“Tee up with Mario and his friends!”

—Slogan

Mario Golf is the fourth installment of the 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 characters of the Super Mario franchise 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 Game Boy Color counterpart was released later that same year.

The game was re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console in 2008 and the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2015, and it was released on Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online in April 2022.

Introduction[edit]

Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Plum are making some shots on the golf course. As each of them make their shots, their names appear onscreen. 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.

Gameplay[edit]

Mario Golf is a golf game which combines largely traditional mechanics and gameplay devices with a presentation from the Super Mario universe, featuring the Super Mario franchise roster and hazards.

The basic gameplay uses the typical "sliding bar" mechanism of most golf video games, with several variables which must be anticipated, such as character attributes, wind strength and direction, rain, ball spin, and course topography. The gameplay modes include speed golf, ring shot, mini golf and skins match. The sun sets when the player gets to the last six holes of the main courses, in any mode.

Players can play most of the multiplayer modes with CPU players by selecting a character and pressing while holding down . However, Club Slots and Mini-Golf do not allow CPU players.

In this game, the golf ball makes a different sound when it bounces on the green than when it bounces on the fairway. In later games, both terrains produce the same sound for the ball.

Scores[edit]

Depending on how many strokes the player required to take to hit the ball into the hole, players receive a score and a name for the score. The following is a list of them, from best to worst scores:

Name	Image	Description
Hole-in-One		The player has sunk the ball in the hole with one stroke. It is the easiest to receive in Par 3 holes, though possible in Par 4 or 5 holes as well.
Albatross		The player has sunk the ball three below par. It is possible to receive only in Par 5 holes.
Eagle		The player has sunk the ball two below par. It is most common on Par 5 holes, although it is possible to get on some Par 4 holes.
Birdie		The player has sunk the ball one below par. It is the lowest score in tournament mode that gets the player birdie badges.
Par		The player has sunk the ball without taking any extra strokes or having less strokes.
Bogey or more		The player has sunk the ball above par. When players have scored worse than a Bogey, a number indicating the number of extra strokes taken is shown instead.

Game modes[edit]

Mario Golf features 10 game modes:

Tournament[edit]

Number of Players: 1

This mode consists of a tournament between the human player and 29 computer players in an 18-hole course (though the computer players aren't seen except in the leaderboards). Despite this, there are only 14 playable characters in this game. The CPU player names range from characters from franchises such as Super Mario to The Legend of Zelda to Star Fox, as well as the first names of real people, usually localisers and voice actors. The player's objective is to finish the tournament in the top three positions to earn a Trophy. The player earns the most Course Points when they finish a tournament in 1st place. Birdie Badges can also be earned by finishing a hole with Birdie or better. While selecting a tournament, Boo Classic is misspelled as "Boo Clasic". While continuing a hole on either the Yoshi Championship or the Boo Classic, their tournament names will also be swapped.

Get Character[edit]

Number of Players: 1

The player competes in a Match Game against another computer player. In this game, the player with the fewest strokes gets a point. However, if the player in the lead wins enough points that they would be mathematically ahead even after losing all remaining matches, the game will end early. If the game is tied after 18 holes, Sudden Death starts. If the player wins, they unlock that character.

Ring Shot[edit]

Number of Players: 1

The player must shoot the ball through all rings while finishing at par or better. If the player does not make par, they must restart the hole from the beginning. There are six Ring Shot holes for each of the six courses, making a total of 36 holes. A new course is unlocked in Ring Shot after completing 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 holes. If 30 holes are completed, Donkey Kong is unlocked as a playable character. One Power Shot is allowed for each hole.

Speed Golf[edit]

Wario beginning a round of Speed Golf

Number of Players: 1

The player must finish all 18 holes as fast as possible.

Stroke Play[edit]

Number of Players: 1-4 (CPU allowed)

A standard game of golf. The winner is the player with the fewest total strokes.

