Speed Golf is a fun addition, but a poor adventure mode, a slight selection of courses and low replayability results in Mario Golf: Super Rush being an underwhelming entry into the series.

Areajugones	Juan Linares	9 / 10	06-24-2021	‎Mario Golf: Super Rush is undoubtedly one of the best installments of recent years. It is able to reward players who opt for traditional golf of all deliveries and at the same time innovate with new game modes that bring more dynamism and fun for those who may not be so familiar with golf. In addition the fun is multiplied in the online modes or with the local co-op for up to 4 players.‎	Read review
Atomix	Sebastian Quiroz	75 / 100	06-30-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush offers solid gameplay and a fun experience. However, some of the formula changes will disappoint more than one.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Dean James	3.5 / 5 stars	07-03-2021	While it may not be the best entry in the series, Nintendo has at least managed to make par with Mario Golf: Super Rush by offering the core arcade style golfing experience players come to expect alongside some enjoyable new game types that will hopefully continue to get even better with future updates.	Read review
AusGamers	Steve Farrelly	6.9 / 10	07-06-2021	Most games from the sport dump you into a links lexicon water hazard, Super Rush, however, assumes a conservative approach to a player’s golf and golf-lingo knowledge, and educates in a manner that isn’t patronising at all. In fact, it’s just a lot of fun without being cheesy or too OTT.	Read review
But Why Tho?	Jason Flatt	7 / 10	06-28-2021	Despite the mulligans I wish Mario Golf: Super Rush could take, it’s still a strongly delivered game any fan of party games and party sport simulators in particular can enjoy alone or with friends.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Manuel Barthes	8.1 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is a successful continuation of the sports series. The new game modes ensure a large portion of games, fun and excitement. This makes it easier to get over the fact that Nintendo is leaving a lot of potential in Adventure Mode. Even that is quickly forgotten when you start with friends in multiplayer. Getting started is easy, but the battle for victory is all the greater.	Read review
CGMagazine	Jordan Biordi	7 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush manages to be a mostly enjoyable experience, but feels undercooked compared to its predecessors.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Charlie Kelly	5 / 10	06-28-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is one of the few games Nintendo puts out that every now and then is a bit of a miss. While trying its best by adding new modes, it doesn’t have the charm, polish and even satisfaction that have come from previous superb titles in the Mario sports series. What it needed to succeed was more doubling down on those beloved Mario characters, more time in the oven and plenty of ways to sink your time. Despite some moments of promise, it failed to match on almost all those fronts.	Read review
COGconnected	Jaz Sagoo	90 / 100	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush’s plethora of options and solid mechanics make this one of the greatest arcade golf video games to date. The inclusion of the exciting, speed-based Rush and Battle modes helps take the genre in a new direction that will appeal to gamers old and new. With an incredible story mode that will keep you hooked throughout and the returning cast of characters in fresh golfing garb, it’s clear Nintendo has hit a glorious stripe down the fairway.	Read review
Cubed3	James Grech	5 / 10	07-29-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush plays as well as it should and introduces some exciting elements to the long-running series. Playing with the right people can make for a fun time… but that’s about it. A poorly executed Adventure Mode, overall lack of creativity and no incentive to keep playing all make for a disappointing package that is more of a step backwards for the franchise. The promise of free DLC updates may alleviate some of these issues, but when looking at it as a full-priced first-party Nintendo product, Super Rush simply isn’t up to par.	Read review
Daily Mirror	Eugene Sowah	4 / 5 stars	06-25-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is everything you could expect from a Nintendo sports game, with flashy graphics and competitive gameplay.	Read review
Daily Star	Tom Hutchison	4 / 5 stars	06-24-2021	Mario Golf is back and is better than ever thanks to a couple of excellent side games called Speed Golf and Battle Golf that really make the sport fun and frantic	Read review
DASHGAMER.com	Bryce Dewit	Recommended	07-02-2021	It would be a shame to miss out on some frantic Mario Golf shenanigans. And hey, a little Birdie told me I have an Eagle eye for a solid Albatross, and I can guarantee that you ain’t no Triple Bogey, you’re on Par with the Hole-in-one hotshots.	Read review
Destructoid	Eric Van Allen	6.5 / 10	07-09-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is still a fairly solid golf experience, but it will need some of that aforementioned post-launch support to match up with previous sports spinoffs for me. It satisfies a craving for some arcade-style golf multiplayer, and I can see myself having some fun playing an 18-hole trek with friends online a few more times. I’m just hoping for some more reasons to keep me coming back.	Read review
