Excellent cartoon like video game

This is an excellent video game for children. I have spent countless hours playing with my 6 year old son. We are a team now ! He likes to play as Waluigi and I like to play as Luigi but we are always on the same team ! We then head out to the park and practice soccer, tennis and baseball !!!
If you have children and plan to purchase a video game console, please buy Nintendo... DON'T even think about buying a Playstation or an XBOX, and if you buy a Nintendo, buy the Mario franchise games, they'll love them (my kids friends have playstation's and XBOX's but they spent most of their free time Monday thru Friday at my home... playing Nintendo)!!!
Back to this video game. Super Mario Strikers is a cartoon like video game, don't expect FIFA 2007 or Madden NFL 2007. As a cartoon like video game you obviuosly have cartoon like graphics and behaviors. The game comes with several options to play a match, starting with a grudge match. You can also play regular cup matches, there are 4 cups and 4 super cups. All the matches have the same rules below:
There are 4 different difficulty levels: Rookie, professional, legend, etc ... The matches can last from 2 minutes up to 15 minutes. There are no half times. The matches are 4 on 4 plus the goalies, meaning that the teams are 5 players only. The captain of the team is always a major mushroom kingdom character, namely, Mario, Luigi, Peach, etc ... The team is completed by 3 sidekicks, birdo, toad, toadette, etc ... which are the same 3 per team, the goalie is always a lizzard for any team. You can control one character at a time, either the captain or a sideckick but not the goalie, unless he gets the ball, which actually makes the game quite frantic. You can pass, lob, shoot, slide, charge, etc ... with any of the characters BUT you can only powershoot with the captain. There are power ups also and this is where the cartoon like video game kicks in and the game becomes a chaos, franctic and a lot of fun. The characters can throw bombs, shells, freeze, etc ... at each other... and the game becomes very intensive and frantic once Bowser starts appearing causing chaos...
In this game you can play against the computer or with up to 4 players either on the same team or can pick to play either one against one or two against two. You can also pick the stadiums if you decide to play the grudge match BUT not in the cups.
Once again, please pay attention to this comment:
This video game is intended for the younger audience but can be a lot of fun for adults also. It is not intended for the 30 something single guy that plays manhunt on the playstation... which by the way is the majority of the video games buyers and I thank them, without them I would not have a business...
