There is another way to affect someone’s ball during Speed mode in Mario Golf: Super Rush. It does not require a special move either and is one of the better Mario Golf tips around. Running into another player's ball on the field will cause it to roll. Fooling around with an opponent’s ball can be a waste of time, though, so don’t mess with it too much. The main goal is to finish the course first.

Balls can also be affected by golf moves. For example, Luigi uses an ice flower that covers the ground in ice wherever his ball lands. This can make other balls roll all over the place, along with characters who step in the zone. Of course, some power shots end up affecting balls upon impact, which makes it important to wait for other players to hit their shots before foiling their plans with a well-placed super shot.
