Mario Strikers Charged is the sequel to Super Mario Strikers for the Nintendo GameCube. It is a multiplayer game for the Wii that uses Wi-Fi Connection. It features 12 Mario characters as captains and 8 characters as sidekicks for your team. It is known as Mario Strikers Charged Football in Europe & Australia and  Mario Power Soccer in South Korea.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very intense, and much of the game is very physical. The team consists of the captain, three sidekicks, and a goalie. Players must use teamwork to score a goal. A goal is scored when a Captain or Sidekick kicks the ball into the goal. However, the ball can be blocked by the Goalie, Kritter. Additionally, the ball can be stolen by the opposite team, by tackling and slide-tackling. Player is also able to use items to assist them in the game, which can be obtained by doing charge shots, or by being tackled when the player does not have possession of the ball. Another aspect of the game, is the Captains Mega Strike, which replaced the Super Strike from Super Mario Strikers. If done right, captains that performed the MegaStrike may be able to score six goals in one hit. Captains can also use a move known as the Super Ability, which can be used when they gets a special item (their own head). Sidekicks are able to perform a special tactic known as the Skillshot. This is a special tactic allows them to use a powered-up shot, that will have a better chance at scoring a goal.

There are also three modes of play: Domination Mode, Road to the Striker Cup and Striker Challenges. Domination Mode is a simple, pick-up-and-play option; Road to the Striker Cup is the longer, tournament- or single-player mode; and Striker Challenges is a series of missions or simple challenges designed to practice one's skills.

Overall, the visual style and graphics are similar to the GameCube version, though with improved gameplay.
