of unlockables, and multiplayer, but criticized the map in Castle Club, saying it was "confusing". [3] Joystiq gave 3 stars out of 5, being more critical, while praising the basic gameplay and online options, criticizing the Castle Club, opining it as sparse and dispensable, while also opining that the game as a whole was too safe in its approach. [4] Thomas Whitehead of Nintendo Life compared Mario Golf: Word Tour favorably to Mario Tennis Open . He praised the game for a perceived sense of attention to detail, as well as its skill curve. He gave the game a score of 9/10. [5] The game was scored 83% by Official Nintendo Magazine. [6] Mario Golf: World Tour currently averages a score of 78 out of a possible 100 on Metacritic. [7]

Regional differences.

In the British English version of Mario Golf: World Tour , the exclamation marks are missing from the animation for Birdie , Eagle , and Albatross . One is present in the Hole-in-One animation, however. The Hole-in-One text that appears in both English versions are different, the British English version having "HOLE-IN-ONE!", whereas the American English version has "HOLE IN ONE!!", leaving out the dashes.

The character select screen also has multiple differences in the distance for each character, as the letters size vary for different versions, with the British English letters being bigger than the American English letters. The abbreviation for "Yards" is also different, with the American English version having "yd." and leaves a space between it and the number, whereas the British English region uses a "yd" abbreviation with no space between the numbers and letters.

Pre-release and unused content

In some pre-release screenshots, the animations for " Birdie " or " Bogey " had orange circles and letters, whereas in the final game, they're blue. The letters and wording was also different in the final version, with different colors, fonts and sizes. Many holes where different, either moved or changed completely. Dark transparent boxes were also added behind the wording of certain course information, and some things were moved to different parts of the screen.

Mario Golf: World Tour was created by staff at both Camelot and Nintendo, with localization teams from both Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe also involved, the latter organization involving sixteen translators to bring the game to a variety of languages. Both Shigeru Miyamoto and Koji Kondo were involved as supervisors. Finally, while she was not listed in the game's credits, Kerri Kane portrayed Rosalina via recycled and previously unused voice clips from her earlier work on Mario Kart 7 . [8]

Gameplay [ ]

The gameplay is rather similar to the previous entries of the Mario Golf series, where the player takes into account character attributes, weather and the course topography while managing the power, accuracy and spin of the shot through buttons or the touch screen. A simplified control method is also available where the player only has to worry about the power of the shot. there are now items in this game which add different effects to a shot. they are obtained through hitting Question Blocks.

The six downloadable courses, which must be bought with real money, are taken from the Nintendo 64 game with updated music and graphics. Some of these courses have changed appearances to look like specific worlds from New Super Mario Bros. U . The base game has a roster of 17 characters with 4 of them being unlockable:

• Donkey Kong

On April 17th, a demo of the game was released on the Nintendo eShop for Europe, making this strictly the second Mario game (preceded by Mario & Luigi: Dream Team ) to have a publicly released demo for download. The demo was later released in North America on April 24. It uses 873 blocks when downloaded and offers ten uses (fifteen for the North American demo).

The demo lets the player go through a tutorial covering camera and shot control or play through either holes 1, 2, and 3 of Seaside Course, holes 1, 2, and 6 of Wiggler Park, and holes 1, 5, and 6 of Yoshi Lake. The demo also allows the player to play the Star Coin Collector mode on hole 9 of Peach Gardens, and the Ring Master mode on hole 14 of Mountain Course. The only playable characters available are Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser.

Critical reception [ ]

Mario Golf: World Tour has received generally positive reviews among critics. IGN gave the game a score of 8.6/10 (a "great" rating). They praised the game's learning curve, training options, large quantity of unlockables, and multiplayer, but criticized the map in Castle Club, saying it was "confusing". [1] Joystiq gave 3 stars out of 5, being more critical, while praising the basic gameplay and online options, criticizing the Castle Club for being sparse and dispensable and noting the safe, conservative approach to the game such as the uninspired environments. [2] Thomas Whitehead of Nintendo Life compared Mario Golf: Word Tour favorably to Mario Tennis Open . He praised the attention to detail that gives the game its charm, such as in Castle Club as well as its reasonable skill curve that allows both novice and expert players to enjoy the game. He gave the game a score of 9/10. [3] The game was scored 83% by Official Nintendo Magazine. [4] Mario Golf: World Tour currently averages a score of 78 out of a possible 100 on Metacritic. [5] Overall, the game was praised for its gameplay and graphics, but criticized for the lack of content in the Castle Club and, by some reviewers, for being too safe.

