Re: Review: Mario Golf: Super Rush - A Solid Swing, But Par For The Course

I’m a bit into this now, the second course and still disappointed.

There are some terrible design decisions IMO.
It’s too easy to screw up and not be able to undo it.
My Mii can’t climb cliffs so I have to walk the long way. Maybe this is why most real courses don’t have cliffs? 😅
There isn’t really time to set up a shot, just hit and run. Pretty much zero skill needed.
Even if you want to you’ll remain uninformed about the ball’s trajectory.
I have to wait for the CPU to finish their course and can’t skip it?
I have to walk to my bed rather than just ‘be’ there?
The overworld is merely OK. It’s boring and it’s possible to choose a path that looks right but isn’t. It’s all so unnecessary.
I hate that the camera moves in fixed increments and isn’t free like any other game I’ve played in a decade (?).

I’d give it a 5/10 so far. Totally average.

I remember having to ask my Mum to drive us to a shop to get one. The closest was about an hours drive.
We saved up for AGES.

Then when we got home it didn’t work and we had to go back to get a replacement.
Amazingly she agreed to take us the same day

Then we could finally boot up Mario 64 and play with his face.
