Mario Strikers: Battle League is the grand return of the most grittiest Mario sub-series after a 15-year hiatus, bringing the series into crisp HD technology with new gameplay mechanics and a seasonal club mode. It is the last game to feature Charles Martinet as the voice of Wario, prior to his retirement from voicing Mario characters.

To do: Find anything like unused text, textures, graphics, test stadiums, etc. Most of the files seem to be encrypted, however. Compare the game to the European version, the First Kick demo released weeks before June 10th, and the first trailer where there were differences with the lighting and UI. Unused version of the first Royal Castle theme 30 second mark. Spot any differences between this and the used version.

The "other adjustments to game balance and several other issues" are:

• The menus and presentation are more stabilized, being more smooth and less consuming on framerate (i.e. Donkey Kong's goal animations and the Cup Battles menu).
• The Technique stat had its stats lowered to be less impactful.
• Peach's Hyper Strike now has unique voice clips for every character when they get infected by it.
• The match results screen now has the numbers and the light from the winning team move instead of just a static image.

Glitch Oddity

This update introduced a new glitch involving Boom Boom, known as the "Death Lob" by the community. This glitch has you do a free pass right over him to the goal while a teammate is in front of you. When said teammate immediately dodges, Boom Boom keeps moving back and forth, not stopping the ball. This method consistently gives you goals and was game-breaking, but fortunately...

v1.1.1

Quietly released about a month after the previous update. The only change is that the Death Lob glitch is fixed.