Pre-release and unused content [ ]

In some pre-release screenshots, the animations for " Birdie " or "Bogey" had orange circles and letters, whereas in the final game, they're blue. The letters and wording was also different in the final version, with different colors, fonts and sizes. Many holes where different, either moved or changed completely. Dark transparent boxes were also added behind the wording of certain course information, and some things were moved to different parts of the screen.

Gallery [ ]

• Cheep Cheep Lagoon and Koopa Park are the only courses whose greens do not have square designs; instead, they use a wavy design and a hexagonal design respectively.
• The course (and mode) music for this game continues after shots on the green and post-hole animations, unlike in the previous games, where the music restarts when entering a new hole (there even being a tune for hole overviews).

NO ROSALINA WHAT ON EARTH ??????!!!!!!!! WHY ON EARTH PARATROOPER. im disappointed -_-

IKR? This year should be about her.

Hopefully there’ll be an update that’ll include Rosalina.

its sad.like cmon I thought she will be everywhere now that she is in smash (yes!!!) and 3d world.

well luma was playable in Mario tennis so they could have included her but oh well. galaxy 3 will still come in the future no doubt.

Galaxy 3 wont happen. Each system has its own type of Mario, Galaxy was the Wii only.

I agree, galaxy is great but they really outdid them self on what is a good 3d Mario, they wouldn’t top it, and HD may compliment the game but it wouldn’t be remembered.

I think Galaxy 3 will happen, because it is a system seller now with it’s great recognition and Nintendo knows this. They’ll make a Galaxy 3 on the Wii U to sell units.

It only makes sense.

I’d rather have a HD remake with both games

They might do that because they did it with Mario Tennis Open and added colored Yoshi’s and Metal Mario

Haha I read it and thought “Yessss Paratroopa now it’s worth it!”

3d$hOV€LW@R€

Same for Kinect and all of its half-assed gimmick garbage.

This game is more than worth it.

at least microsoft didn’t force the gimmick on you troats like nintendo did with the gamepad.

Kinect has to be with X1 though…..

U have to buy Weak U with Kiddy tablett toy that nobody wants #NintendfagExposed#Facts#RealTalk#NintendodeadConfirmedRoflLOLJAJAJAJJA

ohh i forgot about that. at least it a better gimmick than wii u gamepad in many ways.

Not really at least the gamepad is an actual controller and with most games it just displays a map which is very useful combined with the touch screen

The gamepad is a fucking joke just like Segtendo they stuck in the past now they are irrelevant and next they fucking die #WiuiHasNoVoiceChat#LastGenConfirmed#WiiudeadConfirmed#PleaseUnderstand

You know you just sound like a trolling asshole and no-one here is taking you seriously so why don’t you just run back into you’re cave and play COD 57 or better yet go get a life

it funny how nintendo expets people to buy all the separate paryts of wii u will microsoft gives you everything in packet. if nintendo created the wii u head set why are they not using it in games. i didn’t they make party chat for wii . wii u= a barebone ps3

Even though in terms of power it’s better than the PS3 and what parts do they expect you to buy other than the wii remotes which I mean who doesn’t have a wii remote

wii u headsets, a wii u pro controler, wii ethernet port.

U have to buy more Memory too if 32gb is not enough for downloads and so on.

Did you obviously forget the 360 that did the same shit because its shitty hardware is missing features? Wifi adapters, keyboard attachment for 360 controller, headsets, hard drives, heatsink fans, the list keeps going.

And BTW, got em. B3 Better luck next time loser.

wii u does have party chat.

no it doesn’t.

Damage Control Fraud Exposed#NintendoMad

#stopusinghashtags #getalife #stop

Oh look. Its another bitch we trying so hard not to hate..not really.

You’re just another bitch riding the small hate dick. How’s the ride going you big baby? Feels weird doesn’t it?

