Item Description

Mario winds up and a fireball comes screaming toward the plate. Donkey Kong answers with a swing that sends a curving banana ball over the wall. Mario Superstar Baseball is built on moments like that, with every captain carrying a Star Skill for pitching and batting and a five-star Team Stars meter deciding when you can unleash them. Fill the meter, time a perfect charged swing, and a home run is all but guaranteed.

Namco, the company behind Japan's long-running Family Stadium baseball series, developed it, and the baseball underneath the Mushroom Kingdom flourish is surprisingly thoughtful. Twelve captains, from Mario, Peach and Yoshi to Wario, Diddy Kong and Bowser Jr., lead teams filled out with Koopas, Shy Guys, Toads and more. Chemistry matters: friends throw to one another faster and hit better when a buddy is on base, while characters who dislike each other make slower, sloppier throws in the field. Building a lineup becomes a puzzle of power, speed and personalities.

Challenge Mode is the heart of the single-player game. You take a captain's team across a map of rival squads and recruit new players by completing mission objectives during games, and a mercy-rule win convinces an entire opposing team to join you on the spot. Bowser Jr. roams the map looking for a fight, a Toad runs a shop full of power-ups, and clearing the hardest difficulty finally brings Bowser into play. The ballparks add their own trouble, like the Piranha Plants that menace outfielders at Yoshi Park, while Toy Field and the minigames, including one where you smash Bob-ombs into fireworks and another where you scoop up gems while dodging a Chain Chomp, round out the package.

It reviewed well and was followed by Mario Super Sluggers on the Wii in 2008, but this GameCube original is where Nintendo's take on baseball first found its footing: easy to pick up, deeper than it looks and full of Mushroom Kingdom rivalries. Few Mario sports games of the era are as easy to recommend, and the disc puts it right back on real hardware.
