'''''Mario Golf: Advance Tour''''', known in Japan as '''''Mario Golf: GBA Tour''''' (マリオゴルフ ＧＢＡツアー), is the fourth installment of the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]] and the [[Game Boy Advance]] counterpart of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It continues the RPG style of the ''Mario Golf'' series. It is advertised as being ''Role-Playing Golf''. The game was re-released on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in 2014.

Throughout the game, several collectibles appear as items that the player may find in the map. They include [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, [[Drinks]] and [[Custom Ticket]]s.

Bottles can be found in various places on the map. They increase distance by 3, 4 or 5 yards, depending on the drink. There are Muscle Drinks, Hyper Bottles and Super Bottles.

The music is even reflective of the N64's - it varies, depending on how well you're doing, and it's constant without being annoying. The only thing missing, audiowise, are the taunts, and frankly, you'll probably do just fine on your own.''"

|align="left"|"''With Mario Golf: Advance Tour, Camelot proves it has that shrewd appreciation of what keeps people coming back to the likes of Toadstool Tour, Tiger Woods and the console Links - and also like those games it renders the sport with a degree of artistic licence. The result is a game that you can pick up and play, but won't necessarily be able to turn off and put down for several hours if you do, and the only drawbacks are that it sometimes looks a bit ropey, it doesn't quite manage to pull off the RPG idea completely, and the lack of a proper putting game detracts a little bit from the final few feet of every hole. But, in all honesty, if our SP's battery hadn't run down last night and the power cable hadn't proved elusive, we might have sat up in bed playing it until we had piranha plants burnt into our retinas. As it is, we're up at dawn to try and convince you to buy it. Well, if you want portable golf, just do. Ho-kay?''"

* The BGMs played during the chance for getting a Par (or higher) and Bogey (or lower) are swapped compared when they are played in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.  

* Wario and Waluigi's voices are played incorrectly when selecting them in the character menu. Wario uses Waluigi's voice and vice-versa.

* Peach, Wario, and Waluigi all strike poses from a certain frame shot of their losing animations from ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' as their selection image. Peach and Wario uses a frame from their bogey animations, and Waluigi uses his double bogey's (and lower).
