A respectable 78 average that never found its audience. Sports, but make it a video game: fantasy, party, tight controls, endless "run it back" potential. Play it solo first. The multiplayer will still be there when you're done. A 2005 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.

About this game

Super Mario Strikers is the first game in the Mario Strikers series, it features a version of soccer without referees and rules and has power-ups and special strikes which count as two goals. In comparison to actual soccer, the game features a smaller version of the soccer field and each team has only five members instead of the usual eleven-a-side rule. The match time can be manually set from 2 to 15 minutes but is defined as 5 minutes by default. If time runs out when scores are level, a Sudden Death follows the regular game time where next goal wins.