Digital Trends	Giovanni Colantonio	3 / 5 stars	06-28-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush features elegant golf systems, but is devoid of content that makes good use of it.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt Sainsbury	3.5 / 5 stars	07-01-2021	I’m very torn on Mario Golf: Super Rush. On the one hand, the aesthetics are gorgeous, the charm is there, and the basic golf mechanics are wonderfully accessible and yet have enough given that there is room to master them. Putting aside the silly “manually chase the ball” nonsense in the story mode, the rest of it feels like a homage back to the original GBC Mario Golf, too, and that’s really nice. I even give a pass to the Battle Golf mode. It may have sucked up development resources and time but… it is great, highly repeatable multiplayer fun.	Read review
Easy Allies	Brandon Jones	3.5 / 5 stars	07-11-2021	With simpler mechanics and more frantic modes, it’s never been faster to play a round of Mario Golf. The gameplay has lots of options, but sadly each mode comes up a few yards short on content.	Read review
Echo Boomer	David Fialho	Not Recommended	07-11-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rsuh can and will be fun when played together with friends as family, rushing to the next hole in chaotic sprints. But for a solo experience, it drags too much, with a boring campaign full of excessive dialogs and tutorials that makes Super Rush, dangerously close to a golf simulator.	Read review
EGM	Michael Goroff	6 / 10	06-24-2021	For the first home console game in the series in nearly two decades, Mario Golf: Super Rush is a bit underwhelming, at least in terms of what it has to offer. Speed Golf and Battle Golf are both great ideas, but they aren’t fleshed out enough to feel like main modes. Golf Adventure is a great way to add depth to what basically amounts to an extended tutorial, but it too suffers from pacing problems. Thankfully, the bulk of the game-the actual golfing-feels better than ever by being both technically challenging and more accessible.	Read review
Eurogamer	Christian Donlan	Recommended	06-24-2021	Running between shots can be chaotic fun, but Mario Golf truly lives in its ever-soothing standard mode.	Read review
Everyeye.it	Cristina Bona	8.5 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush brings a decidedly pleasant Adventure mode to the green, able to intelligently integrate into the overall offer of the title and entertain for a wide number of hours. The latter is joined by the innovative Speed Golf, new entry for the saga, and the even more exuberant Battaglia Golf. Fun and layered gameplay is set by Camelot in a highly customizable setting, which aims to offer the best of itself in the company of friends and family.	Read review
Game Informer	Brian Shea	8.3 / 10	06-24-2021	Whether you want to play 18 holes of traditional golf or blast your opponents into oblivion, Mario Golf: Super Rush is a fun package for both fans and non-fans of the real-life sport	Read review

GameMAG	Unknown	7 / 10	07-06-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is not some life-changing experience, but just like Mario Kart or Mario Party you can expect a fun party game for the whole family.	Read review
GamePro	Tobias Veltin	77 / 100	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush relies on solid golf gameplay and the multiplayer fun factor, but gets bogged down with some innovations.	Read review
GamesBeat	Jeff Grubb	60 / 100	07-12-2021	The adventure isn’t Super Rush’s real flaw. I’m used to the series coming up short in that aspect at this point. Instead, this game’s issue is I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now. If I had time and a regular crew to play against, I imagine we would make an appointment to play the game together. That seems like fun, but it’s also a hassle. And the game doesn’t do much to alleviate the pains of getting a group together.	Read review
GameSkinny	Steven Green	8 / 10	07-01-2021	While Mario Golf: Super Rush isn’t the deepest experience, the arcade gameplay and modes on offer allow it to stay on par.	Read review

GamesRadar+	Ben Tyrer	2.5 / 5 stars	06-24-2021	Swings in multiple different directions without ever making a convincing impact. While Mario Golf: Super Rush isn’t too rough in most places, it’s just not on par compared to other recent golf games.	Read review
GameXplain	GameXplain	Recommended	06-24-2021	Video Review	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Elliot Hilderbrand	7.4 / 10	07-06-2021	Good, not great. Fun yet frustrating. Scratching the itch while giving me athlete’s foot. The new modes feel rushed and not completely thought out to be much more than a stunt. The game feels balanced when choosing which character to play, and the adventure mode will easily fill in the void of playing by yourself, just don’t go looking for a gripping story. Mario Golf: Super Rush tees it off, but has the ball landing in the rough.	Read review
GamingBolt	Pramath	7 / 10	07-03-2021	A lack of content holds Mario Golf Super Rush back, but purely mechanically and in terms of design, it stands as one of Mario’s best sports game outings in a very long time.	Read review
