The game starts off with a quick, basic tutorial. Honestly, it doesn't tell you much more than how to hit the ball and adjust the camera. However, if you look into Toad's Booth, you can find more in depth tutorials and the area to purchase DLC. The main game modes are Quick Round where you can choose from Single Player, VS., and Tournament play. All of these are great for practicing the courses and new characters or playing with your friends locally or online against people from around the world. Side note: The character selection is surprisingly solid, with 16 characters (4 unlock-able, plus Star versions of everybody) and the option to play as your Mii.
Speaking of playing as your Mii, the main single player mode is the Castle Club. Here you can run around a virtual castle stuffed with Mario themed fountains, hedges, characters, etc. and tons of rooms with a variety of purposes. The shop for example is where you can buy gear (clubs, clothes, and more) all of which can boost your Mii's stats, usually at the expense of another. These are purchased using coins that you will earn from playing in a variety of tournaments.
And the tournaments are great! The difficulty ramps up smoothly, but still presents quite a challenge if you want to succeed. Part of the challenge, for me at least, is trying to beat my own records and play a hole flawlessly. The gameplay is deep as it was in Toadstool Tour, where you can manipulate your draw/fade, spin, and power all while accounting for terrain, slope, wind, and more. Once you add in some of the Mario themed items, things only get more ridiculous and fun.
I did find the graphics to be surprisingly good. They won't impress, but they are more than serviceable for a sports game and the courses themselves are beautiful. The holes are all well designed and with plenty of content, 126 holes spread over three 18-hole courses and four 9-hole courses, you'll have plenty of replayability and that's without the online.
Sadly, I have not yet tried the online as I'm living in University housing and my 3DS cannot connect to the internet here. However, I will update my review in about a week once I've had a chance to try out online modes and form an opinion. Also, I do have to give this back to my girlfriend soon, since my copy has yet to arrive from Amazon :)
Mario Golf: World Tour for the Nintendo 3Ds is a return to Mario and his sports time in action, as he makes his way through numerous courses of golf from traditional styled course, all the way to Mario-themed courses from Cheep-Cheep Seas, to Desert flats where you could easily hit giant mole, to Wiggler caterpillars that could make you and break you on the links. You can play with any of your favorites from Mario, Yoshi and Donkey Kong, to even having your Mii's come along for the ride and sink a few eagles. There are new additions as well, where you can buy power-ups for better shots, and download extra content to have even more fun. Graphically, the game is a true return to form and the courses look well-dedicated. The control also delivers well, where as was the control with Mario Tennis was a bit awkward with the motion controlled gameplay. Still, there are also new add-ons by playing against others online and buying downloadable content which can help you improve your trophy case, or if you want to have more fun in the game of golf.
Overall, Mario Golf was overall absent from the Wii, because of the demands for the Wii Sports games. Still, it is absolutely nice to have a god game that is fun and definitely relaxing, especially when there haven't been many good Nintendo games out this past year. While some are eagerly awaiting Super Smash Brothers for the 3DS and Mario Kart 8 too come out for the Wii U, I definitely would recommend Mario Golf: World Tour. It is a fun game that will tide your over.
