Gene

It has been requested that this article be rewritten.

Gene (full name: Gene Yuss) is an elite human golfer in the Mario Golf series. Gene appears suave, intelligent, and sophisticated, though arrogant and self-absorbed. His full name is a pun on the word "genius", which also describes his self-centered personality. In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, he speaks in third person ("The Gene"), and is protective and competitive about his singles title. When a threat arises, he loses his cool and panics, giving him an intense desire to improve.

Known as the Birdie King and the Greatest of the Great, Gene 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 again overcome by his arrogance, but Kid won the title back after he recovered from his accident and gained control of the ranks. Gene 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.

Concept and creation

In Mario Golf, Gene was short, his hair was black and also shorter, and his skin was very fair. While his outfit was similar, the colors were varied. He wore no vest, but the same type of shirt. The only difference being his white shirt had a purple collar rather than being one solid color. His pants consisted of a brown belt with a buckle, and were a vibrant purple color. His fedora was also in the same fashion but was black with a white ribbon rather than red. Some traits stayed intact, including most of his physical features, his shoes and golfer's glove.

Profiles

Translated from Japanese:

How do you do? My name is Jean. It's sweet of you to try me. If you want to challenge me, try after defeating the three above. Even though my club looks small, it has a lean form and accurate striking and distance. If you do not have a lot of experience, you can not compete equally with me! It seems Pats is saying that he will beat me in the near future. He seems to have increased considerably, but even if it takes 100 years, he can not win against me! That means that there is a difference between him and me!
