News: Nintendo reveals three pieces of downloadable content that will be available for Mario Golf: World Tour on the Nintendo 3DS.

Mario Golf: World Tour is set to come out on the 3DS in approximately a week and a half and Nintendo has revealed their DLC plans for this new game. The new Mario Golf will launch with 10 courses and 126 holes which is comparable to previous games in the franchise. There will also be multiplayer modes as well as regional and worldwide tournaments. If you want even more courses and golf holes then you can also buy the three DLC packs that will be released

The downloadable content for the game will be released in three separate packs. The first pack will be the Mushroom Pack and will launch on May 2 with the game. The Flower Pack will launch in late May and the Star Pack will arrive in June. Each pack includes two new 18 hole courses and a new playable character. Players will receive Toadette with the Mushroom Pack, Nabbit with the Flower Pack and Rosalina with the Star Pack.

“We’re letting fans expand their experience with Mario Golf: World Tour,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Some players might be content hitting the links on the numerous courses already included with the game, while others will appreciate the option of being able to add to their fairway fun with new courses and characters.”

Each pack will be available for $5.99 from Toad’s Booth, which can be found in the main menu of the game. Mario Golf: World Tour owners who know they want to buy all three add-on packs can buy a Season Pass at a discounted rate of $14.99 starting May 2. Season Pass holders will get access to each new pack as it becomes available, and will receive a special bonus of Gold Mario as a playable character at the time of purchase. Gold Mario has a special Golden Flower shot that gains coins for every yard it travels. For those who purchase all three packs individually, Gold Mario will also be available once all packs have been released. Nintendo will also offer Trial Tournaments for consumers interested in trying out a sample of the downloadable courses before deciding to purchase. Consumers who own the game and download the Trial Pack will be able to participate in these online tournaments.
