Mario Strikers: Battle League is finally here, reviving the beloved sports branch of the hit Nintendo franchise. With party modes and competitive play at its core, there's one thing you'll want to do in all of them: gloat in front of rivals once you've scored. As such, this guide will explain how to celebrate in Mario Strikers: Battle League, just in case you're struggling to make the most of your better plays.
Celebrations are varied but slightly more hands-off than you may expect from other football games. Nonetheless, we'll explain exactly how to perform a celebration in Mario Strikers: Battle League before detailing each and every character's unique celebratory move.

How Do I Celebrate in Mario Strikers: Battle League?
Unlike most other football games, there's no way to manually control your celebration in Mario Strikers: Battle League. Instead, when you score a goal, a cutscene takes place showing the goalscorer celebrating.
Yes, it may come as bad news to some, but you can't actually choose a celebration in Mario Strikers: Battle League. The moment the ball hits the back of the net, you lose control of your character. That means no dashing around the pitch, gloating in front of rivals, or cheering with your fans. Instead, you'll have to watch the cutscene and get ready for the match to resume afterwards.
There's no denying it's a shame. Aside from celebrations, you control practically every part of Mario Strikers: Battle League. Consdering how many off-the-ball options you have, it's the one thing that players may miss out on during gameplay. No matter what you do, you won't be able to simply pick a celebration to play once you've knocked that ball in the back of the net.
What Is Each Character's Celebration in Mario Strikers: Battle League?

| Bowser | Rolls onto a ball then roars |

Just because you don't have direct control over celebrations in Mario Strikers: Battle League, that doesn't mean you can't still have some fun when them. Each character in the roster has a unique celebration cutscene, which is definitely worth checking out. If you're curious, we've got a list of each character and their individual celebration below.
On top of that, when you perform a Power Strike with each character, they perform a unique charge-up cutscene. It's another little thing worth keeping an eye on, even though manual celebrations sadly aren't present.
