Item Description

Donkey Kong is your banker. Princess Toadstool carries your clubs. And every time a drive sails out of bounds, Toad trots out holding a blue O.B. flag. NES Open Tournament Golf dresses a serious golf game in the Mushroom Kingdom's cast, and the combination is still a pleasure. Mario tees off as player one with Princess Toadstool as his caddie, while Luigi takes the second controller with Princess Daisy on his bag.

Each shot starts from an overhead view where you line up your aim and pick a club, then the game switches to a view behind the golfer as the ball takes flight. Swinging uses the classic three-tap power meter: one press starts the swing, the second sets the power, the third decides how much hook or slice you put on it. Three courses, set in the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom, can be played as stroke play or match play, and solo match play pits you against a ladder of rivals that starts with Luigi and climbs through Steve, Mark and Tony to Billy, the toughest of the bunch.

The heart of the game is the tournament circuit. You compete against a field of 36 golfers for prize money, Donkey Kong keeps track of your winnings and comments when you hit milestones like your first million, and your progress saves to the cartridge so a season can stretch across many evenings. In the Club House you can even rename everyone on the tournament roster, and many of the default names belong to the people who made the game.

Those names point to a remarkable bit of Nintendo history. The game was a co-production between Nintendo R&D2 and HAL Laboratory, directed by Kenji Miki of the original NES Golf, and it was Satoru Iwata's first experience developing a game from start to finish. It was also the first video game work of Eiji Aonuma, the future face of The Legend of Zelda series, who is credited on its sprites. As the third entry in what became the Mario Golf series, it is the direct ancestor of the Mario Golf games that followed, and it plays like a full golf season packed onto an NES cartridge.

About the game

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.