Mini-Golf[edit]

Number of Players: 1-4 (CPU not allowed)

Like Stroke Play, but in mini-golf courses. Despite the rules being the same, CPU characters cannot be played against. The player selects from two courses, and each hole is par 3. It has three settings: Green (green-themed with a normal ball speed), Slow (blue-themed with a low ball speed), and Fast (red-and-yellow-themed with a high ball speed). Luigi's Garden has the first nine holes looking like numbers 1 to 9 and the last nine holes looking like letters A to I. The first 17 holes of Peach's Castle look like the rest of the alphabet letters and Hole 18 resembles a question mark. In Training, Mini-Golf courses do not play the Training BGM and instead play their own.

Training[edit]

Driving Range logo.

Number of Players: 1

The player can play any course and hole, as well as change the weather settings. Driving Range is only available in this mode.

Match Play[edit]

Number of Players: 2 (CPU allowed)

Like Get Character, but with two players and there are no characters to be unlocked.

Skins Match[edit]

Number of Players: 2-4 (CPU allowed)

The winner of the hole gets a point. In a tie, the points are carried over. The winner is the one with the most points.

Club Slots[edit]

Number of Players: 2-4 (CPU not allowed)

Like Skins Match, but with randomized clubs (though the player can use the putter at any time). Despite the objective being the same, CPU players cannot participate.

Interactions with Mario Golf for Game Boy Color[edit]

Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64 has the ability to link and exchange data with Game Boy Color version of the same game. With the use of the Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak, the player can use the characters: Kid, Azalea, Sherry, and/or Joe from the Game Boy Color version to play through the Nintendo 64 version of Mario Golf. The unlockable characters from the Game Boy Color version: Putts, Grace, Tiny, and Gene are not transferrable.

Courses[edit]

There are eight courses plus a training range in the Nintendo 64 version of Mario Golf. They are:

1.	Toad Highlands
	Toad Tournament
2.	Koopa Park
	Koopa Cup
3.	Shy Guy Desert
	Shy Guy International
4.	Yoshi's Island
	Yoshi Championship
5.	Boo Valley
	Boo Clasic^[sic]
6.	Mario's Star
	Mario Open
A.	Luigi's Garden
B.	Peach's Castle

Reception[edit]

Mario Golf garnered generally favorable reviews. GameSpot describes the game as easy to play, by having simple features and by "removing the guesswork for gamers who are not familiar with the subtle nuances of golf" that may put off many players. IGN stated "When it comes to the intricacies that make golf the most loved and frustrating game on the planet, Mario Golf has it all. Challenging, but you will be drawn into it because of the nature of golf and your fear that the "little cartoon game" is mocking you".

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
N64	Aaron Boulding, IGN	8.3/10	"Mario Golf is fun, plain and simple. It's better than Waialea Country Club hands down, offering a much richer game of golf. While I eventually learned to tune out the cartoon-style characters and focus on the tougher parts of the game, it may be tough to reel-in those 19 year-olds like Nintendo wanted because it just doesn't look like a game they'd enjoy. That's too bad because there's plenty of fun underneath all of those layers. There are better sports games out there to be sure, but right now, Mario Golf should be the golfing game of choice."
N64	James Mielke, GameSpot	8.7/10	"Although Mario Golf is a little on the cutesy side, anyone who wants a great golf game need look no further. There really isn't much of a choice, even if there were, Mario Golf would likely be your best bet anyway. This is a top-quality golf game, despite the cartoony premise. Anyone who would turn a blind eye to Mario Golf because of its exterior qualities will be missing perhaps the best golf game on a console. With an extensive amount of options in either single-player or multiplayer, Mario Golf is the game that will keep on giving. It's not like golf games suffer from the need to update on a yearly basis, like, say, hockey games. Therefore, to say that this game has lasting power would be an understatement. While a true golf fanatic would certainly enjoy this, perhaps the most important thing is that it's user friendly enough to appeal to the masses. As far as golf games go, and as a game in general, Mario Golf comes highly recommended."

Sales[edit]

Mario Golf is the 37th best-selling game for the Nintendo 64, selling approximately 1.5 million copies worldwide - 650,000 copies each in North America and Japan, and 200,000 elsewhere - and it would later be re-released as a Nintendo 64 "Player's Choice" title.

