Much like the other Mario-themed sports titles like Mario Tennis and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour , Super Mario Strikers takes a complex sport and boils it down into a more simple formula. Across a handful of game modes, you'll pick your favorite Super Mario character and lead a team of athletes in 5-on-5 bouts of soccer. Featuring power-ups pulled from the Mario Kart franchise, four different difficulty modes, and entertaining cheat codes, this is a soccer game that should appeal to players of all skill.
Unfortunately, Super Mario Strikers is painfully light on story. In fact, there's barely a story to speak of, which is disappointing when compared to some of the other Mario-themed sports games.
Instead, Super Mario Strikers brings together most of your favorite Super Mario characters to settle their grudges in fierce games of soccer. Mario must face off against some of his all-time villains, including Wario, Waluigi, and of course, Bowser. Leading a team of their own as captain, the characters compete in a handful of championship tournaments, all battling for the trophy at the end.
Luckily though, the gameplay makes up for it. As long as you have a fundamental knowledge of the rules of soccer or football, depending on where you live , Super Mario Strikers is easy enough to understand.
Even if you're a bit rusty, the game has both a practice mode and tutorials to help you learn the ropes. In each match, two teams of five players compete to score the most goals by passing, shooting the ball, and using power-ups.
Matches can run from 2 to 15 minutes, but are set to 5 minutes normally. Whether you're playing solo or with up to three other friends, you'll spend most of your time in the Cup and Super Cup Battles, where you battle for glory in eight different tournaments. If you manage to reach first place in some of the tournaments, you'll even unlock new cheat codes! Cheat codes can also be used across every mode in the game and unlock things like Infinite Power Ups, extra-strong Perfect Strikes, and more.
Speaking of power-ups, you'll often earn Mario Kart-style items during play, including Green Shells, Bananas, and Mushroom boosts. This helps add another layer of arcade fun to the gameplay, further distinguishing it from realistic simulators.
Even if you prefer Golf , Tennis, or basketball over soccer, Super Mario Strikers is still a good time. Each captain has a special 'Super Charge' shot they can do once on the opposing side of the field which is worth 2x if scored. Each captain and sidekicks team members you can pick such as Birdo's, Koppa's, ect. During game play, you can get various power ups such as: bob-ombs, red shells, green shells, stars, ect. As you would imagine in a wacky Mario sports game, there is no such thing as 'Penalties' unlike regular soccer.
This game is very fun and can be quite challenging if you get far enough. Even though the game would be considered very short for those who are very skilled with soccer games, this is a game you will love to play for many months to come.
