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

Baseball Kingdom

The Large Baseball Kingdom with its eight stadiums.

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.

Characters

Many different characters have been spotted on the field in screenshots or artwork. All characters returned from Mario Superstar Baseball and there is a total of forty-two characters.

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.

Kritter Despite his large, imposing figure, Kritter doesn't have the same dominant power as his boss, King K. Rool, but he is an above-average hitter and has a reliable fastball when he's on the mound. However don't count out his hitting he has some power. Keeper Catch DK Wilds Pitch 4/10

Bat 3/10
Field 3/10

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
