'''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''' is the [[Gamecube]] successor to the ''[[Mario Golf]]'' games and is the first of the Mario sports game to be released for the Gamecube (just as ''Mario Golf'' had been first on the [[Nintendo 64]]).

=Story=

The game does not have an overarching story, but it does notably have an extended intro which acts as a type of in-game short. Most of the characters appear playing golf, with the focus being on [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]]'s hijinks and their attempts to escape [[Bowser]] after accidentally inspiring his wrath. The short ends with the three of them being charred by a [[Bob-Omb]] explosion. A similar type of intro was later made for ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''.

=Gameplay=

This game readjusts the gameplay from the previous game and boasts Gamecube graphics as well as various new characters, both initially available and hidden. There are a variety of single player and multiplayer modes for up to four players, and the player could choose whether to play on normal golf courses or ones with Mario-related obstacles. The Tournament mode is the standard single-player golf competition. There are several other modes with variations on golf games and special challenges that can be completed to unlock more content.

Like ''Mario Golf'', ''Toadstool Tour'' has a handheld counterpart that it can connect with, but using the GBA-Gamecube Link Cable. This process could be used to transfer the player characters [[Neil]] and [[Ella]] from the ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour|Advance Tour]]'' to the Gamecube game.

==Playable Characters==

The following characters are playable from the start of the game:

*[[Mario]]

As mentioned above, Neil and Ella could also be transferred from ''Advance Tour''.

=Legacy=

==Sequels==

It was accompanied by ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', which serves as a companion game. The next ''Mario Golf'' game would not come until 2014, when ''[[Mario Golf: Open Tour]]'' was released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]].
