    I was so excited to play Mario Golf with my girlfriend.. and thankfully playing with people in real life is where Mario golf shines..
    Mario Golf Super rush featurs essentially 2 main modes.. play golf where you set up your match and play solo or with up to 4 players.. or adventure mode… adventure mode is where I spent most of my time, taking me about 7 hours to complete, you play as your mii character off on an adventure to save Mario golf world,.. this is essentially one giant tutorial. So I appreciate it.. youll be going through the different game modes, learn specil shots, or how to use different clubs… take on a couple of bosses… it’s a nice little single player mode to run through to unlock each course, however if you prefer just playing with friends or sticking strickly to golf with none of the gimmics, you can also unlock each of the levels by playing 18 holes in the previous… unfortunately though there are only 6 courses here, and qite frankly.. theyre all pretty lame.. I expect more charm from a Mario game, and its completely lacking here…. So you really rely on gameplay modes to keep you entertained… you can play speed golf where youre running all over the couse after your ball, trying to sabotage other players and get thte best score, or you can soimply take turns the og style… I personally found the speed golf to be fun at first, but eventually it just started to feel like an annoying gimmick to me… I don’t care to run around the same courses… it isn’t fun, its annoying to add platforming elements when your super rush is practically uncontrollable and can have you falling off the course… it is no longer about making great shots.. its more about being able to get to where the ball landed before everyone gets to theirs.. I grew to hate this mode… where I had a blas though was playing with the motion controls… do I completely understand how to play pro level with motion controls? Absolutely not, its so much harder than just chosing angles and hitting a when a meter fills, you gotta try swing with enough power to make your shots, and I loved it.. it definitely gave m a workout and with a group of friends, motion controls is the way to play.. everything feels less controlled, but its worth it…
    Overall I enjoyed the time I spent with mario golf, unfortunately the golf courses aren’t enjoyable enough to get much more time out of me in the future..
    This sadly is a game I see collecting dust waiting to be chose over Mario kart or Mario party when your friends come over..

    Nice overall. Speed golf is cool.

    However, it suffers from a few things: It gets repetitive very quickly, adventure mode feels rushed, it's difficult to see ball trajectory when putting, post-hole animations lack charm, and the art style is exceedingly generic.

With free maps and characters on the horizon too the game gives a lot of reason to come back, which makes me happy because I honestly had a lot of fun playing this game. It's an excellent way to spend an hour or so to relax.… Expand

    Mario Golf: Super Rush provides a worthwhile golfing experience featuring Mario themed characters, courses, and mechanics.

The title does convey a bit of a mid budget aura, animations and character movement are a bit underbaked and the visuals can be unpolished at times. With that said, the core golfing is generally quite good, and has sufficient depth to be engaging without alienating casual players.

    The single-player campaign included in Mario Golf: Super Rush, while enjoyable, certainly doesn't live up to it's potential and is quite uneven. The difficulty curve is strangely implemented, certain challenges can feel insurmountable, while others require very little effort. The mode features a variety of different hub areas, but there isn't much reason for them to exist as there's no meaningful interactions or gameplay that takes place in them. There are a few boss fights included, and while these are pretty fun, they're for some reason all jammed together at the end of the game instead of being peppered throughout the duration of the experience. The story itself has a bit of promise at the start, but meanders and sputters out without any real memorable events having taken place. The mode at the very least does serve as a decent enough tutorial, but beyond that there isn't much to say about it.

    The multiplayer is certainly the main course here, and includes enough locales and characters to feel like a full experience. I really enjoy the new Speed Golf mode, running through courses as the different characters is quite a nice change of pace from the more plodding pace of the standard golf. Online works fairly well, though it certainly isn't the smoothest experience around, with local play functioning quite well and providing sufficient customizability.

    Music and visuals are functional but not exactly exciting. The game does look quite nice at times, but never really reaches the heights of Nintendo's main series Mario titles. The music is fairly generic, but is energetic enough and doesn't detract from the experience much.

    Mario Golf: Super Rush is a casual friendly golf title that I enjoyed my time with, though I do recognize a general lack of polish that really shouldn't be present in a Nintendo published Mario game.    … Expand

    Having greatly enjoyed World Tour on the 3ds, I hoped that Super Rush would be just as good or even better than it, but unfortunately I find Super Rush to be slightly worse than World Tour. While it does keep the system of World Tour, Super Rusher changes it in a way I'm not totally on board with. But despite this, I still had fun with this, especially the Battle Golf mode.

