Hmmm...
To do:
  • See if the debug mode does anything else.
  • Document what each flag does.
  • Document all of the possible values for each map in Warp Debug Menu (the number that can go from 0-99). These numbers DO have significance.
  • There are some unused maps and test maps accessible from the warp debug. Document these.
  • Document the unreleased Special Clubs meant to be unlocked via event distributions and the menu combination to the Get Clubs screen.
  • Can someone confirm that this is all the sixth unlock option does?
  • Document the pre-release version of the game.Source

A handheld tie-in for the GameCube'sMario Golf: Toadstool Tour, this game removes most of the Mario characters to make room for the story mode.

Your goal? Become the best golf player ever!

These features are unique to this game:

Some other things to do:

  • PressingSelect on the main menu gets you this: (Tip:To save these effects, as soon as you've selected your option(s), go to story mode and save and quit.)

Mario Golf Advance Tour Unlock Screen.PNG

  • This screen has multiple options:
    • The first option seems to activate all of them at once. (It also adds the Nintendo GameCube option to the Records Menu.)
    • The second option seems to unlock all characters, including the star forms. (It also defeats all of the character matches.)
    • The third option unlocks all tournaments, including the Star Tournaments. It also unlocks the last - holes of Elf's Short Course.
    • The fourth option seems to unlock all of the Star Courses.
    • The fifth option seems to unlock all clubs.
    • The sixth option doesn't seem to do anything but beat both the Match Plays for Marion.

There are also a few things inaccessible via the debug mode mentioned above, so use one of the following codes and pressStart to access:

Broken Debug Menu

08070214:08075701 (US)08070214:080755DD (EU)

A debug menu where none of the options seem to work. The options listed are: Status Confirmation, Initial Settings and Name Entry, List of Taunts and Supports, Experience Gained, Save, Load. If the debug mode is on, L and R buttons will also exit screen.

Sound Test

Yep, that's a sound test, all right.

Unused Japanese Text

Hmmm...
To do:
List the rest of the strings.

The English ROM (U) has a number of Japanese strings.

There is data that Buzz and Helen were to be a playable character, but dropped in the final version. However, their programming is incomplete. As a result, their graphics were displayed as a placeholder character Neil, and unvoiced, and the icon is displayed as Neil (Buzz) and Ella (Helen) respectively.

Test Rooms

These rooms can be accessed via debug mode's Warp Debug Menu.

YAMTEST

    • Interacting with the bottom trophy will open the level-up screen for your character with one level to spend. You can back out withB.
    • The middle one is the same, but with 5 levels.

  • These are copies of actual rooms. They also have some objects that give you level-ups.

TEST0-7

  • If you enter any of these rooms with an entrance value of 0, there will be a chicken who, upon being interacted with, will send you to a hole, but sometimes you'll be so far off the map, you'll always get an OB.

MINIGAME/MINIGAME2

  • Both of these seem to use course maps, and contain tiny signs that will play the overworld enemy (Klepto, etc.) animations.