References to other games[edit]

Super Mario Bros. - One of Bowser's alternate color schemes in Mario Golf is the green skin that Bowser had in his first appearance. A cover version of the overworld theme plays in Mario's Star and during part of the credits. A cover version of the underground theme is heard during the player's attempt to score a birdie.
Super Mario World - Yoshi's alternate color schemes in Mario Golf is the Red Yoshi, the Blue Yoshi, and the Yellow Yoshi. Also, one of Mario and Baby Mario's alternate color schemes in Mario Golf is Fire Mario's colors.
NES Open Tournament Golf - One of Peach's alternate color schemes in Mario Golf is her green dress and Daisy's blue dress.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - Yoshi's sound effects were taken from this game.
Super Mario 64 - Names of several characters in this game appear on the score Board, and many sound effects from this game such as camera change are used. Also Metal Mario is playable and has the same sound effects. Mario's Hole-in-one animation is the same as his victory animation from this game.
Wario Land II and Wario Land 3 - One of Wario's alternate color schemes in Mario Golf is the monochromatic outfit he wears throughout these games, despite the fact that that outfit is a product of technical limitations, not artistic choice.
Mario Party - Many of the sound effects from Mario Party, such as "menu select", "go back", "your turn", "pause", and "not available", are used. If the character whose taking their turn is out of Power Shots, it will make the "go back" sound in any attempt to press the when far away from the Green. One of Toad's voice clips from this game is reused. The coin sound effect is used for Birdie Badges.
Mario Kart 64 - Some of the sound effects from Mario Kart 64 are also used, such as "item drop" and "1st lap complete".

Regional differences[edit]

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.

References in later games[edit]

Wario Land 4 and early WarioWare titles - Some of Wario's voice lines were reused.
Luigi's Mansion - Mario's pose is reused for his portrait artwork.
Super Smash Bros. Melee - Plum appears as a trophy.
Wario World - Some of Wario's voice clips were reused.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Two of Wario's alternate costumes are his red and blue outfit and his black and white outfit.
Mario Golf: World Tour - In addition to being a sequel to this game, all six main courses in this game are available as downloadable content with updated music and visuals (though Shy Guy Desert, Yoshi's Island, and Boo Valley have been renamed to Layer-Cake Desert, Sparkling Waters, and Rock-Candy Mines, respectively, and the music for Mario's Star has been changed). In addition, Peach's hole-in-one and birdie animations are similar to the animations in this game, with the only difference being that she deliberately has her sport outfit transform into her trademark dress in World Tour.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Two of Bowser's alternate costumes are his blue skin and his green skin, two of Donkey Kong's alternate costumes are his blue fur and his yellow fur, and one of Luigi's alternate costumes is his dark green and yellow outfit.

+'''''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 characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] 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. [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Its Game Boy Color counterpart]] was released later that same year.

+==Introduction==
-| designer =
+Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Plum are making some shots on the golf course. As each of them make their shots, their names appear onscreen. 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.

-'''''Mario Golf''''' was a game in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]] for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It was the first game in the ''Mario Golf'' series to have 3D graphics. The game has fourteen characters to select from on its own, some of whom were generic [[human]]s, who didn't make any other appearances.
 ==Gameplay==
+''Mario Golf'' is a golf game which combines largely traditional mechanics and gameplay devices with a presentation from the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' universe, featuring the ''Super Mario'' franchise roster and hazards.
+The basic gameplay uses the typical "sliding bar" mechanism of most golf video games, with several variables which must be anticipated, such as character attributes, wind strength and direction, rain, ball spin, and course topography. The gameplay modes include speed golf, ring shot, mini golf and skins match. The sun sets when the player gets to the last six holes of the main courses, in any mode.
+Players can play most of the multiplayer modes with CPU players by selecting a character and pressing {{button|n64|A}} while holding down {{button|n64|R}}. However, '''Club Slots''' and '''Mini-Golf''' do not allow CPU players.
+In this game, the golf ball makes a different sound when it bounces on the green than when it bounces on the fairway. In later games, both terrains produce the same sound for the ball.
+===Scores===
+Depending on how many strokes the player required to take to hit the ball into the hole, players receive a score and a name for the score. The following is a list of them, from best to worst scores:

