'''''Mario Strikers Charged''''' (known as '''''Mario Strikers Charged Football''''' in European languages) is a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' soccer [[Wii]] game and the sequel to the 2005 [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', developed by [[Next Level Games]] and is the second game in the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' series. Up to four players can participate in this game, attempting to kick the ball into another opponent's goal; the soccer in this game, however, has several differences from the real soccer, such as the ability to tackle other players with a minimal penalty, using ''Super Mario''-themed items to give players an advantage over their opponents, and playing with stage hazards effectively. This game places a higher emphasis on individual character attributes compared to its precedent, by not only assigning stats, but by also giving team captains a unique [[Super Ability]] and the [[Mega Strike]], an opportunity to score up to six goals. Meanwhile, a team itself can be composed of several different ''Super Mario'' species, each with also unique attributes including [[Skillshot]]s. Another introduced mechanic is the power level of the ball. Indicated by the color of the glow, the shots of the ball become more quick and powerful the more active it is, thus making it easier to score goals with. The game, as with its predecessor, also stylistically differs from most ''Super Mario'' games with more realistic sci-fi tones, from the menu interface to the stage designs, in contrast to the more common bright and whimsical cartoon themes. | '''''Mario Strikers Charged''''' (known as '''''Mario Strikers Charged Football''''' in European languages) is a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' soccer [[Wii]] game and the sequel to the 2005 [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', developed by [[Next Level Games]] and is the second game in the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' series.

The game's opening begins with [[Mario]] and [[Bowser]] in a blimp which is the interior of [[Stormship Stadium]]. The camera rolls down to reveal the soccer field in a stormy war-like zone of [[The Wastelands]]. Spectators get electrocuted by the electrical fences, and the whole area is covered in dust and thunderstorms. Bowser shoves Mario out of the way and skydives with Mario following. As Bowser reaches the ground, he breathes fire. | The game's opening begins with [[Mario]] and [[Bowser]] in a blimp which is the interior of [[Stormship Stadium]].

As mentioned above, ''Mario Strikers Charged'' is based on {{wp|street football|street soccer}}. However, the sport played is much more physical. Two teams of four (not counting goalie) face off against each other to kick the [[Soccer Ball|ball]] into the goal within the [[Time Limit|time limit]] ranging from two to five minutes (three as the default amount). They may also choose to compete to reach a certain amount of goals first. When the time runs out, whoever has the most goals (or the next goal, if [[Sudden Death|sudden death]] occurs) wins the match. If the score is tied at the end of the set amount, the current music will change and the siren will sound, signaling sudden death. Overall, the game has become much harsher as time has passed. Because of this, players now wear protective gear. Players may utilize various strategies, such as items or special powers, to get ahead. The information regarding the use of items and special aspects of stadiums are found in their respective sections in this article. | As mentioned above, ''Mario Strikers Charged'' is based on {{wp|street football|street soccer}}.

===Teams and Player Roles=== | ===Teams and Player Roles=== | ||
Each team is headed by a captain, supported by three offensive/defensive sidekicks and one goalie. Two teams face each other with the aim to score the most points. Points are scored by shooting the ball past the goalie and into the goal. The captain is the leading member of any team and possesses both a [[Super Ability]] and a [[Mega Strike]]. While often an afterthought, sidekicks are crucial to the game. Knowing which position a sidekick is best at (such as defense or offense) can make or break a game. Goalies, or keepers as they are known in the European version, are the final line of defense. They are permitted to use their hands to block goals, but often are forced to use their bodies to do so. | Each team is headed by a captain, supported by three offensive/defensive sidekicks and one goalie.

In keeping with the combative nature of the Strikers sport, the many offensive items at the disposal of players are cinematic and devastating.

*'''[[Banana|Banana Peel]]s:''' A staple of the ''Super Mario'' sports series, Banana Peels again play the role of a landmine. Players who touch a Banana Peel fall to the ground and lose the ball if in possession. Banana Peels come in sets of three or five normal-sized items. There also is a [[Giant Banana|bigger version]] of the Banana Peel which comes in a set of one, and it does not leave behind three smaller Banana Peels when someone touches it like it does in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' | *'''[[Banana|Banana Peel]]s:''' A staple of the ''Super Mario'' sports series, Banana Peels again play the role of a landmine.

*'''[[Green Shell]]s:''' Green Shells are the basic projectile item. They do not home in on players, but because they come in sets of three, they are very effective at close range. If they make contact with a wall, they ricochet off. However, they are destroyed upon contact with a player. The player that gets hit falls and is stunned for a brief moment. | *'''[[Green Shell]]s:''' Green Shells are the basic projectile item.

*'''[[Bob-omb]]s:''' Some of the most devastating items in the game, Bob-ombs come in sets of three or five, deployed in front of the player with the ball, or the player closest to the teammate with the ball. All players caught in the blast radius, excluding the user, are affected by the blast. They cause tremendous explosions that literally ram players into the field. Unlike in other games, the player who deploys the Bob-ombs cannot be injured by them as they explode on contact with the ground, although their teammates can. | *'''[[Bob-omb]]s:''' Some of the most devastating items in the game, Bob-ombs come in sets of three or five, deployed in front of the player with the ball, or the player closest to the teammate with the ball.

*'''[[Mega Bob-omb]]s:''' The largest item-based explosive in the game, the Mega Bob-omb can only be fired one at a time. All players caught in the blast radius, excluding the user, are affected by the blast. However, the size of the explosion is much greater than that of an individual Bob-omb.

Systematically attacking every single player on the opposing team by ramming him or her into the ground, the Chain Chomp can easily turn the tide of the game, although it will not hesitate to flatten the user and their teammates if they are in the way. If the user's team is not in possession of the ball, the Chain Chomp falls onto the pitch right on top of the player in possession. The item is very rare, and it mostly appears if a team is losing badly. | ||

*'''[[Mushroom]]s:''' Unlike [[Super Mushroom]]s, the Mushroom only makes characters faster. (The size increase is negligible.) This item is especially effective when surrounded by the opposing team.

This item is useful for turning the tide of the game and for scoring any time of goal. To have enough time for a 6-ball [[Mega Strike]], the player should activate it right when the meter appears. | *'''[[Star]]s:''' The defensive equivalent of the [[Chain Chomp]], Stars make players invincible for a short period of time.

A Super Ability item, represented by icons of the team Captain's head, allows the Captain to use their Super Ability. The effects of each Super Ability are different. Depending on the captain, Super Abilities can be either offensive, defensive, or both. The Super Ability items are most effective when used to clear a field before performing a Mega Strike. As an example, Luigi's special item can allow him to stomp on the other team and then use his Mega Strike. The list of Super Abilities can be seen in the [[#Captains|Captains]]' table. {{br}} | A Super Ability item, represented by icons of the team Captain's head, allows the Captain to use their Super Ability.

Designed for one to four players, Road to the Strikers Cup is the standard tournament mode seen in all of the Mario sports games. Players are challenged by various teams across three cups. As the mode progresses, its difficulty increases. Alternatively, players can choose to play in ''Extreme Mode'', which makes the game difficult from the start.

Each character has its individual advantages and disadvantages. However, strategic team creation can serve to offset the disadvantages and play to each individual's advantages. Additionally, each character also has a theme song that plays when they score a goal and during their home entrance. [[Bowser]], [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Petey Piranha]] are new captains to the series, while [[Boo]], [[Dry Bones]], [[Monty Mole]], and [[Shy Guy]] are new sidekicks. | Each character has its individual advantages and disadvantages.
