Mario Golf: Super Rush review | Switch
43Mario Golf: Super Rush is a very strange game. On the one hand, the single player is bizarre to the point of almost feeling unfinished. It's over before it begins, and serves as a tutorial for the rest of the meat of the game. And that's the other hand: the multiplayer. An exquisitely designed mish-mash of arcade golf and ludicrous fun, and where Mario Golf: Super Rush truly comes to life.
Playing with your Mii, who you've built up to have major control and swerve (though I found 2 bars of swerve were enough) is rewarding. Being able to power your shot, then hold left on the stick to get major fade or draw around a 10-foot tall Pokey is immensely satisfying. Likewise, once you learn how to lob, and the timing mechanics are introduced... well, I won't spoil the fun here.
Mario Golf: Super Rush is a terrific game with friends. It's also mechanically thoughtful and rewarding. It's only really let down by the fact that outside a fairly lackluster adventure mode, you will need to get online, or play locally. I couldn't shake the feeling the entire time that it felt a bit like a second tier game, as though it was lacking some polish. But it's a tremendous arcade game of golf that will keep us all busy until we get a new Mario Strikers, because that has to be next, right?
