The wait for Mario Golf: Advance Tour has been quite a long one, but it appears that the long wait will not have been in vain. New details released about the title have revealed that there is a lot of work going into the title.
The biggest announcement is that the game will come bundled with the new Wireless Link adapter, which is also currently included with Pokèmon Fire Red and Leaf Green. The game features a bevy of modes including story, quick play, and multiplayer. Players will also have access to status, options, and a golf dictionary.
The story mode, which continues from the previous game, lets players chose from either a male or female golfer to play as. The other gender will be created along side as a partner. Both will gain experience as the game continues. Though they only begin with seven clubs, players will be able to expand their collection up to 16 by linking with other players (through wired or wireless link). Also, one character will create clubs for players later on in the game.
On the connectivity side of things, players will be able to transfer their characters from Advance Tour up to Mario Golf on the GameCube. There is also a cheer/jeer editor that will allow you to expand your list of congratulatory and harassing remarks. Finally, there are courses that can only be unlocked if the two versions of the game are linked together.
