** Another noticeable change in ''Super Rush'' is that each character has a more distinct set of clubs in their bag, such as Waluigi or Bowser Jr. favoring more fairway woods and hybrids than irons, just as real life players will have their own distinct sets of clubs. The game also keeps flagsticks in the hole when someone is putting on the green, which was a rule change that golf's primary governing bodies allowed a few years prior to the game's release.

* LethalLavaLand: Any of the Bowser courses, including Bowser Badlands from ''Toadstool Tour'', Bowser's Castle from ''World Tour'', and Bowser Highlands from ''Super Rush''. Landing the ball in lava counts as out of bounds, giving the player a penalty and forcing them to completely redo their shot.



* OriginalGeneration: The N64, GBC, and GBA versions have this type of characters to serve as opponents, helpful advisors, playable Story Mode characters, and to provide a larger selection of available golfers in the N64 version. Some of the N64 golfers actually went on to become minor {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}s which made their absence in ''Toadstool Tour'' a little sad for some N64 Mario Golf veterans.

At times in Super Rush, when Luigi uses the Ice Flower when he has a star mode or extra speed boost, his costume changes to that seen in the New Super Mario Bros. series instead of a color palette version of the golf outfit in Super Rush.

Added DiffLines:

* InstantCostumeChange: In ''Super Rush'' when either using a speed boost or hitting a star swing, Luigi (who is in golfing clothing) would use an Ice Flower and transform to Ice Luigi, changing his outfit to Luigi's clothing as Ice Luigi.

Camelot also developed the golf portion of ''VideoGame/MarioSportsSuperstars''.

** [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo Connecting the GBC or GBA versions of Mario Golf to the N64 version for the former and the GBA version for the latter]] also adds four human characters to the N64 version, and the two human characters (male and female) to the GBA version: the characters that you go through the respective games' Story Mode with. As there is no current way of replacing the Transfer Pack method, you cannot unlock those characters in the VC version of the N64 game (unless you use a hacked save). Partially justified in that these characters stats depended on how you had leveled them up in the GBC versions. The GCN version lets you add up to four versions of both the male and female character though, they will be differentiated through {{Palette Swap}}s.
