Gene



Gene (full name Gene Yuss) is one of the most elite human golfers in the Mario Golf Series and Mario Golf: Advance Tour. Gene appears suave, intelligent, and sophisticated, 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, striving to become better. Known as the Birdie King and the Greatest of the Great, he was once the champion of the Links, but his title was taken by Kid, forcing him to finally accept defeat.

In Mario Golf: Advance Tour he claimed his title back after Kid suffered a career-crippling incident. He enjoyed his glory and was overcome by his arrogance once again for the time being, but it was taken back yet again by Kid after he recovered from his accident and gained control of the ranks. He had 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.
