Joe is a male golfer in the Mario Golf series. He is known to be a bit of a showoff; however, he nonetheless proves that he is a balanced golfer.
History[edit]
Background[edit]
It is said that Joe used to be a disco pro when he was 18, but he later turned to golfing. He has managed to keep his flair through the years and commonly uses dance terms to describe his skills.
Mario Golf[edit]
Joe debuted in the Game Boy Color version of Mario Golf as one of the first four playable characters players could choose from. In his appearance for these games, Joe has brown hair tied back into a ponytail. He wears an orange-collared yellow polo shirt, a brown belt, and white slacks. His golf shoes are auburn brown, and he wears a yellow golfing glove. His trademark is a pair of dark sunglasses over his eyes. There is a green earring on his right ear.
Joe could be transferred to the Nintendo 64 version using the Transfer Pak. He is voiced by Mike Madeoy in this appearance.[1]
Mario Golf: Advance Tour[edit]
In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, Joe defeats Putts for the championship title and becomes the current champ of the Marion Tourney. He decides to partner with Putts for the Marion Doubles Cup. When it is taken by Neil and Ella, Joe tells them to keep training, so one day they could become as good as Kid. In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, Joe retains his ponytail (though it is now longer), his earring, and his trademark shades. However, he now wears a yellow-collared green polo shirt, beige slacks, brown and blue golfing shoes, and a white golfing glove.

- Nintendo website bio: オレってクール？イェ－イ！といってもオレはアラジンではない！ちょっとネタが古いか。まあそんなことはどうでもいい。オレはクールな大学生。最近ゴルフをはじめたところだが、ダンスで鍛えたリズム感でゴルフなんてカンタン、カンタン。けどなかなか伸びないスコアを見るとゴルフって結構奥の深いスポーツなのかも？(Aren't I cool? Yeah! But I am not Aladdin! Is that an old story? Well, that does not matter. I am a cool college student. Although I started playing golf recently, it is easy to play golf when you have a sense of rhythm trained with dance. But if you see your score not growing quite well, maybe golf is a deeper sport than I thought?)[2]
- Camelot website bio: 何をするにも「クール」かどうかが気になるダンス大好きのジョー、１８歳。ある時大学の友達と遊び半分にやったゴルフでコテンパンにやられた負けず嫌いの彼はゴルフにいきなり目覚める。まだまだ発展途上のジョーだが、ダンスで鍛えた体とリズム感は必ずやゴルフの助けとなることでしょう。(An 18-year-old dancer who is always concerned about whether or not he looks "cool" in everything he does. One day, while playing golf with some college friends, he was completely defeated and his competitive nature sparked his passion for golf. While Joe is still developing, the body and sense of rhythm he has developed through dance will surely be of great help to him in golf.)[3]
