Introduction a. About the Author b. About the Game c. Characters +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | About the Author | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [101] Hi, what can I say? I'm Nick34. Codename for Mike. I am from Canada. I own a Nintendo DS, Nintendo Gameboy Advance and a Nintendo Gamecube. (NINTENDO NERD ALERT). I have contributed several files, heres a summary: Total Files Contributed: 8 (268KB) Complete FAQs/Guides Contributed: 3 Images Contributed: 3 Reviews Contributed: 5 (11KB) Codes Contributed: 54 Game Data Contributed: 2 Anyway, I play Soccer, and enjoy watching hockey. My Favorite Hockey Team is the Vancouver Canucks, and my favorite English Premier League team: Arsenal. My Favorite Game Series is "The Legend of Zelda", I also enjoy hanging out online at "Ushi No Tane" http://www.fogu.com/hmforum, and "Harvest Moon Evergreen" http://www.dhost.info/evergreen/forum (Harvest Moon Forums). My favorite band is My Chemical Romance and my favorite Artist is Billy Talent. If you haven't guessed already (my email). My favorite food is Kraft Dinner. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | About the Game | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [102] Super Mario Strikers is yet another installment in the Super Mario Series. For those who don't know, it is a soccer/football (Incase you are in the UK) game. There are a few differences to real soccer though.... - No rules, so no offsides, no penalties, no cards - No touchlines, but you can't bank it off of the walls - Walls are electricuted, so if you are hit into them: X_X - Just because there are no penalties, it doesn't mean you can charge goalies. Goalies will punch you away if you try. (First time I thought he was protected by an invisible barrier) Anyway, you choose a captain and a sidekick. The goal of the game is to score more goals than the opposition. Normal Goals give you one point and Super Strikes give you two. There are many modes of gameplay, cup, super cup, grudge and custom matches. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Characters | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [103] ***************** | Mario | ***************** Mario, Possibly the most well-known video game character of All-Time. His first game was a Donkey Kong game, where he had to save princesses from Donkey Kong. Eventually Donkey Kong left, and Pauline (the princess) left somewhere. Mario became a Plumber and found Mushroom Kingdom while working in the pipes. He then had to save Princess Peach. His nemesis is usually Bowser these days. ***************** | Luigi | ***************** Luigi, Mario's younger brother. Often Overshadowed by him. He is the tall and skinny shy one. I remember him back in Super Mario Bros. 2 as that guy who can jump higher than everyone. His big break came in Luigi's Mansion (which I am currently writing a Ghost FAQ for with hamstarz12). He saves Mario from the Boos. ***************** | Peach | ***************** Peach is the Princess of Mushroom Kingdom. She is constantly kidnapped by Bowser and needs a lot of saving by Mario. She somehow always invites Mario over for cake. She was the girl in Super Mario Bros. 2 who could float. ***************** | Daisy | ***************** Daisy is the Princess of Sarasaland. She is a tomboy. Mario saves her once, we know little about her. ***************** | Toad | ***************** Toads are the little men of mushroom kingdom. Toads help out Mario and Luigi whenever they can, like in Super Mario Bros. 2 or Luigi's Mansion. Also Super Mario 64. Toad is my favorite Character. In SM Strikers, they are sidekicks. ***************** | Wario | ***************** Wario is the "Evil Mario". He is a fat, yellow guy instead of the thin red guy we know. He has a few of his own games that I dont usually play. ***************** | Waluigi | ***************** Waluigi is the "Evil Luigi". ***************** | Super Team | ***************** This is bowsers team of robots. They can all do Super Strikes, very fast, very powerful. Not actually all that hard, but can be a doozy on Legend or World Class. ***************** | Yoshi | ***************** Yoshi is the trusty green guy. He has known Mario ever since he was a baby. Baby Mario fell off the stork taking him and Baby Luigi across the ocean. He found Yoshi Island and Yoshi took him across all the way back to Luigi. He has helped Mario and Luigi in a lot of games. ***************** | Birdo | ***************** The pink girl like things that shot eggs out of the mouth. A sidekick in SM Strikers. ***************** | Hammer Bros | ***************** Remember those guys who threw hammers around at you in the old mario days? They are here in Super Mario Strikers as a sidekick. ***************** | Koopa | ***************** The Koopa are bowser's people and sidekicks. They have shells, Mario used to stomp on them and shoot them at people. Koopa is a sidekick. *************** | Bowser | *************** Mario's current enemy, he is the Koopa king and kidnaps Peach a lot. In Super Mario Strikers, he appears and causes mayhem. *************** | Chain Chomp | *************** RUFF RUFF!! Bang bang bang... BONK!!! Chain Chomps are Dog-Like thinks that will hurt you if not careful. ******************************************************************************* ************************ Super Strikers 101 ************************ ******************************************************************************* [002] 1. Super Strikers 101 a. Controls b. Tactics c. Items +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Controls | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [201] WITH