The user interface provides vital information during a match. Keep an eye on the character portraits at the bottom to see who has the ball and their current stamina. The score and timer are at the top. Pay attention to the Hyper Strike meter, which fills up as you perform actions. Knowing where to look for information will help you make quick decisions on the field.
Much like the bottom-screen map in Mario Kart DS, the character portraits provide essential spatial awareness by indicating which teammate is currently in possession of the ball.
While the Hyper Strike meter requires manual charging through gameplay, its circular visual design mirrors the iconic health gauge mechanics first introduced in Super Mario Galaxy.
