Like Golf but With Mario | Mario Golf : Super Rush REVIEW

Did they patch in the ability to give CPUs better clubs or something? I couldn't do it, then I looked it up and found a bunch of forums of people talking about how you can't do it. And now people are saying you can, and when I try I can, BUT only when selecting a random CPU--not a specific character. Whether it got added early on or I just missed it the first time it's good that it's there, though I'm not sure why it's tied only to random characters. I just hope those little stars actually add a good amount of challenge.

[@Yaered]

No, CPU's are just dumb in this game, no difficulty selection is quite terrible for it. Only thing you can do to make it harder is to have them at super star, and even then, they make random dumb decisions. Game itself is rather barebones single player side, just hope they update it to make it not so empty in content.

[@Skipper93653]

There is actually a hidden mode which makes the CPUs actually good at the game. Play Golf > Standard Golf > Button Controls > 1 Controller > Point Play, Take Turns > Total 2, Human 1. These settings make the CPUs good but some characters are better CPUs than others, I recommend going against a Mario, Wario, or Toad CPU with these settings because they give you a good challenge.

I agree

[@Hawlo]

Over the years I've come to realize that Mario sports games are better off being rented a few times than being bought. The content just isn't there for $60 (though I guess this is subjective) and I imagine a group of people that plays it would rather jump to something more fun like Mario Party, Kart, or the go-to party game: Smash, after a while of playing Mario sports.

[@rg03500]

I kind of agree. As a kid I'd have friends over at least once a week or so and we'd play a ton of games, so couch co-op Mario sports games were amazing. As an adult who never has friends over to play video games anymore, I get basically 0 value out of those kinds of titles.

It's kinda weird considering how real detailed he looked in Tropical Freeze which was made for a game console with 2 GB ram. Yet, he looked a bit like -Woody- a plastic toy in a game made for a console with more amount of ram. I honestly think those game developers should have been more talented with 3D models considering my past fun experiences of drawing Chimata Tenkyuu herself.

I want to know what is going on at Camelot. It seems like after Ultra Smash's failure, they wanted to try making innovations with their sports gameplay but end up forgetting about the variety and amount in their content. While I love that they are trying new things with the gameplay, it doesn't amount to much when there is soo little to do. Also, they seem to be kinda bad at making Story Modes now.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

It's really really weird considering Camelot as a whole is basically going though Paper Mario's slump. Their bread and butter were RPG's, damn good ones at that. Some of them even with Mario in them! But it feels like ever since Golden Sun Dark Dawn was a disappointment, they've been too afraid to make an RPG ever again. Hell, Super Rush's story mode now that I think about it, is kinda recycling the 3DS "story mode" that was tossing a Mii in and playing as them with some challenges, only this game has a level up system.

[@PikaPhantomVG]

I think part of it is that they're a very small studio by today's standards - Wikipedia has them listed at 45 employees, and that figure is pretty recent too. HD development isn't easy and takes a lot of resources compared to their past work for standard definition and pixel-based systens

[@koishiwii8370]

Shouldn't the employees be super talented with game development? The game would have turned out to be actually good like that. Heck, I've played Epic Battle Fantasy 5 and Unconnected Marketeers and these both games turned out to be masterpieces IMO despite being made by tiny teams.

Having this be your first Mario Golf is like having Star Allies be your first kirby game. You wont get why people liked the series in question and you might not even be inclined to play the other games because of it. Another reason why Nintendo not re-releasing older entires only does more harm than good.

[@FedoraKirb]

Maybe Nintendo should just... make better games then? They shouldn’t have to rely on their older games, they should improve on them. Don’t get me wrong, I love Star Allies, but, despite the team trying to “streamline” the Kirby experience established in Return to Dream Land, it’s a TERRIBLE first entry for anyone over the age of thirteen, since it takes the two things the series is criticized for the most (lack of difficulty and content) and turns them up to 11 them for all but the most dedicated completionists without really improving the RtDL formula in any meaningful way. Forgive me if this sounds whiny or entitled or whatever, but I shouldn’t have to tell Arlo, or anyone, to play the 3DS entries to get a feel for the series at its best to make up for Star Allies being underwhelming, even if it mostly redeemed itself through its post-launch content.

[@blacktainfalcon7097]

@@FedoraKirb Nintendo made neither this game or Kirby Star Allies. They were made by Camelot and HAL respectively.

