Best Controllers to Use

Pro Controller is the Most Comfortable to Use

Mario Strikers Battle League - Pro Controller
Pro Controller is probably the best one you can use for the game. It provides a grip that is better than the Joy Controllers, making it easier for you to control your characters. Additionally, the buttons' size makes them easier to press.

Dual-Controller Grip is Easy to Use

Dual-Controller Grip provides a better experience for players than using other Joy Controller setups, as they need some other movement and may delay the desired action, like Dodging for example. It allows you to play on a large screen as well if needed!

The only drawback of this controller setup is the playability time because of its battery and the smallness of the grip and buttons that will lead to straining your hand.

Single Joy Cons are Better for Multiplayer Only

Single Joy-Cons are best when playing local or online multiplayer with friends only. They are not the best controller to use if you want to take on this game competitively, since their small size can lead to cramped hands.

Handheld Mode is for Single Player Only

The default, handheld mode, is probably average at best when using it to play the game. Its strong points are its convenience, and you can see a better look around the screen. Its down points come to its heaviness that may tire players after a couple of hours of play and its battery life.
