For fans of the series old or new, there’s certainly plenty of anticipation for Mario Golf: Super Rush on Nintendo Switch. It appeared in the first full Nintendo Direct we’d seen for quite some time, and the hope is that it’ll at the very least live up to the very decent Mario Golf: World Tour and earlier exemplary efforts from the plumber on the fairway.
The game will feature local and online multiplayer, and many eyes will be on Story Mode; we also have a decent roster shaping up with Nintendo confirming that there’ll be at least 16 characters to choose from (plus Miis), including debuts from Pauline, King Bob-omb, and the character we’ve all been clamoring for, Chargin’ Chuck.
With each character having different strengths and weaknesses and a Special Shot and Special Dash — not to mention their own bespoke golfing get-up — we’ll all have our favourites. The right choice will be Bowser, of course, but it’s nice to have a varied selection of golfers to make up a four-ball.
So, here’s a full list of the confirmed roster for Mario Golf: Super Rush (so far — you never know what secrets might be unlocked through playing the game and there’s some conspicuous space left on the character selection screen!). We’ll update it with any more reveals right up to release on 25th June.
