'''''Super Mario Strikers''''' (also known as '''''Mario Smash Football''''' in Europe and Australia) is [[Mario]]'s first ever association football game, and the final Mario release for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The game features a version of football without referees and rules, and has Power-Ups and special strikes which count as two goals. Its sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' was released for the [[Wii]] in 2007.

==Gameplay elements==
[[File:DaisyStrikesBowser.png|thumb|left|200px|On random occasions, [[Bowser]] appears on the field.]]
In comparison to actual football, the game features a smaller version of the football pitch, and each team has only five members, instead of the usual eleven-a-side rule. The match time can be manually set from 2 to 15 minutes, but is defined as 5 minutes by default. If necessary, a [[wikipedia:Sudden death (sport)|sudden death]] follows the regular game time. With this rule, no game ends as a draw. 

Each team consists of a team captain and three sidekicks of the same type, as well as a goalkeeper. Every match of the game can be played in multiplayer. Up to four players can control a single team. If there are less than four players, they can switch their characters on the field, and the game switches control automatically to the next player when the [[Soccer Ball|ball]] is passed. Players can only control the goalie for a short time when he has the ball in hand. Because of this, the goalies are immune to all attacks by enemies or power-ups, and save most goals easily. The football fields are surrounded by an [[Electric Fence|electric fence]] which electrocutes anybody who gets kicked against it by another player or by a power-up. The fence is placed right on the touchlines,  preventing the ball and players from leaving the pitch. Thus, there are no [[wikipedia:Throw-in|throw-ins]], [[wikipedia:Goal kick|goal kicks]], or [[wikipedia:Corner kick|corner kicks]], as seen in actual football.

One of the most notable changes is the non-existence of a referee. As such, there is no [[wikipedia:Offside (football)|offside position]] and [[wikipedia:Foul (football)|fouls]] are not punished. Players are given a variety of commands to kick or hit each other, which is a major part of the gameplay. Items (also called [[#Power-Ups|Power-Ups]]) exist as a help to the player to score a goal. They serve a function similar to the items in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. To obtain an item, the player has to shoot the ball fiercely towards the goalposts. A player also gets an item when one of his players, who does not hold the ball, is tackled.

The so-called [[Super Strike]] is a special ability of the team's captain. By performing it, the player can hit the ball straight to the goal. When the player manages to score a goal, it counts as two goals instead of one.

|-
|}

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

== Power-Ups ==
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 his or her opponents with bananas or summoning an 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.

* '''[[Banana|Banana Peels]]:''' Bananas are tossed on the floor and stay there until a character slips on it. They come in sets of 1 to 6 peels.

* '''[[Green Shell|Normal Green Shell]]s:''' Green shells fly in a straight line, bouncing off the walls and harming anybody who gets hit by them. They can be obtained as a single or [[Triple Green Shells|triplets]].

* '''[[Red Shell|Normal Red Shell]]s:''' When red shells are shot, they home in on the nearest character, tripping or knocking them over. Red shells are destroyed if they bump into walls. They can be obtained as a single or [[Triple Red Shells|triplets]].

* '''[[Blue Shell|Normal Blue Shell]]s:''' Blue shells act just like green shells, but with one difference: they freeze their victims, rather than just knocking them over. Like the green and red shells, they come as singles or sets of three.

* '''[[Spiny Shell|Normal Spiny Shell]]s:''' Spiny shells act in a similar manner to green shells. However, when they come into contact with a character, they do not disappear, instead continuing until they either hit another item or bounce off the wall twice. This shell, as usual, can be obtained as either singles or triplets.

*'''[[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.

* '''[[Giant Red Shell]]s:''' The red version of the giant shell. Unlike the small version, they continue to move after bumping into a wall. When initially shot off, they will home in on the nearest character, but afterwards, they merely act like a giant green shell. Like the green ones, they only come in sets of one shell.

* '''[[Giant Blue Shell]]s:''' Acts in the same manner as the giant green shells, with the exception of freezing characters on impact. On occasion, the shell will also explode on impact, affecting any nearby characters as well. Like the other giant shells, they only come in sets of one.

* '''[[Giant Spiny Shell]]s:''' These shells are completely unstoppable, leaving behind a trail of destruction anywhere they go. Only comes in sets of one.

