What’s New In The Mario Golf: Super Rush 2.0.0 Update

Mario Golf: Super Rush, the latest game in the Mario sports series, was released in late June worldwide, and Nintendo didn’t waste any time updating the game with new content. The 2.0.0 update is now live, introducing not only a new character, course, and play mode, but also some tweaks that are expected to improve the experience considerably.

Here’s everything new included in the Mario Golf: Super Rush 2.0.0 update.

What’s New in the Mario Golf: Super Rush 2.0.0. Update?

New Character – Toadette

Toadette joins the Mario Golf: Super Rush character roster with this new update. The new character, which can be used in all play modes, comes with the highest control of the entire roster, but also the lower power, so she can be extremely tricky to use properly in certain play modes where you need to launch your ball as far as possible quite often.

New Course – New Donk City

The New Donk City course is the brand new course introduced by the 2.0.0 update. This course, based on the location with the same name seen in Super Mario Odyssey, is a short course with 18 holes all rated Par 3. The course also features two difficulty levels, Amateur, and Pro, which completely change tees and greens of all 18 holes.

New Play Mode – Ranked Match

The Mario Golf: Super Rush online multiplayer experience has been expanded by the 2.0.0 update with the introduction of Ranked Match. The main goal of this mode is to improve one’s global ranking by obtaining points each month. Ranked Matches will pit you against opponents of similar skill level, with four different categories to choose from: “Button Controls: Standard Golf”, “Button Controls: Speed Golf”, “Motion Controls: Standard Golf”, and “Motion Controls: Speed Golf. Achieving a rank of A- or higher each month will allow you to use a character with a special appearance as a bonus. Total points will be reset each month.
