Mario then kicks the ball as Bowser's goalie prepares to block it, and the ball circles across the air towards the goal, leading to the title screen. He then executes his Hyper Strike, and while preparing to kick it, gets flames in his eyes.

The ball goes back to the ground as the fire burns out and Luigi passes it to Mario.

The ball then reaches Bowser, who breathes fire toward the ball and then tries to throw it, but Luigi slides and tackles him, losing the ball in the process. Donkey Kong performs his Hyper Strike, knocking out Mario and Peach, but the team's Boom Boom goalie manages to block the soccer ball from scoring. The fire makes a transition to Luigi passing the ball to Toad, but Bowser does a Team Tackle with Donkey Kong, launching and punching Mario and Toad out and throwing the ball to Yoshi, who exerts a few moves before passing it to Donkey Kong. Bowser's Boom Boom goalie blocks the ball, and the camera moves to him getting upset and roaring in frustration, breathing fire in the process. Peach dribbles the ball out of the explosion and gets to the Lava Castle part of the field, passing the ball to Toad, which he then shoots. The ball bounces as Bowser and Peach try to get it, with the Peach throwing a Bob-omb right to Bowser before he could get the ball and has him flying off the stadium. Rosalina walks in sight, stares at Luigi, and then tackles him into an electric fence with a dash, causing him to lose the ball. Mario passes the ball to Luigi, where the latter soon dodges a tackle from Yoshi. The former manages to get the soccer ball first, and the game begins. Once both teams land, Mario and Bowser stare at each other.

The camera moves across the soccer field to then show two portals appearing, one for Bowser's team (consisting of Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Rosalina) and one for Mario's (consisting of Luigi, Toad, and Peach), both briefly transitioning to a cel-shaded style. The game's opening begins with the Mushroom Hill and Lava Castle stages combining to one field in space.
