Super Mario Strikers

Super Mario Strikers is a soccer spinoff game from Next Level Games for the gamecube. You can play one of 8 playable Mario characters along with a set of 4 various lesser Mario characters and one Kritter as a goalie. It is wacky version of soccer complete with excessive tackling, extraordinary kicking abilities, power-ups and a electrified fencing. The game is up to 4 players so you can have the multiplayer mayhem 

There are 9 captains to choose from; Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, DK, Wario, Waluigi and secret captain to unlock. In addition,  you can choose your team to be made up of Toads, Birdos, Koopas or Hammer Bros.  Each of the characters has their own stats and area of expertise. Each captain has a superstrike also, performed when you fully charge a kick successfully and earns double points if it makes it in. The game is fairly challenging requiring use of the advanced techniques on higher difficulties. Bowser time brings a great random gamechanger in the middle of a match, as Bowser knocks out anyone who gets in his path enabling a side to a goal in the mayhem