Gamepad being a joke? Well I hope you enjoy your Vita and Smartglass which is a cheap ass barebone imitation like Move was to Wii Remote and Kinect to..everything else from it that makes itself more relevant than Kinect.

and you don’t have an xbone…

Dumbass motherfucker, of course Microsoft did exactly that with Kinect as means to compete Wii’s Motion control same for PSMove which BOTH KINECT & MOVE FAILED and now with Xbox One making the fucking console $100 more than PS4 with that POS NSA Spycam toy alone which also is whats holding Xbox One back.

Grow that BS “Nintendo is gimmick” cancer out of your fucking childish skull. Gamepad is what’s needed for the console. It may sound a bit forced, maybe unneeded but it has its uses. Kinect does not have any uses nor even fucking works and yes I have one in my own house for my little sister to play Sonic Free Riders and guess what. That POS doesn’t work accurately nor was ever needed to play any Xbox game period.

So tell me again which is a forced gimmick thats never needed and failing? Exactly. You ain’t got shit to say to back up that retarded fanboy nonsense.

microsoft didn’t sacrifice the kinnect over console specs while nintendo downgraded wii u specs, didn’t add more memory to hard drive, didn’t add a head set or ethernet port.

uhh have read the xbox one stories lately, I don’t care for console power but they have sacrifice power for otherthings

Shut up, narutard. Atleast Nintendo doesn’t have a creeper status like the Kinect, checking out your penis through your pants. Like a creeper, it should blow itself like the lame box it is.

Damage control 101. Nice try Sasori, your bullshit was detected before you typed.

Gamepad is awesome though…

… HAHAHAHA oh you’re such a failure XD

Microsoft pretty much FORCES you to buy the kinect with the Xbox Done… and it’s a far worse gimmick, at least the Wii U Gamepad actually has a use XD

he, Birdo, birdy

Wait they didn’t put rosalina in a recent mario game

what lame roster. i expected more like rosalina,toadlett,baby mario and more. no buy for me i guess. i just keep saving up money for a refirbished xbox 360 which is about $130 and i will buy 10 games with it. i have about $85.35 saved towards me xbox 360 and 10 games.

its good to get an xbox 360 or ps3 to not miss out on third party games.

http://www.generadormemes.com/media/created/blscgo.jpg

1000000000+ points for best comment ever. XD

the wiiu is last gen confirmed #NintendoExposedAgain

this is for 3ds you troll.

#NintendoMadConfirmed

X is indeed Real open world graphics

graphics dont matter-Nintendrones2013-2014

before wii u launched they were hyped to see wii u specs and going atround every where saying wii u is next gen. now adays they say graphics dont matter because the discoved wii u specs are ladt gen.

Graphics didn’t ever matter except for the people that only play FPS games that don’t even show their good gaphics because the only colours are grey and brown

Its not the specs that suck tiat 3rd parties wanna feed you that easy weak BS. Its because Wii U specs are customized and different from developer’s slow understanding which is why you hear people bitching about how “hard” it is to port games over.

*FarSight Studios recently talking shit about Wii U out of frustration was mainly because that retarded amatuer programmer can’t make a simple pinball video game work on Wii U so its all on him.

* Bedsetha – Claiming the CPU was too weak upon quick glance in Wii U’s early built but failed to fully care about experimenting and utilizing other components like its GPGPU which is suppose to handle more processing task than CPU/GPU combined. But knowing Bedsetha, they can’t make one damn video game without being infested with dozens of game breaking glitches so their overlooked opinions don’t matter.

EA – Oh fuck them either way. Everyone with common sense knows its all about Nintendo intelligently saying NO to that fucking cancer Origin which is SPYWARE & ILLEGAL and that when EA got an extreme case of butthurt and started the whole Anti-Nintendo parade.

Guys behind Sniper V2 Wii U Port- Their half-melted brains honestly think that stripping 80 percent of the game’s features and selling a 2 year old game at full price without those features is gonna sell? And yet have the complete fucked up nerve to say it didn’t sell because blah blah Nintendo fans don’t buy 3rd party blah blah. That scene was just so laughable it hurts and sickens my guts.