    This is just a simple golf game. I always loved this sport, but I would only buy a Mario Golf, because of the characters, and their specialities. I don't think this game is perfect, because it isn't , but i think it's an okay game. if you like golf, I can recommend it. Some people say wait for a discount, but this is a Nintendo game, so it will take an eternity to buy this game on a discount.

    Don't expect anything really new (however, story mode is a good bit of different) and don't expect a game for the 'pure at heart golfer'. This is for the casual gamer who just wants to sit back and have a good golfing time. And Super Rush does it well.    … Expand

    It’s fun once you get into it but when you compare it to other Mario side games, like Mario kart, it’s not as polished and lacks the AAA feel you expect. At release it felt like they didn’t have it ready in time and shipped it out unfinished. Hopefully the free DLC will keep coming so it ends up feeling worthy of being a full price Nintendo release.

BUT it truly feels incomplete and it lacks the Mario personality and creativity older Mario sports games had. The fact that they reused the victory/loosing animations from birdies and bogeys across every other type of hole outs (hole in ones, eagles, triple bogeys etc.), the game courses lack the Mario uniqueness of them, with only a few being good enough for that, the fact that the "supershots" are unbalanced and inconsistent since less than half of the roster gets unique attributes to their special shots while the rest of the roster gets the generic Blast away special, and its not like they didn't have material to pull from. World tour had such a great set of starting courses, unique and creative victory animations and overall better gameplay. It's truly sad hoe the game lacks n personality like this and that most of this stuff that is missing from the game will probably never come to the game in any of the "free" updates. Not to mention the short adventure mode that disappoints beyond belief in my opinion, it started out great and I was expecting to continue on with what it set but half way through it I became bored and it felt more like a task rather than a source of entertainment. My only wish is that they fix some of the issues I and other players have in future updates. Also I'm mad that we can't taunt other players like we used to in Toadstool tour, I know that Nintendo wants to approach more family friendly terms with this, But it could easily be a setting to turn on and off these taunts, which lead to my next complaint which is more of a nitpick, but its that the characters are not very expressive, this goes along with my complaint about the animations/victory screen where the characters barely say anything, from what I can remember, the most a character has talked in the game was Daisy when she says "Whatever" in her Bogey/loosing animation or Rosalina's "Oh Boy" in the same situation, these I find are very good expressions from these characters but having it as every single loosing animation makes them feel dull, with Daisy saying "whatever" gives her some of that sass that she had back in the day and that she still has but has been dulled down as of recent years, I would have loved to see her rage in madness when she gets a triple bogey or do cartwheels in while creating fields of flowers and plants when getting a Hole-In-One. When I started playing and got my first eagle I felt really excited at first because of my accomplishment, but then I saw the character I was playing as, in that case Wario, do the same animation I had already seen for his birdie celebration screen, it made me sad and I was shocked to see that they all suffered the same fate. I don't know if this is Camelot's doing or Nintendo's, but I, along many others, am tired of this recent takes that have been doing on recent Mario Games were it's all more simplified, minimalistic, dull, and overall lacking of the Mario personality, and What worries me the most about this is the fact that This has been going on for a while and I don't want this to take effect on future installments. For example, The Mario Strikers Games are know for being really chaotic and excitement, One of the things that stand out from these games to me is the intros and interactions characters have between each other, basically talking smack to the opponent before starting the match, I fear that things like this would be replaced with more friendly and non interesting intros were the characters wouldn't even interact with each other. Anyways Going back to Mario golf, I still think it's a good game, though as of now, it is not worth the price it's got, and I fear that the updates won't be enough to make the game good enough to reach that price tag. I personally Mario Sports Tittle shouldn't be more than $50, unless they have enough content to justify the price tag. Would I recommend this game? Skeptical yes, but I'd recommend waiting for some of those "free updates" to buy it or wait until it goes n discount.… Expand