* '''[[Bob-omb]]s:''' After being thrown, these living explosives will stand still for a second, then blow up, affecting anyone who is too close to it. They can be obtained in sets of one or three.

* '''[[Giant Bob-omb]]:''' Essentially a larger Bob-omb. Their explosion radius is roughly four times larger. Plus, it sends out a shockwave, harming anyone who is even near it.

* '''[[Mushroom]]:''' Doubles the user's speed. 

* '''[[Star]]:''' Doubles the user's speed, as well as harming anyone they come in contact with. Can only be obtained by the losing team.

* '''[[Chain Chomp]]''': This all-powerful huge monster will appear as a big shadow over the character who has the ball. Once it lands, it begins running around, hunting and stunning all of the opponents' members and destroying everything in its path. Chain Chomps do not go away without having stunned at least one character. Only the losing team can come into possession of a Chain Chomp.

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

=== Difficulties ===
There are four difficulty settings. The higher the difficulty is set, the more the passing, deking, and Super Strike skills of the CPU increase:
* '''Novice''' ('''Rookie''' in the US version): A very easy level. CPU lets the player win and make Super Strikes.
* '''Professional:''' An easy level. CPU will make some unexpected maneuvers, such as dekes and Super Strikes.
* '''Superstar:''' Hard. The CPU takes the ball, and tries to make a goal. Also, the CPU can rumble the player's Super Strike meter to attempt throwing the player off.
* '''Legend:''' Very hard. CPU can try to steal the ball and attack the player. If it has the ball, it can make dekes as soon as the player attempts to attack it. The CPU also attempts Perfect Strikes. It can rumble the player's Super Strike meter to attempt throwing the player off.

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

== Trophies ==

==Glitches==
==={{conjecturaltext|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 at the same time is hit by a [[Blue Shell]] and frozen <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnLAbZNOD_k&feature=plcp Blue Shell Glitch]</ref>, the ball will remain stuck on his or her feet, but keeps emitting the purple ring caused by the kick infinite times 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 and the glitch wears off once the victim is unfrozen and shoots the ball normally.
==={{conjecturaltext|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].

==Trivia==
[[File:Super Mario Strikers Widescreen Image.png|thumb|right|200px|16:9]]
*This is the only ''Mario'' Nintendo GameCube game to support 16:9 widescreen as well as 480p.
*Concept art shows that Mario's team number was ten (10). When the game was released, the number 10 was assigned as Peach's team number, while the number 1 (usually reserved for goalkeepers) was assigned as Mario's team number.
*This is the first game to feature [[Kenny James|Kenneth W. James]] who temporarily replaces [[Scott Burns]] as the voice of Bowser, a role that would become permanent starting with ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
**Likewise, [[Jen Taylor]] did not voice [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] or record any new voice clips for the characters, even though the game was released before her departure from [[Nintendo]], making it the only Nintendo GameCube ''Mario'' game where she does not voice Peach and Toad.
*This was the last ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' game released for the [[Nintendo Gamecube]] in Japan and North America. In Europe and Australia, ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' holds this distinction.

