Mario Golf Super Rush

Mario Golf Super Rush is one of the many sports entries in the Mario Sports series, by Nintendo this one in particular was developed by Camelot Software. 

Basically the game revolves around being the top golfer in the Mushroom Kingdom. 

Gameplay wise its Golf get as less strokes as you can possible get to reach the hole, for the best possible score you can have. 

You can switch to motion controls too if you wish. 

Each character in the game's roster has a unique Special Shot ability to take advantage of. A Special Shot is charged up over the course of a match and once activated gives every club a higher shot power and a unique ball gimmick that's designed to disrupt an opponent.   

The Special Shot can be toggled off or on before a match 

Speed Golf, a newly introduced mode for the Mario Golf series, has players race to complete courses in the fastest time, rather than with the fewest strokes. After each swing, players must run across the course toward their ball to take their next shot, dealing with other players and obstacles along the way. 

A second new mode called Battle Golf also makes its debut. The mode takes place on a special course with nine holes and similarly to Speed Golf has players race to sink their ball into three of the holes as quickly as possible. 

A third new mode called Target Golf was introduced later via a post-launch update. In Target Golf the goal is to have the most points after five shots have been made by the player/players. There are three targets with four scoring zones in each and a player can score more points the closer their ball ends up to a target. When a zone is scored it can't be used to add more score and when a player hits the last zone in a target the player who made the shot gains additional points towards their final tally. During play special balls can replace every players ball, with each special ball having different kinds of effects such as scoring more points in a zone or changing how the ball itself will land. The Special Shot abilities can not be used whatsoever in this mode. 

The game features a story mode titled "Golf Adventure" that includes role-playing game elements like gaining experience and stat progression. 

Players control their own customizable Mii as they become students in a country club, train, and face-off against competition from the Mushroom Kingdom. 

Players have the option to compete in a competitive online space as well, called a Ranked Match. These competitive matches place players against other players from around the world, based on their current ranking. Each Ranked Match includes three holes from one of the game's courses, where the player with the best score wins. To advance in ranking, a player must complete multiple online Ranked Matches, with wins earning more points than losses. 

The graphics and art is pretty good. 

The game does have elements of JRPG from leveling up to improve your abilities, in golf like how far you can pitch.  

The game apparently had a lack of content at launch initially from what i looked up and its no surprise really considering Nintendo’s latest habit of selling over priced half finished games as of late. 

The music is pretty decent too.

Overall it was an average game.

It gets 3 out of 5 stars. 

Nintendo has been honestly just manipulating Camelot into milking the Mario sports games like they have with Next Level Games, instead of working on concluding, the Golden Sun games, which Camelot really needs to get back to working on instead of the sports games if you ask me.
