    I'm having a blast with this game! The courses the game has so far is high quality (remind me of the 64 courses). I've seen a lot of people complaining bout the uI for shots but for me has made the game more challenging then form games. The speed golf mode is also a awesome mode to jump into for online play . The motion controls respond great for standard 18 hole rounds. DefinitelyI'm having a blast with this game! The courses the game has so far is high quality (remind me of the 64 courses).

Adventure mode isnt as good as the gameboy but does have a charm with how they changed it up. Expand

    It’s a fun arcade golf game, but it’s a Mario game and it’s amazing. I originally thought the four player local co-op was going to suck considering that you have to take turns but it goes by really fast and it’s tons of fun solo or with the whole family

    I got this on release and played for a bit the first night. Aferwards I immediately deleted PGA 2k from my switch. The gameplay is just so refined and yet pretty challenging. I don't think I'll need another golf game for a while and I'm sure they will add more courses and characters in the future.

Nintendo is the best at post launch support of it's products, just look at smash bros. Graphics are what you would expect for a mario game. Same as all the others in style.

    The minus here though is that there not too much single player content and the adventure mode is kind of boring, but it will at least teach you all the basics you need. Anyway, multiplayer is where its at and this game doesn't disappoint. It's fun to play with friends and is a great addition to all the other main Nintendo games like smash, kart, tennis, Etc. Worth a purchase and arguably the best golf game on Switch unless you can't stand not playing against real world golfers. In that case stick with the inferior gameplay of PGA 2k. Gameplay is king for me, so I vote for Mario Golf.

    A fun bit disappointing
    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.

    Este título do Mario precisa ser avaliado como um spin e não jogo principal como vi muitos comentários, o game é diversão desenfreada, não possui um modo história não extenso, mas não é essa a intensão do mesmo, e sim ser um ótimo passa tempo em amigos.

    Nul doute que Mario Golf Super Rush comblera les fans de la licence et des jeux de Golf. On aurait sans doute aimer plus de changements, avec une plus grande prise de risque pour améliorer le challenge proposer, mais comme le dit un proverbe bien connu: « on ne change pas une formule que gagne… »

    I wanted to clear up some very skewed reviews by critics and users. I created an account specifically because of this game. I don't think this game is getting the justice it deserves and I feel some people who are playing clearly don't understand the game of golf, and if they don't, need to play and PAY Attention during adventure mode.

I don't think this game is getting the justice it deserves and I feel some people who are playing clearly don't understand the game of golf, and if they don't, need to play and PAY Attention during adventure mode. This is on the same plane as other mario games, it's detailed enough to be challenging for all ages. It is a golf game, and some seem to be taken aback by concepts very standard to a game like this.

    One critic made a claim that there was no way to decipher the distance and elevation during gameplay. From a gaming standpoint this is someone who clearly didn't play the game, or failed to explore enough to find that there is a range finder you can purchase that gives distance and elevation, just like golf. Others complained about XC golf, but something tells me they didn't put into account all variables when playing. This is after all a golf game, and yes I love golf, so I am somewhat bias, but the game does give plenty of information to prepare you for the fun that is to come. There is a learning curve that makes the game more challenging/frustrating, but rewarding when playing correctly. Golf after all takes patient and calculation.

    I think this game does a great job of applying that, but also being fun for everyone. The best games take time to master and I don't think this has gotten a fair shake. Instead of worrying about the amount of courses to play, maybe try focusing on mastering how to play the game, then when the DLC is out you will know how play well and have fun :)

    Mario Golf: Super Rush is the best installment in the franchise. It brings back old memories and creates new ones. The new features bring a fresh twist to the game, down to the little details like giving the characters new outfits and unlocked better golf clubs.

    This game is a wonderful and relaxing game to play; It breaks up the monotony of playing games you have to stay focused on. This game gives you a nice break to just sit back and play a couple rounds but also gives you a couple of game modes that give you that “super rush” you get when you are focused on a good video game for hours.

    The Mii story mode is another refreshing creative twist that gives this game another way to play. It’s fun and fresh and a great addition to the game as a whole.

    With the near future holding more updates to this game I can only say that it is going to get more and more fun for the family. I give this game a thumbs up to Nintendo in their line up of sports themed games. My only complaint would be that I wish the game had more courses and character options, but as shown in the trailers for this game they already have plans to add more of these in the near future.

