Reviewed on Nintendo Switch with a code provided by the publisher.Do you ever want to play golf with your friends, but tee time has been hard to come by? Well, look no further. Maybe next time Mario dons his Calloway jumper, there should be less haste and more speed. And because of this, Mario Golf: Super Rush never settles into a game that captures the fun of golf nor offers up a convincing alternative. It makes for an entirely hollow solo experience. There’s no replay, no moment to bask in the highlight of any golfing experience - just an unending rush where no moment is too noteworthy to reflect on. At one point, where I sunk an entirely unexpected hole-in-one, I didn’t realize until my Mii started celebrating for a few seconds before the game moved on. While the online mode might keep you involved with mates, there’s just not enough incentive to.Īs I said at the start, Rush is an apt word to define this game. But there’s not a huge amount to it, and in keeping with the rest of Mario Golf: Super Rush, there’s nothing here to keep your interest in the long term. It’s a chaotic take on golf, letting you choose which flags to aim for and, in short bursts, gives an impression of what this game could have been. The only other mode of note is Battle Golf, where you fight in a coliseum to be the first to win 3 holes. By the time the credits hit, I was genuinely confused as to how it had ended up where it did, with characters getting introduced and dropped quicker than some of the holes you’ll play on. Feeling your Mii get better over time certainly adds a bit of flavor, but it’s not enough to really rescue the mode’s story, which is seemingly two very different ideas stitched together. Each time your Mii gets a boost, you can decide if they can hit the ball further, straighter, or have more control over it, all having a pretty noticeable effect once you return to the course. Still, the only reason to see the Golf Adventure mode through is the fact you can level up your Mii’s stats. It’s not revelatory, but it at least gives a sense of pace and action that makes up for the lack of complexity in Standard Golf. To add some extra spice, characters have the ability to Super Dash and knock their opponents out of the way, offering a sprinkle of light platforming to create Mario Golf’s most distinctive mode. Whereas Speed Golf has you racing across the course to catch up where you hit your ball and where the fastest time wins. So you’ve got Standard Golf, which is your typical game of golf and will transport you to where the ball landed. These largely work out as introductions to the game’s main forms of golf. You won’t spend too much time exploring worlds though, as the game wants to quickly shepherd you towards the various qualifying rounds on each course.
How enjoyable that is depends on personal preference, but I certainly made the most of an afternoon taking turns with my partner to see who could look the daftest while playing with them. Meanwhile, motion controls are what you expect - swing your arms like it’s 2007 and you’re trying out Wii Sport for the first time. While it’s not quite as simple as that suggests - a red gauge next to your power meter indicates how far a ball can curve unexpectedly if you put too much power on a shot - but it doesn’t quite capture the rhythmical compulsion of Everybody’s Golf, that sense of timing and strategy coming together. Your button controls offer more command over where your ball goes, as you set power on a meter with a tap of A and add sidespin afterwards by nudging the left stick. Depending on which mode you’re playing, you’ll have a choice between traditional button controls or the arm-flinging of motion controls. This identity crisis starts with how you play the game.
