Mario Golf: Super Rush has improved a decent amount since launch courtesy of multiple free updates that have added new characters, courses and modes. An ongoing attraction for those that like to jump in for some quickfire play is the Ranked Match online mode, in which even if you're struggling to win you can still gradually level up and claim a new reward each month.
This month's prize for reaching A- is Mario when he forgot to pack his golf gear before heading to the course.
Nevertheless it's pleasing that we're still getting new outfits and alternatives to try and earn each month, and it shouldn't take you too long if you're particularly keen. You can play either normal or speed golf with buttons or motion controls, and if you focus on one category you can rapidly gain ranks. Each run is only 3 holes (it swaps course / holes every hour) and in our little test we were able to find games relatively quickly. Placing higher will obviously accelerate progress, but you get points for participation too.
Let us know in the comments if you're still jumping into Ranked Match to unlock the rewards each month.

Totally love this game, one of the best golf games ever, glad his old clothes are back. Thank you Nintendo.
Aaaw I love the costume swaps...Really loved them in Mario Tennis Aces too (that is a fantastic game, can not understand why some don't like it!)
What a game changer! Definitely buying it now!
@Toads-Friend I agree, I love the game and think it is really fun.
It's really not that exciting.
I skipped this game due to the negativity. Love toadstool tour though - is super rush anywhere near as good? I might be tempted to pick it up.
I play these every month. BTW, just a correction: The courses rotate every 30 minutes in online play.
I did the ranked matches for the first time last month. I'm going to keep doing them now. Hopefully whatever I missed will come back around.
@Toads-Friend i think the main reason people didn't originally like it was because it didn't have much content at launch, of course, it did eventually get enough updates to be a meaty enough game
@andykara2003 It's really good fun! Not as 'silly' as Toadstool tour, but still a great game!
Does anyone else find the recently implemented timer too short and punitive? I play using motion controls, so it takes a while to practice a shot to get the correct power level. If the timer expires, you get a plus-10 for the hole. I understand the need for a timer, but I find that if I make a bad shot and maybe need an extra shot to recover, there is never enough time to hole-out before the timer expires. So if I can't hole-out in plus-1, I wind up with a plus-10.
Before the timer was implemented, there would occasionally be a person who made you stand around for a minute or two, but I never considered it problematic. The fix seems excessive.
I somehow prefer characters playing sports on their original costumes except for Peach, Daisy, Rosalina and Pauline. I understand why they might need other attires for competitions.
Some of the sports costumes are really cool, though. I particularly like Wario's golf one.
Game keeps giving
@Toads-Friend Nice one - is the single player campaign good?
@andykara2003 Single player has its positives and negatives. A cute story mode with a good deal of leveling up, but a couple of the course challenges are absurdly frustrating. And you can't use motion controls for story mode.
Wasn't this the worst entrie in the serie? I'm glad they are still updating the game.
The article mentions that the golf courses change every hour, but from my experience, it’s every half-hour instead.
I wish these weren't locked to just online monthly tournaments. If I don't feel like playing this for a month, or CAN'T play it for a month, I'll miss out, and then they're gone until Nintendo decides they can bring it back. And what if eventually these won't come back? It's just impossible to get at that point. Really, this should just be an alternate, easier method of unlocking these, while still having proper ways to unlock these things without locking it behind online tourney jank.
I wish it was Mario and Luigi, a single skin per month seems like a downgrade after the 3 yoshi, toad, and koopa colors (I'm surprised Boo only had a singular visor color). That said I still greatly enjoy this game, and hope they surprise with Paid DLC later next year.
@Burning_Spear Thanks, definitely temped.
Thank you this is the one I’ve been wanting since the start
