Players who want to know the ins and outs of Mario Golf so that they can impress — or alienate — their friends should check out the following awesome things they didn’t know they could do in the game. Pulling off these tricks will be quite impressive indeed!
7 Rebounding A Shot Off Of A Hard Surface
Most people who think that trick shots are impossible in Mario Golf: Super Rush haven’t experimented around with the game all that often. After all, there’s one very easy way to nail these trick shots in the game — simply bounce your golf ball off of a hard surface and direct it towards the hole!
Of course, pulling off such a tricky shot is easier said than done. However, players who don’t mind taking this risk and want to experiment with the mechanics of Mario Golf should definitely try this shot out.
6 Using Characters With A Higher Spin Stat To Add More Curve Sections To A Shot
In Mario Golf: Super Rush, players can unlock different Star Clubs for various characters after using them multiple times across a host of different courses. These powerful Star Clubs not only boast greater power but also increase a character’s Spin stat, allowing players to curve their shot multiple times as well!
The possibilities that this opens up are quite incredible, with players being able to curve a shot in multiple directions with ease. From avoiding obstacles to simply launching some impressive-looking shots — players should unlock these Star Clubs as soon as possible in order to increase their enjoyment with Mario Golf: Super Rush.
5 Activating Special Shots To Increase Overall Shot Distance
Power matters a ton in Mario Golf: Super Rush. Without adequate power, the player might take more strokes to get the ball down the hole. This makes it somewhat frustrating to play with characters who don’t really have a ton of power in the first place.
This is where the benefits of a Special Shot come into the picture. While the main objective of these shots is to impede other players from getting a good shot in, these special shots also have the added benefit of increasing the power of a shot, letting players reach areas that were inaccessible before.
4 Gathering Coins To Increase The Special Shot Meter
As is the case with any Mario game, Mario Golf: Super Rush also features coins that the players can collect if they wish. However, outside of the main story mode, most players have no idea what purpose these coins serve and only collect them for the sake of it.
These players should know that collecting coins increases the Special Shot Meter, allowing players to access these shots more often. This is also why a player should avoid getting hit by stage hazards since it depletes their Special Shot Meter and makes them lose some coins in the process too.
3 Gauging Shot Power Based On The Hole’s Elevation
Most people would assume that they need to measure the power of the shot so that it reaches the red flag. While this is a safe tactic, for the most part, players need to realize that the elevation of the shot also determines how much power needs to be applied as well.
If the hole is downhill, then players should ideally apply less power. Conversely, holes that are placed uphill need more power so that the ball can reach the hole instead of falling well below the desired mark.
2 Applying Spin Based On A Hole’s Incline
The uphill or downhill placement of a hole doesn’t just govern the power that needs to be applied on a shot — it also governs the kind of spin that needs to be applied on the shot too.
Holes on a downhill slope should ideally have a backspin so that the ball doesn’t roll too far after being hit. Similarly, players should use either standard spin or topspin to hit shots on an uphill slope. As long as the power and accuracy are correct, most shots should reach the hole with ease.
1 Putting Is Viable Even Before Reaching The Green
Putting is the best way to finish off a hole in Mario Golf: Super Rush and the game acknowledges this as well by automatically initiating a putt once the player is near the hole. However, what most players might miss out on is that they can initiate a putt well before reaching the green.
As long as the player’s ball isn’t on any undesired terrain, they can start putting from the fairway into the green as long as the distance is ideal. This is a great way to land a long putt or just get the ball as close to the hole as possible instead of having to rely on a chip shot.
