Template:Infobox Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour is the third game in the Mario Golf series (developed by Camelot Software Planning), the second home console installment and was released for the Nintendo GameCube. It also earned the Player's Choice rating.

Opening

File:Mgtt intro 4.png
Daisy, Peach, Luigi, and Mario celebrating results of excellent tee shots.

The game's opening starts with Mario and Luigi looking at a shiny trophy and commenting on how nice it looks. Peach and Daisy call on them saying it's tee time on the planned golf course. As the four friends are shown making excellent tee shots, Wario and Waluigi are shown from behind, extremely jealous of how well Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Daisy do. The two hear a noise and turn around to see Yoshi and Koopa Troopa together to start their round of golf. Wario and Waluigi clench their golf clubs while laughing, and prepare to join them. They all take turns hitting their golf balls, and Yoshi hits near a Chain Chomp. When he tries to get it back, the Chain Chomp wakes up and barks at Yoshi, scaring him and making him fall over. Wario attempts to hit the ball out of the bunker, but just manages to fling sand into Waluigi's face. Minutes later, Waluigi attempts to putt the ball into the hole, but fails miserably after a few tries - resulting in Yoshi and Koopa Troopa falling asleep.

Meanwhile, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong walk past the sleeping Yoshi and Koopa Troopa; Wario and Waluigi attempt to challenge them next. After Donkey Kong shows his golf prowess to Diddy, Wario and Waluigi, Wario, despite his terrible swing, attempts to hit the ball a long way, until it goes out of sight into the forest. Wario and Waluigi start celebrating until they hear a loud roar. The ball suddenly flies back and lands in front of Wario. The two look up and see Bowser coming out of the forest completely enraged because he has a black eye from the golf ball. Bowser gives chase after Wario and Waluigi in his Koopa Clown Car and starts firing Bob-ombs at the two as they run around Lakitu Valley past Birdo and Boo, who were playing a game of golf on their own. Fortunately for Wario and Waluigi, they find a yellow Warp Pipe that is too small for Bowser and his Koopa Clown Car to fit through. Wario and Waluigi come out the other side of the pipe and stop to catch their breath; however, Bowser and the Koopa Clown Car appear right above them seconds later. Bowser takes out another Bob-omb threatening to drop it, resulting in Wario and Waluigi screaming in fear for their lives.

File:Mgtt intro 5.png
Mario attempting another shot as Daisy, Luigi, and Peach watch from behind.

Meanwhile, Mario is preparing to take a shot on that same course with Luigi, Peach, and Daisy observing from behind. As Wario and Waluigi still try frantically to escape from Bowser's looming threat by going through an enormous metal door, Mario hits his ball with his golf club. Wario and Waluigi manage to open the door and continue their escape attempt. But as they did so, Mario's ball hits Wario and Waluigi, giving them black eyes as well, and knocks the Bob-omb off Bowser's hand. This ultimately results in an explosion claiming Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser as the victims. Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Daisy witnessed it from afar, completely baffled as to what caused the blast that came out of nowhere.

Gameplay

File:MGTTGameplay.jpg
Gameplay of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour

The game differs greatly from that of the previous game in both controls and visuals. The game uses 3D renders for the designs of characters and courses, changing the camera view to be able to view much more of each hole in detail. Pressing X Button or Y Button allows the player to view an overview of the hole and allows them to study the topography of the whole of it or just the green, in order to adjust their shot, and can look around using C Stick. The green also now displays moving topographic lines that follow down its path, increasing in speed the more the green slopes. A new control system has also been added, with a manual and automatic swing. The automatic swing is used by pressing A Button to set the power for the shot and then letting the game decide where the sweet spot marker ends up. A manual swing involves pressing B Button when choosing power, then pressing either A Button or B Button to set the sweet spot impact marker. This allows the use of a new feature, spin, to be used on shots. Backspin, topspin, super backspin or super topspin can be used, affecting the ball's line of movement on the ground. Topspin sends the ball rolling forward while backspin causes the ball to roll back; these spins make the ball roll a shorter distance than their super versions. Different characters' spin will be more powerful with higher spin levels. The ability to change where the ball is hit is also present from the two previous games, allowing different types of shots to be taken. Approach shots, used when players approach the pin, appear, as well as the limited number of power shots. Power shots have longer drives than normal shots, and only six can be used at a time. If a player does a perfect power shot (meaning they have aligned the first bar at the far left and perfectly aligned the second bar), it is not used up.