Speed Golf and Battle Golf is fun and makes the game new and refreshing, however, Adventure Mode is a total dud... you only play in one tournament throughout the entire campaign, the rest is basically a boring quest to defeat the Snow King or whatever his name is, not to mention not all characters even make an appearance in the storyline... If you want to play with friends or solo play online it’s a fun game that can waste some hours, if you want classic style of golf with tournaments and cups, that’s not present at all unfortunately. I’m assuming both will be added later on, but this is the basis of a golf game that should have been added along with the two gimmicks of Speed and Battle golf. They’re fun, but requires online to play since the bots are pretty stupid and there is no way to change the difficulty of them. There is also no way to see where your ball is going via scope, you get another stupid gimmick to see land slope etc, but can’t really zoom in and out, which is the same case for putting, can’t really tell what slopes are for long putts so it’s a guessing game. Also no really challenges besides those thrown into adventure mode; which aren’t all that challenging. Perhaps after adventure campaign you could go back and play the tournaments on the lackluster 6 maps they put into the game... Overall it’s a decent/mediocre game. Worth $65? Absolutely not, it’s a $30-40 at most.… Expand

    I love golf games in general, but there are a lot of weird choices with this one: the lack of full trajectories, the fact that wind barely does anything at all, the incredibly easy putting mechanics, and the huge tonal shift in the story mode just to name a few.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On February 2021, Nintendo finally released a Nintendo Direct that everyone has been waiting for, but it was one of their worst Nintendo Directs. One of the things that stood out from all of the other games was a trailer for a new game called Mario Golf: Super Rush. Naturally, everyone was hype whenever the game finally released on June 25th 2021, but is this game up to par with all the others, or is it a bogey for the Mario Golf franchise? Find out in this review!

    I feel like it would be best to talk about the character selection first. We have the obvious selection of characters, like Mario, Luigi, Bowser etc. But there are also newcomers to the series, like Pauline, King Bob-omb and Chargin’ Chuck. While I like some characters added that are new to Mario Golf, I feel like there are some unnecessary ones like Chargin’ Chuck. One thing I do like about the characters though is that most of them wear unique clothes, but I find it weird that characters like Donkey Kong and Yoshi don’t wear anything unique when Toad and Bowser wear different clothes.

    The next thing I’m going to talk about is the game modes and courses. This is one of the major complaints about the game, as the options are seriously lacking compared to the other Mario Golf games. However, the game modes are still fun and enjoyable and the same can be said about a few of the courses. The first game mode I’m going to talk about is Speed Golf. This mode has you play normal golf, but all of the players hit the ball at the same time and you have to run to wherever your ball is and continue until your ball gets into the hole. Your character also has a unique special dash which can help you get to your ball faster. There are 2 different ways to play Speed Golf. The 1st way to play it is to get your ball into the hole faster than other players to get more points than them and it doesn’t matter how many times you hit the ball. The 2nd way to play it is to get your ball into the hole in as few shots as possible like normal golf, but you still have to physically run to your ball. The next mode I’m going to talk about is Battle Golf, which has its different courses being set inside a stadium. The goal here is to get your ball in 3 holes before everyone else, but there is only 9 holes that are separated from each other by some distance. Battle Golf also takes some rules from Speed Golf as you have to run to your ball and hit it in 3 holes, but there are also enemies in Battle Golf that act as obstacles. However, the only complaint I have about Battle Golf is that there are 2 courses, so there isn’t a lot to choose from.

    Another thing I am going to talk about is the story mode: Golf Adventure. This is another thing that the majority of Mario Golf fans didn’t like about Mario Golf: Super Rush. The story is that you play as your own custom character, which is one of your Mii’s on your Nintendo Switch, in order to become a pro golfer. After completing certain tasks or missions, you can gain XP which can level up your character. When you level up, you will gain skill points which can be used to increase your character’s skill at something: Power is how hard you can hit the ball, stamina is how much stamina you have when running or performing a special dash, speed is how much fast you can run, control is how straight the ball will be and spin is how much spin or shape the ball will have. There is also a handful of bosses found in the game, however it takes until near the end of the game in order to face them, I won’t spoil them though. The final thing I am going to talk about is online and replayability. I honestly was expecting online multiplayer for Mario Golf: Super Rush and it doesn’t fail to disappoint, you can even play Speed Golf online. The problem I have with the online is that it doesn’t punish you for leaving, like Smash Bros does. And then there is replayability, possibly the worst part about Mario Golf: Super Rush. This game is really lacking in replayability and that is why I don’t think this game is worth £49.99. It isn’t exactly the best single player game because of lacking choices, and I feel like you will have a better experience with friends/family.

