today's spin: super mario strikers

this is super mario strikers on gamecube and it is still the most chaotic mario sports game in my collection. it is soccer but nobody is playing nice about it. tackles send everyone flying, the ball moves so fast, and every match feels like it could fall apart in the best way.


i love how serious it takes itself for a game where mario is sliding into people on purpose. the stadiums are loud, the animations are dramatic, and the whole thing feels so different from the other mario sports games on the shelf.


do you have a copy of strikers in your collection or is gamecube one you missed growing up? tell me in the comments.


come back next week for the next spin.
