Camelot also developed a Game Boy Color version[b], which adds role-playing elements.

Although the game is easy to play and simple in appearance, its engine has many variables that can affect a shot, such as wind strength and direction (indicated by a Boo), rain, characters' individual attributes, spin on the ball, and relief of the land.

The Transfer Pak connects the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color versions, to exchange characters and data.

[5] The Nintendo 64 version received "universal acclaim", according to review aggregator website Metacritic.

IGN called the GBC version "an absolutely brilliant rendition of golf, and a perfect game for the go".