    In conclusion, this game was definitely fun and enjoyable at certain parts and I do like some things like character Special Shots. I also enjoyed Speed Golf and the online was fun whenever I wasn’t bullied by Yoshi players, but with the replayability being low and an awful story mode being present, it makes the game feel like it is missing some parts. I know that there will be updates and there was an update at the time of this review, but the fact they add new modes and characters in an update isn’t fine, I get Mario Tennis Aces, but that released a new character every month, Mario Golf Super Rush is adding a lot more then that when they update. Overall, if you are planning to buy this game, wait until it’s worth at least £30.    … Expand

Online play is fun, but feels like something thrown in at the last minute. Why is there no Mii progression in online play or solo challenges?? Why are there no online tournaments??

I feel like this game missed the target and could have been great.… Expand

    Really basic, I think the game has charm but its lack of content is dooming, will probably be an 8/10 in 2 years.

    Mario Golf: Super Rush is a great game that should not have been released yet. The core golfing mechanics are super fun and intuitive. However, I think the game falls flat in a lot of other aspects. There's just not a whole lot to do, which is shocking for a 60 USD game. Golf Adventure, while useful at first, gets super boring and repetitive once you learn the base controls. The onlineMario Golf: Super Rush is a great game that should not have been released yet.

Golf Adventure, while useful at first, gets super boring and repetitive once you learn the base controls. The online functionality is super barebones, and with no ranking system, there's not a whole lot of incentive to play it. Of the 6 (really?) courses that were released, I will say that only 3 of them stand out. And the super annoying repeated audio from the characters is almost enough to make me want to mute the game, even though I actually quite enjoy the soundtrack.

    Obviously, this game shines with friends and family. It's a blast playing Speed Golf and trying to get the quickest and lowest score. And not every game is fun with friends (I'm looking at you, Super Mario Party), so it definitely succeeded in that aspect.

    I just wished they would have delayed the game by at least 2 months to really give it the Nintendo polish that I have come to expect from them. I know that DLC is coming in the future, but I much would have preferred a later release with much more content instead of what we got.

    TL;DR: If you have friends to play this game with, by all means, go for it. It's a blast with friends. But you will probably start to notice a lack of content that you probably would have assumed would be in the game. If you have no one besides randoms online to play with, I would say hold off on it for now. Wait for some of these content updates to release, and then make your decision.    … Expand

    Un título divertido pero con carencias, solo constan de 6 entornos con 18 hoyos cada uno, los cuales se hacen repetitivos al poco tiempo, el modo "Rush" no se nota muy trabajado y creo que desaprovecharon el tiempo que podrían a ver invertido en añadir un creador de mapas que daría infinidad de horas al título, en definitiva el juego entretiene pero no termina de convencer.

    This is my first Mario golf game, and I think a lot of reviews forget that most people haven't played the first 2 Mario Golf games.

This game can sometimes be frustrating but the game of golf is meant to be that way so I don't care. The problem with this game though is a lack of focus. The new scanning mechanic is kinda annoying and doesn't really work Super well, for me at least, also the online mode lags quite often. The gimmick of Super rush is the running to the ball mechanic. This mechanic just isn't that fun though it doesn't feel as wild and fun as you would hope. Overall this is a fun game, but doesn't try to be anything more than that, I hope the upcoming updates are really fun, but this game just isn't as good as it could be.… Expand

    Mario Golf: Super Rush is a very nice golf game. But the content breaks the effect of the smash it should have been. Indeed, the story mode is useless in addition to being badly managed (like Aces). Not really new, except the welcome Aces engine, and the speed golf mode, a fun and successful mode in my opinion. Too bad the rest is average like the roster or the empty and few maps.

    People seem to hate on XC golf, but I like it. It provides a challenge to the golf formula. Overall though, the game is a shell of the GameCube and N64 versions. The story mode is a drag with RPG elements half-baked in. Graphics are meh. Speed and battle golf aren't nearly as fun as they were thought of to be.

    Speed Golf is undoubtedly the main attraction of the game and it is a pity that other modes aren´t also so good.

    It’s great to see Mario Golf back with some great new modes to play but changes to the gameplay take the series one-step forward and two-steps back. [Issue #4, p.53]

    In all, it's incredible, and a great purchase for fans of past installments. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 67]
