To lessen the chances of your shots from being intercepted by your opponents, consider tackling nearby enemies before taking the shot.

This way, your scorer will be open to take the shot, only having to worry about the goalie and no one else.

Confuse the Goalie with Curved Shots

Taking advantage of curved shots can also be helpful as it can confuse the enemy AI to easily score a goal.

During a charged shot, use the left stick to aim and curve its path, which can be helpful especially if aimed opposite to the goalie's position.

Perform Aerial Charged Shots

Players can also take their shots up a notch by performing perfect lob passes followed by a charged shot. This will be much difficult to defend as compared to a regular shot.

Every character's Hyper Strike has varying effects toward enemy teams. For characters like Mario and Bowser, their Hyper Strikes can set opponents on fire. On the other hand, characters like Rosalina can freeze foes, including Boom Boom himself!

Taking advantage of the effects of Hyper Strikes can help ensure a goal, even when blocked initially.

How to Do a Hyper Strike

Use Items to Clear a Path

Items provide utility by removing defenders and clearing a path for players. With the number of items present in the game, using them at the right moment can help players score goals more effectively.
