|align="left"|"''Mario Golf: Advance Tour makes good on the legacy of Mario Golf games that have preceded it. The gameplay is easy to pick up, but it has enough depth and diversity to stay interesting, and there's a nice variety of both realistic and fantasy-themed courses to play on. Players who take their golf seriously may be put off by some of the game's outlandish obstacles and its playful aesthetic, but if these characteristics don't bother you, you'll be treated to the most accomplished game of golf to hit the Game Boy Advance.''"
|align="left"|"''All in all, Mario Golf is an excellent adaptation of the N64 title, and it's a Game Boy experience that stands well on its own. The music is even reflective of the N64's - it varies, depending on how well you're doing, and it's constant without being annoying. The only thing missing, audiowise, are the taunts, and frankly, you'll probably do just fine on your own.''"

|align="left"|"''With Mario Golf: Advance Tour, Camelot proves it has that shrewd appreciation of what keeps people coming back to the likes of Toadstool Tour, {{wp|Tiger Woods}} and the console Links - and also like those games it renders the sport with a degree of artistic licence. The result is a game that you can pick up and play, but won't necessarily be able to turn off and put down for several hours if you do, and the only drawbacks are that it sometimes looks a bit ropey, it doesn't quite manage to pull off the RPG idea completely, and the lack of a proper putting game detracts a little bit from the final few feet of every hole. But, in all honesty, if our [[Game Boy Advance#Game Boy Advance SP|SP]]'s battery hadn't run down last night and the power cable hadn't proved elusive, we might have sat up in bed playing it until we had piranha plants burnt into our retinas. As it is, we're up at dawn to try and convince you to buy it. Well, if you want portable golf, just do. Ho-kay?''"

==Trivia==
[[File:MGAT Albatross misspelling.png|thumb|"Albatross" misspelled]]
*When the player prepares to putt for an [[List of golfing terms#Albatross|albatross]], the "Albatross Putt" text spells "albatross" as "albatoross".
*The BGMs played during the chance for getting a Par (or higher) and Bogey (or lower) are swapped compared when they are played in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.
*Wario and Waluigi's voices are played incorrectly when selecting them in the character menu. Wario uses Waluigi's voice and vice-versa.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4UALgsu14M&t=150s|timestamp=02:30|title=''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'': All Character Stats, Selections, and Nice Shot Animations|author=ShadowMario3|date=June 22, 2021|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref>
*Peach, Wario, and Waluigi all strike poses from a certain frame shot of their losing animations from ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' as their selection image. Peach and Wario use a frame from their bogey animations, and Waluigi uses his double bogey's (and lower).
