|align="left"|"''With Mario Golf: Advance Tour, Camelot proves it has that shrewd appreciation of what keeps people coming back to the likes of Toadstool Tour, {{wp|Tiger Woods}} and the console Links - and also like those games it renders the sport with a degree of artistic licence. The result is a game that you can pick up and play, but won't necessarily be able to turn off and put down for several hours if you do, and the only drawbacks are that it sometimes looks a bit ropey, it doesn't quite manage to pull off the RPG idea completely, and the lack of a proper putting game detracts a little bit from the final few feet of every hole. But, in all honesty, if our [[Game Boy Advance#Game Boy Advance SP|SP]]'s battery hadn't run down last night and the power cable hadn't proved elusive, we might have sat up in bed playing it until we had piranha plants burnt into our retinas. As it is, we're up at dawn to try and convince you to buy it. Well, if you want portable golf, just do. Ho-kay?''"

==Trivia==

*The BGMs played during the chance for getting a Par (or higher) and Bogey (or lower) are swapped compared when they are played in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.  

*Wario and Waluigi's voices are played incorrectly when selecting them in the character menu. Wario uses Waluigi's voice and vice-versa.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4UALgsu14M&t=150 Video]</ref>
