The game features eight playable Mario characters in all, four of which have to be unlocked. There are also even more exclusive human characters that [[Camelot Software Planning|Camelot]] made for the game. The two main characters in ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'' can be transferred to the [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' if the player uses the GBA to GameCube link cable. Star versions of the Mario characters can be unlocked by beating them in a Character Match, which increases distance but decreases impact. Character stats can also be altered by using Custom Clubs that have been obtained in the Story mode. Character statistics are listed below.<br>
'''Drive''' - How far the ball travels in the air for on a perfect shot with a driver (1W).<br>
'''Trajectory''' - What direction the ball travels in when hit. For right-handed players, if the ball curves to the left, it's a draw; to the right, a fade; far to the left, a hook or far to the right, a slice, and vice-versa for left-handed players.<br>
'''Height''' - How high or low the ball travels in the air. The higher the ball travels, the more affected by wind it is, the higher it bounces, and the more it is affected by spin. The lower it is, the less it gets affected by wind; additionally, it makes the ball bounce further, roll more and get more affected by lie.<br>
'''Impact''' - The amount of the sweet-spot marker left for certain shots. Less makes bunker shots much harder to land and often results in mis-hits.<br>
'''Control''' - The amount of movement away from the targeted spot when hit off the perfect impact point. The higher the amount, the less the ball moves from the target spot.<br>
'''Spin''' - The amount of affect spin has on the ball. Having a higher amount will mean that the ball will roll further with the use of spin.

|align="left"|"''Video golf might not be everyone's cup of tea, but no one can deny the amount of effort that went into the creation of Camelot's latest Game Boy Advance game. From its single player elements to its GameCube connectivity, to its Wireless Adapter support, it's impossible to list every single one of the elements that make Mario Golf: Advance Tour such an amazing GBA title; everything that made Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, sans the 3D graphics, good has been improved upon for the portable rendition. The GBA game is far more realized a golfing design than its console brother, offering an immense amount of challenge in its wonderfully constructed gameplay. Its mechanics are easy to grasp for those just looking for plug-and-play action, as well as incredibly deep for those who want a lot more control in their virtual swing.''"

|align="left"|"''Mario Golf: Advance Tour makes good on the legacy of Mario Golf games that have preceded it. The gameplay is easy to pick up, but it has enough depth and diversity to stay interesting, and there's a nice variety of both realistic and fantasy-themed courses to play on. Players who take their golf seriously may be put off by some of the game's outlandish obstacles and its playful aesthetic, but if these characteristics don't bother you, you'll be treated to the most accomplished game of golf to hit the Game Boy Advance.''"

|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, {{wp|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 [[Game Boy Advance#Game Boy Advance SP|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?''"

==Trivia==
[[File:MGAT Albatross misspelling.png|thumb|"Albatross" misspelled]]
*When the player prepares to putt for an [[List of golfing terms#Albatross|albatross]], the "Albatross Putt" text spells "albatross" as "albatoross".
*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.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4UALgsu14M&t=150 Video]</ref>
*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 use a frame from their bogey animations, and Waluigi uses his double bogey's (and lower).