Ubisoft – Another company of hypocritical idiots. Thinking Rayman Legends won’t sell or help push Wii U units forward was not only their dumbass hypothesis proven wrong with another dumb decision to launch PS3/360 ports too close to GTA5, but because of that dick move it help cost both Nintendo’s 1st year launch window and Rayman on those other platforms lost sales as well.

See where I’m getting at? The third parties have lost their fucking ways and minds, trapped in their fantasized notions that the 3rd party Nintendo support doesn’t exists yet they intentionally make crap after crap to make sure humanity swallows that obvious lie up so easily like a fish because its now possible to fool the masses who’s lacking mind and soul now so they can mindlessly line them up to take from their pockets by satisfying their sole illusionary crave of high end graphics in a cable box or a Blu Ray player.

Gaming as we all know it is fucked and about to be more fucked in a not too distant future.

I agree, but also wanna add that Nintendo are making errors all over also. Where’s a proper Mario adventure game, for example.

Learn how to spell, Narutard.

You must have no life outside of the internet seeing how you keep bringing that up.. here’s one for you then :3

nintendo fanboys dont understand what real next gen graphics are. they just say graphics dont matter

@sasorideidaraobi http://www.generadormemes.com/media/created/blscgo.jpg

Graphics do matter somewhat but they don’t make a game, a great example of that is something like minecraft which while it looks meh, the gameplay is what people play for, the experience not the graphics plus X is gorgeous and anyone that tries to deny that is clearly blind

even some ps3 games look better x. the graphics dont impress me. hopefully they improve on graphics.

Yeah. Only some smartass and whats the last good looking PS3 game? COD4?

Its not that graphics don’t matter fucktard. The problem is that fanboy morons like you only believe and worship edge bleeding graphics, which still sucks comapre to PC’s top capabilities, to be the only means and importance of gameplay and enjoying games in general which obviously its not. Visuals stlye presentation is a secondary thing next to gameplay.

Would you rather waste $60-150 on the most prettiest Holltwood-like interactive CGI with cliche story and shit gameplay execution or a decent looking game that’s actually fun where you can pick up and enjoy without having to worry about everything else that’s meaningless like little graphic nippicking?

Plenty of PS4 games look shit

This is a 3DS game you side widing fucktard.

Good luck with that, None of us really care

Why buy a fucking used Xbox 360 when the 3DS is the best selling handhold system out there. What games are you going to buy for it? COD? Get a life and play a real classic Mario game.

Oh so you have a 3DS, Narutard? You’re such a hypocrite! Go play your lame box 360 or your Xbox Done. Don’t disgrace Nintendo or this site ever again.

still getting the demo :)

No Plum? Da fuq.

Again with the lack of a WarioWare newcomer? Then again, Nintendo always ride on Yoshi’s Island and Donkey Kong Country’s dicks when it comes to most Mario spinoffs.

yes! toad is playable. i was upset he wasn’t playable in mario tennis 3ds

No Toadette!?! (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻

Why are there Nintendo hating trolling idiots

Because they don’t have a life and they are just jealous because the Wii U owns PS4 and Xbox One. Why don’t all the haters crawl underneath a hole and play your COD on a piece of shit you call a system.

I wish they added the Kremlings, those guys need more attention, I also wish they added Cranky Kong, Dixie Kong, and Rosalina

How cool would it be if they added professional golfers like Tiger Woods?

Thanks for listing all unlockable characters and destroying the element of surprise! And why is the word “unlockable” always underlined when I write it, like it’s spelled wrong?

This is yet another series that would be cool to have an all-star cast. And again I must say, I sure hope Nintendo is working on a Wii U version as well. It would be a real shame if this is all we get for several more years.

No Rosalina = no buy

Mario Golf: World Tour

• Nintendo 3DS eShop
• Nintendo 3DS

Mario Golf comes to 3DS and brings with it the return of the RPG-style singleplayer mode and the series debut for online multiplayer.

Summary short summary describing this game..

No recent wiki edits to this page.

Mario Golf: World Tour brings the classic Camelot-developed Mario Sports game to the 3DS for the first time. World Tour is the fifth game in the series with online play making its series debut. World Tour was originally supposed to release in the summer of 2013, but has since been delayed until May 2nd, 2014.

