As such my golfing knowledge consists of Carl Weather’s coach character proclaiming that it’s all in the hips, that crocodiles may be lurking in any nearby water and that you probably should not try to make a hockey player known for trying to stab another player with his skate into a golfer.įun fact, though: us Scottish folk appareantly invented golf. Everything I know about golf I learned from Happy Gilmore, the old Adam Sandler film about a hockey player who found out they could whack a golf ball further than anyone. This is my first golf game, so take everything I say with an appropriately generous pinch of salt and perhaps even a dash of pepper. The good news is that the core golf mechanics are fairly robust and good fun. For a game that involves a giant bloody ape swinging a tiny golf club, Super Rush sure doesn’t like to step out of its comfort zone. And yet…well, I can’t help but think Mario Golf: Super Rush doesn’t want to commit properly to its goofy looks and whacky characters. The vibrant colours, the sparkling special shots, Bowser hammering a ball toward the green – nope, this ain’t your granddaddy’s golf. Luigi turning the green into a patch of ice makes that fairly clear, as does the giant bomb trying to putt. I wanted to score this game a six but I have to acknowledge just how much the Super Rush mode improves on the classic formula.There’s no risk of confusing Mario Golf: Super Rush for the real-world sport of golf. After playing a terrific golf RPG like Golf Story, you'll immediately notice the lack of effort put into this entry's story. Without the Super Rush mechanic, Mario Golf: Super Rush would've been an easily forgettable title. Awkward character movements in Super Rush mode.Empty and soulless overworld in Adventure Mode.In addition, the overworld feels empty and soulless I rarely felt compelled to speak to an NPC and when I did, it was always generic filler.Īs much as the Super Rush mode is a lot of fun and mixes up the formula in a simplistic yet effective way, the characters don't control as fluently as we've come to expect from Nintendo games. While it's a nice way to pad out the game for single-player use (as well as for players who wish to learn the ropes before jumping online), it lacks substance and whatever personality is there feels shoehorned in as an afterthought. The fact that Mario Golf: Super Rush features an Adventure Mode was enough to get many Mario Golf fans excited. Tried and true golf mechanics of the series.With what can only be a shortage of golf carts, having the iconic Nintendo characters dash towards their ball with time being just as important as how many strokes it takes to sink your ball in the hole. This, from the very beginning, is the game's hook (I mean, it's in the title) and it's an absolutely chaotic blast. While it may not doing anything revolutionary in its mechanics, the twist comes with the Super Rush mode. Mario Golf: Super Rush features the tried and true golf mechanics that you'd expect from an entry in the series. It's a way to quicken the formula so players don't need to wait for their next turn and with a new Adventure Mode to boot, it all comes down to execution. In Mario Golf: Super Rush, it's a mad dash to the hole as players must run to wherever their ball lands in order to keep going.
