What genre is this game? Puzzle? Sport?

Also other retro games that aren't so easily as divided into genre.

wikipedia says it's a golf game but from the pictures it seems to be not your typical one
i don't even know what this series' genre would be though

Yeah golf probably would be the closest bet. Warioware I guess I would call a mini game collection or party games of sorts.

It's really more like billiards than golf.

It's billiards meets golf meets pinball meets "who was smoking what when they thought this up and ran with it?"

They at least realized the idea was too out there to stand on its own and grafted Kirby onto it before it released.

It can be fun with a bro on a couch and some beers but the single player is weak.

Puzzle seems fair. It's obviously golf but it feels weird to call it a sports game. Physics-based puzzles.

Is it an action game? Is it a platformer? Is it a run and gun? Is it a precursor to immersive sims?

Yes.

>spend weeks unlocking extra stages, Kirby dancing, and sound test
>course select is locked behind gold medal completion which basically means getting consecutive hole in one for most of the courses
This game is great but absolutely brutal to complete

Unlocking the extra stages for multiplayer was very satisfying
Used to be the only game me and a friend played together a couple years ago
Going for gold is absolutely not worth it

>gameplay is focused on doing simple tasks repeatedly ad infinitum to see for how long you can continue playing
it's an arcade game

Not the same as microgames, though. Yes, I know the euro title. Europeans are gay and retarded, however.
