Super Mario: Super Rushhas been a long time coming for fans of the series. That last game wasMario Golf: World Tourin 2014 for the 3DS so it was indeed a long wait. The reviews have been mixed on the new game but they haven’t been so much negative as they have been satisfied.

However one feels aboutSuper Mario: Super Rush, there is no denying the game is in need of some patches to make it a better experience. From extra modes and characters to more buttons, some fixes could make the game a better experience for all that play it.
8Skip Other Player Turns
One of the best features in the PlayStation counterpart to this series,Everybody’s Golf, is being able to speed through turns. This can be applied to playing a round of golf alone or with opponents. The skip option is always there.

While this game allows players to fast-forward turns on standard golf matches, there is no skip button. Why doesSuper Mario: Super Rushmake one wait for opponents to play their turns in Speed Golf if the actual player already won?
7Skip Golf Adventure Dialogue
There is another thingNintendoshould add a skip button to — Golf Adventure’s story. It lacks charisma or any real pull to get players motivated in following along with their Mii golfer’s rise to stardom. It didn’t have to be a dramatic story to be interesting — it just needed to be entertaining and/or funny which it fails at. Adding a skip button would be ideal but fast-forward button would suffice.
6Add Difficulties
Super Mario: Super Rushis not too terribly hard when facing off against the AI. The game seems to have a rubber-banding problem like inMario Kartwhen it comes to the AI as it can get ahead then fall behind seemingly purposely if the player is doing worse.
Having an AI adjust the difficulty on the fly works for some games but if that’s indeed what is happening here, it isn’t a perfect execution of this mechanic. It might be better to add in some actual difficulty options in the menu.
5More Characters
The current roster in this game is pretty good. Each character has its own unique powers with some being weaker than others but all of them feeling fun to play at the very least. Mayor Pauline fromSuper Mario Odysseyis a standout as being a Mario character that was sidelined for so long before making a grand comeback in that game.
Playing as random cannon fodder character like Boo has never felt that appealing inany of these Mario sports spinoff games though. It would be cool to see this franchise, or any other sports spinoff, get theMario Kart 8treatment — just imagine watching Link or Isabelle play golf!
4Outfits For Main Characters
If adding in new characters is too hard there is another solution to help make the Mario characters more unique. Players candress up their Miis in the story modebut they can not adjust clothes for the main characters. For Boo, this makes sense since it is a ghost that wears nothing, but where are the alternate costumes for Mario, Peach, Bowser and the others though? Even a color swap would be a solid potential option to spice things up.
3Add Early Fast Travel
Getting around the campaign in Golf Adventure can be tiring. There is no run button to get around despite there being a prominent new dash featured in Speed golf. There isn’t even a fast-travel system in the early hours of this mode.

For a game released in 2021, this is the most shocking absent feature of all. It’s not like these little hub maps are as huge as the plains ofBreath of the Wildbut getting around quicker in some way would be helpful for players.
2Rewind In Practice
When it comes to making that perfect shot in a golf game, there are a lot of factors to consider. How good are the clubs? What’s the wind like? How well did the player hit the meter?
Because there are a lot of variables, it would be nice if there was a way to rewind time in practice mode. Why didn’t that shot make it into the hole?What exactly was misaligned? Being able to do this would make acingSuper Mario: Super Rusha cinch for players that want to learn the game inside and out.
1Play Holes Solo
If Nintendo thinks a rewind feature would be too much, there is another option. Currently, players can only play three holes of golf at a minimum. ToSuper Mario: Super Rush’scredit it at least allows players to choose what hole they start at, but it would be great if this could be reduced to one so that playerscould play each hole on repeatto master the game level by level.