+|-
+|[[Hole-in-One]]
+|[[File:Mario Golf Hole-in-One.png|150px]]

+==Game modes==
+''Mario Golf'' features 10 game modes:
+===Tournament===
+*Number of Players: 1
+This mode consists of a tournament between the human player and 29 computer players in an 18-hole course (though the computer players aren't seen except in the leaderboards). Despite this, there are only 14 playable characters in this game. The CPU player names range from characters from franchises such as ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' to ''[[:Category:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]]'' to ''[[:Category:Star Fox series|Star Fox]]'', as well as the first names of real people, usually localisers and voice actors. The player's objective is to finish the tournament in the top three positions to earn a [[Trophy]]. The player earns the most Course Points when they finish a tournament in 1st place. [[Birdie Badge]]s can also be earned by finishing a hole with [[Birdie]] or better. While selecting a tournament, Boo Classic is misspelled as "Boo Clasic". While continuing a hole on either the Yoshi Championship or the Boo Classic, their tournament names will also be swapped.
+===Get Character===
+*Number of Players: 1
+The player competes in a '''Match Game''' against another computer player. In this game, the player with the fewest strokes gets a point. However, if the player in the lead wins enough points that they would be mathematically ahead even after losing all remaining matches, the game will end early. If the game is tied after 18 holes, [[Sudden Death]] starts. If the player wins, they unlock that character.
+===Ring Shot===
+*Number of Players: 1
+The player must shoot the ball through all rings while finishing at [[par]] or better. If the player does not make par, they must restart the hole from the beginning. There are six Ring Shot holes for each of the six courses, making a total of 36 holes. A new course is unlocked in Ring Shot after completing 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 holes. If 30 holes are completed, [[Donkey Kong]] is unlocked as a playable character. One [[Power Shot (Mario Golf series)|Power Shot]] is allowed for each hole.
+===Speed Golf===
+[[File:MG64 Speed Golf Wario.png|thumb|[[Wario]] beginning a round of [[Speed Golf]]]]
+*Number of Players: 1
+The player must finish all 18 holes as fast as possible.
+===Stroke Play===
+*Number of Players: 1-4 (CPU allowed)
+A standard game of golf. The winner is the player with the fewest total strokes.
+===Mini-Golf===
+*Number of Players: 1-4 (CPU not allowed)
+Like Stroke Play, but in mini-golf courses. Despite the rules being the same, CPU characters cannot be played against. The player selects from two courses, and each hole is par 3. It has three settings: Green (green-themed with a normal ball speed), Slow (blue-themed with a low ball speed), and Fast (red-and-yellow-themed with a high ball speed). [[Luigi's Garden]] has the first nine holes looking like numbers 1 to 9 and the last nine holes looking like letters A to I. The first 17 holes of [[Peach's Castle (Nintendo 64 golf course)|Peach's Castle]] look like the rest of the alphabet letters and Hole 18 resembles a question mark. In Training, Mini-Golf courses do not play the Training BGM and instead play their own.
+===Training===
+[[File:MG64 Driving Range Logo.png|thumb|60px|Driving Range logo.]]
+*Number of Players: 1
+The player can play any course and hole, as well as change the weather settings. [[Driving Range]] is only available in this mode.
+===Match Play===
+*Number of Players: 2 (CPU allowed)
+Like '''Get Character''', but with two players and there are no characters to be unlocked.
+===Skins Match===
+*Number of Players: 2-4 (CPU allowed)
+The winner of the hole gets a point. In a tie, the points are carried over. The winner is the one with the most points.
+===Club Slots===
+*Number of Players: 2-4 (CPU not allowed)
+Like '''Skins Match''', but with randomized clubs (though the player can use the putter at any time). Despite the objective being the same, CPU players cannot participate.
+==Interactions with ''Mario Golf'' for Game Boy Color==
+''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64 has the ability to link and exchange data with [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version of the same game]]. With the use of the Nintendo 64 [[Transfer Pak]], the player can use the characters: [[Kid]], [[Azalea]], [[Sherry]], and/or [[Joe (Mario Golf series)|Joe]] from the Game Boy Color version to play through the Nintendo 64 version of ''Mario Golf''. The unlockable characters from the Game Boy Color version: [[Putts]], [[Grace]], [[Tiny (Mario Golf series)|Tiny]], and [[Gene]] are not transferrable.
+==Courses==
+There are eight courses plus a training range in the Nintendo 64 version of ''Mario Golf''. They are:

