Mario Superstar Baseball

Smash brothers meets slugfest

Strengths: Mario,company, and mini games simple to pick up to become a pro

Weakness: A.I.not too bright,limited ball parks

Mario Baseball offers a number of different gameplay types, including minigames. There's a nice variety of different minigames, each of which can be played with up to four players. One of them is a standard home run derby game, where you try to smack bob-ombs into the sky for points. Another is a baserunning game there you try to collect gems around the basepath while avoiding a chain chomp...

Tons of Fun

Strengths: Neat story mode, fun batting and pitching.

Weakness: Fielding!

Mario Superstar Baseball is a surprisingly good entry into the Mario sports series. The fundamental batter vs pitcher gameplay is engaging, and the story mode (in which you recruit players for a team to take on Bowser) is fun and rewarding. The only weak point is fielding; the players all seem to move too slowly, sometimes resulting in frustration. Otherwise, a highly recommended game.

One of the best mario sports games out there!

Strengths: Very fun to play, lots of characters

Weakness: Cheap AI

I will start off by saying Mario Baseball is one of the best 2 player games out there. You start by picking your captain and then you pick 8 other players to fill positions. Different players have different skills, for example you'll want to put Yoshi in the outfield because he can make catches with his tongue. Also each player has special powers such as throwing a ball thats on fire. You can...

Mario Plays Baseball!

Strengths: Nice graphics, gameplay is decent

Weakness: AI could be better. A true multiplayer option would be great.

What we have here is a mixed bag. This games single player is alright, nothing really awesome but nothing really bad. As for multiplayer, there's only minigames that involve baseball that you and your friends can play. I say if you can find this under $20-$25, then give it a try!

Baseball - Mario Style

Strengths: Nice characters, Music & graphics, Fun multiplayer

Weakness: Lack of locations, Short story mode

This is one of the best Mario sports games out for gamecube. The different Nintendo characters have their own characterstics & it is up to you to play to their strength. The AI can play a little dumb sometimes but it does not take away the fun. There are not many stadiums available & after a while everything may seem repetitive, but the game is pretty addictive. Music is great & the graphics look...

Fantastic party game

Weakness: Little skill required

Mario Superstar Baseball is a fantastic game to play with of a bunch of friends. Even those who have never picked up a game controller can figure out what they need to do very quickly, making for a very level playing field for all involved. Pitching and hitting and fielding the ball are all that's needed to control in this game, base-running and everything else is handled automatically. Highly...

Mario Superstar Baseball

Strengths: Light-hearted arcade baseball fun

Mario Superstar Baseball is another solid Mario-themed arcade sports title. As expected, you can play as one of many premiere Nintendo characters.

While we can fully expect to see a Wii Sports-like sequel for this game on the new Nintendo Wii this Gamecube title...

Mario's Pasttime

Strengths: Mario plays the greatest sport ever.

Weakness: Not as deep as a Major League

Bowser challenges the Italian Man and his friends to beat him. Now you take your team out to face others and get more players to take on the Koopa king. Minigames included as well as tutorials. Six stadiums to play in and 32 different players to choose from. Plus wacky quirks rhat can only be found in a Mario sports game. Not to sound cliched but this games a touchdown. There that wasn't baseball...
