New Mario Golf: Super Rush Website Gives Us A Closer Look At Characters And Courses

I wonder what this game will be about. Basketball perhaps?

My favorite character is always Mii, my avatar on Nintendo system.
It will looking cool in White and Blue color outfits.
But.... I'm really terrible at playing golf video games (couldn't even measure the right power and direction to hit the ball and tend to get Boogey Wonderland oftenly) 😫

Still disappointed with the lack of proper golf outfits for Yoshi and DK. I find it really dumb. But whatever. So long as the game is fun and Miis don't ruin the game like they did in Mario Tennis Open then I'm happy.

Day 1 purchase for me. I hope it has many courses.

@HotGoomba oooo, I thought it was home cooking 101

I'm just hoping that the single player hasn't been neglected to make way for the multiplayer elements.

Loved the N64 game, really looking forward to this.

Looks good, can't wait to play SOON!

Personally I think Platinum Points are a bad joke; I don't know if I've ever used any of them because frankly the "rewards" are useless junk. Gold Points are the only ones with any tangible value, and they take awhile (and a lot of purchases) to accumulate.

Anyone else miss the old My Nintendo rewards that had those really nice items you could exchange points for at the end of each year?

@Yosher it's almost like they don't make golf clothing for dinosaurs and apes 😉

@carlos82 They had clothing in old games like Mario Party 2 and the Mario Strikers games.

Not to mention Yoshi always wears shoes and DK always wears a tie.

Clearly they make SOME clothes for dinosaurs and apes.

I felt a tad burned by Mario tennis, In my opinion it wasn’t worth the price I paid. So waiting Will be for this one

Sadly platinum points are absolutely worthless, I am interested in this game despite my dislike of sports games though.

@Bl4ckb100d. 6 coarses and 18 holes each according to website. maybe more with DLC. still looks like great fun with so many modes six coarses won't seem so bad to me.

The courses look insanely beautiful. However, if I'm going to play a "Mario golf game", I want the courses to be crazy, whacky fun, with ridiculous items.

When I saw the different levels in Mario Golf World Tour, I got it immediately. Will I buy this? Yeah, eventually. It looks like a really, really good golf game with a few twists.

Am I missing something?

@DominoHurley I’m hoping there are going to be more whacky courses. Maybe they haven’t shown everything or maybe it’s dlc. But the bones of the game look good to me.

Hoping those are just 5 early courses and hey have some other with more unique elements and mario references put into them.

The website shows the game has six 18 hole courses, and the battle course has 9 holes. To cap it off Adventure Mode clearly has a decent amount of content exclusive to it as well.

It looks like this game has a little bit more content compared to prior Mario Golf games (excluding DLC), that's a lot more than I can say about the prior two Mario Tennis entries.

Golf games are my favourite of the Mario Sports series. I played the recent 3DS game a lot. Fingers crossed this is a good game.

Looking forward to seeing more of this...i do love a golf game. NES Open is probably my most played game in my Online selection.

@AtlanteanMan and with the purchase of MK8, I got a free game!

"..it's worth doing if you have the time."
No, it's not. Nintendo should just give out Gold Coins for all their rewards, everything else is useless.

I still can't figure out how many players can play together on one system? Is the 4 way split screen for the speed mode?

Cancelled my preorder after seeing the courses... Dull as anything... This needs to have variety ala Mario Golf World Tour... Come on Ninty you have all the assets to change this up from Mario Kart 8, drag and drop that stuff. It's currently looking duller than a British seaside crazy golf course.

Such a shame as I was sold on the modes etc! 😢

Hopefully this site isn't glitchy. The New Pokémon Snap website was (and still is) glitchy for me, so I never got the points from there.

Very awesome! I'm looking forward to this; it's right around the corner. I also love NES Open Tournament Golf ⛳, though I'm not very good at it.

@Achilles7 I’ll guess there is no split screen since they’ve shown plenty of video and images but no split screen and we are so close to the release date. Sorry.

@sixrings That's unfortunate. Was excited for it, I like to do couch co-op/splitscreen type games with my boys. But this is a deal breaker. Bummer.

Mario Golf World Tour was a great game. I enjoyed that game so much more than I thought I would. I hope there is some sort of DLC for courses. Most of these look fairly realistic, and I was hoping for something a little crazier.

I’m cautiously optimistic on this. I don’t know if it will be day one though. I may get a feel of how some of the fans are reacting to it considering how Mario Tennis turned out.

@Achilles7 I bought four switches which is costly and accepted this generation that I’d have to deal with wireless local play. Just like Xbox and ps slowly got rid of split screen and forced online so is Nintendo. At least I have the option to have a lan room but it sucks financially although everyone seems to love having their own screen.

I hope that more characters may be added.
Piranha plant, toadette, Diddy Kong, and sprixie! (I would love to have sprixie in tennis as well). And would be awesome to have different color costumes (if that's a thing they add).

