Mario Strikers: Charged (known as Mario Strikers Charged Football outside the US) is a Mario interpretation of soccer (known as football in other parts of the world). It is the sequel to Super Mario Strikers (GC). For those new to the series, Strikers was Nintendo’s experiment into the world of sports games. Strikers does for soccer what Mario Kart does with racing: simple game play with your favorite Nintendo characters. There are power ups and items you can toss at your opponents, you can charge up for a Mega Strike kick, and there are baddies like Thwomps that will block your shots

This edition features multiple stadiums with individual characteristics. One example is Thunder Island with gusting wind and lightning that will stun your players. The graphics are similar to those on the GameCube predecessor but now with more realistic crowds. The controls are also similar, with the analog stick on the nunchuk controlling your movement and the B button shooting the ball. New with the Wii game is the ability to swing the Wii-mote to attack players on the opposing team. The game will feature online multiplayer for single matches and complete tournaments.
