A Korean [[Animesque]] Massively Multiplayer online golf game with RPG elements, one of which '''is''' an [[Fun with Acronyms|RPG]] (in this case ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Rocket Propelled
The game takes place on Pangya Island, a [[Magical Land|fantasy world]] which once came under the assault of the [[Big Bad|Dark Lord]], who tried to drain the power of life out of the island/world through a magical barrier. There was one small hole in the barrier, through which the energy was being drained, and the island's sages discovered that a ball of magic directed into that hole could break the barrier. Unfortunately, the ball couldn't be handled directly after it was made - [[Excuse Plot|you could hit it with a stick]], but every hit would weaken its power. Ultimately, a hero from the "real world" Earth succeeded at accomplishing this feat, and the Dark Lord was defeated.
The game played in honor of that struggle and victory is called ''[[Pangya]]'', and players are invited from Earth as well, since that's where the hero came from.
Tecmo published a port of the game for the Nintendo Wii, which was titled ''Super Swing Golf'' for American release, and removed the "Massively Multiplayer" part from the game, making it a standalone game that anyone can play alone or in local multiplayer. Story modes are introduced and each character model got their own personalities. A sequel followed along similar lines. A PSP version also exists, published by Tomy as ''Pangya: Fantasy Golf''. This version expands massively on the storyline, personalities and playable cast, making a number of the MMO/Wii caddies playable as golfers and adding a few original characters on top of that - at the cost of the newest MMO character and about a third of the courses.

* [[Airplane Arms]]: Lola/Lolo runs like this when chasing the ball.
* [[Allegedly Free Game]]: You really don't have to spend money to play Pangya, but a lot of the best clothing and gear (and several caddies) can only be purchased with real money.
