Mario Golf: Super Rush

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Mario Golf: Super Rush is the sixth installment in the Mario Golf series, released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on June 25, 2021. It was first announced during a Nintendo Direct broadcast on February 17, 2021. The game introduces multiple modes, such as Speed Golf and Battle Golf, in which golfers must physically run to the ball in-between swings under time pressure, often alongside other players. Additionally, the game has a story mode similar to Mario Golf on the Game Boy Color and Mario Golf: Advance Tour, involving leveling up the player Mii's stats while going through a variety of unique challenges. The game departs from the three-press system present in the previous games of the series, instead having each swing involve two button presses, with the club type and terrain determining the accuracy of the shot.

Gameplay

The core gameplay follows the rules of golf: to hit the ball into the hole in the fewest number of strokes. Both sand traps and water hazards appear as obstacles depending on the course. Any player who hits the ball out of bounds or into a hazard receives a penalty stroke. The hole can be seen from afar by a glowing, blue pillar of light.

While preparing for a swing, the player can switch between available golf clubs and can view both the entire course from a bird's-eye view or scan the terrain ahead. The player can press minus to see more information on their currently-selected club. The bird's-eye view allows the player to see their current location, the hole, and a circle surrounding the player indicating their current club's yardage. Scanning shows the elevation and distance to the hole, as well as a cross-section view of the terrain slope. Pressing jc-right allows the player to set their aim while pressing jc-left resets the camera view. An alternative scan, activated by pressing R, allows the player to view the estimated landing zone from a higher point of view, showing the slope lines of the landing zone. Additional information such as the hole number, par number, total hole yardage, and wind speed and direction are all visible in the top-left corner. The hole is indicated by a tall blue pillar of light as well as a flag icon in the UI with arrows pointing to the hole. The player's current score and stroke number are also presented above their special shot gauge; normally yellow with a golf ball icon at the end, it is seen filling up in blue, with the ball becoming fiery, after sinking the ball into the hole. When the gauge is full, the player will be prompted to use their special shot as the L icon will flash below the gauge. There is also a mini-map showing the entire hole.

The shot gauge is now vertical, and bends to indicate how the shot trajectory will be affected by slopes. The green and hole are indicated on the shot gauge by checkered tiling and the flag, respectively. The player can press jc-right to initiate a shot or L for a special shot, when their special shot gauge is full. Pressing jc-left allows the player to set a shot type, including standard shot and half shot. While a standard shot is being set, the player can use leftstick to shape the shot, curving its trajectory, and they can also apply spin to the shot, including standard spin and super backspin. After a shot is taken, the side-view trajectory of the shot is displayed in yellow, with the air distance displayed in yellow and rolling distance displayed in blue. The hole can also be seen in this diagram, indicated by a flag icon. While the ball is moving, the player can hold jc-bottom to fast-forward its motion. Both button controls and motion controls may be used. For motion controls, the player will need to hold SR while swinging the Joy-Con. Characters can also be made lefties.

Speed Golf

In Speed Golf, players take shots at the same time and must race to their ball after each stroke, continuing this until it is sunk into the hole. Items along the way may help the player. Players also have access to character-specific skills such as dashes and special shots, and are seen dropping coins onto the course when being hit or when running into obstacles; losing coins decreases the player's special shot gauge, while collecting coins increases it. Both the player's stroke number and total time are recorded as their score, with 30 seconds to the total time added for each stroke taken. While running, players have a stamina gauge near their character that is normally green but turns red when low. The stamina gauge can be replenished by collecting hearts. Using a special dash immediately uses up a portion of the stamina gauge.

Battle Golf

In Battle Golf, four players compete in a stadium filled with nine holes and a number of obstacles to be the first player to sink three holes. In the stadium, players can collect coins and can even launch items such as Bananas and Bob-ombs with their golf club to damage their opponents.

Golf Adventure

In Golf Adventure, the player plays as their Mii. Starting with a basic amount of experience, the player can earn experience points by participating in practices and matches. Doing so grants the player skill points that can be used to upgrade their stats, such as Power (how far the ball can be driven), Stamina (how long the player can dash), Speed (how fast the player can run), Control (how straight the player can hit the ball), and Spin (how much the player can spin/shape shots), while experience points upgrade their level and overall Lead Rank. In the overworld, the player can interact with several characters, such as Goomba and Hammer Bro, who may provide the player with challenges. There will also be matches against the playable characters and boss fights. The player will also be able to collect coins. By winning tournaments, players will be able to obtain new clubs and outfits.

Story

Toadette, Boo, and Chargin' Chuck are watching the golf tournament on TV. After the TV is turned off, Birdo introduces the player's Mii character to the three, and explains that the Mii character is the fourth rookie in their class. After being introduced to the three and getting a night of sleep, the Mii is woken up by Birdo, who explains the Mii is late for their initiation ceremony.

