Gene



Gene (full name Gene Yuss) is one of the human golfers in the Mario Golf Series and Mario Golf: Advance Tour. Gene appears suave, intelligent, and sophiscated, if not arrogant and self-absorbed. He constantly speaks in third person ("The Gene"), and is very protective and competitive about his singles title. When a threat arises, he immediately loses his cool and begins to panic. Known as the Birdie King, he was once the champion of the Links, but his title was taken by Kid. He got the title back after Kid suffered a career-crippling incident, but it was taken back by Kid after he recovered from his accident and gained control of the ranks. He has now formed a doubles team with him in a desperate attempt to stop Kid's students, Neil and Ella, from taking what titles remain with the Birdie King. Gene's stats are quite good, except for his control.
