How to Use Yoshi

Formidable at Speed Golf

How to Use Yoshi Mario Golf.jpg

Before Ninji was added to the game, Yoshi was the fastest character in Mario Golf: Super Rush. Now the two characters are tied with the highest speed stat in the game, but this still makes Yoshi a formidable player in Speed Golf. Along with his max Speed, Yoshi's Special Dash is great for disrupting opponents during course traversal.

Easy to Use Special Dash

Yoshi's Special Dash is very easy to use, as you just run over opponents in the path of your giant egg. The egg also launches directly ahead of you when the dash finishes, which allows you to knock down opponents you may not have initially reached.

Additionally, Yoshi has great control when he floats after he gets off the egg, allowing you to change direction easily, making it a great Special Dash for the Battle Golf stadium.

Very Effective Special Shot

Yoshi's Special Shot is also very effective as a disruption tool against opponents. On impact, the ball turns opponents' balls in the vicinity into eggs, which adds a significant amount of curve to their ball roll. This is a great disruption tool for the green, as opponents are guaranteed to waste one stroke if they attempt to putt an egg.

How to Unlock Yoshi Star Club Sets

In order to unlock Yoshi's ★ Star and ★★ Super Star Club Sets, you need to earn character points playing as Yoshi 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.

Club Set Character Points Required
Standard Available at the Start
★ Star 1000 Character Points
★★ Super Star 3000 Character Points

How to Earn Character Points

Can You Play as Pink Yoshi?

Mario Golf Is Pink Yoshi Playable

No, Pink Yoshi is not currently playable or unlockable in Mario Golf: Super Rush. Early on in the Golf Adventure mode, you go up against a Pink Yoshi during the rookie qualifying round. So far this is the only instance of them being an opponent during the game.

Pink Yoshi shares the same score pose animations as Yoshi. Pink Yoshi also has the same Egg-Roll Dash as regular Yoshi, but their egg has pink spots, instead of green.

Given that there are already a model and animations for Pink Yoshi, it makes it more likely that they'll be added in as a playable character in future free updates.

really found this helpful! great tips. also, while playing as Yoshi, you should definitely try to steer. Yoshi can only steer slightly while flutter jumping. found the flutter jump really helpful while above bunkers. try speed golf - he rules!