    In conclusion, I give Nintendo praise for delivering a great wholesome video game that gives the Golfing franchise a fresh coat of paint while adding more to what we loved from the past. With that being said I encourage others to play this game. It’s relaxing, fun and brings a good balance to daily gaming.

    I am genuinely surprised at how bad the reviews on this game are. The controls work fine and as of writing there are 9 different courses with 18 holes each.

    What made this game appealing to me prior to acquiring it was the idea of revisiting playing the old Nintendo 64 version of Mario Golf and seeing what has changed from my high school days.

    Well, as it turns out, a lot has changed.

    For one, the mechanics of the game are as smooth as the graphics. You expect that when it comes to a Nintendo console that's a few generations ahead of the vintage 64. Yes, there’s something therapeutic watching your ball sail a long way in the real world; the same thing applies when you play this game, you're left to marvel watching the ball glide seamlessly in the virtual world.

    In addition, the variation of characters to choose from is quite refreshing as it gives you the option of picking the classicals such as Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser, as well as some of the more obscure characters such as Pauline from the original Donkey Kong games, Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy and Chargin’ Chuck from... I guess... Super Mario ESPN?

    The pleasant thing about the courses to choose from is that they have their own unique quirk to bring to the table. Bonny Greens is generic, but also great to grasp the basic concepts of golf if you’re new, but other courses bring tougher obstacles which require ace maneuvering if you’re to beat your competition.

    Pleasantly, this game offers advice about how to play your shots and includes all of the golf lingo that you'll probably hear the commentators murmur whilst you've got The Masters on in the background of your online shopping.

    If you’re not a traditionalist such as myself, you can be a little more adventurous with how you choose to play golf, you can play speed golf which requires a lot more focus and precision to not only stuff up your shots, but to get your ball to the hole as quick as you can.

    In addition, there is battle golf, where you compete with others to be the first player to nail three holes out of nine the quickest, it becomes very intense very quickly against family or friends and it can only spell a great time or the potential for your father to disown you in a similar fashion you would play Monopoly.

    The game’s story mode is a must if you want to unlock the courses that aren’t downloadable content. It’s very addictive in the sense that you build your Mii character and then get your creation to work on the art of golfing , adding up all of the stats to how you see fit and learning all the tricks you need to master this generation's Mario Golf along the way.

    It's fun to play and experience the new courses as you progress. However, the story gets more complex than hit the ball less than your opponent and beat the clock to progress to the next course as the game progresses, but I’ll leave that there in danger of spoiling the entire plot of the story.

    All in all, this is a game that even the most casual of golf fans and Mario fans alike can pick up and gel with quite easily.

    There could be extra characters, courses and maybe other intangibles (why super backspin, but no super topspin?) but for what it’s worth, it’s a game that has delivered a very solid drive and has landed smack bang on the putting green.

    Biggest disappointment in gaming in quite some time. I've never been a golf fan, but I have been a big Mario Golf Toadstool Tour on the GameCube.

    Biggest disappointment in gaming in quite some time. I've never been a golf fan, but I have been a big Mario Golf Toadstool Tour on the GameCube. Mario Golf World Tour was one of my most-played games on my 3DS (competing with the likes of Animal Crossing New Leaf and the Picross games.) When I bought a Switch on launch day, I was already looking forward to this game.

    Three years later, it finally comes out... and it's pathetically unfinished and uninspired. There is no joy nor excitement anywhere to be found. The course designers made nearly no effort to make these areas visually belong in the Mario universe, and they don't even look particularly good at all. Engagement comes in the form of "hit your ball into this cyclone to get up the cliffside" and that's about it. Oh, and you can collect coins as you run to where your ball landed, if you want -- they're nigh-pointless, as is the running to the ball itself. This was marketed as a core feature of the game leading up to release, and it's pathetically boring.

    The main mode of the game forces you to play through the course as a noisy, annoying Mii character -- using Mario or any of the other characters is not an option. The golf mechanics are both overly simplistic and unrealistic, allowing you to freely bend shots back and forth in midair, with complete disregard for club choice.