BALL A - Pass B - Shoot (hold to charge), Clear Ball (your side of the field) Y - Deke X - Use Power Up Z - Switch Power Up Item R - Sprint/Turbo Run (use with control stick) L - Lob Pass (With A), Lob Shot (With B) Control Stick - Move C-Stick - Deke WITHOUT BALL A - Change Character B - Slide Tackle Y - Big Hit X - Use Power Up Z - Switch Power Up Item R - Sprint/Turbo Run (use with control stick) Control Stick - Move C-Stick - Shake to mess up opponent super strikes GOALIE A - Pass (By throwing or Rolling) B - Clear Ball (Drop Kick) Control Stick - Move MENU A - Select Option B - Cancel to previous screen Control Stick - Change Option Control Pad - Change Option +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Tactics | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [202] ----------------- OFFENSIVE TACTICS ----------------- Passing Use constant passing to get by people and set up one timers. Use "A" to pass. One Timers Press "A" to pass and then "B" before the ball gets to the player to one time it. Super Strikes Press and hold "B" when your captain has the ball. Now press "B" when the white bit enters the solid green. Another will appear, so do the same. If you get them perfectly, you will perform a "Monster strike". Impossible to miss, for even if the goalie saves it, he will get blown into the net! You get two points for a successful super strike goal. Curve/Lob Shots Hold "L" and Press "B" to take a shot over a goalie. Better to take from a distance, because the goalie will be away from his net to cut down the angle. To do curve shots you have to press left or right when charging with B, when it shoots, the wall will curve depending on the position the stick was pressed. Even though like 10% of the time the ball might curve to the opposite direction the stick is held. Curve shots never stun the goalie unless you are very near to him. Deke Use the C-Stick or the "Y" button to fake a player out. Also you can slip a goalie trying to dive out at the ball, then shoot. Turbo Run This is very handy in getting into the enemy zone quickly. But you will be very prone to hits and tackles. Headers, Bicycle and Scissor Kicks Cross the ball with "L+A", then press "B" to head/bicycle/scissor kick the ball. Quite effective, but sometimes the cross won't get through. Faking Shots Hold "B" then press "A" when still holding it to do a nice little fake shot. Doesn't work 100% against CPUs, but against human opponents... ----------------- DEFENSIVE TACTICS ----------------- Sliding Tackles Press "B" to do a sliding tackle. If you hit from behind you will be out of commission as well. Big Hit The easiest way to stop opponents, blow the crap outta them. Just "BAM", it can stop super strikes, one timers. Blocking Shots Stand in front of the ball and let it hit your guy, it might put him out of commission for a bit, but its one shot less than you want. Clearing the Ball Press "B" when the ball is in your zone to clear, use when there is heavy pressure on in your zone. Turbo Run Use to sprint back to stop players ahead of you. --------------- SCORING TACTICS --------------- Here are just some ways I score. ========= =Headers= ========= Move away from the net, then cross it so the ball ends up in the middle. Send it home. ============ =Breakaways= ============ Move in, when you can see the goalie, he should be near the edge of his crease. So try and loft it over or around him. ==================================== =Forcing the Goalie out of position= ==================================== Start near the end boards, move out into the center area of the crease and shoot, the goalie is hopefully out of position. Alternately, move through the crease, when the goalie comes out, pull a deke. Then shoot quickly. The other way is a one timer with a pass through the goal crease. LennyBX8 Sent the following in: ============= Charged Shots ============= Try to shot charged shots with your sidekicks in front of the goalie without curving it, thet shot will most likely stun the goalie giving the chance for a fast shot. ============= Super Strikes ============= If you have a Bomb (Any combination), Red Shells (X3), 5 Bananas, Chomp or Star, get your Captain, start charging your super strike, if any opponent gets near, shoot one of the items named before while still charging, they will hit everyone near you but you, leaving you time to get a clean Super Strike. (NOTE: Never use a star before charging a Super Strike because the effect stops before you fully charge and you'll get hit, you need to start charging until its imminent you'll get hit to use it.) NotNutty01 Sent the following in: Step One: Run into a corner while you have the ball to get goalie out of postition. Step Two: Lob pass in-front of the net. Step Three: One time shot to the oppostite side of where the ball came from. ------------------ IN BETWEEN TACTICS ------------------ Power Ups If you have had players hit when they do not have the ball, you get a powerup. Powerups are very handy. They can all be used defensively and offensivley. Some will freeze opponents with the ball, some will give you time to shoot, others will allow you to speed up and check someone, or allow you to speed up on the breakaway. You'll learn more in the next section. Power Ups Tip: You can still shoot items even if you are on the floor after a Big Hit or not hard item like Bananas, the only time you cannot use them is when stunned (stars on your head). +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Items | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [203] These come to you if you have players who have been hit without the ball. Which