NES Open Tournament Golf (also known as Mario Open Golf in Japan) is an NES game featuring Mario characters. As the name of the game implies, it is a golf game and was one of the first golfing games in the Mario series. In the American version of the game, the graphics and soundtrack has slightly changed. The game does not take place in the Mushroom Kingdom and instead takes place on Earth, or the "real world". The levels are Japan, Australia, France, the United Kingdom and the United States.
A version of this game was made for the Nintendo PlayChoice-10 in America, called Mario's Open Golf. This game has also been released on the Virtual Console of the Wii for 500 Wii Points.

[edit] Trivia
- This is Daisy's only appearance in a NES game.
- This is the only NES game where Peach is depicted with blonde hair. Her outfit was green due to the 8-bit color restrictions, yet wearing the color pink in the Western Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3 restricted her hair color to brown.
- This is also the only game that depicted Daisy with blonde hair in the game as opposed to auburn and wearing blue instead of yellow and white, also due to the 8-bit color restrictions.
- In the Japanese version of the game, features different playable courses and characters.
- Although the Japan Course and UK Course are also playable courses in North America version they do not contain the same holes. For example, hole 1 in the Australia Course is hole 9 in the US Course.
