How to Use Mario

High Speed and Power

With a Speed of 9, Mario is one of the fastest golfers in the game. This, along with his relatively high Power stat, makes him particularly formidable at Speed Golf.

Very Useful Special Shot

Mario's Special Shot has many uses, as it blasts away balls on impact, as well as gives Mario a lengthy speed boost and Super Star invincibility that knocks off other players that Mario simply touches.

This is Mario's premier mechanic that can be utilized in both Speed Golf and Battle Golf. Particularly, Mario should use this when he tees off later than his opponents in Speed Golf (if the time advantage setting is enabled).

Tricky to Use Special Dash

On the other hand, Mario's Special Dash is a bit tricky to use. You have to get the precise timing right in order to knock other players off. The opponent has to be a bit further away for Mario to slide into them and knock them off. If directly in front of Mario, he might just jump over them.

Mario's leap after the initial tumble also knocks off players within Mario's vicinity, but again, you have to precisely time it in order for Mario to land beside his opponent after the initial tumble.

How to Unlock Mario Star Club Sets

In order to unlock Mario's ★ Star and ★★ Super Star Club Sets, you need to earn character points playing as Mario in Standard Golf, Speed Golf, or Battle Golf! The table below depicts how much character points you need to earn in order to unlock each Star Club Set.
