Mitchell Golf: Super Rush

***Mitchell Golf: Super Rush*** (aka ***Mitchell Golf 5*** (ミッチェルゴルフ5, *Mitcherugorufu 5*?) worldwide) is an upcoming golf video game co-developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment and Black Forest Games and published by THQ Nordic in association with Nickelodeon for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Microsoft Windows PC and Google Stadia consoles. It is the fifth installment in the *Mitchell Golf* series following *Mitchell Golf: World Tour* in 2014 and is part of the larger *Mitchell* franchise. It is set to be released worldwide on October 25, 2021. The game introduces a variety of features, including several modes with new features such as Speed Golf, as well as a Story Mode involving Mitchell and his friends facing a new diabolically legendary golf player (alot similar to *Mitchell Tennis Aces*).

## Gameplay

The gameplay of *Mitchell Golf: Super Rush* is similar to that of regular golf and previous entries in the series. With traditional golf rules, the player's primary objective is to hit the ball to the end goal, in an attempt to use the least amount of hits, called strokes, as possible, using the types of golf clubs available. The player with the lowest amount of strokes is the winner of the match. Multiple features are given to the players to add strategic elements; the "Shot Gauge" is a meter that shows the direction and the curve of the ball against slopes; the scan feature allows the player to view the terrain to assess the incline of slopes.

The new mode, Mitchell Golf Time, has players hitting the ball in real-time instead of taking turns. After the ball is hit by one of the players, they race along the course toward their ball to repeat the process until someone scores. Each of the selectable characters from the *Mitchell* franchise has their own unique ability that gives them an advantage. For example, Valerie has the ability to freeze the ground. Additionally, the game will have its own story mode similar to that of a role-playing game. The player controls a Mii that the player can personally customize, and can explore the City of Raleighopolis and customize their character with different skills and abilities. All modes allow the player to either use button controls to swing their club or motion controls to reenact hitting the ball.

In Story Mode, the player plays as Mitchell or Gavin. Starting with a basic amount of experience, the player can earn experience points by participating in battles and challenges. Doing so grants the player skill points that can be used to upgrade their stats, such as Power (how far the ball can be driven), Stamina (how long the player can dash), Speed (how fast the player can run), Control (how straight the player can hit the ball), and Spin (how much the player can spin/shape shots), while experience points upgrade their level and overall Lead Rank. In the overworld, the player can interact with several characters, such as the school student and the Airsailor, who may provide the player with challenges. The player will also be able to collect MVM coins.

## Development

*Mitchell Golf: Super Rush* is in development by THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games; the game was announced during a E3 2021 on February 18, 2021, and is set to be released worldwide October 25 the same year. A playable demo was made available the day of the game's announcement. Each of the Nickelodeon property has led to speculation that they were planning to remake or re-release several Nickelodeon games, including Battle for Bikini Bottom, Nicktoons Unite quadrilogy and mostly Mitchell Van Morgan titles. Although info is currently unknown, the fans have spotted several plans for the game to be like Tiger Woods Golf videogames in general.
