Introduction by SmartSE

Reflinks will help you to turn bare urls into templated references, hopefully leaving you more time to write and reducing link rot caused by bare urls. The tool visits each webpage that is in a bare reference and collects the page title and some other information automatically, the tool has to be checked over manually to make sure that the references are filled in correctly by the tool. You may have to remove some extra information from the template and add extra details if the tool is not able to find it for you. Some links may be marked as dead links incorrectly as the site blocks the tool, you may wish to manually check these dead links before adding the dead link tag to the article. The tool also does a few other minor maintenance tasks.

'''''Mario Strikers Charged''''', known in Europe and Australia as '''''Mario Strikers Charged Football''''',<ref name="strikerseurodate">{{cite web|url=http://www.nintendo-europe.com/NOE/en/GB/news/article.do?elementId=eFA8gFwMd9RQtGKMyr4DW6LGuRPeF8Ms|title=Get ready for kick off!|accessdate=2007-05-22|publisher=Nintendo of Europe}}</ref> is a [[sports game|sports]] video game developed by [[Canada|Canadian]] developer [[Next Level Games]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Wii]]. This game was announced at the 2006 [[Games Convention]] in [[Leipzig]], [[Germany]] as the sequel to ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It was released on May 25,  2007 in [[Europe]], June 7, 2007 in [[Australia]] and July 30, 2007 in [[North America]].

The game supports the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], through which players can participate in online matches and tournaments. Upon its European release, it became the first Wii online game to be available outside of [[Japan]]. It was also the first ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' game released on the Wii and the first ''Mario'' game to be given a rating higher than E by the [[Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]].{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}

==Gameplay==
[[File:MSC Bob-omb.jpg|thumb|left|A match between [[Mario]] and [[Wario]] with the score tied.]]
The gameplay of ''Mario Strikers Charged'' is similar to that of the [[Super Mario Strikers|original game]], with characters fighting for possession of a metallic ball played on several [[Football pitch|pitch]]es. As well as differing aesthetically, most pitches feature physical elements that affect play; players must use precision and accurate timing to overcome them. The most powerful shot possible is the "Mega Strike", which only the captain can perform and accounts for a varying number of points ranging from three to six. In addition, sidekicks are able to perform a special shot—known as a "Skillshot"—that occurs if sufficiently charged and results in the character releasing a shot that is either able to paralyse or bypass the goalkeeper. Defensively, characters not in possession can hit others with or without the ball, although doing so to others without it will give the opposing team an item.

The power-up system returns from other ''Mario'' sports titles. The player can use these items—red shells, bananas, etc.—to impede the opponent and gain an advantage. Some power-ups aid the player by immobilising and hindering the opponent, while others grant temporary invulnerability and allow the user to score a goal more easily. A "Super Ability" item has been implemented into the game, which only the captain can use and grants unique abilities; notably, some like Mario and Luigi will grow to immense size, while others such as Donkey Kong will impede other characters in a large radius.

''Strikers'' features multiple gameplay modes, such as the "Domination Mode", in which the player faces an opponent of the player's choosing. They can also adjust match settings to limit or expand the match time or number of goals which are necessary for victory. The player can also play through "Striker Challenges", where they select a session with certain obstructions, such as missing characters or a susceptible goalkeeper. If they are successful in passing, they are given further adjustments called "cheats", that can render shooting easier and turn off physical elements of the fields in the game. Training sessions appear in the form of "Strikers 101", where the player can practice individual aspects such as shooting and tackling. "Road to the Striker Cup" allows the player to compete in matches [[game artificial intelligence|against the computer]] to gain rewards. The player can also partake in online matches with others around the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cubed3.com/news/7364|title=Mario Strikers Wi-Fi & Gameplay Video|date=2007-04-23|publisher=Cubed3}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2007/04/23/new-mario-strikers-charged-info/|title=New Mario Strikers Charged Info|accessdate=2007-05-22|date=2007-04-23|publisher=4 Color Rebellion}}</ref>

===Characters===
There are a total of 12 captains and 8 sidekicks to choose from to form a five-player team, which consists of a captain, three sidekicks, and a [[goalie]]. All characters, except for the goalies, are separated into 5 categories: Balanced (balanced in all areas), Playmaker (speedy with good passing ability), Power (good shooting and defensive ability), Offensive (good shooting and passing ability), and Defensive (speedy with good defensive ability). A team may consist of any combination of different sidekicks (e.g. 2 [[Koopa Troopa]]s and a Shy Guy). [[List of Donkey Kong characters#Kritters|Kritters]] appear as goalies and can be controlled to stop the opponent's Mega Strike.

[[Edge (magazine)|Edge]] magazine was concerned about the overwhelming power of the Mega Strike feature, also citing "The eventful, minute-long matches and frantic to-and-fro make Mario Strikers a suitable curtain-raiser for online gaming on the Wii, but a balanced and deep extreme sports game this is not.", giving it 6/10. [[IGN]] UK gave the game an 8.7 out of 10 and an editor's choice award.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/790/790253p3.html|publisher=IGN|title=Mario Strikers Charged Football UK Review|author=Matt Wales|accessdate=2007-05-30}}</ref> UK based website [http://www.mansized.co.uk/reviews/review.phtml/589/716/ Mansized] scored ''Mario Strikers Charged'' a full 5 out of 5 stars, particularly praising the game's enjoyable multiplayer options.

However, he criticises it for its "lack of options, being shallow and its lightweight single player".<ref>{{cite journal|last=Shavez|first=Rico|date=August 2007|title=Mario Strikers: Charged Football|journal=[[Hyper (magazine)|Hyper]]|publisher=[[Next Media]]|issue=166|page=64|issn=1320-7458}}</ref>

GameTap stated "The reason why it’s not fun at times isn’t because it doesn’t replicate the craziness--but rather that the AI becomes so incredibly cheap in the later tournaments and that there really isn’t much to the overall game aside from just beating the crap out of everyone to make way for a shot on goal", giving the game 7/10.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.metacritic.com/publication/gametap?filter=games&page=4 | title=GameTap Profile at Metacritic.com | accessdate=January 27, 2010}} The [http://www.gametap.com/home/read/article/8a25090114bc79790114bdf4dd781431 original GameTap review] is no longer available.</ref>

GamingTarget gave the game 7/10,citing: "To sum things up, ''Mario Strikers Charged'' is a fun, yet brutal anti-soccer game for all ages, but unfortunately the graphics leave something to be desired".

[[GameTrailers]] gave the game 7.4/10 citing the game was the first great Wi-fi game for Wii in America.

''[[Nintendo Power]]'' gave the US edition 8.5 out of 10, criticizing the limited single player modes while praising its online and offline multiplayer capabilities.
