'''''Super Mario Strikers''''' (known as '''''Mario Smash Football''''' in European languages) is the first game in the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' series. The game features a version of soccer without referees and rules, and has power-ups and special strikes which count as two goals. Its sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', was released for the [[Wii]] in 2007.

==Opening cutscene==

The [[Super Strike]] is a special ability of the team's captain. By performing it, the player can take a high-powered shot at the goal; if they score with a Super Strike, it counts as two goals instead of one.

===Difficulties===

There are four difficulty settings. The higher the difficulty is set, the more the passing, deking, and Super Strike skills of the CPU increase:

*'''Professional:''' An easy level. CPU will make some unexpected maneuvers, such as dekes and Super Strikes.

*'''Superstar:''' Hard. The CPU takes the ball, and tries to make a goal. Also, the CPU can rumble the player's Super Strike meter to attempt throwing the player off.

*'''Legend:''' Very hard. CPU can try to steal the ball and attack the player. If it has the ball, it can make dekes as soon as the player attempts to attack it. The CPU also attempts Perfect Strikes. It can rumble the player's Super Strike meter to attempt throwing the player off.

==Game Modes==

===Infinite ball shots===

This glitch can appear during matches. A character must hold the soccer ball and go to the opponent's field. If the player shoots the ball towards the goalie without charging and is hit by a [[Blue Shell]] and frozen at the same time<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnLAbZNOD_k&feature=plcp Blue Shell Glitch]</ref>, the ball will remain stuck on their feet, but keeps emitting the purple rings caused by the kick while the victim is frozen. Because of that, the goalie responds to block the shot, repeatedly lunging and falling in an attempt to get the ball. In this state, the Ball cannot be taken by the other characters; the glitch wears off once the victim is unfrozen and shoots the ball normally.

===Imperfect Strike===

As a consequence, both the player's own and their rival's teams will remain unable to move; not only that, but the camera will also be stuck on a different angle while still focusing on the ball. The only character the player can unfreeze during this glitch is their rival's Kritter goalkeeper; to do so, they have to fail a Super Strike, so the Kritter can either catch it or throw it back; both of these actions will allow the Kritter to move again. To fully disable the glitch, the player has to score a goal so the screen displays the celebration and the replay; after that, all characters will be able to move again.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybdnA9QkMtY "Mario super strikers funniest glitch ever!!" from Blue Pianta Rules!!!].
