Mario Sports (Ohga Shrugs)

Mario Sports games are a small, loosely defined series of various sports games starring the Nintendo mascot.

History
During the NES-era, Mario had a few sports games, most notably two Golf games titled simply Golf and NES Open Tournament Golf. Since then, however, sports games starring Mario have been far rarer than those starring his rival mascot, Sonic. However, a few have been released, including 2009's Mario Hoops from Enix, the more diverse 2010 game Mario Sports Mix from the same company.
