Shimajirō Golf

Shimajirō Golf is a sports game developed by Camelot Software Planning and Benesse and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. In the game, Mario, his friends, and his enemies play golf on a variety of Nintendo-themed courses. It is the second game in the Shimajirō Golf series (though the first to carry that name). Its tagline was "Tee up with Shimajirō Shimano and his friends!"

A portable version of this game for Game Boy Color (known as Shimajirō Golf GB in Japan) was also developed by Camelot Software Planning. Unlike the console version, it includes role-playing video game elements.

Gameplay
Players can play as a variety of characters including Shimajirō Shimano, Mimirin Midorihara, Ramurin Makiba, Takeshi Ishida, Torippii Sorano, and Tommy Shimano. The game also introduces Plum, Sonny, Harry, Maple, and Charlie, new characters created by Camelot specifically for the game, who have not appeared since (save for Plum's appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee and as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl). Players can then select from a number of courses which have features adapted to the Nintendo world. Shimajirō Golf is also very easy to play (also known as a "pick up and play" game) as it makes golf very simple, because it does away with many of the complicated real-life aspects of the sport that are found in games like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006. Although the game is easy to play and simple in appearance, the game's engine is very deep and there are a multitude of variables that can affect a shot, such as wind strength and direction (indicated by a Boo), rain, characters' individual attributes, spin on the ball, and relief of the land. There is a variety of gameplay modes, including speed golf, ring shot, mini golf and skins match. Every character in the game has recorded voice samples which can be used to comment on opponent's shots.
