== 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 (baseball stadium)|Mario Stadium]] holding [[Wii Remote]]s, 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 [[Toad (species)|Toads]] in the [[Peach Rink]], where they run into [[Freezie|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.

*[[Green Shell]]
*[[Bob-omb]]
*[[Mega Mushroom]]

==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.
