Mario brings fun to golf with surprising elements
Golf? That's for posh people, many would say. Personally, golf doesn't appeal to me much either, but of course, when Mario takes the lead, it's a whole different story!
Golf is quite a complex game when you consider all the factors you need to take into account: the wind, the ball's position, the grass, you name it. However, in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, this is less of a concern, allowing you to actually play golf while not just focusing on ball placement and wind direction. It's not like these elements are completely irrelevant in the game, but you'll get the hang of them pretty quickly. Big plus!
But what I really enjoy about this game are the elements Nintendo incorporated. Chain Chomps and Piranha Plants that see your ball as a tasty snack, and warp pipes that transport you elsewhere. Sometimes closer to the hole, sometimes back. A delightful game where everything falls into place. The colors are as vibrant as we've come to expect from Nintendo, and the music is top-notch, those catchy Nintendo tunes that stick in your head. This game is definitely a must-try for anyone who loves Mario games!
