Tier List Criteria

Utility and Ease of Use
For this list, we took into consideration how easy it would be to perform a Hyper Strike for each character as well as the utility it provides post-Hyper Strike. Each Hyper Strike has a different effect on opponents and Boom Boom so how it affects them is something worth considering.

List of All Hyper Strikes

Mario - Fire Cyclone

Description	Mario jumps high into the air and bicycle kicks the ball towards the goal, forming a fiery cyclone that burns opponents caught in its path.
Tier List Explanation	S-Tier Mario's high Technique makes the Hyper Strike meter more manageable so allowing him to perform Fire Cyclone is a safe choice. Should the Hyper Strike miss, your opponents will still be running around so take the chance and get a quick goal in.

Luigi - Spin Tornado

Description	Luigi spins around multiple times before kicking the ball, creating a giant green tornado. Any opponents near the tornado will be sucked in and become unable to move for a short time.
Tier List Explanation	A-Tier As the character with the highest base Technique, Luigi's Hyper Strike is easier to hit than the others. That being said, the tornado goes by fairly slow so opponents can easily get out of the way to avoid getting sucked in.

Peach - Dance of Hearts

Description	The ball travels in a heart-shaped direction as it heads toward the goal, and can charm enemies caught on the path, preventing them from moving temporarily. If Boom Boom gets charmed, he will throw the ball to the goal.
Tier List Explanation	S-Tier Peach's high Technique gives players an easier time getting good timings on the Hyper Strike meter. While there's a chance opponents won't get him by the charm, the possibility of hitting everyone on the enemy team provides a great opportunity for an open goal if Dance of Hearts misses. There's also a chance Boom Boom will put the ball in the goal for you.

Toad - Drill Smash

Description	Toad is launched upwards by other Toads and headbutts the ball with such a great force that it travels under the field, stunning nearby opponents as it heads towards the goal.
Tier List Explanation	C-Tier Toad is on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of Technique so getting a guaranteed Hyper Strike can be a bit harder. Drill Smash hitting in front of Toad makes its direction predictable and players can sidestep this to avoid getting stunned.

Bowser - Flame Cannon

Description	Bowser grabs the ball and sets it on fire with his Flame Breath. He then hurls it towards the goal, setting any opponents caught in path on fire.
Tier List Explanation	B-Tier Bowser's low Technique can make it harder to land a successful Flame Cannon but enemies caught in the path of fire will spread out. This allows players to follow up for a quick goal.

Donkey Kong - Banana Blast

Description	Donkey Kong jumps high in the air and spikes the ball, turning it into a banana. The ball knocks enemies back and travels in a 'banana-like' arc as it heads towards the goal.
Tier List Explanation	A-Tier The aftermath of Banana Blast opens up the field to your team by pushing back enemies. This gives players an opportunity to score a goal if Boom Boom blocks the Hyper Strike.

Yoshi - Egg Stomp

Description	Yoshi swallows the ball turning it into a giant egg, launches it in the air, and then slams down on it with its tail. The egg bounces multiple times and stuns nearby opponents as it heads towards the goal.
Tier List Explanation	B-Tier The combination of low Technique and Egg Stomp's predictable path makes Yoshi not one of the premier choices when shooting a Hyper Strike. Still, successfully hitting opponents will definitely make for an easier goal if the Hyper Strike misses.

Rosalina - Orbital Burst

Description	Rosalina kicks the ball to an icy planet and then kicks it towards the goal. The icy trail that it leaves can slow down the movement of opponents and even freeze Boom Boom.
Tier List Explanation	S-Tier Rosalina's Hyper Strike ends with a trail of ice that freezes opponents in place allowing for an unguarded goal should Orbital Burst miss. Rosalina's decent Technique and the utility Orbital Burst provides makes this one of the best Hyper Strikes you can perform.

Wario - Electric Ricochet

Description	Wario electrifies the ball as it bounces off walls before heading towards the goal, electrifying any opponent caught in its path.
Tier List Explanation	C-Tier Electric Richochet's trajectory is fairly random so players will most definitely have to always hit their timings on the Hyper Strike meter. Wario's low Technique is another aspect to consider as this will make it harder to get successful Hyper Strikes.

Waluigi - Thorn Barrier

Description	Waluigi shoots the ball and leaves a trail of thorns behind as it heads toward the goal, which can bind foes including Boom Boom and prevent him from blocking the ball.
Tier List Explanation	A-Tier Thorn Barrier ends with Boom Boom getting caught up in thorns so missing a Hyper Strike allows to get an uncontested goal in. Waluigi's base Technique is decent and can help with the Hyper Strike meter for a better success rate.
