Dust off those cleats, it's time to get to work.
The Mario Strikers series was one of many prevalent Mario sports franchises that took a more light-hearted approach to gaming than something like EA's FIFA series. While there's certainly merit for both types of games, fans enjoyed diving headfirst into the more arcade-centric one. Mario Strikers Battle League as its release was a surprise for this year.
Like many Mario spin-off titles, there's plenty of content to unlock just by playing the game without needing to purchase additional DLC. When first starting the game, fans will notice that only one cup is not available: the Championship Cup. Luckily, it's unlocked relatively easily so players don't have to worry about not having access to the full game for a long time.
How to unlock the Championship Cup in Mario Strikers Battle League
As mentioned above, unlocking the Championship Cup is quite simple. To unlock it, the player must have won the other five cups available on normal difficulty. The cups needed to unlock the championship are the Cannon Cup, Chain Cup, Turbo Cup, Muscle Cup, and Trick Cup. Each has teams that focus on different abilities, which means winning may take a few games for the player to learn each team's strengths and weaknesses.
Once the other five cups have been beaten, the Championship Cup will be available to players in the “Cup Battles” menu screen. The Championship Cup will likely be the toughest matches the player has encountered so far, as instead of the teams all using a specific strategy as in each of the previous cups, each player will adopt their own strategy from one of the previous five. teams. The Championship Cup is certainly a nice challenge for players looking for something a little more difficult than what was available in previous matches.

It's not an easy task as the galactic enemies are much tougher than anything you've ever faced, but with enough practice you should be able to beat them all. With the Cannon Cup, Chain Cup, Turbo Cup, Muscle Cup, and Trick Cup all beaten on Galactic difficulty, the Galactic Cup will be unlocked in the “Cup Battles” menu. Similar to the Championship Cup, the opposing team's Memories will adopt multiple strategies, so make sure you're prepared for anything when challenging them.
