Is Mario Golf - GBA Tour still worth playing in 2026?
Mario Golf Advance Tour, also released as GBA Tour in Japan, doubles down on Camelot's wager by leaning further into the RPG side. The player raises a human character through a club, unlocks courses, climbs tournaments and can connect the save to the GameCube version to exchange data. The ball feel is exemplary in its precision and the courses lend themselves to long form strategic puzzling. Most likely the finest portable golf game of the GBA era for fans of the Camelot ecosystem.
