'''''Mario Golf''''' is the first installment for the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]] and was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] in 1999. It was developed by [[Camelot Software Planning]]. Though several sports games featured ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters in the past, ''Mario Golf'' is considered the first game in the modern "Mario Sports" line. It would be followed by several titles encompassing a variety of sports. Its [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color counterpart]] was released later that same year. | '''''Mario Golf''''' is the first installment for the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]] and was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] in 1999.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Plum are making some shots on the golf course. As each of them make their shots, their names appear on screen. They are each complimented for their amazing shots, as they each try to make a hole in one. Later, as the four are fetching their balls, Mario already spots his ball. Peach then calls Mario over to see if the ball in front of her is hers. Mario checks to see, but the ball actually belongs to Yoshi (or Donkey Kong). Another ball suddenly zooms in, and the ball turns out to be Baby Mario's. Yoshi carries Baby Mario on his back (or Donkey Kong would carry Baby Mario), as their names appear on screen, surprising Mario and Peach, who laugh it off. Luigi then looks for his ball, but soon spots it, while spotting Toad with an O.B flag in the process. Luigi slaps his face, and shrugs, not knowing that Mario, Peach, and Plum are standing around him, laughing. Lakitu then flies by, as the game's logo appears on screen. | Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Plum are making some shots on the golf course. As each of them make their shots, their names appear on screen.

In this game, the golf ball makes a different sound when it bounces on the green than when it bounces on the fairway. In later games, both terrains produce the same sound for the ball. | In this game, the golf ball makes a different sound when it bounces on the green than when it bounces on the fairway.

This mode consists of a tournament between the human player and 29 computer players in an 18-hole course (though the computer players aren't seen except in the leaderboards). Despite this, there are only 14 playable characters in this game. The CPU player names range from characters from franchises such as ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' to ''[[:Category:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]]'' to ''[[:Category:Star Fox series|Star Fox]]'', as well as the first names of real people, usually localisers and voice actors. The player's objective is to finish the tournament in the top three positions to earn a [[Trophy]]. The player earns the most Course Points when they finish a tournament in 1st place. [[Birdie Badge]]s can also be earned by finishing a hole with [[Birdie]] or better. While selecting a tournament, Boo Classic is misspelled as "Boo Clasic". While continuing a hole on either the Yoshi Championship or the Boo Classic, their tournament names will also be swapped. | This mode consists of a tournament between the human player and 29 computer players in an 18-hole course (though the computer players aren't seen except in the leaderboards).

The player competes in a '''Match Game''' against another computer player. In this game, the player with the fewest strokes gets a point. However, if the player in the lead wins enough points that they would be mathematically ahead even after losing all remaining matches, the game will end early. If the game is tied after 18 holes, [[Sudden Death]] starts. If the player wins, they unlock that character. | The player competes in a '''Match Game''' against another computer player.

''Mario Golf'' garnered generally favorable reviews. GameSpot describes the game as easy to play, by having simple features and by "removing the guesswork for gamers who are not familiar with the subtle nuances of golf" that may put off many players. IGN stated "When it comes to the intricacies that make golf the most loved and frustrating game on the planet, Mario Golf has it all. Challenging, but you will be drawn into it because of the nature of golf and your fear that the "little cartoon game" is mocking you". | ''Mario Golf'' garnered generally favorable reviews.

|align="left"| | |align="left"|''"Although Mario Golf is a little on the cutesy side, anyone who wants a great golf game need look no further. There really isn't much of a choice, even if there were, Mario Golf would likely be your best bet anyway. This is a top-quality golf game, despite the cartoony premise. Anyone who would turn a blind eye to Mario Golf because of its exterior qualities will be missing perhaps the best golf game on a console. With an extensive amount of options in either single-player or multiplayer, Mario Golf is the game that will keep on giving. It's not like golf games suffer from the need to update on a yearly basis, like, say, hockey games. Therefore, to say that this game has lasting power would be an understatement. While a true golf fanatic would certainly enjoy this, perhaps the most important thing is that it's user friendly enough to appeal to the masses. As far as golf games go, and as a game in general, Mario Golf comes highly recommended.''" | ||
