The '''''Mario Baseball''''' | The '''''Mario Baseball''''' series is a spin-off series of the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise that revolves around the concept of [[wikipedia:Baseball|baseball]]. Only two games have been released to date: the first one, ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], and the second one, ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' for the [[Wii]]. Unlike the previous spinoffs, the player could recruit people via completing scout missions to get enough scout flags to recruit the player on one of the four opposite teams. Another unique feature is [[chemistry]], which affects how well the player's teammates cooperate. Even though there are only two baseball games, this series features more playable characters than other spinoff titles in the ''Mario'' franchise. | ||

'''''Mario Super Sluggers''''' is the second and most recent installment to the ''Mario Baseball'' series; it was released for the Wii in 2008 in Japan, South Africa, and North America; however, it was never released for the European, Australian, and South Korean regions.

The game takes place in the [[Baseball Kingdom]]. The game features a total of forty-one playable characters (not counting alternate characters), nine more than the original. All of the previous game's characters were reunited in the sequel, and they were all default. The nine new ones must be unlocked. There were a total of nine stadiums to play in, four of which had to be unlocked; each stadium, unlockables included, had their own unique mini-game for the player to engage in. The game also featured many cutscenes, each of which told a story to give the game a more involved aspect of gameplay.The Challenge Mode was changed from going around playing other teams to recruiting players by clearing special missions for more of a RPG feel. This game can switch between day and night. This is useful because [[Bowser Jr. Playroom]] can only be played in during the day and [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]] and [[Bowser's Castle]] can only be played in at night. | ||