    There is basically nothing to unlock or obtain in the game. All included characters have one costume, and it's the one they're already wearing. You can obtain "stronger clubs" which just changes some internal numbers, and each character has a "special shot" which was almost never useful at all in my 30-or-so hours of gameplay.

    There's a cutscene halfway through the "story mode" which has you hit a golf ball really hard into a makeshift dam of rocks blocking a river, which destroys the dam and unlocks the next course. The cheesiness of the whole situation, combined with the poor, uninspired graphical presentation, really act as a cornerstone for my feelings about this game. This is as involved as the game gets, right here.

    2 stars because the splash screen (the artwork from the cover) looks really great as the game is loading. Then, the actual game loads, and reality sets in. I really should've fought for a refund; I bought this digitally when it came out, and haven't even thought of playing it past the first week. This is the same developer responsible for the excellent Mario Golf World Tour on 3DS and Everybody's Golf on PlayStation 4. How & why is this game so bad?

The new speed golf mode while fun, can also be a bit chaotic and at times can suffer from a bit of down time. The single player story mode makes a promising start, but loses its charm and appeal rather quickly due to a small number of things to do and weak RPG mechanics. The cross country mode is an interesting feature and I'm surprised that there is no option to play this mode out of the story mode (perhaps this will be added later on?). The recent update also added monthly tournament play which is nice, although I wish power shots were turned off, as in my experience online play involves waiting for your opponents to go first so that you can hit them with a powerful shot and potentially screw up their game. If you have friends or family to play with, I think local play is a great option as well with both split screen and turn by turn play possible. Overall, this is a pretty solid experience that will hopefully continue to get better with more updates just like Mario Tennis Aces. 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.

    Not being able to tell ifyou are going to hit something is a problem they should fix. The special shots aren't very fun, they're mostly just for exploiting the computer or angering your friends. I would recommend you use "play all at once", and not use motion controls.

    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.

    At this point in history, anyone that picks up a Mario sports game should know what they are getting themselves into. And yes, this title is no different.

    As always, the visuals and sound are up to standard for any Nintendo game. Cute as ever and beaming with colour! The game-play is solid with a simple but intuitive control scheme and a bit of variety with how you would like to play.

    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.

    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.

The graphics are not impressive, the sound design is forgettable to the point where I muted the game so I could listen to my own music, the characters offer very little variety in style, the levels are really bland (for the most part), and there aren’t that many. There is no tournament mode, online mode is very simple and missing any kind of ranked play, and the single player mode is a complete soulless drag. Luckily the game is fun with friends, but it’s not a high quality game. Sadly in less than a week, I’m pretty much done with it. Expand

    Probably the laziest "Nintendo" and "Mario" branded product I've ever bought. The gameplay is extremely bland and dull, with the only factor of depth being a rather stupid gimmick where you move the ball in the air in various stages, and this gimmick isn't even available for all the characters at the start of the game.

The characters with a single bar are as bland as they can be in a game where you just point where you want to shot and press A.

    In its current state (no updates released yet), I would say it's at the "shareware" level. If this game had been given away for free to NSO users it might have been acceptable, but as a $60 product it's just a joke. Nothing in the game looks complete. The feeling of playing is the same as experiencing a bug-free tech demo.

    This is one of those games that is so incomplete for the price that it sounds like an insult. It's as if the seller has no respect for the customer. I'm surprised Nintendo considered a game that wouldn't even qualify for a mid-tier mobile game to be released for $60 for the main console. This game is so incomplete, so barebones, that it alone made me lose all confidence in Nintendo-licensed games. I hope more players will follow my "example" and not buy anything else from Nintendo until they start releasing full games again.

    After about 6 hours I can safely say I am enjoying this much more than Mario Tennis Aces. While it might not be as traditional arcade golf as I'd like, the variety has been entertaining and not annoying/boring so far. I will say it is lacking a bit in courses and content but as far as what it sets out to do, I think it does it relatively well. Maybe not a buy at launch full price title,After about 6 hours I can safely say I am enjoying this much more than Mario Tennis Aces.

