This article is about the power-based shot in Super Mario Strikers. For the volatile status effect in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story also known as "Super Strike", see KO.
Super Strike
A perfect Super Strike allows to the player to watch a momentary 360 degrees view of the character's Strike.

A Super Strike is a powerful soccer shot that only captains can perform in Super Mario Strikers and is worth two points, instead of one. By pressing B Button, players can attempt to land two white needles on a thin dark green area, which is surrounded by thicker, lighter green bands. If pulled off perfectly by having both needles land on the dark green zones, the strike becomes unstoppable, powerful enough to knock the goalie into the goal and instantly score. The Super Strike can still be successful if the timing is flawed; if the second white needle lands adjacent to the dark green zone, the Kritter will miss blocking the Super Strike, and the captain scores. If the Super Strike's timing is not perfect, Kritters can deflect Super Strikes back at the shooter, which can harm the shooter and possibly push the shooter into an electric rail, or be momentarily stunned.

Super Strikes do not appear in Mario Strikers Charged or Mario Strikers: Battle League. The former game introduces a new kind of Super Strike called Mega Strikes, more powerful Super Strikes that can be worth up to six goals, while the latter game introduces Hyper Strikes, which are mechanically similar to Super Strikes in that they're worth 2 points, but now require an orb in order to be activated.

Strikes[edit]

Mario - Fire Strike[edit]

Mario does his Super Strike

Fire Strike is a Super Strike that Mario has the ability to perform. Mario kicks the soccer ball to the air and jumps. Then he makes a pose and a fire halo appears around him. Mario then kicks the ball with force, turning it into a fireball that goes straight to the target, the goal.

If Mario does a perfect strike, part of the anthem from the Super Mario Strikers's intro movie can be heard when Mario is already kicking the ball.

A Robotic Nightmare, performing the Robo-Strike

The Robo-Strike is a conjectural term used to describe the unnamed Super Strike of all of the members of the Super Team. The strike looks similar to Waluigi's, and can be executed by any member of the Super Team, since the team has no captain. To pull off the strike, the Robotic Nightmare kicks the ball into the air and then surrounds itself with a yellow ring. Once the ring transforms into a circle, the robot kicks the ball into the goal.
