Mobile Golf follows a similar path to Mario Golf , with a storyline that sees four normal golfers trained in an RPG-like fashion. They must compete and improve their skills before unlocking other characters, including champions and more familiar Mario characters.
The gameplay is largely the same as Mario Golf , with a focus on golfing skills and strategy. Players can control their chosen golfer and compete against others in various courses, aiming to achieve the lowest score possible. The game also features an RPG-like progression system, where players can unlock new characters, clubs, and other upgrades.
