How to do a special shot in Mario Golf: Super Rush

Mario Golf: Super Rush is nothing like a run-of-the-mill golfing simulator.

This Mario spin-off allows players to dash through the courses and send their golf balls flying in a variety of ways. The ball can be curved, given topspin, hit with some backspin, and more.

Mario Golf: Super Rush has a decent roster of playable characters and each one has their own special shot to pull off. These unique abilities help players sink the ball with little worry.

Performing special shots in Mario Golf: Super Rush

In Mario Golf: Super Rush, performing a special shot starts with the single click of a button. The L button is used to start a special shot when players are ready to take a hack at their ball.

There is a meter that indicates just how close players are to pulling off a special shot as well. This meter can be found underneath the potrait of the player character in Mario Golf: Super Rush.

Once it is full, a special shot can be performed. Press L and the character will go into a drastically different stance. The swing is done with the controller, just like a normal one, but will have a special twist to it.
