Yesterday, a new Mario Golf game for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite – Mario Golf: Super Rush – was revealed and now a possible new leak has revealed that a character has been added that no one expected. In addition to Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Yoshi, and the other characters already unveiled, it looks like players along with King Bob-omb will be able to take the green, or at least that’s what the official Nintendo website suggests.
According to the Nintendo website’s list for the game, ‘King Bob-omb could bomb the track.’ This does not confirm that the character will be a playable character, but that is what it suggests. If King Bob-omb is in the game, it will be his playable debut for the sub-series, and one of the few times he has been playable at all.
For those who do not know: King Bob-omb – sometimes called the Big Bob-omb – debuts again in Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64 as the game’s first boss fight. Since then he has appeared as a boss fight in other Mario games, both the mainline and the elimination, but he has never been a playable character in anything other than Mario Kart Tour.
At the time of publication, the King Bob-omb listing was removed from the site and Nintendo did not comment on the apparent leak. If that changes, we’ll update the story accordingly. That said, do not expect this to change. If Nintendo wanted to make a comment, it would have scrubbed the information.
Mario Golf: Super Rush will be released worldwide on June 25, at $ 60 and via Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. Pre-orders are now available at Best Buy. Below you can read more about the game, thanks to an official counter of the exclusive:
“Draw the green with up to four players locally or online and golf with famous Mushroom Kingdom characters. Modes range from standard golf to energetic Speed Golf and an RPG-like golf adventure in story mode. Intuitive movement or buttons, a lap meter which adapts to the curve of the track, and other new features make it easy for both players and experienced pros to drive and pit with power. ‘
