I love this game so, so much. totally got the rose-tinted goggles on regarding this one. will not hesitate to admit that. but also, I don't care. I am so sad that Mario Golf got less and less fun as the installments kept coming. this game is the most fun. I will admit the unlocking characters is garbage and that they're OP af when you go up against them. it's true. it's really all true. but I like Peach and Plum the most anyway so uhhhhhhhhh. whoops. Maple too, but she's the easy unlock that exists, so... well. :)
never owned this one, just rented it a lot, and then have emulated it a number of times. so much fun. I have done the research and realized that Toadstool Tour has most of the same content this game did. huh. the only game mode here that is not there is mini golf. while the mini golf courses are bland(and visually glitchy via N64 emulation), I don't care, I love doing the mini golf. it is a real shame they've never done it again.
