'''''Mario Golf''''' is the fourth installment of the ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' series, and is the first developed by [[Camelot Software Planning]]. It was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] in 1999. Though several sports games featured ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters in the past, ''Mario Golf'' is considered the first game in the modern "Mario Sports" line. It would be followed by several titles encompassing a variety of sports. Its [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color counterpart]] was released later that same year. | |||
The game was re-released for the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]] in 2008 and the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in 2015, and | The game was re-released for the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]] in 2008 and the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in 2015, and was released on [[Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online]] in April 2022. | ||

As each of them make their shots, their names appear on screen. They are each complimented for their amazing shots, as they each try to make a hole in one. Later, as the four are fetching their balls, Mario already spots his ball. Peach then calls Mario over to see if the ball in front of her is hers. Mario checks to see, but the ball actually belongs to Yoshi (or Donkey Kong). Another ball suddenly zooms in, and the ball turns out to be Baby Mario's. Yoshi carries Baby Mario on his back (or Donkey Kong would carry Baby Mario), as their names appear on screen, surprising Mario and Peach, who laugh it off. Luigi then looks for his ball, but soon spots it, while spotting Toad with an O.B flag in the process. Luigi slaps his face, and shrugs, not knowing that Mario, Peach, and Plum are standing around him, laughing. Lakitu then flies by, as the game's logo appears on screen. | ||

In this game, the golf ball makes a different sound when it bounces on the green than when it bounces on the fairway.

==Regional differences== | |||
*The international version's character select screen was changed to include Metal Mario, who is not present in the Japanese version. The European version also reordered the characters. | |||
*During gameplay, the Japanese version does not have the power indicator (leftmost gray bar) in the Power Meter. It was added in the US and European versions. In addition, the wind display was moved to the left slightly in the international versions and its [[font]] was changed to be more noticeable. | |||
*The European version uses a different song for the cutscene that plays during the intro. Oddly, the original song is still present on the cartridge, albeit unused. | |||
