Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
With April having just started up, Mario Golf: Super Rush is now offering new Yoshi colors as a Ranked Match reward.
The unlock process is the same this month as it’s always been. Throughout April, players just need to hit the rank of A- or above in the online Ranked Match mode, which can be done by accumulating points. Points can be earned by playing these particular online matches, doing well in them, and taking down higher ranked opponents. After unlocking the colors, you’ll see the image / message above. Then you should head over to the character screen in Mario Golf: Super Rush, hover over Yoshi, and pressing the “L” button to swap variations.

Mario Kart 8 has seen the longest tale of any entry in the series, with support for the game continuing eight years after the initial release on Wii U (and five years after Switch) through the recently announced Booster Course Pass. Producer Kosuke Yabuki recently spoke to Japanese outlet Nikkei about the game, admitting the team didn’t anticipate the incredible sales of Deluxe for Switch. He believes the breadth of its appeal was likely a big contributing factor, as well as the fact that the Joy-Con make every Switch a potential 2-player console.
We’ve prepared a translation of Yabuki’s full comments below.