Characters

Playable

There are a total of 19 playable characters as of version 3.0.0; more characters are planned to be added post-launch. Pauline, Chargin' Chuck, King Bob-omb, and Ninji are playable for the first time in the series, with Chargin' Chuck and Ninji also making their overall playable debuts. When selecting a character, players have the option to change their club set or dominant hand. Mii characters are also playable, with variable statistics. As of version 2.0.0, in August 2021, if the player achieved a rank of A- or higher in Ranked Match, they would unlock three alternate colors for Yoshi: red, blue, and yellow. In September 2021, the reward was changed to Boo wearing a visor, in October 2021, it was changed to three alternate colors for Toad: blue, green, and yellow, and in November 2021, it was changed to three alternate colors for Koopa Troopa: red, blue, and yellow.

Much like Mario Tennis Aces and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, most characters wear specific golfing outfits, with the exceptions being Yoshi, Boo, Donkey Kong, Chargin' Chuck, King Bob-omb, Toadette, Ninji, and Koopa Troopa. They also now carry their golf bag when moving on the course during Speed Golf.

All characters can unlock 2 additional Club Sets, Star and Super Star, at 1000 and 3000 Character Points respectivly. The Sets give characters additional power and spin at the cost of control.

In Speed Golf and Battle Golf, Star Characters are limited to the 3W as their strongest club and Super Star Characters are limited to the 5W as their strongest.

  • In Ranked Matches, you will be automatically matched with opponents as close as possible in distance and rank.
  • If there are only a few opponents available, you will be matched up even if there is some rank difference, but there is a handicap where higher ranked players will be behind you on the tee. If you can beat a higher ranked player, a bonus will be added to your monthly match points.
  • Your monthly match points, rank, and global ranking will be reset every month, but you will still be able to review your past records.
  • The game is divided into four categories: "Button Controls: Standard Golf", "Button Controls: Speed Golf", "Motion Controls: Standard Golf", and "Motion Controls: Speed Golf”.
  • Achieve a rank of "A-" or higher each month, you will be able to use a character with a special appearance as a bonus.

• Addition of "Toadette" as a playable character
  • Toadette has been added as a playable character that can be used in matches.

• Golf Course "New Donk City" Added
  • "New Donk City" from "Super Mario Odyssey" has been added as a playable golf course.
  • This is a short course with 18 holes, all of which are rated Par 3, but it offers the possibility of unique strategies such as bouncing the ball off the walls of buildings.
  • There are two difficulty levels to choose from, "Amateur" and "Pro", making the tees and greens of all 18 holes completely different.
• Adjusted Motion Controls
  • It is now easier to generate power when swinging with a full swing in mind.
  • Approach shots aiming at the cup position are now less likely to go wide.
  • The angle of the club is now reflected on the screen when you get into a position to hit the ball.

  • Course Select now displays the number of holes you need to play before you can play the next course.
  • The number of holes played before the next course can be played is now displayed in Course Select.
    • However, during online play, you may not be able to select it until you return to the main menu, even if you meet the conditions.
  • The default number of players (including COM) has been changed to two when playing with the "Stroke Play " and "Take Turns" rules in the Standard Golf menu of “Play Golf”.
  • Adjusted the search procedure for "Find a Room" in the online room menu of “Play Golf”.
  • In online play, even if a network error occurs in another player’s room, the game will now continue after the player is replaced with a COM player. The room will be disbanded if the hosting console has a network error, because the hosting console manages the game settings.
    • In Ranked Matches, if the hosting console has a communication error, it will be replaced by the COM and the game will continue.
  • A warning and countdown will be displayed 30 seconds before the end of the game.
  • Special Shots now pierce through tree foliage.
  • When playing with two players in split-screen mode on a single Nintendo Switch console, the screen of the player who scores first will no longer follow the other player.
  • Motion Controls has been changed so that the character will not automatically move when the pause menu is open during online play.
  • Adjusted the difficulty level of the goal to clear XC Golf at Ridgerock Lake.
  • Changes have been made to the game balance, and other issues, to make for a better play experience.

Ver. 3.0.0 (released September 23, 2021)

• “Koopa Troopa” added to Playable Characters
  • Koopa Troopa has been added as a playable character to choose from in Matches. He has very high Spin and Speed stats.
  • His Special Dash has functions not seen in those of other characters.
    • During the Special Dash, you can use the L stick to freely change the direction of movement. You can also use the A button to jump.
    • During the Special Dash, you can also move across the surface of the water, but your Stamina consumption will increase.
    • As long as Stamina remains, you can enter your shell, and continue Special Dashing
    • Pressing the L button during a Special Dash will let you interrupt your Special Dash at any time.
    • If your Special Dash hits other players, you will accelerate even more.
  • This Special Shot has a new ability to bounce on the ground, and the number of times it bounces depends on the distance. While bouncing, it has the ability to blow other balls away.
• “Ninji” added to Playable Characters
  • Ninji has been added as a playable character to choose from in Matches. He has the highest Speed stat of all characters.
  • During his Special Dash, you can glide with your cloak. The first time you land from a glide, you can bounce ahead, even on the surface of the water.
  • His Special Shot, like Koopa Troopa's, has a new ability to bounce on the ground, with the number of bounces depending on the distance traveled. While bouncing, it has the ability to blow away other balls.
• “Blustery Basin” added to Playable Courses

  • In addition to Ty-foos and Snow Pokeys, a new stage obstacle, “Cooligans”, have also been added.

