What Are Mines in Super Battle Golf?
Mines are explosive hazards that players can place on the course using the Mine item. When a golf ball hits a mine, it explodes and launches the ball in a random direction, often into hazards or off the map.
Mines are one of the most disruptive items in Super Battle Golf, making them a priority target for disarming.
How to Disarm Mines
Step-by-Step Disarm Process
1. Locate the Mine
Mines appear as small red devices on the course. They're visible to all players and have a subtle blinking light.
2. Approach Safely
Important: Walk to the mine - don't hit it with your ball! If your ball touches the mine, it will explode.
Use WASD (PC) or left stick (controller) to walk your character to the mine's location.
3. Hold the Disarm Button
Stand directly next to the mine and hold:
- E on PC keyboard
- X on Xbox controller
- Square on PlayStation controller
A progress bar will appear above your character.
4. Wait for Completion
Keep holding the button for approximately 2 seconds. Don't release early or you'll have to restart.
5. Mine Disarmed
Once the progress bar fills, the mine disappears and is permanently removed from the course.
Why Disarm Mines?
🛡️ Protect Your Shot
Remove mines from your ball's path before taking your shot to avoid explosions.
🎯 Tactical Advantage
Disarm enemy mines to deny them strategic positioning and control.
⏱️ Time Pressure
Force opponents to waste time re-placing mines or finding alternate routes.
🏆 Safe Passage
Clear the green area of mines before attempting your final putt.
Advanced Disarm Strategies
When to Disarm vs. Avoid
| Situation | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Mine on direct path to hole | ✅ Disarm | Necessary for safe shot |
| Mine near green | ✅ Disarm | Prevents final putt disasters |
| Mine far from your line | ❌ Ignore | Wastes time, not a threat |
| Multiple mines clustered | ⚠️ Use alternate route | Too risky/time-consuming |
| You're in last place | ✅ Disarm aggressively | Disrupt leaders' strategies |
Pro Tips for Disarming
- Disarm during opponent's turn - Use their shot time to safely disarm mines without losing your own time
- Check for mine clusters - If you see 2+ mines together, consider using an item to clear them instead
- Disarm on the green first - Prioritize mines near the hole where precision matters most
- Watch for re-placement - Opponents can place new mines, so disarm right before your shot
- Use as distraction - Disarming forces opponents to watch you instead of planning their shot
Common Mistakes
❌ Hitting the Mine with Your Ball
Problem: Trying to shoot past a mine without disarming it first.
Solution: Always walk to disarm if the mine is anywhere near your shot path. The 2-second disarm time is faster than recovering from an explosion.
❌ Releasing the Button Too Early
Problem: Letting go of the disarm button before the progress bar completes.
Solution: Hold the button firmly until you see the mine disappear. The full animation takes ~2 seconds.
❌ Disarming Every Mine
Problem: Wasting time disarming mines that don't affect your shot.
Solution: Only disarm mines that are directly in your path or near the hole. Ignore distant mines.
Mine Item Counters
Besides disarming, you can counter mines with these items:
💣 Bomb
Throw a bomb to destroy multiple mines at once from a safe distance.
🌪️ Tornado
Tornado can pick up and remove mines from the course.
🧲 Magnet
Pull mines away from your ball's path without disarming.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to disarm a mine?
Disarming a mine takes approximately 2 seconds of holding the disarm button. The progress bar shows your disarm progress.
Can I disarm mines while it's not my turn?
Yes! You can walk around and disarm mines during other players' turns. This is a smart strategy to save time on your own turn.
What happens if I hit a mine with my ball?
The mine explodes and launches your ball in a random direction. This usually results in landing in hazards, water, or off the map - costing you strokes.
Can opponents see me disarming their mines?
Yes. All players can see when someone is disarming a mine. The disarm animation and progress bar are visible to everyone.
Can I be interrupted while disarming?
If you release the button or move away from the mine, the disarm is cancelled and you must start over. However, other players cannot directly interrupt your disarm.
How many mines can be on the course at once?
There's no hard limit, but each player can only carry 3 items at a time. In an 8-player game, you could theoretically see 24+ mines if everyone uses mine items.
