The game features eight playable Mario characters in all, four of which have to be unlocked. There are also even more exclusive human characters that [[Camelot Software Planning|Camelot]] made for the game. The two main characters in ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'' can be transferred to the [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' if the Player uses the GBA to GameCube link cable. Star versions of the Mario characters can be unlocked by beating them in a Character Match, which increases distance but decreases impact. Character stats can also be altered by using Custom Clubs that have been obtained in the Story mode. Character statistics are listed below.<br>

|align="left"|"''All in all, Mario Golf is an excellent adaptation of the [[Nintendo 64|N64]] title, and it's a [[Game Boy]] experience that stands well on its own. The music is even reflective of the N64's - it varies, depending on how well you're doing, and it's constant without being annoying. The only thing missing, audiowise, are the taunts, and frankly, you'll probably do just fine on your own.''"
|align="left"|"''Mario Golf: Advance Tour makes good on the legacy of Mario Golf games that have preceded it. The gameplay is easy to pick up, but it has enough depth and diversity to stay interesting, and there's a nice variety of both realistic and fantasy-themed courses to play on. Players who take their golf seriously may be put off by some of the game's outlandish obstacles and its playful aesthetic, but if these characteristics don't bother you, you'll be treated to the most accomplished game of golf to hit the Game Boy Advance.''"
