How the controls work in Mario Golf: Super Rush

Mario Golf: Super Rush lets players take control of the button and motion controls of the Nintendo Switch.

The game allows players to experience true-to-form golf or make it a little cartoony with some of its frantic game modes. Those game modes can't be conquered without mastering the controls, though.

Mario Golf: Super Rush is innovative with the use of motion controls. Players can hold it like a golf club and swing away. They can also relax on their couch and have a calmer approach with the buttons.
