Mario Superstar Baseball is a must for anyone looking for a baseball game that has easy controls, you can catch on to it quickly, and has great 1 and 2 player modes. I got this game for Christmas in 2006 my brother sister and I all tried it out and we loved it. It has amazing graphics and the controls are easy to master. I will go through the modes one at a time.

EXHIBITION GAME
You can play 1 or 2 players on Exhibition Mode. Exhibition Mode is just a pick up game you play with players from the game. You choose your captain, pick your players, choose a field and your all set. Exhibition Mode is a great mode to practice your skills or have fun with a friend.

CHALLENGE MODE
Challenge Mode is the main mode of Mario Superstar Baseball it is for 1 player only. In Challenge Mode you start a file then choose a captain, after you have chose your captain you will get assigned to a team consisting of the captain you chose, a sub captain, some normal players and one unlockable characters. As you deafeat teams you will unlock other teams captains. After you beat every team you will go on to play bowsers team with the best of all the players from your team and other teams you face bowser, you will find his stadium unusual and ruthless and his team very intimitading but no pain no gain right?

unrealistic size fields - they are tiny yet very little balls go really deep, baserunning is horrible, the fact you have to constantly power up your pitch and swing to achieve something good gets old fast, bad overall control of the fielders...there's no fun to this game

This was a purchase for my 7 yr old son's birthday. He LOVES it! I've played it with him several times and was surprised at how long we played. Our favorite part is swinging the bat. Not as much fun as MarioKart, but definitely worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this game on discount(looking for the bigs but store didn't have it),and I stumbled on mario baseball.Being a fan of both I picked it up, and have to say I'm enjoying it.Probly not as much as I would have the bigs but its still fun.However the anounsers voice(sorry bout spelling) sounds like mario and steve erkal had a baby

This is a really great game, with some mediocre graphics and sound though. I LOVE this game (I haven't gotten tired of it even when I got it for Easter) This game can be a little tricky with the fielding and baserunning, but overall it is incredibly fun and exciting. There can be some great parts about the game. You can choose from thirty-two characters and six fields. The fields (except for Mario Stadium) have their own crazy features. Peach Stadium has Hidden Blocks, which balls can bounce off of, Wario Stadium has Tornadoes, which make the ball whirl around in the air and make it fly off in another direction......etc. This game can be very intense at some point though. It can become frustrating as well. What makes the game interesting is the way that each pitcher and batter have their own special pitches and hits. The player can choose from 12 team captains, which each have a special hit and pitch (D.K has a banana ball hit and a banana curving pitch). Unfortunately with this game, there are some pretty big flaws. First of all, if a ball is hit between outfielders, the control switches between the two out fielders, making them both arrive after the ball has hit the ground at the same time, giving the hitter an extra run. Second, The players have way too fast of reactions (If someone hits a ball really quickly at the third or first baseman, they will almost always catch it), which gets incredibly frustrating. Finally, the people in the outfield are way too good. (Bowser, who is probably the worst fielder in the game, will make every 8 or 9 out of 10 catches. It they are going to be bad, make them REALLY bad. Also, it is confusing how Goomba and Monty Mole are so fast when they have the ball. When these two get the ball, they take off like a rocket (Monty Mole got a double play by tagging out my man going to first and my runner going home). That got annoying. Enough with the bad. I think that this game is incredible for its creativity and gameplay. This game is great.