[@FedoraKirb]

@@blacktainfalcon7097 You’re right, that’s on their respective companies, but they’re all under the Nintendo banner since these are Nintendo-owned and -published series. Sorry, I kind of ramble a bit in my original reply, since this comment just reminded me how frustrated I am that Star Allies was Arlo’s and a lot of people’s first Kirby game... it really makes me want the rest of the modern games on Switch so that others can see what the series does so well.

[@Yukinari2007]

@@FedoraKirb I dont disagree but its just really funny when youtubers who mainly cover Nintendo describe features and content that previous games had or did better.

[@ntnima]

I recall the GBA Mario Golf story mode quite fondly. It really kept me in there to tick all the boxes.

[@theotherjared9824]

These mario sports games feel like testing grounds for future releases. After years of going off the rails, Camelot is pulling themselves together and trying to turn their franchises around. That's why the games have been structurally sound but light on content, they are proving to the world they can still make good sport games. Charging full price for them is another discussion I don't want to have right now.

[@Duskool]

Also applies to Super Mario Party being just a test to release Superstars...

It’s a lot more simplified and a lot easier to predict where your shots will land.

Yeah, this game was fun, but it really runs out of steam too quickly due to lack on content. I think some of the previous Mario Golf games were way better. There are no Tournament, Ring Shot, Skins Match, One-On One Putt, Club Slots, or Coin Collector modes. Those offered hours of extra gameplay. There aren't even any unlockable characters and you can't customize your Mii's outfit nearly as much as World Tour. I really hope for some more content soon as I currently shelved the game after only a couple weeks of play. Once you complete Story Mode, you're only really left with online play. I will say this game is quite fun with friends, but you'll eventually get bored of the same six courses.

Motoi Sakuraba composes the sweeping tracks of all the Mario Tennis and Golf games. He's both praised and critiqued for his generic yet heroic scores in the Golden Sun and Tales of series. I find that I like Sakuraba's music in the Camelot sports games, and it gives those games even more of an identity from the zanier beats of other Mario games. Other notable franchises Sakuraba's composed for: Kid Icarus Uprising, the Star Ocean RPGs, and the Dark Souls games.

Has anyone else noticed the Mario spin-off curse? We get amazing experiences that typically peaked during the game cube era, and then the Wii era changed things up but is still enjoyable, and then the 3ds and Wii U just ruin it all.

Pls try Toadstool Tour on the gamecube. It's SUCH a better game. I like it because curving your shot wasn't a timing minigame and instead if you wanted your shot to curve X amount, you just tell it to curve x amount while aiming (as apposed to rather than TIMING your curve as you are SWINGING). It made it feel WAY more like a puzzle/strategy game in that aspect as you had more fine-tune control.

I'm a pretty avid Mario Golf fan. Played both the N64 version and Toadstool Tour on the GC for years. I was STOKED when they finally announced a new one and I gotta admit it's almost everything I hoped for. The gameplay's a little different, but it's still challenging in all the right ways. I miss all of the extra modes and challenges and unlockables and stuff from the older games, but I'm hoping for more in updates.

I agree with 100% of everything here! Having played the old Mario Golf for N64 for years and wanting to return to it over and over again my gripes with SR are with things Mr. Arlo won’t know having not played it. THE MUSIC was so iconic in the original game it FELT so much like you were on a golf course making the most of a Saturday morning. In this one the music is so hectic I just want to finish the round and get off the course. It’s not memorable AT ALL! To open a new course in the old game you had to play in a normal golf tournament and win (or come close to it) and the battles to get new characters were sooooo epic! Birdie badges were so fun to work for! Finally getting one was one of the most satisfying moments of my youth and I actually play real golf too! Anyway, here’s to hoping there is an update coming that lets the story feel better and deeper, gives us 4 player speed golf (please please please!) and (100% correct on this one) give us cross country golf as an option!!

At the risk of being an odd man out, I really enjoyed this game. I think the core gameplay feels great and smooth, and while I normally like slow thinking games, I find Speed Golf to be a real thrill. It adds the right kind and amount of Mario charm to the mode. I do agree with Arlo on the story mode, I’m a single-player guy, so the story mode being short was a slight disappointment and weirdly-paced. It is fun while you’re going through it (besides that one d*mn hole in XC Golf), and the boss fights are fun, but it definitely feels like Camelot was hurting to give it more time in the oven. Don’t get me wrong, the game is far from perfect, and I don’t see a full $60 worth of content, but I like what’s there. I find the mechanics very fun and natural-feeling, despite some fans’ insistence that more complex controls would make it better, this is just my own opinion. I think multiplayer content is fine though some settings are uneven like Arlo says, and more story mode content would be great. This is the kind of game that fixes its problems with content updates given its strong base imo, and I’m looking forward to them. Also, I’m a little sad Arlo doesn’t care for the OST. I get the “generic” complaint and all, maybe it’s just me, but I never get tired of Motoi Sakuraba’s work.