GamingTrend	Elisha Deogracias	85 / 100	07-02-2021	Whether you easily land birdies or struggle with bogeys, Mario Golf: Super Rush is a joy to play with friends and family. With accessible controls and mechanics that appeal to casual fans and hardcore golfers alike, there’s a lot to love with this Mario sports title!	Read review
Geek Culture	Jake Su	7.3 / 10	07-06-2021	A fun addition to the series, Mario Golf: Super Rush is let down by a subpar story mode that fails to build on the history of the franchise.	Read review
God is a Geek	Adam Cook	8 / 10	06-24-2021	While the single player adventure is a little underwhelming, Mario Golf: Super Rush is a terrific multiplayer experience I can see being added to over the years. Next up, Mario Strikers, right?	Read review
GotGame	David Poole	7.5 / 10	07-17-2021	While Mario Golf: Super Rush doesn’t feel like a complete package yet, it has a solid foundation. What it lacks in content and features, it makes up for it with a stellar presentation and fun new modes. It would’ve been great to have some incentive to play more modes aside from unlocking star clubs, but maybe we’ll get changes in future updates. With a lot of additional free content on the way, there’s still a chance that Super Rush can become a great title. For now, it scratches the Mario Golf itch just enough, but still falls a bit short. Overall, the game is simply par for the course. Nothing less, nothing more.	Read review
GRYOnline.pl	Michał Grygorcewicz	7 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is a golf simulator, that doesn’t take itself seriously. This makes the game very pleasant. What is more, the game introduces some innovations to the formula which makes it feel pretty complete. It’s a pity that Mario Golf is a “party game” focused heavily on 4-person competitive play.

Guardian	Keza MacDonald	3 / 5 stars	06-24-2021	The innovation of players running around after their shots is fun but you may find yourself longing for a leisurely stroll over the course	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Sam Spyrison	3.5 / 5 stars	06-29-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush strengthens the core gameplay with its faster pace and strong fundamentals, but the barebones package will likely leave players wanting more.	Read review
Hey Poor Player	Andrew Thornton	2.5 / 5 stars	06-30-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush isn’t an unplayable game. The core golf is actually quite good, despite some changes, which will have a mixed reception from players. Almost everything around it, however, is either poorly thought out, lacking any personality, or lacking in content. Perhaps down the line, more content will fill it out enough that you can have fun playing only the parts which work, but Camelot has a lot of work to do to get this one to par.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Alberto Lloret	85 / 100	06-24-2021	It doesn’t matter if you like golf or not. Nintendo has turned it all over to make this slow sport a pure craziness with running, special shots or traps, making choices that will appeal all kind of gamers. All topped with an exquisite control and nice and colorful graphics. It’s a shame that the story mode and online don’t offer a little more…	Read review
IGN	Simon Cardy	6 / 10	06-24-2021	Speed Golf is a fun addition, but a poor adventure mode, a slight selection of courses and low replayability results in Mario Golf: Super Rush being an underwhelming entry into the series.	Read review
IGN Italy	Fabio Canonico	7.5 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush manages to combine the proven interpretation of the game of golf according to Camelot with delicious gameplay news. From the point of view of content, however, it is not entirely convincing.	Read review
IGN Spain	Álex Pareja	7 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is a good return, very fun and fulfilling for the game with friends and online competition. It’s a shame that he remains somewhat bland alone, with a story mode that is no more than compliant.	Read review
KeenGamer	Dakota Gordon	6 / 10	06-28-2021	After a near-two-decade break, the Mario Golf franchise is back on home consoles, with a speedy twist. Play as a large cast of Mario characters old and new and hit the greens once again with Mario Golf: Super Rush. Is it worth playing, or should the storied franchise have stayed dormant?	Read review

LevelUp	Pedro Pérez Cesari	6.5 / 10	07-09-2021	Mario Golf Super Rush has solid golf mechanics, but a lack of content and charisma transform it into an unforgettable experience.	Read review
Luis Alamilla	Luis Alamilla	7 / 10	06-26-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is a welcomed returned to form for the Mario Golf series and the Mario Sports genre as a whole. Having an RPG story mode is a nice return but I wish it dove deeper into it rather than just at the surface level. The new speed golf makes for a fun party mode that tickles that new Mario Kart itch I’ve been feeling for quite a few years now. While it may not the sharpest-looking Switch game, it more than makes up for it with a beautiful saturated world that’s filled with personality and beauty. Hopefully, we see some more content releases for this in the future because with some DLC courses and the well fleshed out online multiplayer, I could see myself playing Super Rush for months to come. As is though, it’s a solid entry for the series that won’t blow you away but will scratch the series itch.	Read review
