Mario Strikers Legends

Mario Strikers Legends, also known as Super Mario Strikers 3 in Japan, is the 3rd installment in the Mario Strikers series and the first on a handheld, the Nintendo 3DS.
==Gameplay==
The game features more gameplay styles then ever. Of course classic gameplay is optional, but new is the gameplay with chance spots, like in Mario Tennis Open. In this mode, you can charge the ball by standing into a chance spot. However, a kind of chance spot isn't linked with a specific button, it's always the B button. These are the spots:
-: Causes a very powerful shot, which is very hard to block for the goalie. If a player is hit, it will be damaged.
-: Lets you shoot the ball in a wide curve.
-: Lets you do a very tricky lobshot.
-: Your character will jump in the air and perform a Super Strike. This is a very powerful move which will let your character jump and shoot 3 balls at the same time.
When a Super Strike is performed, the player can stop the balls as their goalie using the Touch Screen.

==Modes==
===Tournament: Road to Victory===
In this mode the player will take part of a tournament. There are several cups, but you'll have to unlock them by completing the previous one. A tournament always consists of a few preliminary rounds (depending on the cup), the quarterfinals, semi-finals and the final against the defending champion (this character is unlocked after beating it).
===Exhibition===
Players can play single matches with custom settings. It's also optional to use cheats in this mode.
====New options====
Players are now able to select a gameplay style. Also, two new modes are added in the Exhibition mode, which will only let you play with your captain (the sidekicks are CPU's), or a special Goalie-mode, which will let you play as your goalie. Here, the player has to use the Touch Screen to keep.
===Challenges===
Challenges return, where you have to get out of oppressive situations. Every captain has one.
===Local Play===
Play matches with your friends via StreetPass or Download Play. Choose between Coöp or VS. However, using Download Play, only the Default characters and stages can be choosen.
===Online===
Online mode is completely like exhibition mode, but it will let you play against or with other players via the internet.
===Tutorials===
In this mode the player can learn the rules and controls of the game. There is a total of 12 lessons.
==Captains==
Mario Strikers Legends will include 16 captains, 9 starters and 7 unlockables. Captains are the only team members who can perform the Super Strike move, which will let them shoot 3 balls. Each captain has its own theme and a Special Abillity, returning from Mario Strikers Charged.
