Yesterday a new one 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 will be added that no one expected. In addition to Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Yoshi and the other characters already revealed, it looks like players can take to the green with King Bob-omb, or at least that’s what the official Nintendo website suggests.
According to the Nintendo website’s entry for the game, “King Bob-omb may hit the track with bombs.” This doesn’t quite confirm that the character will be a playable character, but it is what it suggests. With King Bob-omb in the game, this will be his playable debut for the sub-series and one of the few times he’s been playable at all.
For those of you who don’t know, King Bob-omb – aka the Big Bob-omb – debuted again Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64 as the game’s first boss fight. He has since come out as a boss fight in others Mario games, both mainline and spin-offs, but he’s never been a playable character in anything other than Mario Kart tour
At the time of publication, King Bob-omb’s listing has been removed from the site and Nintendo has not commented on the apparent leak. If this changes, we will definitely update the story accordingly. That said, don’t expect it to change. If Nintendo wanted to say anything, it would have done it when it scrubbed the information.
Mario Golf: Super Rush will be released worldwide on June 25, priced at $ 60, and via Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. Pre-orders are now live at Best Buy. You can read more about the game below, courtesy of an official pitch from the exclusive:
“Hit the green with up to four players locally or online and golf with familiar Mushroom Kingdom characters. Modes range from Standard Golf to the energetic Speed Golf and an RPG-style golf adventure in story mode. Intuitive gesture or button controls, a shot meter that adapts to the curve of the course, and other new features make it easy for new players and seasoned professionals alike to drive and put with power. “
