The Mushroom Kingdom will be hitting the greens soon in Mario Golf Super Rush, and there is now a full cast of characters and special moves for players to learn about. 

A Mario golf game is something Nintendo fans have become accustomed to over the years, with Mario and his beloved crew often adventuring into different sports such as tennis and soccer.

Now, Mario Golf Super Rush has released a brand new trailer featuring an ample amount of content that will be within the game come launch. There is a lot to unpack here, so let’s run over everything that was revealed in the new trailer!

Characters and special moves revealed

One of the shining details we received from this new trailer was the full cast of characters that players will be able to play when the game release. Before, we only knew of the standard Mario characters such as Luigi and Peach would be in the game.

Another aspect of these characters is that they all have their own unique special moves that players will be able to use on the course. These moves are unique to each character, but we do not know all of them as of now.

As one would guess, Bowser has a significantly higher power rating than Mario. Below is a full list of all characters in Mario Golf Super Rush, along with the special moves we know right now.

Let’s run over some of the game modes that will be within Mario Golf Super Rush.

Battle Golf

This game mode is a simple one, and it is basically a condensed version of a regular golf game. Players will battle it out over nine holes, and the first player to win three holes wins it all!

Speed Golf

The more frantic game mode that will be in Mario Golf Super Rush, Speed Golf is all about, you guessed it, speed. Players will have to race after each shot with their player, taking advantage of the character’s stamina rating.

The ultimate goal is to be the first player to finish the hole, and along the way, you can collect certain items over the course that will regenerate your stamina and increase your speed. Golfers will also be able to use special speed dashes, which should gain the upper hand over some slower characters.

Golf Adventure

Last but not least is the single-player campaign game mode, Golf Adventure. As you would guess, this game mode will take you on a journey throughout the multiple courses in the game, and you will be able to level up your character to mold them into the best golfer possible.

You will use your already created Mii throughout this game mode, and there is a dedicated village where you can talk with the characters of the game. As well, not only will you be golfing on course in this game mode, but you will be tasked with all sorts of challenges.

Hopefully, you can become the best golfer in the Mushroom Kingdom in no time!