Merlin’in Kazanı	Samet Basri Taşlı	75 / 100	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is an easy-to-learn, fun party game. It brings a new and funny perspective to golf games.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	8 / 10	06-24-2021	The best Mario Golf game since the N64 original and while it does have some odd ideas they’re almost all optional, resulting in an impressively comprehensive sporting experience.	Read review
Nintendo Enthusiast	Jaimie Ditchfield	6 / 10	06-29-2021	Ultimately, Mario Golf: Super Rush is an underwhelming spin-off that lacks any sort of imagination but is still fun to play. Super Rush features accessible golfing mechanics that are easy to understand, with tutorials available at any time. There are some genuinely charming moments in the single-player Golf Adventure mode too, but they don’t make up for the tedious progression system. The other modes such as Speed Golf are fun to play with a group of friends, but online performance is abysmal. If you are after another fun “party” game, then you may be interested in giving Mario Golf: Super Rush a spin, but this game could have been much more than what it is.	Read review
Nintendo Life	Thomas Whitehead	7 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is a game that in many respects hits its marks. Golf Adventure has plenty of charm and offers a fun way to learn various mechanics and unlock courses. Away from that solo endeavour there are decent options and customisation for multiplayer games, local or online, button controls or motion-based swinging. It’s not a premium effort, however, with a nagging feeling of corners cut and at times an absence of creativity. However, many players should get a good amount of fun out of this one, both solo and with friends. This ain’t the Masters, but for Mario Golf fans it is a solid par.	Read review
Nintendo Wire	Ricky Berg	7 / 10	07-09-2021	Like any promising golfer, it has the makings of greatness and just needs to work on its personal bests to come up under par next time.	Read review
NintendoWorldReport	Jordan Rudek	6.5 / 10	06-29-2021	It should have been a culmination of the home and handheld versions of Mario Golf, and instead it largely squanders that potential. Only time will tell if content drops for the game will bring it up to par. For now, you’ll have to play it as it lies.	Read review
Operation Sports	Kevin Scott	Recommended	07-02-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is pretty much everything I could want out of a Mario Golf title. Its brand of simple but rewarding golf serves as a sturdy foundation that allows the game to build on it with all sorts of ways to play against and have you interact with your opponents. The Golf Adventure single-player mode is a helpful and entertaining way to learn the lay of the land and refine the skills of your Mii before pitting your skills against other opponents online. Unfortunately, the online play could have been improved with the implementation of some intelligent matchmaking.	Read review
Paste Magazine	Waverly	5 / 10	07-13-2021	My biggest problem with Mario Golf: Super Rush is that it rarely reaches a point where it’s consistently entertaining. It all feels too safe, and too conservative. It feels like a by-the-books Mario sports game. It doesn’t seem like it can support the hours spent with friends that you expect from the series. It’s simply a shell of moustaches and rainbows to remind me of the fun times that were once had.	Read review
PCMag	Jordan Minor	4 / 5 stars	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush puts delightfully fast-paced twists on arcade-style golf, both in its hilarious multiplayer modes and robust, solo adventures.	Read review

Rapid Reviews UK	Rob Lake	4 / 5 stars	06-30-2021	When it comes to professions that cheeky Nintendo mascot Mario, and his band of chums seem to have done it all. From Kart racing, playing Doctor, and even dabbling with DIY – Mario has been there, done that, and gotten the t-shirt. Now it’s over to golf with the recent release of Mario Golf: Super Rush. But does this all-star sequel head straight to the green? Or does it flounder in the fairway? Come with me as I find out.	Read review
Rice Digital	Pete Davison	Recommended	06-29-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush’s adventure mode probably won’t take you a long time to clear — likely somewhere around the 6-10 hour mark, depending on how many times you have to retry the tougher challenges — but it’s a great introduction to what the game has to offer, and a perfect example of how Nintendo is willing to infuse one of the most slow-paced, potentially boring sports in the world with a sense of energy, personality and dynamism.	Read review
RPGamer	Paul Shkreli	2.5 / 5 stars	07-23-2021	There is no disputing this is an enjoyable, albeit brief, single-player golf game that provides the framework for a compelling gameplay experience. The lack of content — number of courses, weak online play, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Adventure mode — is the real problem here.	Read review