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:

Name Image Description
Hole-in-One Peach jumps for joy after finishing with a Hole-in-One. The player has sunk the ball in the hole with one stroke. It is easiest to receive this result on a Par 3, but it is possible to attain a Hole-in-One on a Par 4 or 5 as well.
Albatross File:PeteyAlbatross.PNG The player has sunk the ball three below par. The game awards this for a score of 2 on a Par 5, or 1 on a Par 4. Without Linking with Mario Golf: Advance Tour, these are usually much harder to achieve than a hole-in-one.
Eagle File:EagleDaisy.PNG The player has sunk the ball two below par. On a Par 3, the game records this as a Hole-in-One instead.
Birdie Peach waves in both directions after finishing with a Birdie. The player has sunk the ball one below par.
Par Peach, getting a Par in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. The player has sunk the ball with a neutral score for the hole.
Bogey Donkey Kong reacts to getting a Bogey, in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. The player has sunk the ball one above par.
Double/Triple Bogey, or more
above par
Diddy Kong reacts to getting a Double Bogey, in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. The player has sunk the ball the number indicated above par. The highest score a player can take is equivalent to triple Par (i.e. +6 for a Par 3, +8 for a Par 4, and +10 for a Par 5). Selecting Give-Up will penalize the player with a triple Par score and retire the hole.
  • NOTE: The US version of the game has a glitch that records Hole-In-Ones on Par 4 and Par 5 holes as Albatrosses. This is fixed in the European and Japanese versions.

