Golf (solo cartuccia)

The way the character’s little swing animation plays out before each shot really sells the game’s charm, and having both American and Japanese courses gives it solid variety for such an early handheld title. I’ve sunk a good few hours into it and the difficulty curve feels fair too.

The sprite animations on the character selection screen are full of personality, which makes choosing a golfer genuinely fun. I've spent hours on the American course alone, and the challenge level feels perfectly balanced for quick pick-up-and-play sessions on the bus.

The menus feel like pure Nintendo charm, and the way the character bounces after a shot still makes me grin. Both courses play differently enough that I keep switching between them, and it’s honestly the most relaxing game on my GameBoy.
