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.

It's great to see another Mario sports franchise being revived for Nintendo Switch, but this one feels somewhat restrained in some places and muddled in others.

The moments where everything comes together and the game genuinely feels fun are far too rare. Obviously, given it's from Nintendo, you know that Mario Golf: Super Rush will be competently made, and you could never describe it as a bad game. But there's a difference between not bad, and genuinely good or enjoyable - and it's a gulf that Mario Golf: Super Rush never quite manages to get out of.

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.