Singleplayer

Castle club.

In this mode, players go through various tournaments with their Mii character similar to the story mode in previous Mario Golf games. Players can earn coins to spend on new gear that will affect their Mii's stats reminiscent of the Mii customization in Mario Tennis Open.

Quick Round

In Quick Round, players can pick any available character to their liking or use their customized Mii to play in various modes such as Single Play, Match Play, Speed Golf, and Point Play. Coins can be earned in this mode

Ring Master

Players try to collect all the rings in a course.

Star Coin Collector

Players collect Star Coins.

Point Challenge

The player will play with a limited set of clubs.

Multiplayer

Vs. (local).

In this competitive mode, up to four players face-off against each other locally. Of note here is that this mode is played simultaneously in real-time. There is no waiting. All players go through the courses at their own speed while seeing ghost shots off their competitors and on-screen indicators comparing their shot distances against the other players. Players can also send taunts to each other.

Tournaments

Mario Golf: World Tour is the first Mario Golf title with a robust online integration. A variety of options are available to players ranging from regional to global tournaments or leaderboard challenges. Players can rack up coins by winning games but they'll also be rewarded with new gear simply for entering events.

The community feature from Mario Kart 7 returns for this game, letting players create unique communities and customize their desired rule sets for their own tournaments. These can either be private or open to anyone.

Pick a character from the roster and play through a regional 18-hole event.

Regional Tournaments

These events offer various challenges for different handicaps. Players use their Mii characters.

Worldwide Tournaments

A global challenge. Players use their Mii character.

Callaway Tournaments

In the Castle Club, players can enter special Callaway Tournaments that potentially yield prizes in the form of Callaway-themed items for their Mii characters. This ties into real-world sponsorship by Callaway Golf who partnered with Nintendo for these special tournaments.

Character Roster

• Donkey Kong
• Toad (unlockable)
• Paratroopa (unlockable)
• Kamek (unlockable)
• Birdo (unlockable)
• Toadette (DLC, Mushroom Pack)
• Nabbit (DLC, Flower Pack)
• Rosalina (DLC; Star Pack)
• Gold Mario (DLC, Season Pass/Three-Pack Set)
• Forest Course
• Seaside Course
• Mountain Course
• Cheep Cheep Lagoon
• Wiggler Park
• Yoshi Lake (notably themed after the yet-to-be released game Yarn Yoshi )
• Peach Gardens
• Bowser's Castle
• Sky Island Course

Add-On Content

The previously mentioned delay of the title is speculated to have been more of a strategic nature instead of one necessitated by development needs. This explains itself in the fact that Mario Golf: World Tour offers a substantial amount of additional download content that almost doubles the size of the game. Camelot supposedly used the extra time to create these additional courses and characters for the game. The three add-on packs offer an additional 108 holes across six new courses on top of the ten courses with 126 holes present in the base game.

Season Pass & Gold Mario

Mario Golf: World Tour is the first Nintendo game to offer a "season pass" for its three add-on content packs. Those who purchase the season pass (or Three Pack, in Europe) will receive the three add-ons at a reduced price while also getting an additional playable character in the form of Gold Mario who has a special Golden Flower shot that gains the player one coin for every yard it travels. Gold Mario will also unlock for players who have purchased all packs separately once they've all become available while Season Pass buyers will be able to use him right away.

Mushroom Pack

New character:

New courses:

Toad Highlands (18 holes) - Toad Highlands from Mario Golf (N64)

Koopa Park (18 holes) - Koopa Park from Mario Golf (N64)

Flower Pack

Layer-Cake Desert (18 holes) - redesigned version of Shy Guy Desert from Mario Golf (N64) themed after NSMBU

Sparkling Waters (18 holes) - redesigned version of Yoshi's Island from Mario Golf (N64) themed after NSMBU

New character :

Mario's Star (18 holes) - Mario's Star from Mario Golf (N64) now with a Super Mario Galaxy theme

Rock-Candy Mines (18 holes) - redesigned version of Boo Valley from Mario Golf (N64) themed after NSMBU

Free-Trial Course Pack

Players interested in the DLC packs can even try before they buy. A special Trial Tournament that samples courses from the add-on packs is available to anyone free of charge so they can get an idea whether or not the extra content is worth purchasing.

