Mario Stadium (baseball stadium)

Mario Stadium is a stadium in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. As its name implies, it is Mario's stadium, and it is the most simplistic of all the stadiums in the game. It seems to be always set near beaches. It looks like any other Real World Baseball Stadium, and there are no real features to distract players. It is a great stage for beginners or those who want a more realistic game. It features the largest seating capacity of all the stadiums in both games.

Mario Superstar Baseball
Mario Stadium's first appearance is in Mario Superstar Baseball. The field is set on the beach with a small amount of sand behind the outfield wall. Palm trees and houses are also behind this wall. The stands are constructed like traditional stadium stands and hold around 300+ people. It is hinted that this stadium is near Isle Delfino. In Challenge Mode, Mario and his team are always challenged in Mario Stadium.

Mario Super Sluggers
Mario Stadium makes a return in Mario Super Sluggers. This time the field is more realistic and set right on the water's edge. The scoreboard now features flags styled after Super Mario Bros. as well as lights behind it for nighttime games. In the background a lighthouse on a cliff can be seen as well as a boat in the water. The stands are modeled after a beach house on one side and traditional stands on the other. The stadium now seats roughly twice as many characters as in Superstar Baseball.

The mini-game is Bob-omb Derby, with a few differences from the earlier game.

Trivia

 * Mario Stadium is one of only two stadiums in Mario Superstar Baseball that have spectators watching in the stands. Others, like DK Jungle, appear to have areas designed to seat fans (behind home plate), but there are never any shown. Wario Palace has fans in the introduction, but none during actual gameplay.
