Mario Golf blends rpg elements with the great game of golf. You start out  by creating a character then putting points into different skills. As you  play courses, practice, or enter contests you gain experience and your  character goes up in levels. This earns you more points to put into each  skill level. The graphics are wonderful for a game boy game and the  controls are simple and easy to learn. Four courses are available, each  with a different theme, and tons of mini games in practice areas help  change up the game play. The game is one of the best golf games I have ever  played and can be very addicting. If you have a game boy and like golf at  all, do yourself a favor and get this game.