Game looks really fun! The new mode looks like a blast. Love the race to the finish game.

As stated by many, the courses look barren and uninteresting.

I think I'm gonna wait on this and see if there are DLC courses released in the future.

@WiltonRoots,

Same here this looks pretty good, and I am glad they have opted for some more realistic looking courses, someone on here suggested an underwater course, now that would be a travesty.

@Yorumi,

To be honest if you said you were impressed I would have had a heart attack.

I so see where you are coming from though, in the past there have been more way out there courses, but I never liked them, much prefer more natural looking courses.

@KillerBOB,

Some of the courses just look like normal natural golf courses, not sure what you would expect to find on a normal golf course, Zelda township perhaps?.

I does say these are just some of the courses so there may be more themed ones as well, but for me the more natural looking courses the better.

@AtlanteanMan You feel the same way I do. Platinum points are just a joke really, something for kids who frequently go to the official Nintendo site, and it's got nothing to do with actually playing or buying their games really. Gold points have only been useful to me as discounts, I use them to buy super cheap games on sale a lot of the time.

@johnvboy Golf courses never get old. I used to rinse the bejeezus out of Arnold Palmer's on my Megadrive. Plus my old man grew up with golf, he was born in St Andrews and used to caddy and hustle as a kid. His par was about 72 and he could drive over 300yds...

@Yorumi,

I agree a nice mix of more traditional and themed courses would be perfect, and as you say some good quality, great value DLC course packs would be awesome.

Do agree with you on the awesome DLC packs for Mario Kart, they were very good value.

@WiltonRoots,

We need to have a few rounds when we get the game, I used to love playing with people online with Wii Sports club, and this has similar vibes to me, and those courses look very good.

@johnvboy

They look dull though. Look at screen shots of the "natural" looking courses from Mario Golf 64 and Toadstool Tour. They are full of color, larger trees, more going on onscreen. In this game the courses look more sparse and empty, and a little too "realistic", which has never been the aesthetic for the 3D versions of this game.

@KillerBOB,

I guess it's a matter of taste, I much prefer a golf game to have realistic looking courses, not adverse to some more Mario themed ones as well.

I always liked hot shots golf and this is now looking very similar, who knows we may get some more themed courses as DLC, but still the highlight of the last Nintendo direct, and day one purchase for me.

@Yorumi it says these are 'some of the courses'.. ( i do think they are a bit more varied then you describe, the wii sport golf courses looked the same but were completely different as well')

@johnvboy Can do...who would have thought something as simple as a leisurely game of golf could create such abject misery? People need to get out a bit more..😂

@WiltonRoots,

So true, but then some would go an play a regular round of golf, then complain there was no Mario themed objects to contend with.

@johnvboy Got a course 5 mins from me. Threw my club to the ground in rage because Yoshi wasn't there and there were no giant mushrooms...huffed and puffed, went on a golfing comment section and let about 40 people know how angry I was.

@Yorumi,

So user reviews can be totally trusted, not sure I am with you on that, there could be many hidden agendas etc.

@DominoHurley This was a common criticism of the previous games. But it's a case of : you think it's fun, but it's actually more fun to play a well designed level.

At least, that's what I thought while playing the n64 and GameCube ones that did have wacky and zany stuff!

@Yorumi,

As much as I like user and critic reviews, I only use them as a reference point, my own personal view is the only one I really trust.

As for Animal crossing I feel many point out what's missing, but forget there are additional features, so it's not so much missing content as different content, and should we be solely judging a game on things a previous entry had in the first place?, for me I judge each individual game in a series by it's own individual merits, and have enjoyed all the mainline Animal crossing entries, but have to say I have enjoyed the new one very much, and spent a lot of time on it, but it has never seemed that much time or a chore.

@Yorumi,

It's a gauge without doubt, but tough when if we are being selective on what or who we trust, and how many times have I watched a movie that was panned, and I ended up enjoying it, but get where you are coming from.

@DekuNut @Yorumi @Seacliff @tntswitchfan68 I don’t know why people are assuming this is the entire course list. The website says, verbatim, “Here are some of the lavish locations you’ll be playing at.” “Some” implies there’s other courses, and I would assume that these are just the early courses in the game. Otherwise their wording is intentionally misleading.

@Yorumi and that’s fair, I just don’t understand why people expect every secret to be revealed ahead of a game’s release. I want surprises.

@ShadJV I doubt they'll say in the website itself "6 unlockable courses" if there wasn't 6 unlockable courses.

@Seacliff uh, where does is say “6 unlockable courses”?

@ShadJV Click "Show Me More" under "How to Play". Scroll down to the mode descriptions.
It's in the Red Box next to Standard Golf, Speed Golf, and Solo Golf.

@Seacliff I see that now, but I think it’s a bit ambiguous. I’m not sure whether that means 6 courses total, or if there’s 6 unlockable courses in addition to whatever courses are available off the bat.
