An N64 golf game set in the Mushroom Kingdom and featuring Mario and friends. Select your club and hit the ball across the green and into the hole within Par. The player with the best score after up to 18 courses wins the tournament.
The accuracy of your shot is determined by a power meter at the bottom of the screen. You can view where the ball will land, and alter your shot accordingly. Beware of the wind speed and direction and make sure to avoid water hazards and sand traps.
Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses, and you can unlock more as you play. You can also import your custom characters from Mario Golf on Game Boy Color.

Start a tournament and press Start to open your options and view the Leader Board. On it are the names of all the characters taking place in the tournament. As there are more places on the leader board than characters in the game, someone improvised and filled the rest of the spaces with the names of Nintendo of America staff and other Nintendo characters. Here are some of the cameo names spotted so far:
- Mario Series: Big Penguin, Bob-Omb, Bub, Buzzy, Cheep Cheep, Chill Bully, Dorie, Fly Guy, Goomba, Koopa, Lakitu, Larry, Lemmy, Ludwig, Monty Mole, Morton, Pidgit, Red Beezo, Rex, Spike, Spiny, Toad, Ukkiki, Wendy O., Whomp, Wiggler
- The Legend of Zelda Series: Darunia, Deku Scrub, Goron Kid, Impa, Link, Malon, Navi, Saria, Sheik, Talon, Zelda
- Star Fox Series: Bill, Falco L., Fox, McCloud, Peppy, Pigma
There are probably even more cameo names available. You seem to get a lot of different names if you play the different courses a few times.
