I love to golf but I disliked this game. It was very boring and the players drives were very short,and the computer was almost impossible to beat. I can't understand how this game got such good ratings.

This game is great fun for one player. They've created a whole golf world to walk around in where you can talk to people, practice, accept challenges, and walk to the different courses. However, they don't allow you to play two player games on one gameboy. The only motivation I can see for this is that they wanted to force people to buy another copy of the game to play with a gamelink. This is a shameful ploy if true or at least a careless oversite. There is no reason that a golf game should require two gameboys for two players as both players do not need to see the screen at once. If I had known this before I bought it I would have got tiger woods golf instead. If your only interested in one player though it is a lot of fun.

Good, but hard near the end

This game has a lot of good parts. The graphics are excellent, the music is pretty good (though it does get a little annoying after a while, and the gameplay is relly good. There are plenty of "easter eggs" such as hidden power up mushrooms, and the learning curve is not too steep. The only complaint I would have is theat the last tounament is a little too hard for most people (my friend had to try 25 times probably before he beat it, and I still haven't beat it yet. This game is slightly more realistic than the N64 version, but this is not a bad thing. My final review... buy this game if you like other golf/sports games.

it's a great game

Mario golf is a great game. You can play hours with it. The only thing that's bad about it is that the last two courses are pretty hard. But overall it's good game. Also when you're don't like golf you like this game. I think that everybody who has a gameboy color should have this game!!

Addictive, but a little too easy

Mario Golf is a good RPG/sports game. The basic premise is to develop your golf-playing character, win four tournaments and beat 6 golfers in matchplay (including Mario - "the greatest golfer of all time"). You can move around the clubhouse, and other locations, talking to other players who provide you with tips to develop your game. As you become more experienced, your character improves - s/he is able to hit further, and more accurately.

The game is very easy to pick up and get going with. Controls are reasonably intuitive, and the first couple of tournaments and golfers are really easy. The game is pretty addictive, but the only letdown is that while the last couple of courses are comparatively difficult, they are still a little too easy to complete (at least for a 20-something gamer).

However, it is still quite re-playable, and definitely one of the better sports games on GBC.

Impressive graphics, great gameplay

If you have a Game Boy Color, be sure to pick up this game. The graphics are the best I've seen on Game Boy. As for the gameplay, it is very easy to get started, although it offers a lot of challenge. A great feature is the ability to create a character, and from there you earn experience by winning matches and tournaments. These points can be used to improve the skills of your player. I would recommend this to anyone!

Mario Golf for GBC is the bomb diggity!

Mario Golf, unlike many Gameboy games, has that distinct pick-up-and-play capability along with the challenge of the best RPG. The graphics are astounding for GBC, and any Gameboy game with the ability to pack 5 courses into one game must be a winner. So we have winning graphics, along with killer play control. There is the typical power meter bar, and menu selections are simple. Finally, we reach the game design. It plays like a golf RPG, where by beating mini-games and placing in tournaments one increases drive, direction of shot, meet area, and control. It is a fun and challenging scenario that has endless possibilities. And unlike most RPGs, the replay value is great! Finally, the sounzd includes recurring Mairo themes as well as new, interesting music. Overall, this game is a definite winner!

The Most Addictive Portable Game Ever!

Mario Golf for the Color Gameboy is a fantastic game. This cartridge, the size of a Saltine cracker, packs more punch and fun than games written to run on machines hundreds of times more powerful than the simple Gameboy Color console.

I purchased this game on a business trip in Atlanta, brought it on the plane with me, and had the quickest six-hour trip of my life back to San Francisco thanks to Mario Golf. This game is amazingly addictive, easy to learn, fun to play, and has an excellent graphical makeover to boot.

The game incorporates a small bit of role-playing into the world of a golf as you spend your time in between golf tournaments wandering around the various country clubs. There you can interact with other golfers, play mini-games, and enhance your skills.

The key to becoming a better golfer in Mario Golf involves gaining experience points which in turn allow you to gain levels, which then award you points you can attribute to your skills. Your ultimate goal is to win all of the tournaments and beat the four "club pros" in a singles match. After accomplishing that, you will be able to visit the land of Mario and play against him on his rather unique course.

All in all, this game is a blast and provides endless fun for almost anyone.

Entertaining and Fun!

Mario Golf, is an excellent Game that is available for both N64 and Game Boy Color. My family has both formats. We have 4 Color game Boys, 4 Mario Golfs and one N64. Because there are 4 children, we have a Game Boy Link and we link to each other and play! It's great the big kids play each other while the small ones duke it out on Planes, road trips or even on the couch. Mario Golf is a MUSt for all Game Boy Color owners.
