The courses in Mario Golf: Super Rush are very different from what one might find at a real golf course. Not only are these courses all set in very diverse environments, they are also filled to the brim with hazards, obstacles, and other challenges that players will have to face. In order to get around these, players can adjust their swing so that the ball curves to one side or flies higher or lower, but this technique can be a bit difficult to pull off. For players wanting to learn how to do this, here's everything they'll need to know about curving balls in the new Mario Golf game.
It should be said that curving a ball in Mario Golf: Super Rush is different from applying a top spin or a back spin, as this will instead affect how far the ball goes. The curve is meant to adjust the height and angle of the shot instead. This gives players much more control over the ball and will ultimately improve their game.
In order to curve the ball, players start just like any normal shot in Mario Golf: Super Rush after selecting accuracy. At this point, simply push the left stick to either the left or the right while the ball is charging, and release the shot when the desired amount of power has been built up. It's important to keep in mind that the curve applied will be stronger depending on how much power the player builds up, so remember to exhibit restraint when necessary.
As previously mentioned, curving the ball can also affect the height of the ball. If players are trying to hit the ball over a rock, they might push the stick up and to one side. By contrast, if they're trying to hit the ball low so that it flies under an obstacle, pushing down and to one side will accomplish this. Players should be sure to make use of these techniques in order to navigate some of Mario Golf: Super Rush's trickier courses, as there are plenty of things to get in the way on courses like Ridgerock Lake.
It may take some time to master applying curve to the player's shots, and curving the ball is easier with a higher control stat, but it will ultimately help players get better at Mario Golf: Super Rush. Obstacles and hazards are the name of the game on these courses, so knowing how to curve the ball around, over, and under them is vital to good performance.
