Choose your team
There are 18 playable characters, so check their stats, pick your teammates, then assign positions like team captain and goalie.
Hit the field
Set your team’s formation and positions on the soccer field, then start the game. You can even save your chosen lineup to use again!

Game-winning strategies

Hold down the A Button to shoot and try to score a goal. The longer you hold down the A Button, the longer the shot will be!

When the ball starts glowing, press the A Button twice to fire a powerful Special Shot.

Keep an eye on your teammates on the bottom screen. One of them may be open for a pass or a shot.
