Product ReviewsSuper Mario Strikers (Nintendo GameCube, 2005)

Great multi-player game with non-stop action

Various ways and modes to play, good controls, nice sounds and visuals. Aside from the disturbing sounds of characters getting electrocuted (which could be turned off) and the suggestive cut-scenes (esp. Peach and Daisy), this is a solid game.Read full review...

Disc Damaged but plays fine

Disc label is peeling and appears to have morphed jn some areas. Game plays fine but disc needed to be cleaned pretty thoroughly. Other than that, the case and manual are in good shape and game plays fine. Read full review...

One of the Best Mario Sports Games Ever!!!

Super Mario Strikers (Gamecube, 2005)

One of the Best Mario Sports Games Ever!!!

That being said, I find that Mario Sports lose their replay value after a couple weeks, Super Mario Strikers holds true to this notion in single player mode. However Multi-player is a whole other story.

Super Mario Strikers multi-player is very simple but can be incredibly fun with 3 or more people. Don't use tournament mode, just use Grudge Match Mode and keep track of your own stats. My friends and I sometimes burn up to 3 hours doing this. We also turn off items, bowser attack and outlaw hitting, it makes the game a lot more fun if you actually want a challenge.

Pros:
- Great Multiplayer Mode
- The Goal Celebrations are pretty Good
- Good Selection of Main Characters
- Ability to daze Goalies with Hard shots
- Perfect Passes
- Hitting people into the fences (The screaming is awesome)

Cons:
- Not Enough Supporting Teammates (Two different Turtle types? Where are the Goombas?)
- Colour Scheme for players can sometimes be confusing (both teams have purple support players)
- The game is very hard on higher settings
- The hit button gets very annoying/Not able to turn off hitting in options menu
- Unlockables/Cheats leave you wanting more
- Single Player mode is short and loses it's replay value after a week
- Single Player mode might be too hard for younger players (10 and under)
- Goalies are extremely inconsistent
- Easy ability to pull off power shots

Final Verdict:

Even though the cons outweigh the pros in this game mainly due to flaws and replay value in single player mode, this game makes up for it in Multiplayer mode.

4/5

Rent or Buy: If you have a bunch of friends who spend a lot of time hanging out at your place, or if you have more than one child this game is a definate Buy.

This is the best Mario Sports game out there!

Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: TTM

I never even heard that this game was coming out when it first released, but then my friend came over and he had bought it on a whim, and we fell in love.>
This is the best Mario Sports game out there and differs from the other sports titles in the Mario series. It is rather refreshing to see a Mario game where the characters are not playing soccer to, say, free the twelve star maidens to chase Bowser away from the land, so they can party all night. This game is lacking any type of story, other then to win a tournament. It is full of out right hatred for the other players, and is quickly evident. The characters begin each match with a taunt, and then continue to bash each other around into electrical fences. (I really enjoy the sound of Daisy screaming as she hits an electrical Fence) It is the most fun I have ever had playing a soccer game.

The basic play is you and a team of 5 others (Sidekicks) is on the field competing against another team of 5. It will take tackles, shells, and the Captain’s (main character) super striker move to beat this match.

Over all this was a great game. Its graphics were not the best in the world, but they suited very well for this game. The one player mode was pretty fun, but where this game is best played in is multi-player mode. The controls are quick and easy to master, which is good for any player, new or veteran.

I give Super Mario Strikers an 8 out 10.Read full review...

Another Nintendo Wacky Sports Game

Nintendo did it again with Mario Strikers. This soccer based game is loads of fun as you pick your character (includes all nintendo characters from Wario to Birdo). Enjoy smashing your opponent with power up's like red shells and bombs to stop them from scoring a goal. Use your main character to kick a power goal worth 2 points. Grab three friends plus yourself and take on the computer in cup battles. Winning these cup battles unlocks several new features and cheats.

Lots of fun, gameplay is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. A must for any fan of nintendo's sports games. Good for all ages!Read full review...

Super Mario Strikers

This is a great Mario game that is soccer (football) with a twist. You can hit, throw items, and even have a Bowser attack in game (the last two things being optional) to add extra challenges. Overall it's a very fun, acrobatic type 4v4 melée soccer game that is sure to be a crowd pleaser.Read full review...

This is legit the most fun I’ve had with a video game in ages. Definitely recommend for speculative party hosts who like video games. Looking forward to hosting my own get-together after lockdown and surprising people with this game and others. Read full review...

Super Mario Strikers (GameCube)

I play a lot of soccer games, (you can see my review on fifa street) but this is one of the most fun ones I have played in all my years of game playing!!! As usual the Mario franchise has brought us amazing games that are fun for "kids" of all ages. Those great people in Japan haven't failed us once!!! In this game some of your favorite mario characters join together to play soccer or football as you might call it!!! This game has great gameplay modes such as grudge match, cup battles, and super cup battles!! This game also has a great tutorial so you can get a good deal on Ebay for one with no booklet, and still learn how to play on the game!!! I give it a 5 out of 5!!!! Please vote as this review was helpful!!!! Thanks!!!Read full review...

Super Mario Strikers for the Gamecube

Don’t buy the Wii version of this game for you and the kids. The motion controls are horrible. Buy the GameCube version. The graphics look the same or better and the controls are amazing with the GameCube Controller. It’s one of the best multiplayer sports games ever made.Read full review...

Excellent cartoon like video game

This is an excellent video game for children. I have spent countless hours playing with my 6 year old son. We are a team now ! He likes to play as Waluigi and I like to play as Luigi but we are always on the same team ! We then head out to the park and practice soccer, tennis and baseball !!!
If you have children and plan to purchase a video game console, please buy Nintendo... DON'T even think about buying a Playstation or an XBOX, and if you buy a Nintendo, buy the Mario franchise games, they'll love them (my kids friends have playstation's and XBOX's but they spent most of their free time Monday thru Friday at my home... playing Nintendo)!!!

Back to this video game. Super Mario Strikers is a cartoon like video game, don't expect FIFA 2007 or Madden NFL 2007. As a cartoon like video game you obviuosly have cartoon like graphics and behaviors. The game comes with several options to play a match, starting with a grudge match. You can also play regular cup matches, there are 4 cups and 4 super cups. All the matches have the same rules below:
There are 4 different difficulty levels: Rookie, professional, legend, etc ... The matches can last from 2 minutes up to 15 minutes. There are no half times. The matches are 4 on 4 plus the goalies, meaning that the teams are 5 players only. The captain of the team is always a major mushroom kingdom character, namely, Mario, Luigi, Peach, etc ... The team is completed by 3 sidekicks, birdo, toad, toadette, etc ... which are the same 3 per team, the goalie is always a lizzard for any team. You can control one character at a time, either the captain or a sideckick but not the goalie, unless he gets the ball, which actually makes the game quite frantic. You can pass, lob, shoot, slide, charge, etc ... with any of the characters BUT you can only powershoot with the captain. There are power ups also and this is where the cartoon like video game kicks in and the game becomes a chaos, franctic and a lot of fun. The characters can throw bombs, shells, freeze, etc ... at each other... and the game becomes very intensive and frantic once Bowser starts appearing causing chaos...
In this game you can play against the computer or with up to 4 players either on the same team or can pick to play either one against one or two against two. You can also pick the stadiums if you decide to play the grudge match BUT not in the cups.

Once again, please pay attention to this comment:

This video game is intended for the younger audience but can be a lot of fun for adults also. It is not intended for the 30 something single guy that plays manhunt on the playstation... which by the way is the majority of the video games buyers and I thank them, without them I would not have a business...Read full review...
