Can You Change the Controller Buttons?

Using Nintendo Switch's Button Mapping

Mario Strikers: Battle League - Change Controls
You cannot change the controller buttons in-game, but it is possible if you tweak the Nintendo Switch's controls directly. Go to Settings and find Controllers and Sensors to change the button mapping.

How to Change Button Mapping

  1. From the Home screen, open up System Settings.
  2. Go down to Controllers and Sensors, and select Change Button Mapping.
  3. Select the controller you wish to remap.

    This is only compatible with Joy-Con Controllers, Pro Controllers, and the Nintendo Switch Lite.

  4. Remap the buttons inputs you need and you can save it as a preset.

Recommended Controllers

Pro Controller for Comfort

Mario Strikers Battle League - Pro Controller

It is highly recommended to play Mario Strikers: Battle League on a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller especially if you plan on gaming for long periods of time due to its ergonomics compared to the Joy-Cons, both solo or on the dual-controller grip.

Solo Joy-Con for Local Multiplayer

Mario Strikers Battle League - Solo Horizontal Grip

The best way to play with your friends is by using solo Joy-Cons per person. As each Switch comes with two Joy-Cons, this allows you to include as amny people as possible while reducing the amount of extra controllers.
The only downside is that it's not the most comfortable way of playing the game, especially if you plan on doing competitive matches.
