• Waluigi: We’re unsure of Waluigi’s special move.

• Boo: Boo’s ball scares other players’ ball on impact.
• Donkey Kong: We’re not sure of Donkey Kong’s special.

Mario Golf Super Rush Game Modes

The game modes in Mario Golf Super Rush include Battle Golf, Speed Golf, and Golf Adventure.

Speed Golf

Speed Golf is a new way to enjoy golf against other players. Players tee off in unison and run through the course as quickly as possible to get to their next shot. In classic Mario style, players can use their abilities to make it more challenging for others and throw them off their game.

The goal is to race to become the first to sink your ball in the goal. There are various items and obstacles throughout the course to help you out and make it more challenging. Each character has special dash abilities to give them a temporary speed boost and knock other players off their game, like Mario Kart.

Battle Golf

Head to the stadium to compete in Battle Golf, a mode with nine holes in play at one time. The mode is a unique variation of Speed Golf, and the goal is to be the first player to score three holes to claim a victory. It’s a lot more chaotic than Speed Golf and seems reminiscent of Mario Kart Battle mode.

Golf Adventure

Gold Adventure is Mario Golf Super Rush’s single-player story campaign. Players will play through multiple levels in a linear story to level up their character, taking a Mii character from rookie to pro golfer. Learn the basics, and improve on every aspect of your golf game while completing various challenges along the way.

Players can level up and gain experience by playing through this game mode. Assign points to different attributes like Power, Stamina, Speed, Control, and Spin, to improve your character and make it into the best golfer.

Tee off with family and friends in Mario Golf Super Rush on June 25, 2021, for Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online membership is required for online play.
