Mario Golf Toadstool Tour: Stroke of Betrayal

One day someone invented the sport of hitting a ball with a stick, Mario Golf is one of those inventions. Golf just isn't for me, but putting it into a video game is speaking my language and helping me try new things. Mario has never lead my astray in the past...right?

Tees, clubs, golf carts, and ... Piranha Plants?! It must be Mario Golf! Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong and a cast of their cohorts have dusted off their clubs and set their sights on the Toadstool Tour championship. Two new styles of golf courses and a new swing system offer both the seasoned Mario golfer and those new to the game a fresh look at golfing in the Mushroom Kingdom. Features include: Choose to play on a conventional course or an all-new course designed from the ground up to be all about the Mushroom Kingdom! Chip over warp pipes and avoid hazards like Piranha Plants, Chain Chomps and Thwomps when playing on Mario-inspired courses. Tee for two, three or four! You can tee-off solo or fill out a foursome for some friendly competition. Control your swing in a manual mode for experts and a partially automated mode for novices.

legend has it, everytime he completes a game, a hair is added to his beard

[@MJM_23]

Except when he shaves then it just comes back better than ever

[@tristenj1992]

A grey one

[@GmodPlusWoW]

If said hair is grey, I could definitely see that. Sometimes it's like seeing him take little sippies from that one false Grail that Donovan chugged.

That explains why he has to shave sometimes, otherwise it's like a sheep that escapes for years and returns as a fluffy boulder.

So uh... who's gonna tell him about the Ace CPUs? Well I guess I will since it's not widely known info anyway, but there's a secret AI setting for the CPUs in Match Play after Pro called Ace. I don't know when this was found, but it was originally thought that you had to beat every tournament (regular and star) with every character (regular and star), which is absolutely insane. It was found later on that the criteria is to beat every Star tournament with every regular character (also can't remember if unlockable chars count for this), still insane (especially difficulty wise), but 25% the content requirement. The thing about the Ace CPUs is that, well they're almost unbeatable. The best players of this game in the world (check out MetalYoshiProGamer for his match videos against them) struggle immensely to keep up. Their decision making and execution are nearly flawless across the board and beating any star Ace is a fantastic achievement.

[@mysticmismagius6298]

You have to beat every Star tournament with every character, except Niel and Ella. The four unlockable characters do need to be used. In the Japanese version you only have to beat Star Bowser Badlands once.

[@ShadowMario3]

It was actually figured out later on that you just need to beat every Star Tournament with every (non-GBA) character! Doesn't matter if you use regular or star versions. Definitely weird that he didn't mention this though, since he would have seen the unlock notification once he met that requirement.

[@Jonnyonthespot123]

Guys, please, for Jirard's sake keep this quiet! Don't torture him any more than he already has! 16+ days of total playtime!

Pffft. Everyone knows golf was invented when Bullroarer Took charged the goblins' ranks with a wooden club, and knocked the goblin chieftain Golfimbul's head clean off, sending it sailing a hundred yards through the air and down a rabbit-hole, thus winning the battle and inventing the game of Golf at the same time.

[@daltonreeves7683]

[@Blkloligamer]

I played a bunch of Mario sports games with my dad as a kid and I remember this was his favorite. So much he went out one random weekend and bought it after I first rented it! He wants to get into Super Rush now that it's out. Lotta warm and fuzzy memories associated with this one.

On the third or fourth hole I proceeded to get a hole in one and was effectively banned (jokingly), he's not been keen on trying it again since

[@bguy6778]

@Kazuma Kiryu I would like this skill

[@CosmicTerminal]

The compliment / taunt system is still one of my favourite things added to a golf game to this day. Side note, I did music trivia with friends a couple years back and instead of using traditional buzzards, the 3 teams chose a character in Mario Golf and used their taunts to buzz in. It was as chaotic as you would assume.

[@julianx2rl]

Betrayed... BETRAYED I SAY!!!

[@Garryn_]

Small word of advice (I guess for anyone deciding to play this game after it, since I don't assume Jirard wants to pick it back up): when you use the D-Pad to shape your shot, that doesn't do anything unless you hold the Analog Stick to that impact point after you start your swing. Several times throughout the video, you can see that the impact preview has changed, but the red filled circle is where you're actually hitting the ball; every shot throughout the entire video was a regular, un-shaped shot. There's also the whole Ace CPU thing...it wasn't mentioned in the vid, but it sounded like the criteria should've been met anyway. Not sure. I'm glad you played this game, I still play it a ton (used to speedrun it). Game deserves the love it gets but to go for full completion is definitely a mammoth task.

[@broncorider24]

[@DashFennec]

Oh god Jirard im so sorry you gotta hear this, but it seems the game doesn't accurately tell you how choosing what part of the ball you can hit actually works, after moving the ring to the desired spot on the ball, during the swing you need to move the thumbstick to line up the red dot with the ring or else its a regular center shot with no customized arc, that would be why some of those challenges felt like hitting your head against a wall.

[@ShadowMario3]

"but it seems the game doesn't accurately tell you how choosing what part of the ball you can hit actually works" The game actually has a very thorough Lessons menu that actually tells you how to play the game! Unfortunately, most people skip this, so they don't know many features. For example, what you are describing is under "Adjusting Impact Point" in the game.

[@Tsalviatti]

Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge is still my favorite Golf game of all time. It should get a Completionist episode.

As one who likes golf both in video game form an IRL, I gotta say Topshot Golf is a great place to go if you want to just hit balls on a fancy driving range with your friends, get some drinks and food and just have a good time. Less retirement village and more, Dave and Busters without your drunk uncle Eddy trying to teach you about a game you've been playing most of your life then passing out next to the ticket counter.

I gotta say, the new intro is AWESOME

Do Ribbit King, it's basically a mario golf-like game but the "golf balls" are frogs, the game calls the sport "Frolf." Flofl has a ton of obstacles that can help or hurt your frog. it's a pretty original Game Cube game and takes golf but spins it to make a totally different experience.

I have many memories playing Mario Golf for the GameBoy Color, its amazing how addictive a sport like golf could become on older consoles.

I love the opening to this game (wish there was bloopers in it as well like power tennis😂)

[@Tailstraw_xD]

This new intro is rad as heck!

The soundtrack for this game is amazing

In this case, not even Mario could interest me in a golf game. Toadstool Tour is one of the game rentals that I regretted almost immediately. We also owned the Game Boy version of Mario Golf, but it was my brother who actually made progress in its adventure mode.
