The Mario sports series has been somewhat of a mixed bag. Some of the games have been truly outstanding, others have been a disappointment. However, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour is truly one of the series' high points. The game is very simple to pick up, but some of the modes and courses take a large amount of skill to play.
I still consider beating the "one-on,one-putt" mode of the game as one of my greatest gaming achievements. In this mode you play through an 18-hole executive course. You have to hit your drive on to the green in one shot and then sink the putt in one stroke. One mistake and you are starting over. The amount of different modes in this game is amazing. You could spend days (which I did) just trying to beat all of the modes in this game.
This game was developed by Camelot, which also developed the soon to be released We Love Golf! for the Wii. Despite my love for Mario Golf I will be looking past We Love Golf! to Tiger Woods PGA Tour '09 All-Play. Tiger Woods is scheduled to feature one-to-one swing mechanics for a more realistic and intuitive golf game. This year's Tiger Woods will also feature online play for the first time on the Wii. Tiger Woods is currently scheduled to be released on August 26.
