Much like Hot Shots Golf and Mario Golf, this golf game involves cartoon characters instead of reality.
You can play a 4-player match (basically take turns and finish with the highest score), or, if you don't have any friends at the time, opt for story mode, where you choose your warrior , distribute skill points (in areas of power, precision, control, etc.) and make a career (i.e. go from amateur to pro, win as many tournaments as possible, etc. )
