Mario is a playable character in Mario Strikers: Battle League with high base stats in Technique and Shooting. Technique, his highest attribute, is the complex stat that affects shot accuracy, ball curve, dribbling capability, and the timing difficulty for Hyper Strike and perfect moves. Therefore, executing power shots and curve balls is no problem for the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario's Technique in Mario Strikers: Battle League is further complemented by his solid Shooting, the attribute determining the power of a shot and the ball's velocity. Hence, with 16 points in Technique and 14 points in Shooting, Mario excels in shot accuracy, Hyper Striking, and dribbling.
Like his younger brother Luigi, Mario's other base stats aren't necessarily low, making him a balanced character, capable of multiple strategical roles and team comps. In other words, it is not too challenging to fit him into a supportive or utility-based role in the field. However, since his Technique and Shooting are his most notable attributes, Mario best serves as the main scorer, the party member who focuses on scoring points for the team. Therefore, an ideal build and team comp would further enhance Mario's distinct capabilities for maximum performance.
If the player's team already has a high-Shooting character in Mario Strikers: Battle League, then it's recommended that they build Mario with a max Technique build. On the other hand, a full Cannon build for enhancing Shooting is also viable if no scorers are present on the team.
