Nintendo released a five-minute overview trailer for Mario Golf: Super Rush. The new trailer introduces the playable characters, courses and new modes for players to try.
About Mario Golf: Super Rush
Tee off in Mario Golf: Super Rush, the latest instalment of the Mario Golf series, coming to Nintendo Switch. Join your favourite Mushroom Kingdom characters on the fairway on courses filled with lush, natural scenery.
Get into the swing of things with button controls, or use motion controls by holding the Joy-Con controller like a golf club. Just like the real thing, you’ll need to study the wind and terrain, but there are also handy features to help you ace your shots. Take advantage of a shot gauge that shows you how your shot will curve due to slopes, and a scan that lets you examine a course’s terrain.
Among the game’s new features is Speed Golf. In this mode, everyone tees off at the same time, then you’ll race through the course to reach your ball. Give it another whack to get it closer to the hole, then keep going! Outpace your opponents to come out on top. Your golfing skills aren’t the only things at play: make use of dashes and special shots to beat the competition.
Take a Mii character from rookie to pro golfer by teeing off against various Mushroom Kingdom characters in Story Mode. Level up with experience points earned during matches, then allocate these points to different stats to develop your character.
You can also enjoy multiplayer with up to three other players, both locally and online.
Mario Golf: Super Rush Modes
- Speed Golf – In the new fast-paced mode Speed Golf, players tee off in unison and race through the course to sink the ball as fast as possible. It’s important to avoid the course’s various hazards and collect items that regain stamina while sprinting to the ball. Players can also use Special Dashes and Shots to swing victory in their favor.
- Battle Golf – In Battle Golf—a more strategic variation of Speed Golf—nine holes are in play at the same time. The first player to score three of the nine holes claims the victory, so it’s key to stay ahead of opponents or risk losing out.
- Standard Golf – In Standard Golf, every stroke counts and the lowest score wins.
- Golf Adventure – Solo players can go from rookie to pro when enrolling their Mii character at a country club in Golf Adventure. While interacting with familiar Mushroom Kingdom characters, they can learn how to play and take on a variety of challenges. Gaining experience makes it possible to level up the character, which can then be used in multiplayer modes.
- Simple Controls – Simple button controls make it easy for new players and seasoned pros alike. It’s as simple as taking aim, choosing the shot strength and sending the ball flying. Additionally, it’s possible to use motion controls by holding a Joy-Con controller like a golf club.*
- Useful Tools – Curving a shot is an effective technique to avoid hazards, and putting spin on the ball affects how it rolls after landing. Several features are on hand to help conquer the course, including a shot gauge that adapts to the angle of the slope and a scan that makes it easier to read the terrain.
- Tee Off with Family, Friends and Familiar Faces – Players can choose from a cast of 16 characters from the Super Mario series, each featuring different strengths and equipped with their own unique special moves. Pauline, Chargin’ Chuck and King Bob-omb will make their first appearance in the series. Players can hit the fairway with up to three others, both locally** and online***, in different modes.
- Lavish Locations – From standard courses to courses with special hazards, every round of golf is different. There is a variety of six locations to choose from.
Mario Golf: Super Rush launches on the Nintendo Switch on June 25.