  • In addition to Pokeys, and tornadoes, a new stage obstacle, “Spike”, has also been added.

• Addition of “CPU Skill”
  • The CPU Skill can now be selected from “Amateur”, “Pro”, and “Champ”.
• Adjustments to Ranked Matches
  • Starting with the October 2021 Ranked Match, the rules for "Standard Golf" have been changed from "Special Shots On" to "Special Shots Off".
  • Courses will now change every 30 minutes, as opposed to every 60 minutes.
  • If you forfeit all three holes, the points you earn, including the participation bonus, will be zero.
• General Changes
  • In Online Play, for the options “Standard Golf” and “All at Once”, if a player fails to hole-in within one minute after all other players have holed-in, they are treated as if they’ve given up—as is the case in Speed Golf.
  • Fixed a bug in Golf Adventure's XC Standard Round that appeared to allow players to take a route other than crossing to the other side with a tornado when "Restart from First Hole" was selected.
  • Fixed a bug in New Donk City’s Amateur placement on Hole 13, where if a player had gotten a hole-in-one after hitting the parasol, one stroke would be added to their score.
  • Adjusted some collision detection for buildings and other objects placed in New Donk City.
  • Adjusted CPU behavior for New Donk City.
  • Fixed a bug where animation and voice weren’t matching-up during the ranking display for Ranked Matches.

  • Made several other fixes, and adjustments to game balance to improve enjoyment and playability.

Reception

Critical response

Mario Golf: Super Rush has received generally positive to mixed reviews from critics. The Speed Golf and Battle Golf modes have been generally praised, but the game received criticism for its adventure mode, lack of courses and single player content.

Reviews
Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Michael Goroff, EGM	3/5	For the first home console game in the series in nearly two decades, Mario Golf: Super Rush is a bit underwhelming, at least in terms of what it has to offer. Speed Golf and Battle Golf are both great ideas, but they aren’t fleshed out enough to feel like main modes. Golf Adventure is a great way to add depth to what basically amounts to an extended tutorial, but it too suffers from pacing problems. Thankfully, the bulk of the game—the actual golfing—feels better than ever by being both technically challenging and more accessible.
Brian Shea, Game Informer	8.25	Despite the underwhelming nature of the story mode, Mario Golf: Super Rush delivers plenty of golfing greatness. With a strong foundation and multiple fun avenues of play, Mario Golf: Super Rush carries on the long-standing tradition of Nintendo sports games by being a good time regardless of your fandom of the actual sport.
Simon Cardy, IGN	6/10	Mario Golf: Super Rush is a comfort-food game that, to some (like me!), can take you to a happy place with a couple taps of the same button followed by an exclamation of “Nice Shot!” Its standout Speed Golf mode is a great twist on Mario Golf and a genuinely fun way to play that goes a fair way to spicing up an age-old formula by filling the space between swings with a madcap foot race to the next one. Though even if that mode is a tidy birdie, sadly there are just too many bogeys elsewhere in Super Rush in the form of a poor adventure mode, a slight selection of courses, low replayability, and just a general lack of things to do after you’ve burnt through its content once that make for an unsuccessful round. Arcade golf games like this are made to be played with friends for a long time, but there just doesn’t feel like enough variety on offer here to make me want to. Without that longevity I just can’t place Super Rush in the category of a top-tier Mario Golf game.
Steven Petite, GameSpot	7/10	With three radically different styles of play and some seriously inventive courses, Mario Golf: Super Rush is a compellingly original sports game. Speed Golf and Battle Golf actively make you adapt to wildly different conditions while balancing technique and speediness. The button swing system still feels great, though if you desire an accurate motion-controlled golf game, this isn’t it. Golf Adventure curiously lacks a conventional tournament structure or record-keeping, which actively dissuaded me from ever wanting to revisit it. Super Rush isn’t the best entry in the series, but it’s a worthy addition.
Thomas Whitehead, Nintendo Life	7/10	Mario Golf: Super Rush is a game that in many respects hits its marks. Golf Adventure has plenty of charm and offers a fun way to learn various mechanics and unlock courses. Away from that solo endeavour there are decent options and customisation for multiplayer games, local or online, button controls or motion-based swinging. It's not a premium effort, however, with a nagging feeling of corners cut and at times an absence of creativity. However, many players should get a good amount of fun out of this one, both solo and with friends. This ain't the Masters, but for Mario Golf fans it is a solid par.
