Play Against Teams of 4
In Mario Strikers: Battle League, each team consists of 4 players, with the one closest to the midfield is the Captain.
Planning out team compositions and formations is essential in order to make use of every member of your time to be effective offensively and defensively.
How Long are Matches?
The length of matches is locked to 4 minutes in Cup Battle Mode, but in Quick Battles, players can set the match length to 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, or even 10 minutes.
Score Goals Against Opponents

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
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.

Prevent Enemies from Scoring

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!
Equip Gear to Your Characters
Players are able to equip gear to their characters to increase their stats and attributes and be more effective on the field.
Gear are purchased from the Gear Settings menu using Coins obtained from Cup Battles and more!
Use Items to Your Advantage
Another area where Mario Strikers changes things up compared to classic football is by using items to have an edge against your opponents.
How to Get Items
Items can be obtained by touching ? Blocks or Question Mark Blocks that fall on the field.
Players can only touch rainbow-colored ? Blocks or ? Blocks that are the same color as their team!
Best Way to Practice
Play on Training Mode
Knowing the rules, players can sharpen their skills by going to Training Mode and try out all gameplay mechanics and use them to its full potential.
After getting more familiar with the rules and techniques, players can try to take on Cup Battle Mode and start winning matches!
