The 10 Most Unstoppable Soccer Video Game Characters, Ranked

If you’ve ever played Super Soccer on the Super Nintendo, you know how difficult it is to beat the Nintendo All-Stars.

After winning the World Tournament in Super Soccer, a cutscene will play where the referee steals your trophy and challenges you to play against a maxed-out team dressed in all black kits.

The Nintendo All-Stars played an insane 2-3-5 formation with Jeff as the central striker. Both Jeff and Mark have 16 attack and 16 run ratings, which go above the game’s maximum.

To play as the Nintendo All-Stars in an exhibition game, first have player one choose any team. Player 2 unlocks the Nintendo All-Stars by selecting any team, holding down B and the start button.
