'''Technique''', also called '''Technical''' or '''Skill''', is a type of playstyle used by various characters in sports spin-offs in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. Technique type characters are generally known for focusing on precision over other stats such as speed or power. The type has appeared in many sports titles, such as the ''[[Mario Tennis (series)|Mario Tennis]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, among others. [[Princess Peach]] is almost always a Technique-type character, while [[Princess Daisy]] and [[Waluigi]] are often Technique-type as well.

==Notes==
*The Playmaker type was called テクニカル (''tekunikaru'', "technical") in the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', but its stats were more closely related to the Speed type.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|title=''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' official website|url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/r4qj/chara/index.html|language=ja|accessdate=March 10, 2025}}</ref> The type was renamed to Speed in ''[[Mario Strikers: Battle League]]'', where a proper Technique type was added.
