Golf[ is a golf video game developed by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was originally released for the Famicom in Japan in 1984, with a port to the Nintendo VS. System as VS. Golf or Stroke and Match Golf, released in arcades internationally,[3] followed by another arcade version called VS. Ladies Golf.[7] The original was re-released for the NES in North America in 1985, and for the Famicom Disk System in 1986 in Japan.
Golf was the best-selling sports game on the NES/Famicom, and was re-released across many years for different Nintendo consoles. It was hidden in the Nintendo Switch firmware as an Easter egg as a tribute to the game's programmer, the late Satoru Iwata.[8]
Gameplay
The main player wears a white shirt and shoes with blue pants and uses a white ball, while the second player wears a red shirt and shoes with black pants and uses a red ball. The player selects either single stroke play or the two-player selections of doubles stroke play or match play. The player is then placed at the tee of the first of 18 holes.
In 1991, Nintendo identified the golfer as Mario in a gameplay guide book.[9] Nintendo's Wii game Captain Rainbow identifies the golfer as Ossan,[10] which happens to be one of the generic hero names during the development of Donkey Kong.[11] The Game Boy conversion would feature Mario on the Western cover art, but not the Japanese version