-'''''Super Mario Strikers''''' (known as '''''Mario Smash Football''''' in European languages) is the first game in the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' series. The game features a version of soccer without referees and rules, and has power-ups and special strikes which count as two goals. Its sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', was released for the [[Wii]] in 2007.
+'''''Super Mario Strikers''''' (also known as '''''Mario Smash Football''''' in Europe and Australia) is [[Mario]]'s first ever association football game, and the final Mario release for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The game features a version of football without referees and rules, and has Power-Ups and special strikes which count as two goals. Its sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' was released for the [[Wii]] in 2007.
-This was the last ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] in Japan and North America. In Europe and Australia, ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' holds this distinction.
-==Opening cutscene==
-The opening begins with a bird's eye view of [[Pipeline Central]] with very excited spectators. Mario's team and Wario's team make their entrances to the stadium. Wario tries to provoke Mario by shaking his rear and laughing. Both of Mario and Wario's followers are seen on the bleachers. Then Mario begins the game with a kick-off.
-During the other matches, Peach steals the ball from Daisy, causing her to trip. Donkey Kong receives the ball, which leads to Yoshi to steal the ball for him, only for Yoshi to be attacked by a Bob-omb. Luigi attempts to steal the ball from Waluigi but misses. Waluigi is then paralyzed by a blue shell, allowing Luigi to kick the ball. A Koopa Troopa from DK's team jumps and pulls off a bicycle kick. A Hammer Bro from Daisy's team slips from a banana peel and gets electrocuted from the electric fences, allowing a Toad from Peach's team to headbutt the ball.
-Wario's team unleashes a Chain Chomp, which chases Mario. Bowser wreaks havoc and breathes fire during Luigi and Waluigi's match. Back to Mario and Wario's match, a Toad from Wario's team has the ball, but is hit by a Spiny Shell, allowing Mario to receive it. Once he gets close enough, he jumps up high and unleashes his [[Super Strike]], slamming the Kritter into the goal's net with the ball. Afterwards, Mario's team celebrates their victory as fireworks are seen in the sky.
 ==Gameplay elements==
 [[File:DaisyStrikesBowser.png|thumb|left|200px|On random occasions, [[Bowser]] appears on the field.]]
-In comparison to actual soccer, the game features a smaller version of the soccer field, and each team has only five members, instead of the usual eleven-a-side rule. The match time can be manually set from 2 to 15 minutes, but is defined as 5 minutes by default. If time runs out when scores are level, a [[Sudden Death]] follows the regular game time where next goal wins. With this rule, no game ends as a draw.
+In comparison to actual football, the game features a smaller version of the football pitch, and each team has only five members, instead of the usual eleven-a-side rule. The match time can be manually set from 2 to 15 minutes, but is defined as 5 minutes by default. If necessary, a [[wikipedia:Sudden death (sport)|sudden death]] follows the regular game time. With this rule, no game ends as a draw.
-Each team consists of a team captain and three sidekicks of the same type, as well as a goalkeeper. Every match of the game can be played in multiplayer. Up to four players can control a single team. If there are less than four players, they can switch their characters on the field, and the game switches control automatically to the next player when the [[Soccer Ball|ball]] is passed. Players can only control the goalie for a short time when he has the ball in hand. Because of this, the goalies are immune to all attacks by enemies or power-ups, and save most goals easily. The soccer fields are surrounded by an [[electric rail]] which electrocutes anybody who gets kicked against it by another player or by a power-up. The fence is placed right on the touchlines, preventing the ball and players from leaving the pitch. Thus, there are no {{wp|Throw-in|throw-ins}}, {{wp|Goal kick|goal kicks}}, or {{wp|Corner kick|corner kicks}}, as seen in actual soccer.

Thus, there are no [[wikipedia:Throw-in|throw-ins]], [[wikipedia:Goal kick|goal kicks]], or [[wikipedia:Corner kick|corner kicks]], as seen in actual football.
-One of the most notable changes is the non-existence of a referee. As such, there is no {{wp|Offside (football)|offside position}} and {{wp|Foul (football)|fouls}} are not punished. Players are given a variety of commands to kick or hit each other, which is a major part of the gameplay. Items (also called [[#Power-Ups|Power-Ups]]) exist as a help to the player to score a goal. They serve a function similar to the items in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. To obtain an item, the player has to shoot the ball fiercely towards the goalposts. A player also gets an item each time a team member not currently holding the ball is tackled.

-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.

-==Characters==
+== Playable characters ==
-There are a total of 13 playable characters in the game, with 8 standard team captains, 4 sidekicks, and a special team made up of copies. Each captain performs identically, but the size of the character and the chances of the items they obtain can vary. Sidekicks have slightly reduced abilities and cannot perform Super Strikes.

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

+* '''[[Banana|Banana Peels]]:''' Bananas are tossed on the floor and stay there until a character slips on it. They come in sets of 1 to 6 peels.
+* '''[[Green Shell|Normal Green Shell]]s:''' Green shells fly in a straight line, bouncing off the walls and harming anybody who gets hit by them. They can be obtained as a single or [[Triple Green Shells|triplets]].
+* '''[[Red Shell|Normal Red Shell]]s:''' When red shells are shot, they home in on the nearest character, tripping or knocking them over. Red shells are destroyed if they bump into walls. They can be obtained as a single or [[Triple Red Shells|triplets]].
+* '''[[Blue Shell|Normal Blue Shell]]s:''' Blue shells act just like green shells, but with one difference: they freeze their victims, rather than just knocking them over. Like the green and red shells, they come as singles or sets of three.
+* '''[[Spiny Shell|Normal Spiny Shell]]s:''' Spiny shells act in a similar manner to green shells. However, when they come into contact with a character, they do not disappear, instead continuing until they either hit another item or bounce off the wall twice. This shell, as usual, can be obtained as either singles or triplets.

