Mario Super Slugger is a multiplayer sports game that allows you to get away from it all.  It takes you to a mushroom world where people can pitch 2 trick balls at you, throw a giant turtle shell of pain at you, counter with several twisty, double firey balls of doom, and still be considered legal.

Not only can you swing so hard that the baseball catches on fire, but in this multiplayer game you can make a two man ladder to catch home runs.

So let’s get the game started!

Mario Super Sluggers Gameplay

It's day time!

Now it's night time! The playing fields are different!

Playing Baseball is the meat of this wii sports game.

Now there is an adventure mode where you play as Mario restoring peace and destruction from Bowser in Peaches newest baseball stadium, but you still play baseball.

You choose a star player (team captain) and then the rest of your team, which can include your mii.  Every character has stats.

You then choose the field to play in.  Every field has something special about it.  For example in one field there’s a chain chomp that’ll chase the people in the outfield.

Pitching Team

On the field your star character pitches.  However just, because a star character doesn’t have good pitching stats doesn’t mean you’re doomed.  You can always

Look at the curve of this star pitch!

call time out and switch pitchers.

As the pitched you can throw fast balls, slow balls, lobs, you name it.  If you’re pitching with you star characters and the star gauge at the bottom of the screen.  Charge your pitch and the press A + B at the same time to use a star pitch.

If they do hit the ball get your character to run to it by using the nunchuck.  Don’t give up, because if you catch if you get the batter out.

Batting Team

Just like pitching, or wii sports, swing to charge your ball and then hit the ball flying at you.  Star character can do star swings by swinging while holding onto A and B at the same time.

Once you hit the ball you swing your wiimote back and forth just like you’re running to the base.  Sometimes you’ll be able to throw items to stall your opponents from getting the ball.

Mario Super Sluggers Multiplayer

It's going to be out if the other player doesn't interfere!

‘Mario Super Sluggers would have been fun with wi-fi, but it doesn’t have it, oh well…  Anyways you can play 2 baseball modes and a whole bunch of mini games.

Exhibition

This is the mode where you play baseball with one of your friends.  Choose one of the 12 playing fields (counting the night version), and then choose your teams.  Set the positions and then game on!

Toy Field

In this mode you play with 3 other friends.  Choose a player, and then you enter a field with numerous amounts of numbers on the floor. One of the player pitches and the rest of the players try to catch the ball.  You all start out with 300 coins.  The person who has the most in the end wins.

You can play this game in teams of two with one of your friends if you want.

Mini Games

You get to play 12 mini games, with 4 players. They are all different, depending on day or night. However, these are all played by playing parts of the normal game.

Conclusion

It is a great game, even if you do not like baseball, or even know HOW to play baseball. It isn’t extremely frustrating if you miss the ball, like in real life. You can hit the ball with more ease then in real life ‘cause it’s a video game, and you can’t get ball or anything else.

if you’re interested, you should buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
