"Toadstool Tour: Early Impressions"

From waking up, getting dressed (new Leeds shirt, hurrah, and checking downstairs for the post, I've been playing on Mario Golf. Bear in mind that I have never touched the 64 version, and, therefore, I can't compare it to the earlier version or whatever.

For the last hour or so, I've been playing through a tournament (on Laiktu), playing the Ring Challenges and just finished a match-up against Luigi, and, in two words, I can accuratelky describe it as a golf sim - above average. If this was back on the 64, it'd be superb as a golf sim. But now, with the new ways to hit the ball with the analogue stick, it justr looks aged.

But, if you're buying a Mario game to be a simulator then there is something up with you, seriously. Being able to 'compliment' the other player and fill his screen with 'let's go!', 'you're the best' by button smashing is a good touch, and could do well in multiplayer, and the range of characters bodes well for playability.

I'm going back for another go. I'll post back with some more thoughts later on.

Rikoss, you shall love it.

Just got it for £20 from GAME. Been waiting all month for it to appear on DotD and it sold out in about 3 minutes. Yay.

Just unlocked the star tournaments, and gone back to do Peaches (got 6 under par, 1 save)

Genius, genius game.

I got a flukey eagle the first day I had the game.
The first course, whatever it's called, with normal Yoshi, On a par 4. The second shot bounced off the pin then rolled in with the top spin.

Almost got another Albatross earlier today. It was on the Peach's Invitational course, but I'm not sure what hole. I think it was the first Par 5. Got an Eagle anyway and locked it in the replays section so later on I'll go and find the shot again. But I was actually about a foot away from the biggest fluke of a shot ever.

:-(

I am using Star Luigi, but only because I haven't unlocked most of them yet.

I go Yoshi also.

Bowser is good for distance, but the swerve + wind = unpredictable shot outcome. So he's a nono.

Star Yoshi. Only time I've used anyone else was Mario when I had to play against regular Yoshi to beat him and unlock Star Yoshi.

What character did you use chips?

Yeah yeah YEAH!

Just completed Bowser Championship, not only did I complete it, I finished at 7 under. Ooooh yeah.


Unlocked Star Tourny... this will be fun.

Best. Game. Ever.
