Mario Golf (video game)

Mario Golf refers to multiple video games in the Mario Golf series developed primarily by Camelot Software Planning, in partnership with Nintendo. These games combine the sport of golf with characters, themes, and gameplay elements from the Mario franchise.

Typically, Mario Golf games feature a range of playable characters from the Mario universe, each possessing unique stats and abilities that affect their performance on the golf course. Courses often incorporate hazards, obstacles, and environments inspired by locations within the Mario universe, such as Bowser's Castle or Yoshi's Island.

Gameplay generally follows the basic rules of golf, but often includes special shots, power-ups, and multiplayer modes to enhance the experience. Story modes are also common, where players can develop their character, unlock new content, and compete in tournaments.
