Mario Strikers: Battle League is unlike your traditional football game. Here, the rules are bent a bit, where matches are highly physical due to tackles with kicks and punches, while goals are scored sometimes by throwing or spiking the ball.

However, the core principle of scoring goals remain the same, albeit done in a more extreme way.

How To Score Goals Effectively

Vary Your Shots to Score Goals More Easily

Yoshi Goal

There are multiple ways of scoring goals, all of which have their perfect situations of use. In order to take a shot, players must be at their opponent's side of the field before they press or hold the A Button.

Conversely, your goal to score points against opponents is their goal as well. Be sure to prevent enemies from scoring goals against you by tackling them, intercepting their passes, and blocking Hyper Strikes!

How to Defend Effectively

Equip Gear to Your Characters
