An unofficial PC port of Super Mario Strikers, Nintendo's GameCube arcade soccer game, has been released for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The port runs natively rather than through emulation and preserves the original gameplay and visual style while adding features for modern PC hardware.

The port supports high frame rates with customizable frame limits and VSync, as well as widescreen and ultrawide display modes. Players can expand the pitch view, correct the aspect ratio, and increase the internal resolution. Graphics options include 4x MSAA and up to 16x anisotropic filtering across Metal, Vulkan, and Direct3D 12 APIs. Linux users also have access to experimental OpenGL and OpenGL ES support.

Controller compatibility covers Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch Pro controllers, plus compatible GameCube adapters. Keyboard controls are fully supported, with customizable button mappings, stick deadzones, and rumble settings. Button prompts adapt to match your active input device. A separate settings application lets players adjust graphics, controls, audio, and game data without launching the game.

The port supports US, European, and Japanese versions of Super Mario Strikers. Like other native rewrites of console games, it requires users to provide their own game ISO and contains no in-game assets from the original.

Online multiplayer is not included, and the creator does not plan to add it. This limits the port to local play only, either solo against AI or with multiple controllers connected to a single PC.