Mario Golf: World Tour Review

Come out swinging..

Mario Golf: World Tour is a fine game overall, with lots of ways to play and a challenges that reward skill, but what makes it great is how smoothly its levels progress you from beginner to unstoppable golfing machine. This sense of progression, paired with lots of content and smart multiplayer options, make it a worthwhile way to spend your time.

Hitting a ball in Mario Golf is as easy or as difficult as you want it to be, though it does reward those who take the more skillful route. You can line up the ball normally and just hit for power, or you can switch to the manual mode, which lets you add various spins to pull off fancy shots. Here, Mario Golf strikes an excellent balance of risk and reward. Putting backspin onto a ball so it will roll backwards toward the hole feels great when you pull it off, but it’s also easier to miss the “sweet spot.” Poor judgment can send your ball zooming into a sand pit or reeling backwards away from the hole, and learning those nuances comes with training as well as raw play time.

Mario Golf steadily ramps up in difficulty, but it intelligently teaches you new skills the whole time. By the end of the third course I was avoiding cacti, adding spin to my swings, and taking advantage of the wind to nail my shots. It felt great. There is always challenge, but there’s success and learning alongside it. Each match played also unlocks a new golf accessory in the store, so you can customize your golfer with new clubs and threads. Unfortunately, many of these items share identical stats, and differ only in how they look. It can also be difficult to find the store, or anywhere else, really, because the map is bare and unmarked.

After finishing the campaign, there are plenty of additional challenge maps to unlock. Finding them is a bit tricky because they’re located in a separate set of menus, even though they directly tie-in with the main map area. But once you do, Mario Golf opens up into a new kind of game that’s focused on trick shots. Collect all the coins on a course, send the ball through all the rings, and so on. It's another thing to think about instead of just getting the ball to the hole.

The courses also introduce items that affect how your golf ball travels. The Bullet Bill power-up sends your ball racing forward in a straight line. Another one sends your ball exploding upward, which is useful for nabbing coins. Just when you think you’ve mastered the game, it adds new ways to play. And the rewards for these challenges are new themed maps, like a Princess Peach course, or an underwater course with water physics.

Plus, before competing in any of the three main course championships, I was able to take a practice round and earn a handicap for myself. It’s a great way to test the waters, and as you improve, your handicap will change to match until, eventually, points are actually being added to your score because you’re just too good. This system even makes practice feel rewarding and worthwhile, instead of something you just do until you’re ready for the real tournament.

Mario Golf’s multiplayer modes are awesome, and they’re a great way to keep improving after completing the main courses. There’s the traditional competition to earn the lowest score, and one mode has you racing to complete three holes in the shortest time. It’s great, because with all the variables you’re used to dealing with in golf, doing things quickly is something I’d never had to consider.

You don’t have to be a hardcore golf fan to get hooked on Mario Golf: World Tour. It rewards good play, gives plenty to do, and is a great teacher. Its incremental approach to challenge kept me coming back to test myself, and the post-game challenges and multiplayer modes inspired me to play in new ways even after I thought I was a pro.

'Mario Golf: World Tour' Review

'Mario Golf: World Tour' has hit the links in hopes of appeasing eager golf fans. Read our review to see if it's a hole-in-one for 3DS owners.

There aren't many sports that Mario and his friends haven't tackled by now, but each outing seems to rarely disappoint when it comes down to core gameplay. Mario Golf , however, is a franchise that's often provided users with a copious amount of depth whenever it's hit the green on a Nintendo portable, and the arrival of Mario Golf: World Tour maintains those aspirations by unleashing an easy pick up and play style, and a myriad of content.

One of the more in-depth aspects of Mario's latest outing is the single-player campaign, Castle Club, which will transform even the most naive of golfers into seasoned pros. The main campaign throws players into the role of a rookie (represented by their Mii), tasked with climbing the ranks in the hopes of besting iconic Nintendo characters from the Mushroom Kingdom. There are three main 18-hole courses on which the bulk of the action will take place, with several challenge holes from the game's other courses popping up throughout.

