'''Chemistry''' is a new feature in the [[Mario (series)|Mario]] sports titles that is so far exclusive to ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. It extensively sparks the relationships between the different characters in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] and puts them to good use. Good chemistry occurs when a player throws a ball to his/her buddy, the ball travels faster than a normal throw would; it would glow purple and leave a purple trail, and the character throwing the ball would cry out happily. Chemistry's uses are even more useful because a player hits better when one of his/her buddies are on base; they'll hit even better if two or three of the character's buddies are on base. Positive chemistry is symbolized by a musical note.

'''Chemistry''' is a feature in the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]]. It refers to how well characters get along, which affects how well they work together. An example of good chemistry is when a character throws the ball to their buddy, the ball travels faster than normal, glows purple, and leaves a purple trail. The character who throws the ball also emits a happy sound while throwing. Chemistry is also useful in batting because a character hits better when one of their buddies is on base (and they will hit even better if two or three of their buddies are on base). Good chemistry is referenced by a musical note.
   
   
Unfortunately, there is also bad chemistry which is obviously in contrast to good chemistry. When a character throws the ball to another character he or she has problems with or just doesn't like, the ball travels much slower and in a slanted direction than where the ball was directed to. Bad chemistry is symbolized by a black squiggly line that resembles a tornado and the character throwing the ball would cry unhappily. Luckily, if a character that has bad chemistry with the one who's batting will not affect him/her. Bad chemistry will nearly always result in a messed up play and allowing the opposing team to score and/or advance on the bases.  
There is also bad chemistry, which is in contrast to good chemistry. When a character throws the ball to another character with whom they share bad chemistry, the ball travels much slower and in a slanted direction from where the ball was directed. The throwing character also emits an unhappy noise while throwing the ball. Bad chemistry is referenced by a black squiggly line that resembles a tornado. Bad chemistry will nearly always result in a messed-up play which allows the opposing team to score and/or advance on the bases. Unlike good chemistry, bad chemistry only occurs in the field and does not occur all the time.


In the Story mode there is an item called the ''Buddy Emblem'' that improves chemistry relations, so that nearly everyone on the team will have good chemistry with each other.  
In the Challenge Mode of both games, there is an item called the Buddy Emblem that improves chemistry relations, so that nearly everyone on the team will have good chemistry with each other.


Chemistry returns in the sequel game ''[[ Mario Super Sluggers]]''.
There exist chemistry tables in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' which determine the above features and more. Each character has a chemistry value, from 0 to 100, with every other character in the game. 90 and above indicates good chemistry, whereas 15 and below indicates bad chemistry. These values are also used in calculating Team Stars pre-game. The game will average each player's chemistry with the captain and convert the average to Team Stars.<ref>{{cite|url=docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRVUxlpm8jj8FLNfboz9j5kwCtw5I6NcTiWvOyHVa85gNaszOTFL-TPxAMlwr29eEUqXkn6e5NLygEF/pubhtml?gid=1560396594&single=true|title=Color-coded spreadsheet of the in-game chemistry tables|publisher=Google Docs|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</ref> The key is as follows (x̄ = average captain chemistry):

**Bowser's good and bad chemistry with Baby Mario and Paratroopa is swapped.
**Wario's bad and neutral chemistry with Baby Mario and Pianta is swapped.
**Bowser Jr. is listed as having bad chemistry with Pianta (this is true in ''Mario Super Sluggers'').
*In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Baby Peach and Bowser are tied for having good chemistry with the highest number of characters (including alternate colors) at seventeen. Bowser also has bad chemistry with the highest number of characters (including alternate colors) at sixteen.
*The Kritters, Wario, and Waluigi are tied for having the least amount of good chemistry in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' with them having good chemistry with only Miis of their color and one other character (King K. Rool for the Kritters; Wario and Waluigi for each other).
*Diddy Kong is the only character in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' not to have chemistry with any Miis.

Mario Superstar Baseball
Mario has positive chemistry with Luigi, marked with a ♪ symbol in a pink speech bubble

Chemistry is a feature in the Mario Baseball series. It refers to how well characters get along, which affects how well they work together. An example of good chemistry is when a character throws the ball to their buddy, the ball travels faster than normal, glows purple, and leaves a purple trail. The character who throws the ball also emits a happy sound while throwing. Chemistry is also useful in batting because a character hits better when one of their buddies is on base (and they will hit even better if two or three of their buddies are on base). Good chemistry is referenced by a musical note.

There is also bad chemistry, which is in contrast to good chemistry. When a character throws the ball to another character with whom they share bad chemistry, the ball travels much slower and in a slanted direction from where the ball was directed. The throwing character also emits an unhappy noise while throwing the ball. Bad chemistry is referenced by a black squiggly line that resembles a tornado. Bad chemistry will nearly always result in a messed-up play which allows the opposing team to score and/or advance on the bases. Unlike good chemistry, bad chemistry only occurs in the field and does not occur all the time.

In the Challenge Mode of both games, there is an item called the Buddy Emblem that improves chemistry relations, so that nearly everyone on the team will have good chemistry with each other.

There exist chemistry tables in Mario Superstar Baseball which determine the above features and more. Each character has a chemistry value, from 0 to 100, with every other character in the game. 90 and above indicates good chemistry, whereas 15 and below indicates bad chemistry. These values are also used in calculating Team Stars pre-game. The game will average each player's chemistry with the captain and convert the average to Team Stars.[1] The key is as follows (x̄ = average captain chemistry):

  • 5 star team: x̄ ≥ 70
  • 4 star team: 70 > x̄ ≥ 55
  • 3 star team: 55 > x̄ ≥ 35
  • 2 star team: 35 > x̄ ≥ 15
  • 1 star team: 15 > x̄ > 0
  • 0 star team: x̄ = 0 (occurs with a team of 9 of the same character; only possible with cheats)

Trivia[edit]

  • The instruction booklet from Mario Superstar Baseball has several errors regarding chemistry. Some of them include the following:
    • Bowser's good and bad chemistry with Baby Mario and Paratroopa is swapped.
    • Wario's bad and neutral chemistry with Baby Mario and Pianta is swapped.
    • Bowser Jr. is listed as having bad chemistry with Pianta (this is true in Mario Super Sluggers).
  • In Mario Super Sluggers, Baby Peach and Bowser are tied for having good chemistry with the highest number of characters (including alternate colors) at seventeen. Bowser also has bad chemistry with the highest number of characters (including alternate colors) at sixteen.
  • The Kritters, Wario, and Waluigi are tied for having the least amount of good chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers with them having good chemistry with only Miis of their color and one other character (King K. Rool for the Kritters; Wario and Waluigi for each other).
  • Diddy Kong is the only character in Mario Super Sluggers not to have chemistry with any Miis.
