'''''Mario Golf: World Tour''''' is a sport title for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It is the fifth installment of the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]], and the third handheld instalment in the series. The game also features gyroscope support and Wi-Fi capabilities.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSXyo0z6LKA&feature=youtu.be&a]</ref>

==Gameplay==
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 Shot]]s, allows players to hit shots with different effects via items. These include burning through trees with a [[Fire Flower]], creating [[Jump Block]]s 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 [[? Block]]s on the course, although players sometimes start holes with items.

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

===Castle Club===
Castle Club is a story mode where the player's [[Mii]] tackles different tournaments (similar to the story modes from previous handheld ''Mario Golf'' games). Using [[coin]]s, the player's Mii is able to buy equipment that will affect its stats, such as drive distance and shot trajectory, similar to the Mii customization feature in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''.

===Mario Golf===
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 the player to take on a round against the scorecard, the clock, or a computer opponent (Match Play only), 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, as well as the number of holes (3, 6, 9, or 18), wind strength, whether to use items, and more.

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

=====Match Play=====
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 courses again until someone wins. The player chooses the computer's skill level: Novice, Intermediate, Expert, Semipro (unlocked by earning 90 Star Coins in Challenge mode), or Pro (unlockable).

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

=====Point Tourney=====
Scored via a modified version of the [[wikipedia:Stableford|Stableford scoring system]]. The player is awarded 8 points for an albatross or a hole in one, 5 for an eagle, 3 for a birdie, 2 for a par, and 1 for a bogey. A double bogey or worse scores zero.

=====Challenges=====
Each of the game's courses (including DLC courses) has 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:
:'''Star Coin Collector''' - A Star (or Moon) Coin is placed somewhere on a hole. The player must hit the coin with the ball, then complete the hole in par or better.
:'''Ring Master''' - Multiple rings are placed around the hole. The player must hit the ball through all of the rings, then complete the hole in par or better.
:'''100 Coins''' - A three-hole challenge. Coins are placed around each hole. The player is given a number of shots equal to the hole's par minus two, and attempts to hit the ball into 100 of them over the course of the three holes.
:'''Score Attack''' - The player must complete nine holes of stroke play, and match or beat the given target score.
:'''Character Match''' - A nine-hole match play competition against a Mushroom Kingdom character. Winning this match also unlocks the star version of that character for all play modes.
:'''Time Attack''' - The player must complete three holes within the given time limit.
:'''Point Challenge''' - A three-hole challenge. On each hole, Club Slots are spun, which limits the player to no more than three clubs (plus a putter) for the duration of the hole unless the player lines up three Stars on the slots, in which case they will have all of their clubs available. Point Tourney scoring applies, and the player must earn at least the given target number of points within the three holes.
:'''One-On, One-Putt Challenge''' - Sky Island only. If a tee shot misses the green, the challenge is failed. If a birdie putt is missed, the challenge is failed. To succeed, the player must successfully complete nine holes.

A complete list of the challenges is below. Differences between the Star and Moon Coin challenges are <span class=explain title="">underlined</span>. Hovering over one will reveal the Moon Coin version.

====Vs.====
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.

====Tournaments====
''Mario Golf: World Tour'' also features pre-made tournaments made by [[Nintendo]]. Winners of tournaments receive coins to buy gear from the Toad Shop. When a new tournament is about to begin, the player will receive Spotpass notifications. Players can also create their own private tournaments, including most of the customization options available for the Single Player mode. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callaway_Golf_Company| Callaway Golf] has also teamed up with Nintendo to produce Callaway-based tournaments, which will give the players sponsored Callaway Gear for the [[Mii]] to equip.<ref>http://mariogolf.nintendo.com/tournaments/</ref> Below is a table of some of the current confirmed tournaments:

==Demo==
On the 17th of April, 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 fifteen uses (ten for the European 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 (golf course)|Peach Gardens]], and the Ring Master mode on hole 14 of [[Mountain Course]]. The only playable characters available are [[Mario]], [[Peach]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Bowser]].
