I don't see what the fuss is about. Now, if we were talking Olympic-style volleyball, then maybe I'd have an issue (or two!).

BTW, I've been loving all the Mario Strikers art I've seen recently. Who's responsible, and how do we alert Sonic Team about using this for a Sonic Battle 2?

Its hardly Dead Or Alive Beach Volleybal here. But its strange. That Peach is attracted to Mario of course. 😛

Anyways Games Master has the Mario Smash Football review:

Its bascially Sega Soccer Slam. Their main gripe is that there arent a lot of the big names in Mario involved. Also you pick your character and the team is Toads, Klaptraps etc.
Overall 58%

Also I do like the art for both Mario Football and Sonic Battle. The Sonic Battle Artwork + Mario Football scratchy-ness = Cool.

I partically enjoy the scratchy artwork and this is game I'm getting since I like soccer. Any one happen to stumble upon a Luigi artwork from the soccer game. I saw a only a headshot and I've been desperately searching for the whole deal.

Sod your horemone driven point of view, the art-style of this game is making me froth in the mouth. As I mentioned in IM, the boxart alone makes me want the game, lord knows that when Transformers the Movie used scribbley shaded boxart I repurchased it just to own the most badass pic ever.

If I can't find a poster, I'll settle for the game itself

Seriously, that is the best box-art. EVER. Undoubtably.

Hmmm...that games looks pretty cool.
I don't usually go for soccer games because...I just don't. *shrugs* But this one seems quite good, not to mention I love mario games! ^^
But yeah, I should be getting this game if I play my cards right with certain people in the house

I'm STILL waiting for Mario Curling! *taps foot impatiently*

But, seriously though, it looks pretty good. I lurve the art and the box art is amazingly jaw dropping. I don't own a Gamecube, nor do my parents ever buy me anything, so I weep. ;.;

I like the art style for this game.

That is all.

It's like Shig made his artist draw it while wearing a helmet full of bees.

liek OMG softcore pr0n.

I like it, it's a much better look for Peach and Daisy. Oh, and the rest of the Mario crew. >>

But, yeah, DOAXBV is still No. 1 on my list. 'Cause of teh bounceys.

I absolutely love the art style, especially on Peach and Daisy, plus Wario looks awesome. Like Craig said, I'd by this game for the artwork alone.

I may try to mimic the style just for the fun of it, or just draw some Mario characters anyway. ^_^

Agreed - the artwork is wonderful!

Just one thing though...how the heck is Peach supposed to head the ball with that crown on?

Peach: Nnnnyah! *headbutt*

*ball asplode*

I wish I had this game. I played the game at stores and some of the music is funny.

"Your head asplode"

...

Mario's looking particularly violent on the box, dontcha think? I guess it's appropriate for a sport whose fans routinely attack each other after games, though...

*wearing newcastle scarf*
HEY! football fans are not violent *stabs you with a broken bottle*

see, that proved it, I don't like football at all. however I am tempted to get this game after seeing a trailer in a game shop I was in.

This game just gets a HUGE boost of respect from me. The UK version is called Mario Smash Football, rather than Soccer or Strikers.

Localisation for the win! 😀

What's more, gameplay footage suggests it takes the Shaolin Soccer approach.
I begin to care.