It also shows Mario's team number was 10; however, in the final game, the number 10 was assigned as Peach's team number, while the number 1 (usually reserved for goalkeepers) was assigned as Mario's team number. Peach is also shown as wearing a different outfit. Early screenshots of the game showed different textures and outfits for characters. Super Strikes were also given to teammates and Team Captains were given different Super Strikes, which resemble the [[Mega Strike]]s used in the next game, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''.

The grand prize, awarded to 25 winners, was a copy of ''Super Mario Strikers'' and a soccer ball with a [[Chain Chomp]] pattern. The soccer ball was also given to the 100 winners of the second prize. The third prize, given to 50 winners, was a ''Nintendo Power'' t-shirt.

It's charmingly designed from the ground up to be as fun and accessible as possible, yet despite its astonishing simplicity, it still managed to hold our interest well beyond our expectations. With polished visuals, amusing audio and impressive technical touches adding the final gloss to this excellent, addictive package, it's yet another fine example of why the GameCube shouldn't be written off just yet.''"

No, it's not teenage Link taking down goblins with a bow while riding Epona, but it's definitely the must-own first-party title for a relatively weak GameCube showing this holiday season. The single-player should keep people tided over for a little bit, but not long for too long. The multiplayer more than covers the bases, though, as Strikers will join [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], the {{wp|Super Monkey Ball}} series, and the [[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]] games as one of the 'Cube's best titles for armchair warfare. Plus, how many Mario games get away with letting one of the characters do a crotch chop as a victory dance?''"

It delivers both intuitively learned and mastered control mechanics and that rare multiplayer experience that is incredibly hard to put down. So if you're planning to buy this one purely for its multiplayer offering, you can add a full point to our review score. However, the title is still far from perfect. Its single-player offering lacks features and is also void of the satisfying trash talking that distracts from the ho-hum graphics presentation.''"

-===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 at the same time is hit by a [[Blue Shell]] and frozen <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnLAbZNOD_k&feature=plcp Blue Shell Glitch]</ref>, the ball will remain stuck on his or her feet, but keeps emitting the purple ring caused by the kick infinite times 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 and the glitch wears off once the victim is unfrozen and shoots the ball normally.

''YouTube''. Retrieved February 12, 2015.</ref>
-===Imperfect Strike===
-In order to recreate this glitch, it is mostly recommended to play a Grudge Match with 2 players or more, and also to play with the Perfect Strike cheat code enabled. First, players must make sure that the rival captain is a tall player like Donkey Kong, Super Team, Waluigi, or Wario, then choose any other captain for their team. Before doing the Perfect Strike, the rival captain (along with one or two sidekicks if possible) must get up close in front of the Kritter goalkeeper while he faces the player's captain; only then, they should do the Perfect Strike from a long distance and, if executed correctly, the rival captain will get hit by the ball and not the goalie, preventing the score.
-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.

 ==Staff==
 {{main|List of Super Mario Strikers staff}}
-''Super Mario Strikers'' was made by staff of both [[Nintendo]] and [[Next Level Games]]. The game was produced by [[Satoru Iwata]] and [[Kensuke Tanabe]], and was supervised by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. The game was directed by Mike Inglehart of Next Level Games.
-This is the first game to feature [[Kenneth W. James]], who temporarily replaces [[Scott Burns]], as the voice of Bowser, a role that would become permanent starting with ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', making ''Super Mario Strikers'' the only GameCube game where James voices Bowser. Likewise, [[Jen Taylor]] did not voice [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] or record any new voice clips for the characters, even though the game was released before her departure from Nintendo, making it the only GameCube ''Super Mario'' game where she does not voice Peach and Toad.
