A Mega Strike is a captain's strongest ability in Mario Strikers Charged. They are the successor to Super Strikes from Super Mario Strikers. A character can perform a Mega Strike if the player holds 
to charge until a meter appears, and then through proper timing, a player determines the number of balls as the meter swings right. When the meter moves back towards the left, proper timing determines how fast they will shoot the ball, and lining up speed on the orange marker directly allows for the fastest available shot. The captain then launches into the air, powers up further and then slams the ball towards the goalie. However, the goalie can block the goals by using the Mega Strike Block. Players can shoot between three and six balls. Balanced captains have a balanced chance of getting the best choices for both sides; Playmaker and Defensive captains have a bigger orange zone of doing very fast Mega Strikes, while they have a smaller zone to fire six balls; Power and Offensive captains have a bigger zone of firing up to six balls, while they have a smaller zone to do very fast Mega Strikes. If a player character scores a Mega Strike, a small cutscene celebration will be shown for a few seconds. When defending a Mega Strike the player can use the 
to control the Kritter's hand and block the incoming soccer balls.
Every Mega Strike except Petey Piranha's appears during the opening cutscene of Mario Strikers Charged.
Mega Strikes are unnamed except on the official Japanese website. The names (which are themselves derived from English) along with their English transliterations are listed below.[1]
