As promised, Nintendo has now released its first major content update for Mario Golf: Super Rush.

Here are the full patch notes, courtesy of Nintendo’s support page:

Worm. 2.0.0 (Released Aug 5, 2021)

• Added ranked match
  • We have added “Ranked Match” as an online play option.
  • The goal is to improve your overall ranking from “C-” to “S +” based on the number of monthly match points you accumulate from your match results.
  • In ranked matches, you will automatically be matched against opponents as close as possible in distance and rank.
  • If there are only a few opponents available, you will be tied even if there is a difference in rank, but there is a handicap where the higher ranked players will be behind you on the tee. If you can beat a higher ranked player, a bonus will be added to your monthly match points.
  • Your monthly match points, ranking, and world ranking will reset every month, but you will still be able to view your old records.
  • The game is divided into four categories: “Button Controls: Golf Standard”, “Button Controls: Golf Speed”, “Motion Controls: Golf Standard” and “Motion Controls: Golf Speed”.
  • Achieve a rank of “A-” or higher each month, you will be able to use a character with a special appearance as a bonus.
  • Reach a rank of “A-” or higher in any of the categories in August 2021, and you will be able to use “Red Yoshi”, “Blue Yoshi” and “Yellow Yoshi” as bonuses, with immediate effect.
• Addition of “Toadette” as a playable character
  • Toadette has been added as a playable character that can be used in matches.
  • While she has the highest control rating of any character, she also has the lowest potency. It is recommended for those who want to hit the ball exactly where they want it to go, one stroke at a time.
• New Donk City golf course added
  • “New Donk City” from “Super Mario Odyssey” has been added as a playable golf course.
  • This is a short 18-hole course, all rated Par 3, but it offers the possibility of unique strategies such as bouncing the ball off the walls of buildings.
  • There are two difficulty levels to choose from, “Amateur” and “Pro”, which makes the tees and greens of the 18 holes completely different.
• Adjusted motion controls
  • It is now easier to generate power when swinging with a full swing in mind.
  • Approach shots aimed at cup position are now less likely to be wide.
  • The angle of the club is now reflected on the screen as you position yourself to hit the ball.
• Additions to the “How to play” section
  • Added explanation of how to play and tips for motion controls in “Golf Guide”.
• General changes
  • “Return to character selection” and “Return to course selection” have been added to the exit options of the Pause menu.
  • The character points required to get the next set of clubs are now displayed in the character selection.
  • The course selection now shows the number of holes you must play before you can play the next course.
  • The number of holes played before the next course can be played is now displayed in Course selection.
    • However, during online play, you may not be able to select it until you return to the main menu, even if you meet the requirements.
  • The default number of players (including COM) has been changed to two when playing with the “Stroke Play” and “Take Turns” rules in the Standard Golf menu of “Play Golf”.
  • Adjusted the search procedure for “Find a Room” in the “Play Golf” online room menu.
  • In online play, even if a network error occurs in another player’s room, the game will now continue after the player has been replaced with a COM player. The room will be dissolved if the hosting console has a network error because the hosting console manages the game settings.
    • In ranked matches, if the hosting console has a communication error, it will be replaced by the COM and the game will continue.
  • A warning and countdown will be displayed 30 seconds before the end of the game.
  • Special shots now pierce tree foliage.
  • When playing two-player split-screen mode on the same Nintendo Switch console, the screen of the player who scores first will no longer follow the other player.
  • Movement controls have been changed so that the character does not automatically move when the pause menu is opened during online play.
  • Adjusted the difficulty level of the objective to complete XC Golf at Ridgerock Lake.
  • Changes have been made to game balance and other issues to improve the gaming experience.
