Always reliable, Mario is a great all-round player with impressive technique.
Anything goes
on this pitch!
Aim for victory with teamwork, tackles, table-turning items, and score-boosting Hyper Strikes in Mario Strikers: Battle League Football on Nintendo Switch. Do whatever it takes to win in frantic local multiplayer and team up with other players online to become the world’s top club!
Introducing
Strike!
Mario and friends face off against each other in Strike, a five vs five, football-like sport without any of those pesky rules getting in the way!
The team who scores the most goals wins, but with crunching Team Tackles flying in and all sorts of items adding to the chaos (not to mention the electric fences containing the carnage), scoring is easier said than done!
Hit the back of the net with a powerful Hyper Strike though, and TWO goals are added to the tally…
The squad
Assemble a team of Mushroom Kingdom all-stars, made up of four Strikers and a goalkeeper trying to keep the ball out of your net. Each character has their own stats such as Speed, Passing and Strength, as well as the ability to unleash a game-changing Hyper Strike. Here’s how the squad lines up…

Suit up
Equipping your Strikers with different gear will not only change their look, but also tailor their attributes to suit your gameplan. Use in-game coins earned by playing matches to unlock new gear sets to don during your next fixture. Mix and match the various sets to find your ideal combination of stats and style.
Items
Pick up a ? Block during a match and you’ll receive a random item to stop your opponents in their tracks, or clear your path to goal. Here’s what’s up for grabs:
Star
Temporarily makes the Striker invincible, boosts their stats, and ensures any opponent who gets physical is roundly rebounded.
Green Shell
A Green Shell cannoning around the pitch will keep everyone on their toes (or put them on their behind).
Banana
A well-placed slippy banana skin is an excellent way to stop a marauding Striker in their tracks.
Mushroom
Use this handy power-up for a brief speed boost that could be the difference between a successful dribble and an unplanned meeting with the electric fence.
Bob-omb
Nothing says “actually, that’s my ball” like an explosive lobbed in the direction of an opposing Striker.
Red Shell
Nothing comes between the Red Shell and its target, not even other Strikers.
Teamwork
Up to eight friends can gather around the TV and take to the field together on one Nintendo Switch console*. Alternatively, grab your best strike partner and connect with up to 3 other consoles via local wireless* or online** for more multiplayer mayhem.
Of course, working with your teammates will be the key to victory. Utilise manual passes to play the ball into space and create scoring opportunities, or launch a teammate into opposing players with a sneaky Team Tackle and steal the ball right off their toes.
Strikers Club
Take part in the online Strikers Club mode** and create your own club, including customising the stadium, kits, and team crest. Recruit players and compete against other clubs from around the world during week-long seasons to earn enough points to climb up the divisions.
