    Update history

    Ver. 4.0.0 (Released 24 November 2021)

    • Added Playable Character, “Wiggler”
      • Wiggler has been added as a playable character to choose from in Matches. He is a power-type character that uses his long body to send the ball farther.
      • When he uses a Special Shot or is attacked, he will become enraged and power up for a certain amount of time:
        • Ball flight distance increases by 10%.
        • In "Speed Golf", in addition to ball flight distance, running speed and Special Dash speed will also be enhanced by 25%. In addition, the Special Dash will change from a straight move to a special move that hits the ground and sends out a shockwave.
      • His Special Shot has the effect of blowing away balls from its point of landing, as well as the surrounding area, due to the impact of the berries that are launched with it.
    • Added Playable Character, “Shy Guy”
      • Shy Guy has been added as a playable character to choose from in Matches. He is a well-balanced, all-around character that is easy to use in any situation.
      • His Special Dash uses the help of the Fly Guys to keep him flying until his gauge runs out, or a button is pressed. Use it at the right time to get an advantage over your opponents.
      • His Special Shot has the effect of blowing away balls around its point of impact.
    • Added Golf Course, “Shelltop Sanctuary”
      • Added the full course “Shelltop Sanctuary”, made entirely of short holes.
      • Shelltop Sanctuary, where Cheep Cheeps fly to and fro, is a short course with all of its 18 holes being Par 3.
      • Two difficulty levels can be selected: “Amateur”, and “Pro”. Switching between them will greatly change the location of the green.
    • Added Golf Course, “All-Star Summit”
      • Added the full course “All-Star Summit”, which uses illustrations of Mario and others as a motif.
      • This course features familiar characters, and the design of the green and the bunkers is different from other courses, so you can enjoy employing a different kind of strategy.
      • The brick blocks strewn throughout the course can be broken by hitting them with a shot or special dash. Break them to acquire coins that refill your Energy.
      • Get on top of the clouds found on the course to travel to opposite banks, or acquire Star Coins to fully charge your Energy.
    • Added New Mode, “Target Golf”
      • A new mode that allows you to play with just tee shots, without needing to know the detailed rules of golf.
      • Players take turns shooting a total of five balls at a circular target, competing for the highest score based on points awarded according to the position they hit. The closer the ball is to the center of the target, the higher the score will be. If another player scores in an area first, however, the area will not be scored until the board resets. During play, ball types can change, and high-scoring targets appear that offer a chance for reversal.
      • Can be played with Motion Controls.
      • In the Play Golf menu, up to four players can play against each other with a single Joy-Con on a single Nintendo Switch console. You can also play with up to four players in Local Play and Online Play.
      • Target Golf has also been added to the Solo Challenge menu. The challenge is to see how many points you can score before you miss three times, while the ball type and wind direction changes.
    • Added New Mode, “One-On, One-Putt”
      • The mode One-On, One-Putt has been added to Solo Challenge. In this mode, you must hit the green on the first swing and then putt into the cup on the second swing. The first shot must be on the green and the second shot must be in the cup.
      • You can play this mode on New Donk City and Shelltop Sanctuary, which consist of short courses only, in Amateur and Pro configurations, respectively. In Shelltop Sanctuary, there is a Special difficulty level that requires you to use a special club for each hole.
    • Game Balance Adjustments
      • Changed the amount of Energy Gauge recovered when obtaining coins from 1% to 4%.
      • Adjusted the number of coins that drop around you when you are attacked.
      • When attacking another player with Special Dash, the coins dropped by the opponent will now be automatically collected.
      • Stamina consumption when dashing with the B Button has been reduced.
      • When Stamina has completely depleted and the B Button is being held down, after a fixed amount of time, Stamina will recover and the player can start dashing again, even if the B Button is continuously held down.
      • CPUs now aim more to collect the Coins and Hearts on the course than before.
      • CPUs will now aim Special Shots and Special Dashes at other players more than before.

      • Medals are now displayed on the Main Menu, which allow you to check your completion of challenges and achievements.

        • During the Special Dash, you can also move across the surface of the water, but your Stamina consumption will increase.
        • As long as Stamina remains, you can enter your shell, and continue Special Dashing
        • Pressing the L Button during a Special Dash will let you interrupt your Special Dash at any time.
        • If your Special Dash hits other players, you will accelerate even more.
      • This Special Shot has a new ability to bounce on the ground, and the number of times it bounces depends on the distance. While bouncing, it has the ability to blow other balls away.

    • Adjustments to Ranked Matches
      • Starting with the October 2021 Ranked Match, the rules for "Standard Golf" have been changed from "Special Shots On" to "Special Shots Off".

    • Addition of Ranked Match

      • The goal is to improve your global ranking from "C-" to "S+" based on the number of monthly match points you accumulate from the results of your matches.
      • In Ranked Matches, you will be automatically matched with opponents as close as possible in distance and rank.
      • If there are only a few opponents available, you will be matched up even if there is some rank difference, but there is a handicap where higher ranked players will be behind you on the tee. If you can beat a higher ranked player, a bonus will be added to your monthly match points.
      • Your monthly match points, rank, and global ranking will be reset every month, but you will still be able to review your past records.

      • In online play, even if a network error occurs in another player’s room, the game will now continue after the player is replaced with a COM player. The room will be disbanded if the hosting console has a network error, because the hosting console manages the game settings.
        • In Ranked Matches, if the hosting console has a communication error, it will be replaced by the COM and the game will continue.
      • A warning and countdown will be displayed 30 seconds before the end of the game.
