Character Points are a currency in Mario Golf: Super Rush that players can use to unlock new club sets. This makes Character Points quite important, as club sets are directly connected to a character's overall power, and fans will need to obtain them in fairly large quantities. For those players that may be curious about exactly how to go about earning Character Points in Mario Golf: Super Rush, full details can be found in this guide.
To start, it is important to mention that Character Points are locked to the Mario Golf: Super Rush character that is used to earn them. As an example, if a player were to obtain some number of Character Points with Luigi, those points could only be used to unlock Luigi's club sets. This configuration incentivizes fans to spend time with each of the cast members, though it may be wise to prioritize just a few at the beginning.
With that established, it is now possible to discuss how to earn Character Points, and indeed the method is quite straightforward. Simply, fans will obtain Character Points for every hole that they play, regardless of the number of opponents, the game mode, or the course in Mario Golf: Super Rush that they select. Here is a detailed breakdown of how Character Points are awarded, and players are sure to notice that performance does play a role:
- Play a Hole: 10 Points
- Birdie: 10 Points
- Eagle: 20 Points
- Albatross: 50 Points
- Hole-in-One: 100 Points
- Pickup a Coin (Speed Golf): 3 Points
It is thus recommended that fans that are trying to quickly unlock club sets in Mario Golf: Super Rush play Stroke Play on the Rookie Course by themselves. Indeed, this setup minimizes the time that it takes to complete holes, and players are more likely to perform well on the holes that they encounter. Even still, unlocking club sets with this method can take quite a lot of time, due to the sheer number of Character Points that are required, and some fans may prefer to pursue a slightly cheesier alternative.
More specifically, fans can earn Character Points very fast by setting up a match with four human-controlled players on a single controller. When that is done, players should continually restart the match every time that they are given the opportunity to take their first shot. Doing this will award the base 10 Character Points to each of the four characters that are involved in the match every reset, allowing Mario Golf: Super Rush fans to make quick progress with multiple golfers simultaneously.
