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.

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.
