![]() In Battle Golf, you’ll be attempting to snag more points or holes than your opponents while playing on terrain at the same time, so you’re bound to cross paths with others regularly and will often find yourself competing on the same hole with competitors while desperately trying to hole out before they do. The balance between trying to make precision shots while racing to the hole ahead of your opponents creates a lot of hectic fun that’s missing from other golf video games. With a couple of different ways to play this mode, your ability to line up and then get to your next shot in as little time as possible will be a determining factor in your success. This mad scramble to your ball might not seem all that crucial in your typical casual round, but you can probably see how it becomes a little more important when playing a round of Speed Golf where time is truly of the essence. It won’t be long before you’ll need to use those curves and loft in your arsenal to navigate trickier terrain and avoid too many of those disappointing bogeys. Though it might not seem all that challenging at the outset on easier courses, be prepared for the game to become a little more difficult once there are more obstacles and hazards to worry about. It’s easy enough to adopt a “grip it and rip it” approach when power is really your chief concern, but there are also some of the other usual golf variables to keep in mind when planning your shot, including the wind situation and the lie of the ball. It took some time for me to realize that the accuracy of a shot is impacted by how much power you choose to apply in that first gauge, with the more strength you strive for accompanied by the risk that your shot could end up being a little wild. ![]() You might think (like myself) that a second gauge after squaring away the power would then determine the accuracy of your shot, but instead it’s used as an opportunity to shape your shot with curves or loft. Once you’ve decided on a club and a type of shot (which basically amounts to either a full or half shot), you’ll then use a gauge to set the power of your shot and apply either topspin or backspin (or even super backspin) to your ball. With all that said, let’s tee up a breakdown of what components of the game are landing beautifully on the fairway and what areas could still use some fine-tuning to keep them from spending too much time in the rough. There’s even a single-player Golf Adventure mode that provides a story to you starting your golf career with your created Mii, and sees you improving your game and competing against all of your favorite characters from the Mario universe. From Speed Golf to Battle Golf, there’s no shortage of ways to pit yourself either against the CPU or other humans online in a bid to claim victory on whatever course you happen to be on. But the game accentuates its own stripped-down interpretation of the sport with a variety of unique modes that allow you to choose how you would like to play, and these offer you plenty of opportunity to mix things up should you ever start getting bored with any of them at all. That’s not to say that the golf itself in Mario Golf: Super Rush isn’t fun in its own right, only that it’s relatively basic and easy to grasp compared to a more robust simulation like PGA Tour 2K21.
