Some of the update’s biggest additions include the introduction of Pauline and Diddy Kong as playable characters. A new stadium, called the Planetoid, has also been added to the game, as well as the new Barrel gear set.

Players may now be able to use the new Striker Rankings feature, wherein they may now compare their individual ability for a limited time using each of their Skill Scores. New contents to the Striker Club Feature are also live thanks to the update, such as the supporter’s customization for the Stadium, and the ability to view fireworks and confetti using Coins.

Mario Strikers: Battle League lets players form a team of five who would go on against an opposing team. Here, players will play a game that is similar to soccer, though they may use the abilities of their characters to score goals and eventually win a match.

Here are the notes and updates for Mario Strikers: Battle League Patch 1.2.0.