you shouldn't do, unless you have a major problem. Such as one-timer stopping or taking players out coming for crosses. Mushrooms Bananas (x3) Green Shells (x3) Red Shells (x3) Blue Shells (x3) Green Shell Red Shell Blue Shell Bob-Ombs Chain Chomp Star =-=-=-=-=-=-= | Mushrooms | =-=-=-=-=-=-= Mushrooms will speed you up. Defensive Use: Getting back in time to thwart someone Offensive Use: Break out of checks =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Bananas (x3)| =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Bananas will sit there and people will slip on them Defensive Use: Place in enemy populated areas in your zone Offensive Use: Set Traps for those following you =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Green Shells (x3) | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= They shoot out and begin to fan in different directions. Defensive Use: Shoot them at people running down the boards. Offensive Use: Use to give time for a captain to use a Super Strike. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Red Shells (x3) | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Red Shells are similar to green shells, only they will home in on an opponent. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Blue Shells (x3)| =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Blues shells are like red + green shells. Only they will freeze on impact. They dont home in as red shells, however. Defensive Use: Take players out of the play to be able to defend easily. Offensive Use: Get more players open for passes by freezing their checks. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Green Shell | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Same as the other Green Shell, only this one is HUGE and will bounce off of walls. There is only one, not 3. =-=-=-=-=-=-= | Red Shell | =-=-=-=-=-=-= Huge Homing shell. WOOSH! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Blue Shell | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= They simply freeze people on its path, and sometimes explode like bob- ombs stunning the guys that get hit with it, they dont home on opponents. =-=-=-=-=-=-= | Bob-Ombs | =-=-=-=-=-=-= Bob-Ombs come in 5, 3, or 1. You can chuck them at people for explosion. Defensive Use: BOOOM Offensive Use: BOOOM, SCORES! Interesting Trivia: Characters hit by this will be charred the whole match. More Interesting Trivia: I had waffles for breakfast. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Chain Chomp | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chain Chomps are the ultimate disaster, I don't wanna think how many times you hit opponents without the ball to give them this. If they do, watch out! The Chain Chomp follows every player on the opposition. Until it leaves. Offensive & Defensive Use: This thing will beat the **** outta them. =-=-=-=-= | Star | =-=-=-=-= Stars make you invincible for a short amount of time. Very useful. Offensive Use: Just use it for super strikes, protection from powerups, basically anything. Defensive Use: Use to run the ball away from opponents with no fear. ******************************************************************************* ************************ Gameplay ************************ ******************************************************************************* [003] 3. Gameplay a. Grudge Match b. Cup Match c. Super Cup Match d. Custom Match +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Grudge Match | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [301] Grudge Matches are how they sound, you pick the teams (unless you have a human player), the Arena and you play your game. Good for practicing on difficult modes. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Cup Match | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [302] Table Ranked= Ranked on a table, most points win Playoff Ranked= Whoever wins the knockout rounds Cup Match, you have four cups to complete. Most of which are ranked on a table. So you just have to win the most points (3 for a win, one for an Overtime loss and none for a loss). But the Bowser Cup is different. You have to play a bunch of rounds. Then the top four teams go to an elimination round. Winner of that plays Bowser's Super Team. Mushroom Cup: 4 Teams, 3 Rounds, Table Ranked Flower Cup: 6 Teams, 5 Rounds, Table Ranked Star Cup: 8 Teams, 7 Rounds, Table Ranked Bowser Cup: 8 Teams, 7 Rounds, 2 Knockout Rounds, Playoff Ranked +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Super Cup Match | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [303] Unlocked by winning the Bowser Cup. Super Cup Match is not for newbies. I'd suggest practicing on Professional before attempting this. For rookie is out of the question. Winning the Super Cup Battles Unlock Cheats. Anyway, have fun with this advanced mode. Super Mushroom Cup: 4 Teams, 6 Rounds, Table Ranked Super Flower Cup: 6 Teams, 10 Rounds, Table Ranked Super Star Cup: 8 Teams, 14 Rounds, Table Ranked Super Bowser Cup: 8 Teams, 14 Rounds, 2 Knockout Rounds, Playoff Ranked +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Custom Match | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [304] Custom matches allow you to set up tournaments your own way. You pick teams, rules, rounds, the works. Great for parties. Look into the future about this, you may see something special (wink, hint hint). That is, if I get off my lazy @ss. ******************************************************************************* ************************ Unlockables ************************ ******************************************************************************* [004] 4.
