Mario Strikers: Battle League – Characters, Stadiums, DLC, Gear, and Unlockables

Our Mario Strikers: Battle League unlockables guide details how to get every character, unlock stadium upgrades, and reveal all secrets.

Mario Strikers: Battle League features five on five soccer gameplay with a host of different playable characters, including newcomer Rosalina. Items like Green Shells and Giant Bananas can be used against enemy teams, and don’t forget, you can get rough and slam right into opponents to get ahold of the ball. Hyper Shots are character specific special shots that blast the ball towards the goal, but they also provide an extra effect dependent on the character. After over a decade since Mario Strikers: Charged released on the Nintendo Wii back in 2007, the series returned on the Nintendo Switch with Mario Strikers: Battle League on June 10, 2022.

Cup and Mode Unlockables

Once again, not much to unlock in terms of modes. It’s essentially win first place in a variety of cups to unlock more cups. Here’s what you need to know:

We’ll update this section if any additional unlockables are discovered.

Gear Unlockables

Most gear is available from the start. Each character has the same armor pieces available but each piece must be purchased individually for 100 coins each.

There is one set of unlockable gear that becomes available once you complete all the cups in Normal Mode. These pieces of armor cost 300 each.

Mario Strikers: Battle League DLC brought three new gear sets for the growing roster.

How to Get Coins and Tokens

Use coins to unlock gear for each character and to give yourself the opportunity to retry a match while playing in a cup. Here are a few ways to get coins:

Tokens are earned and used with the Strikers Club mode. Compete against other clubs and earn tokens after each match. Use those tokens to add new features to your club’s stadium. We’ll update this list once we learn new ways to earn tokens.

You can also earn tokens as a reward for competing in a season. The amount can vary as it depends on your division and your placement within the season, but we’ve seen some rewards go up as high as 15,000.

List of Stadiums and Upgrades

At launch, Mario Strikers: Battle League had six different stadiums to play on. Sorry, no unlockable stadiums this time around. Three stadiums were added through DLC.

Lava Castle	Spooky Mansion	Jungle Retreat
Mushroom Hill	Royal Castle
Desert Ruin	Planetoid	Urban Rooftop

Before starting a match, you’ll have the option to mash two different stadium halves together to make interesting combinations. If you’re part of a club, each stadium can be upgraded to expand the stadium theme, fence post, goal-line decoration, goals, and field. These customizations can be accessed in your Strikers Club options and can be purchased using tokens. Tokens are collected as a group. The more active players you have in your club, the faster you’ll unlock tokens.

Each stadium follows the same unlock structure for each customization. Purchasing the stadium theme upgrades is what unlocks additional customizations and makes them available for purchase. Check out this stadium customization video by YouTuber GoDlI for a look at almost all of the customizations.

An update released after launch added customizations for supporters, the characters in the crowds surrounding your stadium.

Want to go back to a customization that you’ve previously purchased? It’s going to cost you.

Unfortunately, unlocking all of these customizations will take an enormous amount of time and effort so we don’t have images of each one. Instead, here’s a quick example of each type.

Stadium Theme	Fence Post	Goal-Line Decoration
Goal	Field	Supporter

One more thing! The same update that added customizable supporters also added the addition of customizable match celebrations. This new option allows you to pick three different firework types to feature in your match, as well as the confetti style. These cost coins instead of tokes to purchase, interestingly.
