The '''''Mario Golf''''' series is a video game series primarily developed by [[Camelot Software Planning]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It stars [[Mario]] and other characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] participating in golfing events.

System]] had two different versions, one starring Mario and the other starring a [[lady golfer]]. The series' namesake [[Nintendo 64]] game, ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', was released in 1999, and it is often misconceived as the first game of the series, especially in the {{iw|wikipedia|Western world}}. Aside from an entirely different [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|handheld counterpart]], releases followed one game for both the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and the [[Game Boy Advance]], while the sixth installment was released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2014, and a [[Mario Golf: Super Rush|seventh installment]] was released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] in 2021. Some games in the series double as role-playing games, the single-player story modes in particular. | The '''''Mario Golf''''' series is a video game series primarily developed by [[Camelot Software Planning]] and published by [[Nintendo]].
