    Advance Tour offers much more in terms of longevity and variety than "Toadstool Tour" did, but on the other hand, doesn't do it quite as slickly.

    Gamestyle found itself continually muttering "one more round" despite having completed our fifth one in a row. If it can make golf interesting, it must be doing something right.

    As both a companion to the Cube version – with which the game links up – and a standalone game, Advance Tour has more than enough to keep you satisfied. [Sept 2004, p.121]

    Did you get a chance to play "Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour" on the GameCube? If you liked that game, prepare to fall in love with this one.

    Stuffed with extra modes, supporting character upload to GC Toadstool Tour and bundled with a wireless adapter, Advance Tour is great value, but it's also rather clumsy and bland. Only in the minigames, when Mario and company show up both in person and in spirit … does it really find a life of its own. [July 2004, p.109]

    Major improvement over the Mario Golf GBC game, but suffers from using the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour controls. Double Battles areMajor improvement over the Mario Golf GBC game, but suffers from using the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour controls. Double Battles are exceptionally awful as your Partner becomes a massive liability holding you back. The game becomes super broken with ultra long hitting clubs, making an Albatrosss/Double Eagle far easier to get than a Hole in One in the exact polar opposite to Mario Golf GBC and real life. Great soundtrack and story, but the controls and super broken ultra long range clubs hurt the final score massively.… Full Review »
