    Great game! High replay value with lots of extras, hidden features, and hidden characters! Some courses are a bit easy, but loads of fun and the perfect game to whip out and play a quick 18 on!

    This is one of the highest quality gba titles to date. The graphics are great, and the sound is borrowed from the gc version so it's more technical than most. There's plenty to do 1 player, and nice to know there's multiplayer with just 1 gba.

    GREAT game. Crazy fun, even moreso than the GC version, and that's saying a lot. I'd recommend this to anyone.

    This game is amazing. I would kill 1000 kittens to get a sequel to this game for the Wii. It's probably the most fun I have had playing a single player sports game ever.

    Nintendo at its best. So much content for a golf game! And it's a lot of fun

    Major 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 GBCMajor 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.… Expand

    This game exact is exactly what I'm looking for.

    They only downfall that I have about the game are the RPG elements, where you have to go through the whole map and carry on through the dialogue with the many background characters, before you start a golf match or a training session or whatnot.

    It is this exploration of every nook and cranny of the world that provides a surprisingly lengthy gaming experience. You will want to discover every mini-game, talk to every person, and earn every prize you can throughout the land.

    Because of its masterful pacing, detail, and variety, Advance Tour ranks up there with the champions of GBA games. Recommended even if you have zero interest in golf. [July 2004, p.87]
