Mario Golf Super Rush is the latest in the weirdly-suitable Mario sports games. First revealed during the February 2021 Nintendo Direct, the game's finally arriving in a few days.

Mario Golf Super Rush Release Date: June 25, 2021

Mario Golf Super Rush comes out on June 25, 2021, for the Nintendo Switch.

In spite of its innate appearances, Super Rush is a respectable golf simulation game through and through. Its mechanics and design have depth and difficulty to give enough challenge. At the same time, it has accessibility options that make it family-friendly and playable by anyone, anywhere. Marked by Nintendo's family-friendly design and friendly charm, don't be fooled by the game's theme.

To prevent the game from being an Everybody's Golf with Mario plastered over it, Super Rush adds an interesting game mode. The gimmicky Speed Golf and Battle Golf add elements to your regular golf course to make things more challenging and interesting. Granted, it might be a hit or miss for golf fans, but it's definitely a cool game mode to be played at parties. Both game modes feature prominently in Nintendo's Treehouse live stream at E3 2021.

Mario Golf Super Rush also features an adventure mode. Take your player-created Mii character through a career in golf, going up against your favorite Mario characters in various golf courses. Win matches against others and earn skill points to improve your Mii's golfing stats. Aim to become the best Mii golfer around, and compete against your golf buddies!

Preliminary reviews for the game have come in. Famitsu gave the game a score of 33 (8,8,8,9), reports Video Game Chronicle. In a couple of days, we'll see more review scores, but a high grade from Famitsu is a good indication of the game's quality.
