Mario Strikers Charged goes online, and then some

Ok, Ok, Super Mario Strikers is already out in the Europe this week. I get it. But did you know its online component was adopted en masse faster than the German language was by France during World War 2? (a tasteless surrender joke, I know, I know)
The Tanooki tells it like it is:
For the week ending May 27 (yesterday), online activity for Nintendo WFC games was as follows:
1. Pokémon Diamond - 1,460,474 connections
2. Pokémon Pearl - 1,007,074 connections
3. Mario Strikers Charged Football - 399,569 connections
4. Animal Crossing: Wild World - 360,855 connections
5. Mario Kart DS - 294,993 connections
6. Metroid Prime Hunters - 201,480 connections
7. Jump! Ultimate Stars - 128,872 connections
8. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker - 108,299 connections
9. Tetris DS - 71,347 connections
10. Pokémon Battle Revolution - 51,781 connections
Um. Wow. I’d say Pokemon titles taking the top spots are a wash, so I’m giving the crown to Strikers this week.

Even faster than America getting its ass out of Vietnam.

What is it with the lack of Pokémon love over here, I say???
Anyway, what I keep finding curiouser and curiouser, is that with all these online connections Mario Strikers, how come we haven’t heard anything on how are these connections set? Do you simply connect and start playing with any other random player? How do you find if your friends are playing?
With an actual online game functioning out there, I’m finding this all this speculation frustrating…

You have choices you can jump in and play random people that will affect your rank by gaining points. If you play your friends which you add though the friend code system you do not get points. New news points to the fact that your code is generated based on the Mii used to identify yourself and that that Mii’s code will be identical throughout online titles. Regardless in this game you pick a Mii and it creates a friend code for that Mii that you transmit to people punch em in and play.
