Mario Super Sluggers is the sequel to Mario Superstar Baseball, and will be released for the Wii this year. The game was announced on October 9, 2007, at a Nintendo conference. It will be released in Japan on June 19, 2008[1] and in North America on August 25, 2008.[2]
Intro
Mario Super Sluggers begins with Toad, Daisy, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Birdo on a small cruiser riding to the baseball island. The cruiser arrives, and they meet up with Peach and Toadsworth at the entrance. They then follow to the lighthouse located at the Daisy Cruiser, which shows an overview of the whole island. From there, they run into the Mario Stadium holding Wii Remotes, and gazing out. Daisy takes her Wiimote and swings it, turning it into her bat. Luigi follows and Mario turns his into his ball and glove. Mario pitches to Daisy right away, and she makes a hit.
The scenes begin switching from stadium to stadium. Daisy's ball is chased after by Toads in the Peach Rink, where they run into Freezies. The ball then rolls onto Wario City, where Wario chases after it to find it shoot 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 jumps over a pipe to catch the ball, realizing he is going to fall, he flutters around, but falls in with the ball. The ball flies to Diddy Kong at DK Jungle, where he is about to be run over by a barrel, when Donkey Kong comes to Diddy's rescue by smashing it.
The view switches back to Mario Stadium, where Mario pitches to DK, who then makes a hit. Yoshi goes for the catch, but both Wario and Waluigi bombard him with bob-ombs. Yoshi slides to the catch regardless, throws it to Peach, who throws it to Mario, and then to Luigi on base. DK slams into Luigi, sending him into the field wall. As Daisy and Toad stand in alarm, the crowd follows suit, only to see Luigi stand and reveal that he has caught the ball. Lakitu calls it out, and everyone rushes to Luigi and Mario's side.
Gameplay
Mario Super Sluggers can be played using three different control methods:
- Wii Remote (vertical)
- Wii Remote (horizontal)
- Wii Remote + Nunchuk combo
In order to bat or pitch, the A button must be held and then the Wii Remote must be swung at the appropriate time. The more precise the hit/pitch, the further/faster the ball will go. The player can do curve balls as well by twisting the Wii Remote, while pitching. Once the ball is in a fielder's hand, the Remote must be swung so that the fielder can pitch the ball at one of the basemen. Some fielders can throw fast balls or Laser Balls in order to get to one of the basemen faster.
Star Skills will reappear in Super Sluggers as well. Any player can pitch or bat using Star Skills, however only Team Captains can use special hits/pitches. Team Players can only use Star skills that will make the ball go faster or slower.
Stadiums
The stadiums are all based off of a particular captain, excluding Birdo, Waluigi, Bowser, and Diddy Kong. Each of the nine stadiums can be played in both daytime or nighttime. Most of them also have their own personalized sets of obstacles; this is excluding stadiums such as Mario Stadium and Wario Fare.

Items
There will be items in Mario Super Sluggers, much like to Mario Strikers Charged. However, only a few items have been confirmed as of now.
Challenge Mode
Challenge Mode will reappear in Mario Super Sluggers. This one, unlike Mario Superstar Baseball, features a more in-depth story and overall map screen. A few obstacles were seen, like a puzzle to get to the next part of the path. Not much else is known for now. In a recent trailer, a star pointer (similar to Super Mario Galaxy's) was seen in the challenge mode.
