Funny / Mario Strikers

Go To

  • Wario is a walking example of this.
    • Wario's home entrance in Mario Strikers Charged: He starts off in the same spread-out skydiving pose as most of the other characters, except that he's singing his theme in time with the actual music. But when it comes time for him to switch to a position that would facilitate a "safe" landing, he instead maintains the skydiving pose and slams into the ground gut-first (which also prompts his theme to stop), after which he looks up and glares at the ball.
    • While we are on the subject of his theme...
    • "Butt smash!"
    • Gas Mask, and the opponents' reactions to it.
      Mario: Oh, Wario! *cough*
      Peach: Phoo-wee! Wario!
      Daisy: WAAARIO!!!
      Bowser Jr.: BLEH! Wario!
    • His frustration when the opponents get a goal. Particularly when he ends up wrestling and beating up the ball... and it blows up in his face.
    • "Keep throwing me!"
    • Even his Mega Strike is hilarious. He inflates like a balloon and blows the ball at the goal.
    • One of his victory animations has the camera on his backside as he laughs while it goes up to his face, giving a thumbs-up and say his name. In slow-motion for some reason.
    • Wario doesn't howl in pain if he's electrocuted in the first game. Instead, he screams "OOOOH YEEEESSS!"
  • Waluigi's theme.
  • Daisy giving her team the evil eye after letting the opponent get a goal in. Even funnier is how even Dry Bones is afraid of her.
  • Bowser setting his team on fire for letting a goal in. Even funnier is that one of his teammates does the 'Stop, drop and roll' motion to put it out.
  • Peach sometimes gets angry at her team for letting a ball in and stomps up and down in a tantrum. While amusing in itself, Birdo's reaction is just comedy gold.
  • Petey Piranha just swaggin' after scoring a goal. And for his visitor entrance.
    • Petey eating one of the opposing teammates for scoring a goal while everyone else runs away screaming.
    • Petey doing the limbo after scoring. Nevermind where Petey found the random scrap to make said limbo set.
  • DK randomly punching the camera over in his exuberance.
    • Waluigi does the same thing out of anger when the other team scores, while saying "cheese!"
  • Luigi's Airplane Arms.
  • Yoshi chasing his tail is both funny and adorable.
  • When Diddy Kong scores a goal, he does a little victory dance, then stops and grins sheepishly when he realizes that everyone is watching.
  • Dry Bones celebrating a goal by doing the worm. Their head ends up falling off.
  • Bowser Jr., when frustrated, goes to kick one of the goalposts, only to stub his toe on it when he tries.
  • Some of the Hyper Strikes in Battle League can have humorous outcomes:
    • Peach's Dance of Hearts has anyone in its path falls in a love trance. The icing on the cake is that if Boom Boom fails to block the orange version of it, he'll snuggle the ball and roll it onto the goal himself.
    • Rosalina's Orbital Burst freezes Boom Boom entirely if timed perfectly.
    • Hitting Daisy with Mario's Hyper Strike will burn her butt and cause her to frantically hop around the field, with her butt still on fire. The animation being so hyper and Daisy being one of very few characters to suffer from butt burning, make it stand out as especially amusing.
  • During kick-offs in Battle League, Waluigi may walk around like a chicken before pointing at the other team in a taunting matter. Alternatively, if he's the one with the ball, he'll start lying down on the field before getting up.
  • Shy Guy's reaction if you score on him in Battle League: he just stands there...MENACINGLY!!
    • It's honestly hard to tell whether he's sad or furious, but the long shadow seems to imply the former.
    • This being in a game where everyone is normally hyperactive with their animations makes this even more priceless.
