The player was granted the ability to control his or her character more freely. This game mode allowed much character interaction and environmental exploration, making this game have a slightly more detailed story than those in the rest of the [[Mario Golf (series)|series]]. The player could also [[Level Up]], allowing characters to be more successful at golfing. | ||
==New features== | |||
''Mario Golf'' for the Game Boy Color has the ability to link with ''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64. With the use of the [[Transfer Pak]], the player can transfer data from one version of ''Mario Golf'' to the other. By doing so, the player can play as characters specifically in the Nintendo 64 installment on their Game Boy Color installment of ''Mario Golf''. | |||
The game also features a multi-player mode (unavailable in the Nintendo 3DS emulation), allowing separate players to interact in one game. It also features a special free-play mode for players interested in the golfing portion of the game; this gaming mode has no effect on the main quest. | |||