While the RPG-esque elements that made past portable installments so enjoyable don't make a return, there is a means for players to alter the stats of their unique Mii characters. By unlocking equipment, users are able to deck out their avatars with stylish garb to enhance different aspects of their golf game. Unlocking items is random and happens after the completion of many of the events (win or lose), but they must be purchased from the shop with coins that have been earned whilst playing World Tour .

One of the most enjoyable portions of Mario Golf: World Tour is unlocking new content, whether earning new courses to play on, equipment and costumes, or entirely new golfers. The sheer amount of content, coupled with the effort that needs to be put in to access it, equates to something that can and will engage players' inner completionist. Despite the ample amount of collectibles helping to convince players to keep coming back, the gameplay is just as stimulating as the need to unlock the next level of equipment.

The mechanics in the Mario Golf series have largely remained the same, and its implementation in the latest 3DS iteration is no exception. Working against hazards and the ever-changing wind that sweeps across the course takes some getting use to, but the game pushes players to work with the wind, add backspin to their shots, and play off of various obstacles from the world of Mario. Learning how to play efficiently comes quickly, and players can find themselves teeing off with accuracy before long.

The tried and true power meter is far from a bad way to determine the strength of a shot, but the gameplay isn't without a few faults. The largest issue that constantly arose was the positioning of the camera during a putt. A majority of the time the hole is visible and players can make the appropriate adjustments to their swing, but once in a while the camera will hover above the hole and effectively place the target out of the line of sight. Fortunately, it's possible to pivot the in-game camera utilizing the 3DS' gyroscopic capabilities - but it's not possible to alter the shot while doing so, making it a major annoyance.

After tearing through the campaign, those looking for some single player action have an ample amount of content at their disposal. A grand total of 10 courses (combining to create a total of 126 holes) are available for standard play against CPUs or other friends with the game, and each does a good job at mixing up the aesthetic and challenge that accompanies every hole. For example, the Forest Course plays out like a standard course, albeit very Super Mario -inspired in appearance, while another course like Cheep Cheep Lagoon takes place entirely underwater, with altered physics to match.

Mario Golf: World Tour is a great addition to the iconic plumber's spin-off series. A wonky camera during occasional putting sessions will come to annoy those looking to ace courses, but it's something that can be overlooked when taking into consideration just how much fun it actually is to play. World Tour looks great, plays well, and gives gamers a great title to take with them wherever they may go. Camelot and Nintendo have done a solid job on a title that's sure to appeal to more than just golf fans, and while it may not be a hole-in-one, it definitely comes in under par.

Mario Golf: World Tour swings onto store shelves on May 2, 2014 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.

Mario Golf: World Tour DLC and Season Pass outlined

Mario Golf: World Tour comes with 10 courses and 126 holes and players will have the option to expand the game by purchasing up to 108 additional holes and additional Mushroom Kingdom golfers through DLC.

The DLC will be released in three separate packs: the Mushroom Pack launching on May 2 alongside the game; the Flower Pack launching later in May and the Star Pack launching in June.

Each pack includes two new 18-hole courses and a new playable character. Players will receive Toadette with the Mushroom Pack, Nabbit with the Flower Pack and Rosalina with the Star Pack.

“We’re letting fans expand their experience with Mario Golf: World Tour,” said Scott Moffitt, NoA’s executive VP of Sales & Marketing. “Some players might be content hitting the links on the numerous courses already included with the game, while others will appreciate the option of being able to add to their fairway fun with new courses and characters.”

Each pack will be available for $5.99 from Toad’s Booth, which can be found in the main menu of the game.

Mario Golf: World Tour owners can buy the Season Pass for $14.99 starting May 2. Season Pass holders will get access to each new pack as it becomes available, and will receive a special bonus of Gold Mario as a playable character at the time of purchase.

Gold Mario has a special Golden Flower shot that gains coins for every yard it travels. For those who purchase all three packs individually, Gold Mario will also be available once all packs have been released.

Nintendo will also offer Trial Tournaments for consumers interested in trying out a sample of the downloadable courses, and those who download the Trial Pack will be able to participate in these online tournaments.
