Welcome to Super Battle Golf! This chaotic 1-8 player golf game is all about swinging, shooting, sabotaging, and finishing first by any means necessary. This guide will get you from confused newbie to confident player.

8 Essential Beginner Tips
Dive Often
Press Ctrl to dive. Use it offensively to grab items faster, or defensively to dodge rockets, carts, and orbital lasers. This move will save your life constantly.
Manage Your Items
You can hold up to 3 items. Press F to drop unwanted items and make room for better pickups. Good inventory management gives you the right tools at the right time.
Hit Opponents for Speed
Striking another player with your club stuns them AND gives you a speed boost. In close races near the hole, a quick swing can make all the difference.
Don't Underestimate Speed Items
Spring Boots and Coffee might not look flashy, but reaching the hole faster than opponents is huge. Being ahead keeps you away from the chaos behind you.
Elephant Gun = Mobility Tool
The Elephant Gun's knockback can propel YOU forward! Point at the ground, jump, and shoot to boost yourself toward the goal. Turn a weapon into transportation.
Adjust Your Swing Angle
Use middle mouse to change swing angle. Higher angles send the ball further in the air (good for obstacles). Lower angles keep it rolling (good for precision near the hole).
Prioritize Checkpoints
The floating red objects that turn green are checkpoints. If you fall off or into water, you respawn at your last checkpoint. Missing them means starting further back!
Multiple Ways to Score
Points come from: finishing the hole, finishing first, fewer strokes, and knockouts. You don't need to focus on just one - mix strategies based on the situation.
How Scoring Works
Super Battle Golf uses a point-based system:
- Finishing Position: First place gets maximum points, decreasing for 2nd, 3rd, etc.
- Stroke Count: Fewer shots = more points
- Knockouts: Stunning opponents earns points
- Match Winner: Highest total points after all holes wins
