You can customize your characters with gear that can adjust how they play and how they look in the Mario Strikers: Battle League game, available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch family of systems. However, we should warn you to choose carefully—each piece of gear improves one stat but also lowers one stat. Each character has the same sets of gear and attributes will be affected in the same way. Here’s a look at some of the different types of gear and what they can help bring to your game.

 

Cannon Gear

Cannon Gear increases your Shooting stat by +2, which means the power and speed of your shots will go up. But to increase your Shooting, another stat will have to decrease by -2. The Cannon Visor decreases Technique, the Cannon Gloves decrease Speed, the Cannon Plate decreases Strength, and the Cannon Boots decrease Passing. In this image from the game, Mario is wearing a full set of Cannon Gear. Very stylish, Mario!

 

Chain Gear

Chain Gear improves your Passing stat by +2, which means your pass speed and range of free pass will increase. But to increase your Passing, another stat will have to decrease by -2. The Chain Helmet decreases Speed, the Chain Gauntlets decrease Shooting, the Chain Plate decreases Technique, and the Chain Boots decrease Strength. In this image from the game, Peach is wearing a full set of Chain Gear. Love the look, Peach!

 

Muscle Gear

Muscle Gear set improves your Strength stat by +2, which means your tackling power and your resistance to other players’ tackles will increase. But to increase your Strength, another stat will have to decrease by -2. The Muscle Helmet decreases Technique, the Muscle Gauntlets decrease Passing, the Muscle Chest decreases Shooting, and the Muscle Boots decrease Speed.
