'''''Mario Super Sluggers''''' is the [[Wii]] installment follow-up to the 2005 [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and is the second game in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series. This game borrows many elements from the previous game, but it also includes new elements as well, including a variety of gameplay controls, such as taking advantage of the motion sensor controls that the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] provides. The game also has a more in-depth and more narrative-driven Challenge Mode, where, rather than only facing off against a Team Captain and a team of opponents, players interact with more characters, including a variety of various sub-characters, and play various small challenges to recruit them for their team. Up to four players can play this title, and a new feature is that players can choose which of the two team sides to be on. | '''''Mario Super Sluggers''''' is the [[Wii]] installment follow-up to the 2005 [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and is the second game in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series.

==Chemistry== | |||
{{main|Chemistry}} | |||
Like ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', the characters will have good and bad relations with any other character. However, the characters can make special abilities with another character when they show good [[Chemistry]]. The player can receive items with chemistry while batting. If the player is a batter and the next batter shares chemistry with the player, this will result in getting an item that can be used for messing up the outfielder's progress. Players that share good chemistry can also perform buddy jumps and buddy throws. Buddy jumps are used to take away a home run or a deep fly ball. Buddy throws are used to throw the ball faster and more accurate to its destination. Bad chemistry, however, results in slower throws, and sometimes throwing off track. | |||
==Items== | |||
===Error Items=== | |||
There are a total of seven items that are available during the course of ''Mario Super Sluggers'' gameplay. If the on-deck batter has Chemistry with the batter at the plate, a randomly-selected item can be used to inhibit fielders by aiming the Wii Remote immediately after hitting the ball. In [[Toy Field]], items work the same way but are chosen by a roulette wheel. These are as follows: | |||

| | |When the POW-Ball hits the ground, any players (including the user's team) within a large radius are stunned by an earthquake for about four seconds. Characters who levitate or fly are not affected by the quake. This can also be avoided by timing a jump. If the POW-Ball directly hits an individual fielder, they are knocked away and the quake effect does not occur. | ||

After Daisy countered Mario's pitched ball, the scenery immediately changes as the ball is chased after by Toad in the [[Peach Ice Garden]] until he runs into a large [[Freezie]] and turns frozen solid upon collision. He is later freed by a [[Toad (species)|Blue Toad]] who accidentally crashes into the Freezie (with Toad revealing that he made the catch after being defrosted). 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 [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] to catch the ball, realizing he is going to fall, he flutters around, but falls in with the ball; all while [[Birdo]] watches and does nothing. The ball flies to [[Diddy Kong]] at [[DK Jungle (baseball stadium)|DK Jungle]], he suddenly screams in terror as he is about to get run over by a giant barrel, when [[Donkey Kong]] rescues Diddy Kong by smashing it.

Fans of the sport or those who enjoyed previous Mario sports titles should find enough here for an entertaining time. Namco have included quite a lot of extras, no doubt to compensate for the slight lack of depth in gameplay which is of no fault of the game but more the sport it tries to represent. Mario Super Sluggers is a well produced game which squeezes everything it can out of the genre.'' | ||

=== | ===Close play camera lock=== | ||
During close plays, if both the baseperson and the runner are rendered incapacitated during the special animation (i.e. [[Enlarge]]), the camera will remain fixated on the base until the next at-bat. This probably occurs because the game relies on the close play to finish uninterrupted to change the camera. This glitch can be achieved by pre-firing a [[POW Block|POW Ball]].<ref>[https://youtube.com/watch/KZJ4uEg8ni4 Close play camera lock]</ref> | |||

===DK's face appearing differently during replays=== | |||
When [[Donkey Kong]] uses the [[Barrel Swing]], he will show a neutral expression on his face, but if it is seen during a replay, he will show an angry expression instead.<ref>[https://youtu.be/dqT9XwpDoJs?si=XT1o9PhdaEln3KTK DK's face appearing differently during replays]</ref> | |||
