Mario Strikers: Battle League (known in European languages as Mario Strikers: Battle League Football)[2][3] is an upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch. It is the third game in the Mario Strikers series, featuring new gear, items, and moves. Up to 8 players can play the game in multiplayer. The game also supports online "club mode" with up to 20 players. The game is set to release on June 10, 2022.[4]
Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to that of previous Mario Strikers games, where two teams of five (four players and a goalie) compete for points by getting the ball into the opposing team's net. Unlike in previous games, no generic sidekicks appear to be present in the game so far, with teams being comprised entirely of main playable characters and a goalie.[4]
A new ability introduced in this game is called the Hyper Strike, which acts as the game's special move, much like the Super Strike from Super Mario Strikers and Mega Strike from Mario Strikers Charged, and are activated in a similar manner as the latter. Unlike those moves, however, Hyper Strikes must first be obtained by collecting an Orb that occasionally appears on the field. Additionally, each character's Hyper Strike has different gameplay-related properties, making them similar to that of the Special Shots from Mario Sports Mix. Hyper Strikes are also able to bypass goalies.[4]
Gear can be purchased from the in-game shop with Coins, which allow the player to adjust the characters' stats. When selecting characters, the player can choose whether to equip their character with gear or not.[4]
Power-ups
Power-Ups return from previous games, though this time, they are obtained from ? Blocks like other Mario spinoff games.[4]
- Giant Green Shells: Moves forwards and hit anybody in its way.[4]
- Giant Red Shells: Chases and attack nearby opponents.[4]
- Mega Bob-ombs: Walks around for a brief period of time before exploding.[4]
- Mushrooms: Speeds up the character for a certain period of time.[4]
- Banana Peels: Can be placed on the ground and trips anyone who touches it.[4]
- Stars: Makes the character invincible for a certain period of time.[5]
Characters
There are currently 10 playable characters confirmed to be in the game. Of those characters, Rosalina is playable for the first time in the Mario Strikers series, while Toad now appears as a main playable character instead of his species appearing as sidekicks in previous games. Boom Booms are seen as goalies, a role that was taken by Kritters in previous games.
Playable
- Mario: His Hyper Strike involves him kicking the ball high into the air, before jumping and striking it with a bicycle kick.[4]
- Luigi: His Hyper Strike involves creating a tornado, which can suck opposing players into it, before shooting the ball at the goal.[4]
- Bowser: His Hyper Strike involves throwing the ball after engulfing it in flames.[4]
- Peach: Her Hyper Strike involves doing a jump kick, making the ball travel in a curve.[4]
- Rosalina[4]
- Toad[4]
- Yoshi: His Hyper Strike involves him laying a Giant Egg, which bounces around the stage randomly before firing itself into the goal.[4]
- Donkey Kong[4]
- Wario[4]
- Waluigi[4]

Non-playable
Fields
Unlike previous Mario Strikers games, the soccer fields now consist of two individual halves, each with a different theme. It is unknown if each field half will have individual stage gimmicks (like in Mario Strikers Charged) or will only have aesthetic changes (like in Super Mario Strikers). Like previous games, electric fences that can shock players are present around the perimeter of the field.[4]
- マッシュルームヒル (Mushroom Hill):[5] Themed after a traditional Super Mario level. The turf features designs of a ? Block and Warp Pipes. The electric fence is designed after the Brick Block. The goal is made out of Warp Pipes.[4]
- ラバキャッスル (Lava Castle):[5] The turf features a design of a fire on a torch resembling Bowser's cuffs. The electric fence is designed after a Chain-Link. The goal is made out of metal and features two lit torches on top.[4]
- ホラーマンション (Horror Mansion):[5] Themed after a haunted mansion with a design resembling the Dark Moon from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (also developed by Next Level Games) on it. The turf features a design of a spooky tree viewed through a window. The electric fence is designed after spider webs. The goal is made out of wood with some older-styled decorations on top.[4]
- リゾートジャングル (Resort Jungle):[5] The turf features a design of a barrel and two vines. The electric fence is designed after bananas. The goal is made out of trees and logs being held together by rope, and having some feathers on top.[4]
- プリンセスキャッスル (Princess Castle)[5]
Promotion
On April 13, 2022, the Nintendo UK Twitter account announced that any pre-orders of the game made through the My Nintendo Store will receive a bonus Fan Scarf.[6]
