History YMMV / MarioGolf

* DesignatedVillain: Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser in the ''Toadstool Tour'' intro. At worst - Wario and Waluigi just act arrogant, but don't actually do anything underhanded. Likewise - Bowser just minds his own business until one of their balls gives him a black eye, and his RoaringRampageOfRevenge only targets them instead of Mario and co. Yet the narrative paints it as their just desserts when Mario's ball causes them to get nuked by a Bob-omb.

* SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome: Waluigi's eagle animation shows him performing a Michael Jackson-like dance, Many real life gamers grew fond of Waluigi for this moment.

** The sound of the ball sinking into the pin, especially after a tricky putt or chipping in a shot.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Rosalina 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.

* MemeticMutation: From the Latin American commercial, Mario saying "¡Se cayó mi Game Boy!"

* ReplacementScrappy: Starting with ''World Tour'', a Mii of the player's choice replaces the OriginalGeneration characters from the GBC game and ''Advance Tour''. Said original characters have likely been ExiledFromContinuity because of Nintendo's mandates surrounding the ''Mario'' series. Due to the EnsembleDarkhouse status of these characters, it's naturally rubbed a few fans the wrong way.

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: Anytime you get a birdie or better.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The human characters from ''Mario Golf 64'' have a bit of following among fans who wish they would appear again in a future installment.

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: Some of the sounds that characters make if they miss a putt in ''World Tour'', most notably Daisy's petulant "No!" and Bowser Jr.'s "Yeow!" and "Ow-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa!"

* 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 was released day 1, while the others being released in the weeks following release. Some fans didn'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 heard "day 1 DLC" and think Nintendo is just playing FollowTheLeader in regards to how other companies release DLC.

* UncannyValley: Due to it being early in the 3D Games era, the human characters with their undetailed eyes and unmoving mouths attracted a bit of this reaction.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: ''Mario Golf 64'' is loaded with great music, including:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhAVJc6yjnQ Replay Mode]]
** Ring Shot has two -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEmIycvNp_8 the hole selection music]], as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TNdHbXGyII the music that plays in-game]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0_PftAkDg8 Shy Guy International Tournament]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHyhTCl1itE Tournament Results]] -- made all the more sweeter if you win.

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

* 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. Oh, and if you hook up Advance Tour with Toadstool tour, you can use them in that game too.
* HilariousInHindsight: Wario's Albatross/Hole-in-One animation, where he summons a Power Star a la ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', since he went on to be playable in ''Super Mario 64 [[UpdatedRerelease DS]]''.
* 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.
** ''World Tour'' was treated by fans like the first time Nintendo has done DownloadableContent. They had actually done it before with ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2'' as well as ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''.
