Super Mario Strikers, known as Mario Smash Football in Europe and Australia, is a five-a-side soccer game with a sequel, Mario Strikers Charged. The game's developers had worked on the NHL series before development of Strikers, which served as an influence for the fast-paced and physical nature of the game.

Strikers is a sports game game incorporating characters and themes from the Mario series. The game features the basic aspects and objectives of a soccer game, although no referees are present and characters can legitimately shove others out of possession of the ball. As in other games such as Mario Power Tennis, the player can use Mario-themed items such as bananas and red shells to hinder the opposition and gain the advantage. Each team's captain can also use "Super Strikes" that, if timed accurately, will result in two points scored for the striker's team. Each team comprises a goal keeper, a main Mario character (captain), and three of the same secondary Mario characters known as "side kicks".
