'''''Super Mario Spikers''''' is the name of a cancelled volleyball-wrestling hybrid game that was to be developed by [[Next Level Games]], the same studio that created ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' for the [[Wii]].

The game was conceived after the release of ''Mario Strikers Charged'' and would be made for the Wii. ''Super Mario Spikers'' would be a sports game whose concept would be a mixture of volleyball and wrestling. No further information about the game has been revealed other than a short animation test where [[Waluigi]] can be seen jumping on [[Mario]], who is laying on his back, and then leaping to hit a ball. Next Level Games tried to combine their knowledge from their previous Mario football games with their experience about wrestling which they had from the cancelled WWE: Titans (Xbox/PS2, THQ). It is worth mentioning that in the animation test, Mario wears an outfit heavily based on those used by the characters in the ''Mario Strikers'' series.

The reason for the cancellation is that the game clashed with Nintendo's code of honor, and production of the game stopped in 2007. Next Level Games proceeded to develop another [[Nintendo]] game, [[Punch Out (Wii)|''Punch-Out!!'']].
