Muscle Cup is a Cup Battle where all CPU teams are the best at Strength in Mario Strikers: Battle League. Read on to learn which team is the best for this cup, the best gear and tips, list of rewards, and how to beat the cup in Normal and Galactic Mode!
Position | Character | Role |
---|---|---|
Rosalina | Goal-Getter ・Strong Shooting ability ・Easy to make curved shots with |
|
Donkey Kong | Big-Man Passer ・High Strength and Passing ・Big frame improves his defensive range |
|
Waluigi | Nimble Defender ・High Strength and Speed ・Good for getting the ball to Rosalina and quick tackles |
|
Bowser | Iron Defense ・High Strength stat ・Perfect for strong, clutch tackles |
Having a Strength-heavy team is ideal for this cup since most opponents are big, physical-type foes like Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Wario, all of which have good resistance to basic tackles.
It is recommended to have a team that's equally as strong to tackle the strong ones, while adding in agile players like Waluigi to move the ball around swiftly before passing it to Rosalina to take the shot.

The Muscle Cup teams are known for their hard-hitting tackles. Most teams consist of Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Wario, or other players that have Muscle Gear Sets equipped to them to further increase their Strength stat.
It is recommended to bring along equally powerful players alongside ones that are agile in order to dodge those gruesome attacks!

|
Rosalina | Hyper Strike Shooter ・High Technique for favorable Hyper Meter ・Technique Stat: 23 |

Having a team with a high Technique stat can help as well in order to improve the chances of hitting the blue areas of the Hyper Meter during Hyper Strikes, which will help with the success rate of the shot.

Many of your opponents in the Muscle Cup will be incredibly tanky and hard to take down. Your lower strength team members may need to fully charge their tackle meter before they can even touch the other team.
If possible, when trying to defend the goal or steal the ball, use your higher Strength teammates to tackle and pass the ball to your shooters afterwards.
Though most of your opponents are incredibly durable, many of them won't be very fast with the exception of a few. Instead of taking opponents head on, run away and dodge from them instead. There is a good chance that your character will outpace them as long as they have decent speed.
