The trailer spends a considerable amount of time highlighting the new Speed Golf mode. In it, four players tee off at the same time and must get through the course quickly while avoiding the various obstacles that appear. Each character has their own special dash ability, so players will want to pick an opportune moment to unleash the move during a race.

Battle Golf is a variation of Speed Golf that takes place on a single course. Participants must claim any of the nine holes before the competition, and the first to score three wins.

As we saw when the game was first revealed, Super Rush will also feature a Golf Adventure mode, which stars Mii characters. This mode will have light RPG elements, allowing players to level up their Mii as they explore and interact with famous characters from the Mushroom Kingdom.

Super Rush boasts 16 playable characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. It includes familiar faces like Mario and Luigi, along with newcomers such as Pauline.

The trailer covers some of the game’s techniques such as curve shots, spin shots, and the shot gauge. Super Rush uses a traditional system where players need to press a button twice to properly hit a shot. The shot gauge will curve to indicate the effect a slope will have on the ball.

Golfers wont have to wait long, as Mario Golf: Super Rush launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on June 25, 2021.

5 big details from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s new trailer that you may have missed

Link stands near allied humans and Gorons in Tears of the Kingdom.

The final trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has arrived, and it's full of new information about the upcoming Switch game. We got a better look at its open world, saw many new characters, and got another peek at all kinds of vehicles that players can make. In fact, the trailer was so crowded with new information -- and Tears of the Kingdom's mechanics and story are still so shrouded in mystery -- that there are some things that you might have missed, leaving a ton to speculate on.
When watching it again, we found a ton of curious details that had us wondering about unannounced features. We've rounded up five details in particular that could have some major implications for the gameplay and story of Tears of the Kingdom.
Link has companions

One of the most surprising things about this new trailer is that it seems to confirm a companion system, or at least NPCs that are way more active than they ever were in Breath of the Wild. During a montage around the 1:38 mark, we see Link riding a horse through an active battle between humans and Ganondorf's forces. Later on, after the three-minute mark, we see new Rito, Human, Zora, Goron, and Garudo working with Link. The Zora soldier specifically helps Link fight an enemy in a two-on-one encounter.
Companions aren't a new feature to open-world games; titles like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim have it. Still, these more active NPCs and an entire potential companion mechanic highlight just how deeply core gameplay systems have been modified for Tears of the Kingdom.

The 7 most powerful characters in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, ranked

Luigi and Mario looking at the camera with unamused expressions in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie fulfilled many fans' dreams of seeing their favorite video game characters fight it out on the big screen. With heavy hitters like Donkey Kong and Bowser clashing against Mario and Peach, the film gifted viewers with an animated brawl worthy of Super Smash Bros. And so, people can now read the ranked list of the most powerful characters in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
7. Toad

Though Toad may be the weakest member of the main cast, he never had much time to show off his skills as a fighter in this film. Fortunately for him, he knows his way around the Mushroom Kingdom and can surely fend for himself out in the wilderness since Mario does meet him wandering the mushroom fields. And despite his small size, Toad never backs down from a fight, choosing to defend Peach and his friends at any opportunity.
6. Luigi

5 game adaptations that could build a Super Mario Bros. Cinematic Universe

best-single-player-nintendo-switch-games

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is in theaters now and it’s getting a mixed reception. While some aren’t impressed by its thin story and Minions-like humor, Mario fans generally seem happy with what’s at least a visually faithful take on the iconic gaming series. There’s a good chance it’ll be a financial success even with middling reviews, so you can bet that Nintendo and Illumination are already cooking up sequel plans.

The next installment might just come in the form of Super Mario Bros. 2, but there’s real potential here for a new MCU: the Mario Cinematic Universe. With decades' worth of mainline games, spinoffs, and characters, there’s no shortage of material that could be used to build out Mario’s silver screen world. If Nintendo is looking to expand its cinematic ambitions, these five games could serve as inspiration for what Illumination’s next adaptation looks like.
