History YMMV / MarioGolf

* GameBreaker: In the Advance Tour version, the Super POW Club and the Super-Straight club. The former increases distance by a great amount, which is well worth the higher height boost, the worse shot, and the worse control, as you have a chance at getting freaking Eagles '''consistently'''. The latter straightens out your shot completely, at the cost of some distance, but in this case it will be an advantage as pretty much the only time you could absolutely benefit from a bona fide straight shot is when you'e aiming for the pin and are hoping to get a chip-in: You won't need to calculate more than where the ball will land, the wind, and the lie on the green, skipping the angle, and the smaller drive distance makes it easier to manipulate how far the ball will go.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:
** Rosalina again in ''World Tour'' on two occasions: Getting an Eagle or better not only has her create a new galaxy but it is fully populated with planets and numerous Lumas happily surround her. The second is if she gets a bogey or loses a hole in Match play: She's about to faint when Luma catches her and props her up. She raises her head and smiles.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome:
** ''Mario Golf 64'' is loaded with great music, including:

*** Ring Shot has two -- [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEmIycvNp_8 the hole selection music]], as well as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TNdHbXGyII the music that plays in-game]]
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0_PftAkDg8 Shy Guy International Tournament]]

*** And, of course, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdN6qs0G_mA a pretty sweet rendition of the Mario theme]]

* OlderThanTheyThink: ''Super Mario Kart'' is often hailed as the game that gave birth to the Mario Sports series, but there was an NES ''Mario Open Golf'' game released a year before in 1991. It didn't catch on so the Mario Sports series didn't really become popular until the Kart games.

* BrokenBase: The announcement that ''World Tour'' on the 3DS will feature DLC and a season pass. The DLC involves three content packs that add more courses and more characters, though only one pack is being released day 1, while the others will be released in the weeks following release. Some fans don't really mind that the game is getting DLC since Nintendo emphasized in the press releases that the game will still be fully featured with the same amount of courses and holes as previous games. Others, however, immediately hear "day 1 DLC" and think Nintendo is just playing FollowTheLeader in regards to how other companies release DLC.

Can cross into FanDumb territory though with some people not realizing that only ''one'' pack is day 1, and that this isn't the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening first]] [[NewSuperMarioBros2 time]] Nintendo's released DLC in a similar manner.

* FanDumb: Many people who are complaining about the DLC in Mario Golf: World Tour are saying that it means there will be no unlockable characters. If they did any research on the game, they'd see quite clearly that there are 4 characters to unlock in the game.

** Rosalina gets several in ''World Tour'' whenever she gets a Birdy or Eagle by, oh... ''celebrating by creating a brand new galaxy!''

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Kamek and Toad being playable in ''World Tour'' was met with cheers, but a bigger hurrah came when it was revealed [[SuperMarioGalaxy Rosalina]] and [[NewSuperMarioBrosU Nabbit]] would be appearing as DLC characters.
** Fans were also happy to hear [[TheBusCameBack Toadette]] was back as a DLC character after a long absence from spin-offs as well.
** The DLC courses in ''World Tour''? They're based on the courses from ''MarioGolf64''. Half of them have been changed to fit [[SuperMarioGalaxy newer]] [[NewSuperMarioBrosU Mario games]], but that didn't stop the positive reception.
*** Toad's Highlands even has the original music!

* FanService: An extremely mild version given that it's a NoHuggingNoKissing game but the very fact that in a game where everyone dresses modestly and halfway formally, the women (Plum, Peach, Maple, and Daisy) wear shorts to show off their legs counts given that they are all good looking by Mario universe standards.

* FetishFuel: This goes into EXTREME YMMV territory, but Maple has attracted this for various reasons. On one hand, she as been described as a "hot surfer girl" on a Let's Play due to her accent. Also we can't forget the fact that she can kick most guys' asses at golf, and she wears a ligthtly FanService-y outfit. And she has a BobHaircut which alone is FetishFuel for some. Basically she's a girl that can have short hair, kick ass, and still like a cute and laid back surfer girl/ValleyGirl.
