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.

Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment finally gave us our first glimpse at the animated Mario movie, which is officially titled The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The trailer reveal came during New York Comic Con and got a special Nintendo Direct of its own.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie Nintendo Direct kicks off with an introduction from Shigeru Miyamoto, Chris Meledandri, Chris Pratt, and Jack Black, who confirmed that the animation will be complete next week, although there are still other things to do, and hyped up the trailer. The trailer itself begins with Bowser attacking a city of Penguins before cutting to Mario finding himself in the Mushroom Kingdom and going on an adventure with Toad. We even see a little bit of Luigi at the end.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Official Teaser Trailer
Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment -- the Universal Pictures animation studio known for creating Despicable Me, Sing, and The Secret Life of Pets -- first announced a movie based on the iconic Super Mario Bros. video game series in 2018. While series creator Shigeru Miyamoto was a producer on the film from the start and Nintendo acquired a film studio during this movie's production, the announcement that really turned heads was the September 2021 Nintendo Direct, where its shocking all-star cast was revealed.
During its segment in that Direct, we learned that Chris Pratt is Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy is Princess Peach, Charlie Day is Luigi, Keegan-Michael Key is Toad, Seth Rogan is Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen is Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson is Kamek, Sebastian Maniscalco is Foreman Spike, and Jack Black is Bowser. They all felt like odd choices at the time of the announcement, and from this trailer, we learned what Kamek, Bowser, Mario, Toad, and Luigi will all sound like.
While The Super Mario Bros. Movie was originally going to come out this year, you can now expect the animated feature to hit theaters on April 7, 2023 in the United States and April 28, 2023 in Japan.

It's been a bit since we've had a brand-new 2D Mario title, but one fan has taken it upon himself to provide that to those pining for a new entry in the classic platformer franchise. After seven years of hard work, Twitter user Metroid Mike 64 has finished his unofficial Super Mario Bros. 5 using Super Mario Maker 2 on Switch -- and you can play through the entire thing right now.

Metroid Mike 64 shared the news with his followers on Sunday, pointing out that he's been working on the project since 2015 with the goal of creating "a classic Mario game that plays as if Nintendo created it themselves." This, he points out, means a complete lack of the kinds of masochistic and troll levels that are commonly seen in Mario Maker 2, instead providing players with something focused on nostalgia and old-school charm.
