Mario Strikers: Battle League Football is the third game in the Strikers series. Nintendo's fun soccer game pits the most popular characters from the Mario universe against each other. Each character has its own strengths and weaknesses. In our guide you can find out which characters are particularly strong.

How do I determine a character's field position?

A team in Mario Strikers: Battle League Football is composed of four field players and a goalkeeper. The field players are determined by you, the goalkeeper always remains the same. The player selection is very important and should be well thought out.

The best team in Mario Strikers.

The team formation and character selection takes place immediately before a match. Here you have to occupy the four slots in your team one after the other. Each slot determines a character's position on the field. With the first slot you determine the captain and at the same time the striker of your team. Slot number two and three determine the two midfielders. The last slot determines your defender.

All character values explained

The playing style and efficiency of a character is determined by five character values: Power, Speed, Shooting, Passing and Technique. Special equipment can be used to further increase the character values. Select "Equipment" in the main menu to buy new items.

The character values at a glance:

  • Force: Determines how much force is used to execute a tackle. The higher the strength value, the more resistant the character is to a tackle.
  • Speed: Determines how fast a character runs.
  • Shot: Determines the hardness and speed of a shot.
  • Pass: Determines the passing speed and range of steep passes.
  • Technique: Determines the trajectory and precision of a shot and how well a character can dribble. In addition, a high technique value makes hypershoots easier to execute.

The best team in Mario Strikers: Battle League Football

Striker - Rosalina

By default, Rosalina has a very high shot value and thus an above-average goal probability. With the appropriate equipment, this value can be increased to the maximum.

Her good technique value makes it easier for her to break through a good defense. With the high power value, Rosalina can quickly regain possession of lost balls and tackle almost any character in the game.

Rosalina watches over the universe and is the adoptive mother of the Star Children.

Recommended equipment:

  • Cannon helmet: shot 2 / technique -2
  • Cannongloves: Shot 2 / Speed -2
  • Cannonvest: Shot 2 / Force -2
  • Cannonshoes: Shot 2 / Pass -2

Midfield - Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong is characterized by very high values in strength, shooting and passing out. This allows Donkey Kong to win most duels and serves as a link between defense and offense.

We strongly recommend you invest in the combo equipment to make Donkey Kong's passes even better. Donkey Kong is also a great way to score goals when Rosalina doesn't get a chance.

Donkey Kong is a muscular gorilla with a penchant for bananas.

Recommended equipment:

  • Combo helmet: Fit 2 / Speed -2
  • Combogloves: Fit 2 / Shot -2
  • Combovest: Fit 2 / Technique -2
  • Combo shoes: Fit 2 / Strength -2

Midfield - Toad

As in most other games in the Mario universe, Toad in Mario Strikers represents groundbreaking speed. You can even increase the speed value to the maximum by using the turbo equipment.

Toad is extremely nimble on the field and can help out in defense as well as prepare passes for Rosalina. A very good pass value ensures even faster passes and with his good technique value he can easily outmaneuver onrushing defenders.

Toad is among the fastest characters in Mario Strikers.

Recommended Equipment:

  • Turbo Helmet: Speed 2 / Technique -2
  • Turbo Gloves: Speed 2 / Strength -2
  • TurboVest: Speed 2 / Pass -2
  • Turbo shoes: Speed 2 / Shot -2

Defense - Waluigi

A good defender must be fast and have the appropriate assertiveness. Waluigi relies on high speed and strength values, which qualifies him perfectly for this role.

We recommend that you buy the turbo equipment to increase Waluigi's movement speed even more. Waluigi is a good defender, but can also help out in the midfield.

Waluigi is the arch rival of Mario.

Recommended equipment:

  • Turbo helmet: speed 2 / technique -2
  • Turbo Gloves: Speed 2 / Strength -2
  • TurboVest: Speed 2 / Pass -2
  • Turbo shoes: Speed 2 / Shot -2
