Who’s the very critical member of this podcast? Is it Justin? Basically this guy knows his Mario Golf. All his critiques are spot on and 100% accurate. The more I go back and play Toadstool Tour, the more I see how sad this new MG is compared to a game made nearly 20 years prior.
The new hitting mechanic lacks technical depth, the power shots are pointless, the “courses” are one large map instead of individually curated holes as in previous entries, and so much more. A “golf adventure” is unnecessary and in no way compensates for the myriad fun modes which used to play a significant role in Mario Golf. Also, this game is completely devoid of charming celebration animations and voice clips. Just a cheap rushed sad attempt to add a new entry into an established and beloved franchise. Total disappointment.