    The core mechanics and gameplay are actually really good. I have enjoyed what I have played so far.
    There just really isn't anywhere close to enough course selection at launch for a premium price tag golf title in 2021. They should have started with something closer to 12-16 courses, with 4-6 more coming as DLC over the following year. Nintendo really needs start churning out some DLC

I'd say at least 1 character and 1 course a month for the next year to make it work the the $60 buy-in. I should probably give this a 6, but I'm crossing my fingers they deliver on DLC. With a better amount of content this would be an easy 8.

    If you compare the modes and content to for example the NGC toadstool tour, this game really falls short in terms of variety and replayability.

    Online multiplayer is actually fun, but suffers the same problem that its just too superficial. Getting into rooms is a drag. Online there is nothing to work towards or improve/collect. The battle golf mode sounds fun, but is a gimmick you will play for 15 min and then never touch again).

    Stil i found myself enjoying the core gameplay mechanics, allbee it for a couple of days, after around 8- 10 hours of playing. All that can be seen in the game is done. Graphically, the game is not impressive either.
    In conclusion, in its current form, the game is mediocre and feels unfinished and 'rushed', but there are glimpses of potential, which makes me excited for future mario golf games.

    Ok game if you buy in a sale for a budget price, but definitely not worth 60 bucks.

    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. Certainly a step back from previous entries.

    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.

    If you´re looking for a big game with a lot of content, this is not your game. but playing it is very relaxing. and it is great for people who don't play a lot of games. If you're looking for a good time with your friend and family, this is the game for you. is simple and charming, but is not a game that I personally would play alone

    A good idea put to waste.

    While the "speed golf" aspect of the game is a novel idea, it could have been implemented much, much better, especially coming from the same franchise as Mario Kart. I mean c'mon, add some red shells, stars, SOMETHING! Also, the game has limited content with only 6 courses and the "story" mode is horrible. Online play could be improved.

    Nintendo have updated the crap out of this and is worth giving it a shot now. The gameplay is more or less the same but there’s more characters, courses and game modes.

    Mario Golf: Super Rushed is the biggest disappointment for a Mario franchise game.

    The single player mode is just a tutorial, and the characters in game talk about tournaments and other events that don't appear anywhere in the game. Being robbed of $80 for basically a demo is a huge insult, big enough that I registered an account here to warn others. The last free update was just

    Fun to play with friends, although the single player is very boring and repetitive. A lot of the courses don't make sense either for a golf game. A decent pickup, if you can find it on sale.

    I don't know what's going on with Camelot but they haven't been able to provide a good Mario Sports game in years. This started with Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and seems to continue in the present day.
    Mario Golf: Super Rush is lacking the charm from the previous games and is severely lacking in content.
    Gone are the ring shots modes, cup tournaments, challenges, best badges/birdie badges

    Gone are the ring shots modes, cup tournaments, challenges, best badges/birdie badges and star characters. None of the game modes are interesting and are very boring and basic. The graphics are pretty bad for the Switch (especially Shelltop Sanctuary golf course, it's awful). The characters only have one animation for a good or bad outcome when winning/losing a hole and it's very lazily done compared to the previous entries which had very flashy animations. The only thing good I have to say about the characters is that they have pretty good golfing outfits (save for a few like Yoshi and DK who don't have any).

    If this game was 20$ or cheaper I would have gave this 7 or more but the fact it's a 60$ full game price is why it's a problem, it's like Nintendo doesn't simply doesn't care if they're ripping their off customers and simply charging that amount of money for being a Nintendo product. The seal of quality once used by the company has completely lost it's meaning. Play the previous golf entries or spend your money on another actually good Switch game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mario Golf: Super Rush is... I dunno how to explain it. I wish the game had more to offer. All you get is local multiplayer, online multiplayer, and campaign. The campaign is kinda easy and it takes no time at all and you don't get much customization for your character, plus it doesn't have a ton to offer. Even though I kinda liked it I know other players won't like it as much. Online multiplayer isn't difficult and it's just playing golf against others. Local can be fun with family and friends but other than that, kinda gets old. The character selection screen has an okay amount of characters but I wish there was more. Also I wish they made the putting more realistic. No matter what power you're putting at, it basically always goes in the hole because of the pole. I know it's most likely there to help players out, but I kinda wish it wasn't there for more of a challenge. Overall Mario Golf: Super Rush is Ok and it lacks some stuff. Expand
