Nintendo revealed in the recent September 2021 Nintendo Direct that a second Mario Golf: Super Rush content update for was launching later that day, bringing two new characters and two new courses to the game. Mario Golf: Super Rush was initially released in June and has since received a fairly steady supply of new content. The highlights of the update are the new golfers and levels, but a new settings change will also make playing against NPCs more interesting.
Mario Golf: Super Rush was generally well received, but many found it short on content. The new Adventure Mode, a story campaign in which players golf as their Mii, was a noticeably quick excursion through the game's six base courses, and the other three game modes didn't offer a significant amount of replayability. A first content update at the beginning of August started to address these issues, adding Toadette and a New Donk City course to Super Rush, alongside a ranked mode for online play.
Released shortly after its announcement on September 23, this second update adds yet more content like the last one's, plus additional difficulty options for NPC opponents in single-player. Now, when selecting a Mario Golf: Super Rush CPU opponent, players can choose to set them as Amateur, Pro, or Champ, which should help make matches against the computer a bit more challenging.

The second content update for Mario Golf: Super Rush also adds Ninji and Koopa Troopa as playable golfers. Both have been longtime Mario enemies, and Koopa Troopa has been playable in many multiplayer titles, like Mario Kart and Mario Party. Both new golfers share a brand-new Special Shot ability that bounces multiple times along its path, blasting opponents' balls out of its way with each bounce. Ninji also joins Yoshi as the fastest character in the game.
The two new courses added to Mario Golf: Super Rush are Blustery Basin and Spiky Palms. Blustery Basin introduces the game's first snow-and-ice course, with Ty-foos and Cooligans scattered around as obstacles, in addition to many frozen ponds that players can bounce their shots off of. There is also a blizzard that occasionally engulfs Blustery Basin, bringing high wind speeds and affecting the ball as it rolls. Spiky Palms joins Balmy Dunes as another desert course but provides more obstacles. In addition to the Pokeys also found on Balmy Dunes, Spiky Palms adds Spikes that roll their spiked balls across the fairway, tornadoes to launch golf balls upward, and large rivers throughout the course. Mario Golf: Super Rush may have been a bit light on content when it released, but the regular updates have so far delivered.
