NES Open Tournament Golf
Also known as: Mario Open Golf
NES Open Tournament Golf is an NES game featuring Mario characters. As the name of the game implies, it is a golf game and was one of the first golfing games in the Mario series. You can play a round of golf on one of three different courses. One or two players can play in the U.S., Japan, or the U.K. and choose a stroke or match play game. Gameplay is from two point of views, starting with an overhead view allowing you to set up the shot and choose a club, then switching to a 3-D point of view. Hitting the ball uses the common power meter where tapping the button starts the meter, tap the button a second time to select the amount of power in the shot, then tap the button a third time to select the amount of slice or hook.

Description
About This Game
We all knew that Mario was a top-notch plumber, but did you know that he
could also be a world-class golfer? You can challenge another player in
Stroke, Match and Tournament modes. Play on three fantasy courses in the
USA, the UK and Japan and try to win a million dollars. Make sure you
keep an eye on the wind and distance to the hole before selecting your
club, or else you'll be racking up some high scores - which is exactly
what you don't want to do in this game. Whether you're a beginner or an
experienced golfer, NES Open Tournament Golf is perfect for those days
when you just can't get to the local golf course.
