Super Mario Strikers: Difference between revisions

}}

This was the last ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' game released for the Nintendo GameCube in Japan and North America. In Europe and Australia, ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' holds this distinction.

The [[Super Strike]] is a special ability of the team's captain. By performing it, the player can take a high-powered shot at the goal; if they score with a Super Strike, it counts as two goals instead of one.

Within this game, it is necessary to know some basic and advanced skills. There are some explanations about these according to the Mario Strikers tutorial, the ''Strikers 101''.

Other information such as Super Strikes and Power-ups are explained aside.

Power-ups are items that are obtained when the player attempts to make a goal, or gets fouled when not holding the ball. They appear at the top of the screen, on a bar displaying up to two items. The player can use the items to get or defend the ball, like tripping their opponents with bananas or summoning a huge Chain Chomp to stun them. Power-ups can be disabled at the Gameplay Mode screen. It is notable that the goalkeepers are immune to all sorts of power-ups, as they are to regular attack moves.

*'''[[Giant Green Shell]]s:''' Essentially a larger version of the green shell. Anything standing in the way of its destructive path will merely be bowled over. These shells are only available as a single.

The Fields in ''Super Mario Strikers'' do not affect gameplay, and thus are only cosmetic changes.

There are four difficulty settings. The higher the difficulty is set, the more the passing, deking, and Super Strike skills of the CPU increase:

Note: In the Super Cups, the Novice (Rookie) setting is not available.

Cheats are special options available in the cheat menu. They can be unlocked by winning a Super Cup or a Gold trophy. Their effects vary. These only work for free play modes, not for the cups.

===Grudge Match===

Two teams participate in a series at the field of their choice. They can play for as many games as they want.

===Cup Battle===

Players choose a single team and participate in one of the four Cups. If they quit their match in the middle, they forfeit the match.

===Super Cup Battle===

The same as a Cup Battle, but the four Super Cups can be played.

===Custom Battle===

Three to eight teams play in a league table or knockout bracket. The table can be a single or double round-robin.

===Strikers 101===

A tutorial menu. Players can learn the basics of the game and hone their skills. More than one player can participate, and the players can choose any character. While scores are counted, there is an infinite time limit. At the beginning of the match, there is a menu that automatically opens, and options show how to do certain techniques. During gameplay, a scrolling bar of information on the bottom shows what button inputs does what. Players can play only on Pipeline Central in this mode.

===Spoils===

Players can view their awards and records.

===Infinite ball shots===

This glitch can appear during matches. A character must hold the Football and go to the opponent's field. If the player shoots the ball towards the goalie without charging and is hit by a [[Blue Shell]] and frozen at the same time<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnLAbZNOD_k&feature=plcp Blue Shell Glitch]</ref>, the ball will remain stuck on their feet, but keeps emitting the purple rings caused by the kick while the victim is frozen. Because of that, the goalie responds to block the shot, repeatedly lunging and falling in an attempt to get the ball. In this state, the Ball cannot be taken by the other characters; the glitch wears off once the victim is unfrozen and shoots the ball normally.

===Super Team without unlocking===  

If player two rapidly taps the {{button|gcn|A}} and {{button|gcn|B}} buttons on a captain, as player one pushes {{button|gcn|A}} on the locked Super Team on the character select screen, the first player can play as Super Team without unlocking them.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhvui8-KL4E "Super Mario Strikers Super Team Glitch," from Firebird2031]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 12, 2015.</ref>

===Imperfect Strike===

As a consequence, both the player's own and their rival's teams will remain unable to move; not only that, but the camera will also be stuck on a different angle while still focusing on the ball. The only character the player can unfreeze during this glitch is their rival's Kritter goalkeeper; to do so, they have to fail a Super Strike, so the Kritter can either catch it or throw it back; both of these actions will allow the Kritter to move again. To fully disable the glitch, the player has to score a goal so the screen displays the celebration and the replay; after that, all characters will be able to move again.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybdnA9QkMtY "Mario super strikers funniest glitch ever!!" from Blue Pianta Rules!!!].
