Following the series' impressive debut on the N64, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour felt like the natural evolution of the series, with Camelot opting to perfect the formula rather than trying to rewrite it entirely. That's not to say that there wasn't at least some innovation, however, with plenty of new mechanics being added as well as some of the best multiplayer game modes to have graced the series to date.

The game features 16 classic Mario characters, four of which will need to be unlocked by completing various challenges. It's also possible to transfer Neil and Ella from Advance Tour, with their stats also being carried over. All in all, it's an excellent game that improves on the original in almost every aspect. Unfortunately, however, two areas where it failed to do so were its clunky controls and cumbersome camera, both of which can at times lead to frustration rather than fun.
