Mario Strikers Charged Cups and unlocks: Bowser Jr., Diddy, Petey and arena awards
Follow Road to the Striker Cup and the two qualifying-round awards.
Edition covered
Original Wii Mario Strikers Charged, called Mario Strikers Charged Football in PAL regions. Official Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection online service has ended; local modes remain distinct.
Three cups unlock three defending champions
Clear Fire Cup for Bowser Jr., Crystal Cup for Diddy Kong and Striker Cup for Petey Piranha. Each run combines qualifying games, elimination play and a champion series.
| Cup | Qualifying games | Champion and unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Cup | Six | Bowser Jr.; The Lava Pit |
| Crystal Cup | Ten | Diddy Kong; Crystal Canyon |
| Striker Cup | Nine | Petey Piranha; Stormship Stadium |
| Champion series | Best of three | Win two matches to complete the cup |
Qualifying points reward surviving sudden death
A win gives three points, an ordinary loss zero and a sudden-death loss one. Keep the table in mind because a narrow loss can still affect qualification.
| Cup or award | Requirement | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Cup awards | Golden Foot and Brick Wall | The Wastelands |
| Crystal Cup awards | Golden Foot and Brick Wall | The Dump |
| Striker Cup awards | Golden Foot and Brick Wall | Galactic Stadium |
| Golden Foot | Most goals in qualifying | Offensive award |
| Brick Wall | Fewest goals conceded in qualifying | Defensive award |
The champion series is best of three
Reaching the holder is not the final requirement: win two games in the series. Losing earlier in the elimination bracket forces a restart of the cup.
Two awards unlock a second arena per cup
Golden Foot rewards the most qualifying goals scored; Brick Wall rewards the fewest conceded. Earn both to open the award arena, which differs from the champion-victory arena.
