Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.
North America / Europe
Now this is very much in line with the Mario Golf series that we all know and love. Mario stands centre stage — the same model as we see on the N64 cover — with his club extended over his shoulder after hitting what we can only assume was a belter of a shot (he looks happy enough about it, at least). The logo sits overhead while the course setting blurs into the background. It’s simple, but it’s effective.
Japan
This is a very different approach, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t intrigued. Japan’s cover (called ‘Mario Golf GB‘ in the region) opts for a more paired-back design than the Western variant, with a sketched aesthetic for Mario and his fellow golfers, whose giant heads float in the background. It’s understated, but it’s nice.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
