User:Technetium/Special Shot (Mario Golf Super Rush)

In Mario Golf: Super Rush, Special Shots can only be used when the energy gauge is full, similar to Mario Tennis Aces. There are four different types of Special Shots: "Strike" shots are capable of blasting away balls hit by other players on impact; "Stinger" shots can launch the ball straighter and farther than "Strike" shots; "Skipper" shots can bounce the golf ball three times, with the third one landing on the target; and the rest that use none of these labels can create special abilities that affect the floor like ice, lightning, and bombs. Special Shots are also capable of giving balls status effects for their next shot, impacting how straight they roll.

When the player triggers the Special Shot, they first see them prepare for their shot by performing an action, and by activating the Special Shot, they can be seen using external forces or special powers. The table below lists all separate names used for the Special Shots as revealed by the Toad commentators, along with a description for the action each character carries out to perform the shot, both before and while activated.

List of Special Shots

Image	Special Shot	Character	Pre-action	Action	Impact on balls
	Super Star Strike	Mario	Readies himself by clenching his fists and slightly crouches.	A Super Star appears on top of Mario, and he jumps to activate it. He lands back on the ground with a serious expression, and swings the ball with speed and power. The ball rises, and drops sharply downwards.	Blasts away balls in impact zone.
	Ice Flower Freeze	Luigi	Readies himself by retrieving an Ice Flower in his right arm, and looks at the camera, saying "Ha ha!"	Luigi uses the Ice Flower he got from before activating the Special Shot, striking a pose with his left arm up. He spins to gain momentum, and hits the ball with power. The ball travels in the usual angle.	Freezes the ground in impact zone. Balls that hit the ice will bounce, and in Speed Golf, the surface becomes slippery when someone runs on it.