Terrain, hazards, and other features

This section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Terrain
Name Image Description
Fairway Fairway from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour A large and common terrain that is the easiest to hit the ball from. It has no effect on the golf ball.
Fast Fairway Fast Fairway.png Similar to fairway, except there is less friction between it and a regular fairway, meaning balls bounce farther and higher and roll more.
Green Green from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour The terrain where the pin, hole, and flag are located. It is surrounded by a Fringe, and golfers need to use putters if they are on the green.
Tournament Green Similar to regular greens, but, as with fast fairways, there is less friction in the ball, meaning it rolls farther.
Fringe The area of grass surrounding the green, with a topography inbetween the green and the fairway.
Bunker File:MGTT-Bunker.png The most common negatively affecting terrain, bunkers affect the ball's lie and the ability to hit the ball accurately. Sand wedges are typically used to get balls out of bunkers.
Beach Bunker Found only in Blooper Bay, these act similar to regular bunkers, except they don't negatively affect the ball's lie as much as them. As their name suggests, they are found next to the ocean.
Grass Bunker Found only in Bowser Badlands, these bunkers are heavier than the heaviest rough and greatly affect a ball's lie.
Semi-Rough Semi-rough from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour Semi-Rough is found in the fringe area, between fairways and the rough. They slightly affect the ball's lie.
Rough Rough from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour Roughs are deeper than the semi-rough. They affect the ball's lie more than Semi-Rough, but less than a Bunker.
Heavy Rough Heavy Rough from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour The heaviest rough, these greatly affect the ball's lie, even more than a Bunker or Beach Bunker. They are located on the deepest areas of the rough, usually before an O.B.
Flower Patch File:FlowerPatch.jpg Uncommon terrain that affects a ball's lie, however not as much as Bunkers and the Rough. Whenever a shot lands in a Flower Patch, Pikmin will be shot out, wailing.
Rock Terrain that does not have much friction and causes balls to bounce out of it. When a ball lands on it, it hurts the ball's lie, though not as much as Grass Bunkers or Heavy Rough.
Brick Like Rock, terrain that does not have much friction and causes balls to bounce out of it, and also hurts the ball's lie. Brick has a very harsh, echoing ricochet sound.
Wood Wood from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour Similar to Rock, Pipe, or Brick, where the ball frequently bounces off of it. Like those three terrains, it also hurts the ball's lie.
Pipe Terrain that also doesn't have much friction and causes balls to bounce out of it. Like Rock, Brick and Wood, it adversely affects the ball's lie. They are only found on Peach's Castle Grounds, where they are usually used to transport balls from one part of a hole to another (similar to Warp Pipes); however, some pipes are used as tunnels, where the ball will roll through the pipe and land out of the other side from where it entered (usually into rough).
Waste Area Waste areas have high friction and prevent a ball from bouncing. They affect the ball's lie, though not as much as Rock.
Heath Found only in Bowser Badlands, this terrain very heavily affects a ball's lie, moreso than the deep rough.
Hazards
Name Image Description
Out of Bounds These are designated areas of the course that players cannot land their balls in. These includes endless pits, being too far off course, water, lava, and areas with Chain Chomps occupied in. When players receive an O.B., they need to redo their shot with a cost of a stroke penalty. The hazard is signified by a Koopa Paratroopa.
Water Hazard Water Hazard Out of Bounds from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour If a ball lands in water, it is considered an O.B. and players need to reshoot the ball with a stroke penalty. The hazard is signified by a Lakitu.
Tree Hazard If a ball gets stuck in a tree or lands too close to a tree, players need to reshoot the ball with a stroke penalty.
Warp Pipe Warp Pipes warp balls to another location in the golf course.
Bouncing Mushroom Bouncing Mushrooms causes balls to bounce off of the mushroom.
Boo Located only in Bowser Badlands, these enemies act as walls to flying balls, slowing or stopping a ball's progress through the air.
Thwomp Thwomp from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour Located only in Bowser Badlands, if a ball rolls underneath a Thwomp, the Thwomp smashes the ball, which heavily hurts its lie. Thwomps also act as walls to block balls.
Bob-omb Bob-omb from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour Located only in Bowser Badlands, if a ball hits a Bob-omb, it explodes, sending the ball backward. It affects flying balls more than grounded balls. When the Bob-omb explodes, it leaves behind a bunker.
Piranha Plant These enemies eat balls that roll into their Warp Pipes, and they spit them out to a spot. Some Piranha Plants spit balls out to O.B. zones.
Chain Chomp These enemies occupy certain O.B. zones. If a ball rolls into an area with Chain Chomps, the Chain Chomps wake up and an O.B. is called.
Weather
Name Image Description
Wind Wind causes the ball to travel in the direction it is blown at. Higher wind means the ball is more affected by the wind. Crosswinds (ie winds that blow from the left or right of the direction of the player's aim) affect the ball more than winds that blow from front or behind. In addition, balls with a higher trajectory are more affected by the wind than balls hit with lower trajectories.
Rain Rain lowers drive distance of the ball, as well increase ball friction that the ball rolls less, especially while putting.

Game Modes

Playable Characters

Including transferable characters, a total of 18 playable characters are featured in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, consisting of 12 default characters, 4 unlockable characters, and 2 transferable characters. This game marks the first playable appearance of Bowser Jr., Shadow Mario and Petey Piranha, as well as Diddy Kong's first appearance in a Mario game. Note that Impact, Control, and Spin are on a scale of 21.
Drive - How far the ball travels in the air for on a perfect shot with a driver (1W).
Trajectory - What direction the ball travels in when hit. For right-handed players, if the ball curves to the left, it's a draw, to the right, a fade, far to the left, a hook or far to the right, a slice, and vice-versa for left-handed players.
Height - How high or low the ball travels in the air. The higher the ball travels, the more affected by wind it is, the more it bounces high and is affected by spin. The lower it is, it gets less affected by wind, makes the ball bounce further, roll more and get more affected by lie.
Impact - The amount of the sweet-spot marker left for certain shots. Less makes bunker shots match harder to land and often results in mis-hits.
Control - The amount of movement away from the targeted spot when hit off the perfect impact point, The higher the amount, the less the ball moves from the target spot.
Spin - The amount of affect spin has on the ball. Having a higher amount will mean that the ball will roll further with the use of spin.