Screen Rant	Cade Onder	3 / 5 stars	06-24-2021	Super Rush is fun, but leaves a lot to be desired.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Matúš Štrba	8.5 / 10	06-24-2021	Probably the best Mario Golf game so far with amazingly addictive Speed Golf.	Read review
Shacknews	Ozzie Mejia	6 / 10	06-29-2021	The focus on speed and chaos is what ultimately undoes Mario Golf: Super Rush. I would say that when it comes to Mario Golf, slow and steady wins the race, except this game has shown me that racing and golf don’t really mix.	Read review
SpazioGames	Valentino Cinefra	7.3 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is an interesting and fun take on golf, but the adventure mode is lazy and could have delivered way more.	Read review
Stevivor	Ben Salter	7 / 10	06-26-2021	Mario Golf Super Rush remains easy to pick up and play, but it’s lacking the final coat of polish we expect from Nintendo games, and is light on content for a full priced Switch game. It’s a Mario sport game that can be picked up and played by a wide audience, but has positioned itself to only really appeal to dedicated fans of Mario Golf.	Read review

The Games Machine	Stefano Calzati	8 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush transforms the most relaxing sport into a frantic race across the courses of the Mushroom Kingdom! Many modes, many ways to play golf, between battles and classic matches, adventures and boss fights, all relying on a great control system.	Read review
The Outerhaven Productions	Tyler Kelbaugh	Not Recommended	07-08-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is a frustrating game from a frustrating developer. Camelot seems to have learned nothing from Mario Tennis Aces’ poor launch, and with future updates promised, it seems they aim to fix Super Rush’s flaws through content updates. Make no mistake – Mario Tennis Aces is a better title than Mario Golf: Super Rush, but perhaps Super Rush will follow in its footsteps once again and turn into a better game in a couple of months. For now, this is a title with great ideas that are held back by amateurish development choices.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Stefan L	7 / 10	06-24-2021	It’s great to see Mario Golf: Speed Rush reviving another Mario sports franchise for Nintendo Switch, but it’s a game that feels that restrained in some places and muddled in others. The Adventure mode loses its focus half way through, and it lacks course variety, but underneath it all, this is still a fun, accessible and often frantic golf game that is easy to enjoy.	Read review
VG247	Alex Donaldson	Not Recommended	06-24-2021	Mario’s latest sporting adventure doesn’t exactly have the greatest story mode, but its core gameplay and modes are excellent.	Read review
VGChartz	Paul Broussard	5 / 10	07-16-2021	There are a few interesting ideas with some potential but they’re never get put to full use, and there’s nowhere near enough content to justify the asking price.	Read review
Video Chums	A.J. Maciejewski	9.1 / 10	06-24-2021	With its frantic new modes and spot-on gameplay, playing Mario Golf: Super Rush is the most amount of fun I’ve had with a sports game in a very long time. Throw in that iconic Nintendo charm and comprehensive multiplayer and you’re left with a hole-in-one.	Read review
Video Games Chronicle	Chris Scullion	3 / 5 stars	06-24-2021	Super Rush plays a great game of golf but is somewhat more restrained than other Mario Golf titles. Future DLC could potentially change this, but at launch it’s merely entertaining, not essential.	Read review
Washington Post	Christopher Byrd	80FALSE	07-03-2021	Is nostalgia and love of golf enough to carry “Mario Golf” as a whole? It has enough just to keep players interested. During a multiplayer session with Nintendo, I got to run around in Battle Golf and Speed Golf. Much of the fun came from other people’s reactions to landing bogeys or particularly clean shots. If you happen to have a gaggle of friends who love golf, this just might be the game for you. Otherwise, “Mario Golf” falls flat on its own.	Read review
Wccftech	Nathan Birch	9 / 10	06-24-2021	Mario Golf: Super Rush is the plumber’s best sports outing in a good long time, featuring smartly-revamped core mechanics, beautiful, varied courses, clever new modes, and a single-player Adventure full of fun twists. The game may be a bit light on content (something Nintendo is promising to address with free updates), but aside from that, Mario’s form is close to flawless this time around.	Read review
WellPlayed	Kieron Verbrugge	7 / 10	07-07-2021	Mario Golf Super Rush is competent, and it shows flashes of creativity in its Speed Golf and Battle Golf modes, but the package ultimately loses momentum a little too quickly. Still, with friends it’s a blast, so if you’ve got a good group of friends that’re ready to don some plaid plumber’s overalls you’re in luck.	Read review
ZTGD	Ken McKown	7 / 10	07-28-2021	Mario Golf Super Rush feels rushed. There are no bones about it. I feel like they could make it a great game over time with more content, but I worry the tail of this particular game won’t be as long as some other Nintendo titles. You wonder how much the pandemic was involved in its lack of content, but for the first time in a long time this feels like a $40 Nintendo game, and that just never happens.	Read review
