Super 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, players can attempt to land two white needles on a thin dark green area, which is surrounded by thicker, lighter green bands. Once the first needle lands on the dark green area If pulled off perfectly, 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 the second 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 Fence, or be momentarily stunned. Super Strikes do not appear in in Mario Strikers Charged. Instead, Mario Strikers Charged introduces a new kind of Super Strike called Mega Strike. Mega Strikes are more powerful Super Strikes in the game that can be worth up to six goals.

Mario - Fire 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.

Luigi - Vicious Vortex
Vicious Vortex is Luigi's Super Strike. Luigi hops in the air and then he makes a karate pose while is surrounded by a bright green vortex in the background. Luigi then kicks the ball fiercely into the goal, turning it into a green fireball that goes straight to the target, the goal.

Wario - Belly Blast
Belly Blast is Wario's Super Strike. Wario hops to the air and stretches his arm while the background becomes purple and lightnings surround him. Wario uses his stomach then to shoot the soccer ball towards the goal leaving a trail of electricity contained on the ball.

Waluigi - Drop Rocket
Drop Rocket is Waluigi's Super Strike. After kicking the ball into the air, Waluigi makes a karate pose while he is surrounded by a purple nebulous halo. He then kicks the ball with both of his feet and then retreats while the ball bolts to the goal leaving behind a nebulous trail.

The Super Team does a Super Strike that is similar to the Drop Rocket, since the Robotic Nightmare is modeled after Waluigi.

Princess Peach - Royal Strike

Super Team - Robo-Strike
The  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.