+===Playable===
+[[File:Mario Golf 64 Transfer Pak Mode.png|thumb|[[Kid]] about to be transferred from the Game Boy Color version.]]
+The following is a list of default characters in the order of which they are unlocked, with [[Plum]], [[Charlie]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Baby Mario]] being available from the start. Each character has three alternate colors to choose from (similar to the alternate costumes in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'') (players can choose the colors by using the {{button|n64|Cright}}, {{button|n64|Cdown}}, and {{button|n64|Cleft}}), and each character can be chosen multiple times if there is more than one player. Plum, Charlie, [[Sonny (Mario Golf)|Sonny]], [[Harry (Mario Golf)|Harry]], and [[Maple]] make their first appearances in any game, while [[Metal Mario]] is absent from the Japanese version.
+[[Kid]], [[Joe (Mario Golf series)|Joe]], [[Sherry]], and [[Azalea]] can also be unlocked through a Transfer Pak. In the Virtual Console port and Nintendo Switch Online, the Transfer Pak feature to transfer these characters from the Game Boy Color version was removed.

-''Mario Golf'' had undergone many changes since its [[NES Open Tournament Golf|predecessor]]. This game was much more detailed, both in character design as well as course layout. Courses involved many obstacles and traps, giving the player additional challenges. The precision of the wind's effect on a shot increased dramatically, giving addition to the game's realism. Another addition to realism in the game was how the player's reaction affected the golf ball's shot. The player could put spin on the ball as well as closely direct where the ball could land when a shot was performed correctly.

-''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64 had the ability to link with ''[[Mario Golf (GBC)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Game Boy Color]]. With the use of the [[Transfer Pak]], the player could transfer data from one version of ''Mario Golf'' to the other. By doing so, the player can play as characters specifically in the Game Boy Color installment on his or her Nintendo 64 installment of ''Mario Golf''.

+==Reception==
+''Mario Golf'' garnered generally favorable reviews. GameSpot describes the game as easy to play, by having simple features and by "removing the guesswork for gamers who are not familiar with the subtle nuances of golf" that may put off many players. IGN stated "When it comes to the intricacies that make golf the most loved and frustrating game on the planet, Mario Golf has it all. Challenging, but you will be drawn into it because of the nature of golf and your fear that the "little cartoon game" is mocking you".

+|align="left"|"''Mario Golf is fun, plain and simple. It's better than Waialea Country Club hands down, offering a much richer game of golf. While I eventually learned to tune out the cartoon-style characters and focus on the tougher parts of the game, it may be tough to reel-in those 19 year-olds like Nintendo wanted because it just doesn't look like a game they'd enjoy. That's too bad because there's plenty of fun underneath all of those layers. There are better sports games out there to be sure, but right now, Mario Golf should be the golfing game of choice.''"

+|align="left"|"''Although Mario Golf is a little on the cutesy side, anyone who wants a great golf game need look no further. There really isn't much of a choice, even if there were, Mario Golf would likely be your best bet anyway. This is a top-quality golf game, despite the cartoony premise. Anyone who would turn a blind eye to Mario Golf because of its exterior qualities will be missing perhaps the best golf game on a console. With an extensive amount of options in either single-player or multiplayer, Mario Golf is the game that will keep on giving. It's not like golf games suffer from the need to update on a yearly basis, like, say, hockey games. Therefore, to say that this game has lasting power would be an understatement. While a true golf fanatic would certainly enjoy this, perhaps the most important thing is that it's user friendly enough to appeal to the masses. As far as golf games go, and as a game in general, Mario Golf comes highly recommended.''"

