What you need to knowA new video game in the Mario Golf series is released in the UK this week. Mario Golf: World Tour for Nintendo's 3DS is the sixth game in the golf series, and the first release in a decade, since 2004's Mario Golf Advance Tour for Game Boy.
In World Tour, players control popular Mario characters, including Luigi and Donkey Kong, in simulated golf games where they aim to hit a target hole with the lowest number of strokes. Some stages are modelled on real-world courses, while others are Super Mario themed environments.
