My favourite non-karting Mario sports title. And I don't even like football/soccer.
It's just so fast paced, chaotic and feels good to play.
It's full of personality too. Every single character you can choose to put on your team is different. You've got different stats obviously, something like 4 different categories, but each team captain has their own unique item, each sidekick has their own unique special shot, each character has different theme music that plays when they score a goal, and different dodge animations (which itself is different per character class, with some being more offensive, some being able to bypass the goalie with the right timing etc). It just really helps feel like every character you pick makes your team personalised to you, rather than just generic characters with a Mario skin.
My main issue is with the super strike mechanic. While this also plays into the idea of the game making each character unique, by giving them characteristic animations during the move, it is way too powerful and slows the game down every time it's used. I think it would have been fine if it was just limited to once per match, including the set-up screen, so that if you tried to use one at a bad time, you're out of luck. It'd add a lot more strategy and give it a huge risk-reward factor, while right now it's just no reward-reward.
Luckily you can turn Super Strikes off, along with many other things like stage gimmicks, via "cheats" you can unlock by doing challenges, or winning awards for things like most goals in a cup. These only work in standard vs mode however, so the regular single player "story" will have to be beaten without any help. Speaking of which...
The last cup in single player mode is pure BS. The AI so blatantly cheats to disgusting degrees. All 4 of the enemies team will act like fully controlled characters, esentially turning the game into a 1v4, this results in things like the opponent ALWAYS covering your characters, so that you'll never find the chance to use a super strike or power shot, or when a stage has a gimmick that can knock characters off, the AI team will be able to control all their players to dodge it while the characters on your team you're not in control of with just run into the hazard like a blind chicken. This cup also has extreme amounts of input reading.
Basically this game is a fantastic multiplayer game, and the single player is great for the first 2 cups, but the last cup is pure and utter shit. The challenge mode adds an extra bit of single player content for those looking to master the game and unlock more cheats/gameplay variables.

I really enjoyed how much personality each character can show off.
Maybe the weirdest Mario game because it actually aims for an aesthetic beyond.....well Mario fantasy. Plus its totally hype and a blast to play through tournaments. Such a fun game.
Mario Strikers Charged is best played in multiplayer, and things get absolutely chaotic if you play like my sisters and I where all you do is smash into your enemies at every chance you get. There are so many items, the soccer field is constantly blowing up, it's amazing.
rented from best buy when i was like 6 and i still haven't reached that high again
Next Level Games had the difficult task of doing the impossible: making an actual good soccer game. But luckily this game pwns so they did it.
great idea but the overpowered bonus powers ruin the game
take me back, life not shit anymore
i love the fact that nintendo look away when this game was approved
They made soccer interesting again
Remember this as one of the most fun things I played
The accordions that accompanied Wario's victory were a nice touch.
YESSIRRR
Melhor jogo de futebol que já joguei na vida? Melhor jogo de futebol que já joguei na vida.
Charged só possui o defeito de utilizar motion controls para o goleiro defender multi shot, que apesar de funcionar bem, não é 100%, frustrando algumas vezes pela falta de reconhecimento correto.

Petey Pirahna was playable in this, which bumps the grade up two stars.

Now, don't tell anyone, but I used to have a crush on the goalkeeper of this game for some reason.
wii version of bad robot game
I wish Nintendo would bring back a sequel for Nintendo Switch, but I doubt this will happen (update: lol).
Mario Strikers Charged is probably the darkest and most brutal Mario game, and exactly this makes it so outstanding.
However, it is (imo) still not even close to being comparable with bigger Mario games and the replayability factor wasn't too big for me back then.

Edgy Mario soccer is better than it has any right to be.
La de horas que habré jugado y seguiré sin cansarme.

Oh baby almost the same as the original gcn game but with some new stuff and fucking petey piranha, mf got swagger.
The online is kind of jank because of all of the broken cheesy strats that are commonplace for anyone playing the game competitively, but as a kid I actually got a ton of enjoyment out of the offline single player mode. Better than its predecessor
epic
We will never get a sequel to this game.
FUCK THIS IS MY FAVORITE MARIO SPORTS GAME. The art style, the grittiness, the characters, the wackiness, DAMN.