I want mini-golf from the n64 Mario golf that mode was fun with friends

[@metaltom2003]

The sad thing is that Mario Golf (World Tour?) for 3DS had tons of content compared to this one.

[@lief_leaf]

I have ZERO intention to ever buy Mario Golf. But I still watch Arlo's reviews =)

Whoever designed the qualifier round for Ridgerock Lake needs a long, hard talk on fair, non-frustrating challenge design.

[@justauryon]

It's my first Mario Golf game - prior to it, I played a lot Hot Shots Golf. Honestly, I have been enjoying it after a work day - super chill and takes the day's stresses away. I can see how folks wish there was more content, I'll probably have those same feels once I complete the story mode. Still excited to play with friends and family, and now curious about the one I missed on the 3DS. Maybe I'll have to pick that one up as well.

The updates to this game are really good. You can change the CPU difficulty, you get more courses, more game modes, more characters.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

This is without a doubt the most open minded review of Super Rush I've seen to date. I do appreciate the comparisons between this and Aces, and while neither are as good as they should be, at least they aren't on the same level as Ultra Smash! Not to say I don't want them to be better, because I really do! But seeing a more optimistic perspective is actually quite refreshing, even if it's coming from someone with little experience with pass Mario sports games.

[@jamescarwin8968]

We need more Kane!!!!

[@jackthememer1186]

I really enjoyed Super Rush, it definitely needed a few more courses but we are getting those for free! I also thought the story mode was a lot better than Aces story mode even though that games story mode was fine for me.

[@barelyhere7200]

get a new courses for free is good at all but that still doesn’t change the fact that I fell unfinished at launch. Those free courses are things that should’ve been there from the beginning because the game needed more courses especially in battle golf. Also most likely by the time we get new horses most people would’ve stopped caring about the game by then. I do agree with you that the story mode is better than aces but that’s not really a high bar to cross now is it. I like the story mode but I have a Lotta problems with it but I don’t really feel like getting into that right now😅

Great review! Cross country golf seems contentious, but I’m glad to hear someone enjoyed it. Kane’s segment was fun, but I feel like his more casual style clashed with Arlo’s tighter scripts. Hope they keep working to find a more natural way to connect both viewpoints in a single video.

[@mortonandroy]

Oh, if you want a MUCH better golf adventure experience, play Mario Golf Advance Tour on the GBA! It's incredible!

[@CitrusArchitect]

Arlo, I think you should really try golf story! Super great and expensive in the game with a lot of love that went into it - it’s trying to be a sports RPG from the get-go, so there’s tons of variety, tons of different challenges, and the characters in writing are really fun! Highly recommend it. Also, love hearing your editors opinions! Please continue that going forward!

[@TexasDragon]

As someone who’s played Mario Golf 64, Toadstool Tour and even World Tour (for years) the options and game modes in this game you have to play with are SEVERELY lacking in comparison. I’m talking like, this shouldn’t even be $60. There was SO MUCH MORE things you could do in the previous entries that this game almost feels like a slap in the face in comparison. It’s exactly the same thing with Mario Tennis Aces. I have no clue who in the heck is making the decisions to purposely leave out the content of the previous games, but I hope they know that it’s a good way to not have customers keep coming back to the game again and again. I know it’s on purpose because they have looked back at what was in the games before to get a better idea on how to make the game for a modern audience. It’s not a far off idea that someone working on this game said,”Hey, let’s get some of those game modes and implement them here too.” However, my gut feeling tells me that someone from up top of either Camelot or Nintendo had told the development team “NO!” “Why?” “Because...money reasons!” This kinda stuff has made me feel less confident in Mario sports titles in the future. And if Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Golf Super Rush is anything to go by then I’m probably gonna pass at least on the Camelot Mario sports games. Now I’m gonna go back and have a good time on Toadstool Tour. Next Level Games PLEASE save us with another Mario Strikers game 😭

I wonder what the hell is going on at Camelot for Mario Tennis and Golf to be like this. If I’m ever going to buy this, it’ll be after the game was done updating.
