This page details one or more prototype versions of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.

To do:

  • A Japanese demo from Gekkan Nintendo Tentou Demo Disc October 2003.
  • Double check if this is an E3 build.
  • Very certain that there's a lot more which have yet to be documented here, such as unused content.
  • Way more audio differences.

It has more reverb and additional melodies can be heard which doesn't exist in the final.

Present on the disc, file B/T/K says "MATCH" surrounded by many stars. Likely an early placeholder for the character match game mode. It has no animation. MGTT-Match.png
