Source-derived summary

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour is a 2003 sports video game developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo for the GameCube. It is the sequel to the 1999 Nintendo 64 title Mario Golf, and is the third game in the Mario Golf series. It was released in North America on July 28, 2003, in Japan on September 5, 2003, and in PAL regions in 2004.

Toadstool Tour is a golf video game featuring characters and elements from the Mario series. There are 16 playable characters in total, each with a set of golfing statistics defining their style of play. The game's main mode involves the player competing in tournaments to obtain new features, although there are alternative modes consisting of a training session and variations to the golf format. This includes "Ring Attack", requiring the player to hit the ball through rings of varying sizes while remaining on or under par. The game also features connectivity with Mario Golf: Advance Tour using the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable.

Toadstool Tour received positive reviews upon release. Reviewers praised its visuals, sound, and variety of courses, although a perceived lack of innovation from its predecessor was criticised.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mario, Golf and Toadstool provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2746192. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
