Ball Dash

Ball Dash is a special move in the Mario Baseball series. It first appears in Mario Superstar Baseball and returns in Mario Super Sluggers.

Description[]

Ball Dash is an ability only usable by Goomba or Monty Mole in Mario Superstar Baseball or Goomba and Noki in Mario Super Sluggers, with Monty Mole instead receiving Burrow as their ability in the latter game. The ability becomes active for either character while they are holding the baseball, causing them to run around the field at fast speed. This can be used in the outfield to shorten their throwing distance quick, or to make easy tag-outs in infield.