+===Sales===
+''Mario Golf'' is the 37th best-selling game for the Nintendo 64, selling approximately 1.5 million copies worldwide - 650,000 copies each in North America and Japan, and 200,000 elsewhere - and it would later be re-released as a Nintendo 64 "Player's Choice" title.
-[[Charles Martinet]] as [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], [[Baby Mario]], [[Metal Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]]
+==References to other games==
+*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' - One of Bowser's alternate color schemes in ''Mario Golf'' is the green skin that Bowser had in his first appearance.  A cover version of the overworld theme plays in Mario's Star and during part of the credits. A cover version of the underground theme is heard during the player's attempt to score a birdie.
+*''[[Super Mario World]]'' - Yoshi's alternate color schemes in ''Mario Golf'' is the Red Yoshi, the Blue Yoshi, and the Yellow Yoshi. Also, one of Mario and Baby Mario's alternate color schemes in ''Mario Golf'' is Fire Mario's colors.
+*''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' - One of Peach's alternate color schemes in ''Mario Golf'' is her green dress and Daisy's blue dress.
+*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' - Yoshi's sound effects were taken from this game.
+*''[[Super Mario 64]]'' - Names of several characters in this game appear on the score Board, and many sound effects from this game such as camera change are used. Also Metal Mario is playable and has the same sound effects. Mario's Hole-in-one animation is the same as his victory animation from this game.
+*''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' - One of Wario's alternate color schemes in ''Mario Golf'' is the monochromatic outfit he wears throughout these games, despite the fact that that outfit is a product of technical limitations, not artistic choice.
+*''[[Mario Party]]'' - Many of the sound effects from ''Mario Party'', such as "menu select", "go back", "your turn", "pause", and "not available", are used. If the character whose taking their turn is out of [[Power Shot (Mario Golf series)|Power Shots]], it will make the "go back" sound in any attempt to press the {{button|N64|B}} when far away from the Green. One of Toad's voice clips from this game is reused. The coin sound effect is used for Birdie Badges.
+*''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' - Some of the sound effects from ''Mario Kart 64'' are also used, such as "item drop" and "1st lap complete".
-[[Jen Taylor]] as [[Princess Peach]], [[Toad]]
+==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.
-[[Kazumi Totaka]] as [[Yoshi]]
+==References in later games==
+*''[[Wario Land 4]]'' and early ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' titles - Some of Wario's voice lines were reused.
+*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' - Mario's pose is reused for his portrait artwork.
+*''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' - Plum appears as a trophy.
+*''[[Wario World]]'' - Some of Wario's voice clips were reused.
+*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' - Two of Wario's alternate costumes are his red and blue outfit and his black and white outfit.
+*''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' - In addition to being a sequel to this game, all six main courses in this game are available as [[Downloadable content|downloadable content]] with updated music and visuals (though Shy Guy Desert, Yoshi's Island, and Boo Valley have been renamed to [[Layer-Cake Desert (golf course)|Layer-Cake Desert]], [[Sparkling Waters (golf course)|Sparkling Waters]], and [[Rock-Candy Mines (golf course)|Rock-Candy Mines]], respectively, and the music for Mario's Star has been changed). In addition, Peach's hole-in-one and birdie animations are similar to the animations in this game, with the only difference being that she deliberately has her sport outfit transform into her trademark dress in ''World Tour''.
+*''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' - Two of Bowser's alternate costumes are his blue skin and his green skin, two of Donkey Kong's alternate costumes are his blue fur and his yellow fur, and one of Luigi's alternate costumes is his dark green and yellow outfit.

-*It should be noted that Wario's Shoes are pink in this game instead of his regular green. It seems to be an error since his shoes are green in the artwork. Regardless, the shoes were changed back to green in Camelot's next game, [[Mario Tennis (N64)|Mario Tennis]].
