Mario Super Sluggers (known as Super Mario Stadium Family Baseball in Japan) is a game for the Wii console developed by Namco Bandai and published by Nintendo. It was previously known by the working title, Super Mario Stadium Baseball. It is part of the Mario Sports series, and the sequel to 2005's Mario Superstar Baseball for the Nintendo GameCube. Several voice clips are reused from Mario Power Tennis.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Mario Super Sluggers is similar to that of its predecessor; the main difference being the controls, with the Wii Remote adding immersion using a control scheme similar to the Baseball sub-game in Wii Sports.[1]
- There are three control methods: Wii Remote by itself, Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and the Wii Remote held sideways.
- The items can be thrown at fielders in an attempt to keep them from catching the ball.
Buddy Jump
A Buddy Jump is a new technique in Mario Super Sluggers that allows a character who has chemistry with a nearby character to jump off of the other character and catch possible home runs. It is activated when jumping twice near a character who has chemistry with the player.
Buddy Throw
The Buddy Throw allows players with Chemistry to throw very fast.
Plot
The game starts off with the heroes including Birdo and excluding Peach on a Cruiser Ride to the Baseball Kingdom where there are nine playable fields. They meet up with Peach and Toadsworth. Peach escorts her friends to the lighthouse at the Daisy Cruiser, showing them an overview of the entire locale.
Later Mario and the others start a game of Baseball which also includes them with Wii Remotes, emphasizing the feature of the game. The ball in the game takes a series of places since it was hit that far to Wario City and other places as well. Wario chases after it to find it shot into the air from a manhole water spout. The ball lands on Wario's head, causing him to fall backwards, and causing the ball to fly into Yoshi Park. Yoshi tries to catch with the flutter Jump (A core Yoshi Move) but fails and falls in a Warp Pipe with the ball. The ball flies to DK Jungle and caught by Diddy Kong who shrieked in horror as he was about to be run over by a collosal barrel rolling towards him. However, Donkey Kong saved him.
The view switches back to Mario Stadium, where Mario pitches to DK, who then makes a hit. Yoshi goes for the catch, but Wario and Waluigi bombard him with Bob-ombs. Yoshi tries to catch the ball and it is given to players in a sequence and finally to Luigi in the base about to catch it. However, Donkey Kong was in presence of the base, ended up in tackling Luigi and slamming him to the boundary. Everyone is alarmed for Luigi's injury and the ball's presence, Luigi stood up and showed the ball in his hand. The audience and other players celebrate in honor of Luigi, making Team Mario win the game.

Team Captains
Name | Description | Ability | Team | Stats | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mario | As captain of the Mario Fireballs, Mario has a lot to live up to. But he's always ready to be a hero, so whether he's on the mound, heading for home you know he'll do whatever it takes to save the day. | Enlarge | Mario Fireballs | Pitch | 6/10 |
Bat | 7/10 | ||||
Field | 6/10 | ||||
Run | 7/10 | ||||
Luigi | With his trusty Tornado Ball and signature green cap, Luigi is the talented team captain of the Luigi Knights. He may not have as much confidence as his superstar brother Mario, but not everyone can be a hero, right? | Super Jump | Luigi Knights | Pitch | 6/10 |
Bat | 6/10 | ||||
Field | 7/10 | ||||
Run | 7/10 | ||||
Princess Peach | Mario may be Princess Peach's hero, but she won't need him to come to her rescue this time. An excellent pitcher, her Heart Ball leaves opposing batters dazed by her overwhelming charm. | Quick Throw | Peach Monarchs | Pitch | 9/10 |
Bat | 4/10 | ||||
Field | 8/10 | ||||
Run | 5/10 | ||||

Bat | 6/10 | ||||
Field | 8/10 | ||||
Run | 5/10 | ||||
Yoshi | While not the strongest pitcher, Yoshi's Egg Swing and Tongue Catch help round him out as a team captain. And it may sound strange, but he plays best when surrounded by a lineup of babies. He is the team captain that has numerously beat Super Sluggers youtuber Aaron Chiz. | Tongue Catch | Yoshi Eggs | Pitch | 4/10 |
Bat | 4/10 | ||||
Field | 6/10 | ||||
Run | 9/10 | ||||
Birdo | Always an eclectic character, Birdo boasts a surprisingly diverse group of friends. As a power hitter with great stamina, Birdo should do fine as a first-time captain, despite having trouble hitting curves. "What does that mouth do?" | Suction Catch | Birdo Bows | Pitch | 4/10 |
Bat | 8/10 | ||||
Field | 7/10 | ||||
Run | 5/10 | ||||
Wario | Wario throws a straight and powerful pitch, except when he unleashes his Phony Ball. But nobody likes a cheater, which is why so few of the other players like to be on the Wario Muscles. | Laser Beam | Wario Muscles | Pitch | 5/10 |
Bat | 8/10 | ||||
Field | 3/10 | ||||
Run | 4/10 | ||||

