Super Dive
Sliding Catch is a fielding ability in Mario Superstar Baseball. It allows the character to dive farther than usual to catch a ball. The Sliding Catch activates only occasionally. It is signified by a sparkling light surrounding the character's baseball glove body and a sound effect. Characters who can use the ability include Mario, Princess Daisy, Wario, Koopa, Shy Guy, Dry Bones, Noki and Toadette .
The ability is renamed Super Dive in Mario Super Sluggers, with little to no difference in terms of game mechanics. Mario and Toadette can no longer use this ability because of the Enlarge ability. Koopa can't do this as well because of the Spin Attack ability. Also, Dry Bones can't do this because of the Scatter Dive ability and Noki can't do this because of the Ball Dash ability she earned. However, they do still dive very well to the ball. So now, the only characters that can perform the Super Dive ability are Daisy, Baby Daisy and Shy Guy.