Bat | 4/10 | ||||
Field | 8/10 | ||||
Run | 5/10 | ||||

Bat | 9/10 | ||||
Field | 3/10 | ||||
Run | 2/10 | ||||
Diddy Kong | Diddy Kong is a formidable pitcher with a mean changeup that he puts to good use as captain of the Diddy Monkeys. He likes to stack his team with fellow Kongs Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong any chance he gets. | Clamber | Diddy Monkeys | Pitch | 5/10 |
Bat | 4/10 | ||||
Field | 8/10 | ||||
Run | 6/10 | ||||
Bowser | Bowser is a real baseball bruiser. As the king of the koopas and the captain of the Bowser Monsters, he packs superstrong hitting, killer pitching and a vicious outfield spin attack into one powerful package. He throws absolute gas but his pitching is not the best. | Spin Attack | Bowser Monsters | Pitch | 5/10 |
Bat | 10/10 | ||||
Field | 3/10 | ||||
Run | 3/10 | ||||
Bowser Jr. | Bowser Jr's team may be called the rookies, but he is no rookie when it causes trouble for Mario. He and his dad Bowser are the root of all the trouble brewing in Baseball Kingdom. | Spin Attack | Bowser Jr. Rookies | Pitch | 5/10 |

Field | 5/10 | ||||

Baby Peach | Baby Peach is a slow-pitch master with a surprisingly mean changeup. She's tough to hit, even without a special Heart Ball. Even though she lacks stamina, her Quick Throw ability makes her a solid fielder. | Quick Throw | Peach Monarchs | Pitch | 8/10 |
Bat | 2/10 | ||||
Field | 5/10 | ||||
Run | 6/10 | ||||
Baby Daisy | Like other baby players, Baby Daisy makes up for lack of stamina with a solid off-speed pitch. Her changeup is hard to hit, and her signature fielding technique, the Super Dive, makes her a reliable fielder. | Super Dive | Peach Monarchs | Pitch | 6/10 |
Bat | 4/10 | ||||
Field | 5/10 | ||||
Run | 6/10 | ||||
Baby Donkey Kong | Baby DK has the most stamina of all the baby players. And while he isn't the strongest pitcher, he has long monkey limbs that are very useful in the outfield. Like many of his Kong buddies, he can cover some ground. | Clamber | DK Wilds | Pitch | 3/10 |
Bat | 6/10 | ||||
Field | 8/10 | ||||
Run | 4/10 | ||||

Field | 3/10 | ||||
Run | 7/10 | ||||
Toadette | After first joining Princess Peach, Toad and the gang for kart racing, Toadette now brings her patented slow pitch to the baseball field. She may not be much of a power hitter, but she sure can fly when she's running the bases. | Enlarge | Peach Monarchs | Pitch | 5/10 |
Bat | 3/10 | ||||
Field | 4/10 | ||||
Run | 8/10 | ||||

Bat | 3/10 | ||||
Field | 7/10 | ||||
Run | 3/10 | ||||
Smurfdick | This hefty resident of Isle Delfino swings away with a palm tree branch instead of a bat, but it must be dense wood, because Blue Pianta can hit it a mile when he charges all the way up! | Laser Beam | Mario Fireballs | Pitch | 5/10 |
Bat | 8/10 | ||||
Field | 4/10 | ||||
Run | 2/10 | ||||

Field | 4/10 | ||||

Field | 8/10 | ||||

Bat | 8/10 | ||||
Field | 6/10 | ||||
Run | 3/10 | ||||
Tiny Kong | Tiny Kong is the smallest of the Kongs and doesn't boats the power of her bigger friends. But she is by no means the weakest player in the game. Great team chemistry with the Kongs makes her a valuable player. | Clamber | DK Wilds | Pitch | 5/10 |
Bat | 5/10 | ||||
Field | 7/10 | ||||
Run | 5/10 | ||||
King K. Rool | King K. Rool and his Kremling Krew have been after the Kongs for years. Now he's bringing his might to the baseball diamond with a powerful swing and one of the meaner charge pitches around. You should not throw pitches down the pipe. His homeruns are almost as monstrous as he is. You should be aware of your star gauge and use it on him or pitch outside to him. | Laser Beam | DK Wilds | Pitch | 6/10 |
Bat | 10/10 | ||||
Field | 2/10 | ||||
Run | 1/10 | ||||
Kritter | Despite his large, imposing figure, Kritter doesn't have the same dominant power as his boss, King K.

Field | 7/10 | ||||

Boo | Normally the shiest of spirits, Boo isn't afraid to show off the strongest changeup in the game when he takes the mound. His teleportation ability comes in handy when baserunning - or basefloating in his case. | Teleport | Wario Muscles | Pitch | 9/10 |
Bat | 3/10 | ||||
Field | 3/10 | ||||
Run | 5/10 | ||||
King Boo | Haunting Luigi since he first set foot in the mansion, King Boo doesn't have the stamina for late innings, but he's a talented player nonetheless. As it is with many ghosts, he is not well-liked by other players. | Teleport | Wario Muscles | Pitch | 7/10 |
Bat | 7/10 | ||||
Field | 3/10 | ||||
Run | 4/10 | ||||
Petey Piranha | As one of the biggest players on the field, it comes as no shock that Petey Piranha has one of the top three charge shots in the game. He brings the heat on the mound as well, but has surprisingly low stamina. Petey has been known to hit homeruns for days off of Aaron Chiz. Petey is a threat you don't want to mess with so use your star pitches on him or walk him. | Piranha Catch | Peach Monarchs | Pitch | 4/10 |

Blooper | Blooper and Mario have already met on Isle Delfino. Now they meet again on the baseball diamond. Blooper's unique Ink Dive makes him an effective base runner. Don't be fooled by his changeup—it's actually his fastest pitch. | Ink Dive | Mario Fireballs | Pitch | 6/10 |
