This game just really didn't catch me to really liking it. I mean it's great that you can unlock SO mnay things and be every single player in MARIO HISTORY (and i'm not joking). This game has many crazy boards that can get annoying like Wario's. This game also has minigames which are sometimes BETTER than game! This game has powser ups for the MAIN players like Mario (fire ball) Waligi (liar ball) Bower Jr (bullet Ball)and many more. The weridest player are (goomba, Kemek, petey pirana (unlock him)adn others are strange in there own way. I really couldn't say wether you should buy this game or not, it all depends on how you would like a kinda slow moving baseball game.

This game is the best Gamecube game that I have! Wait! I have to tell you my name and age. My name is Dominic DeVetis and I am [...]. Why I think this is the best game ever! is because I like hitting the ball when i'm batting and I like pitching and catching the baseball. You can do a Star Swing and a Star Pitch.{Only with a Captian} This game is so fun. My mom and dad bought this game for me for my birthday. I rented this game before. When I opened my present and I saw the game, I was so SURPRISED! I love the game so much!
A fun "Mario-style" game with some real baseball packed into it!

Mario Superstar Baseball is not only fun but challenging. It is easy to beat the other teams in the game, but hard to perfect your skills as a player. The characters that you can play as are very unique and are classified according to skills, which makes picking your team easy. I really love MSB, and am very glad that a game following all the baseball rules came out with such fun players!

This game was fun at first but not fun enough to keep me playing.
Pros: 1)Easy controls 2)Good graphics 3) Lots of characters from the Mario Series
Cons: 1) Feilding can be difficult 2)Your players are stupid when it comes to base running 3)The game is repetative 4)HItting and pitching controls can be too simple
Either Way: 1)Obsticles in the feild can make the game random instead of skill. Sometimes it works in you favor during crucial games.
Conclusion: 7/10
I would recommed renting this game but not buying it.
It is good

I have to admit, these Mario games are fun, but who would want to spend $50 on a game that will never be played again in 2-3 years. I guess I am one of those people. But for the people that want this game, and I mean really want this game, here is a good review.
The GOOD THINGS about this game:
The fields- There are many selections of fields that you can play on, even if it is your first time. The fields in the beginning include a Mario field, Peach field, Wario field, Yoshi field, and a DK field. They all are different, interesing, and cool in many ways.
The selection of players- There are many new people included in this game. Some of the players were from other games which includes Super Mario Sunshine. What amazed me was how many players there were that you can start with. I mean you can play a game when you first get on.
The graphics- You know that the Gamecube doesn't have as good as graphics as the Xbox and PS2, but now overtime, the graphics on some Mario games have really improved. Mario Golf was so-so for the Gamecube, but now the graphics are great for Mario Superstar Baseball.
Options to play- Instead of just play a game and a adventure, there are many other things to do instead. Toy field is when you are in a dome with 4 other different players (human or CPU). On the field there are big buttons on the field, whatever the ball lands on you get points. It is pretty complicated at first, but it gets easier. Another thing is the minigames. In the beginning, there are 5 minigames to start out with, and there is at least one more you can get. But they are also fun!
The BAD THINGS about this game:
The fielding- In the field, it is so easy to catch a ball. It may be good for the fielders, but when you are up, it is tough. No one catches the ball all of the time.
First starters- When you get home and put the game into the Gamecube and you are ready to start a game, usually the first words would be "How do I do this," or "I don't get it." There are so many conrols that you don't know what to do. Now, I have had it for a few months, so I know.
OVERALL- I say this game is alright. I say it is too much money.
Great Game.........with some flaws

This is a really great game, with some mediocre graphics and sound though. I LOVE this game (I haven't gotten tired of it even when I got it for Easter) This game can be a little tricky with the fielding and baserunning, but overall it is incredibly fun and exciting. There can be some great parts about the game. You can choose from thirty-two characters and six fields. The fields (except for Mario Stadium) have their own crazy features. Peach Stadium has Hidden Blocks, which balls can bounce off of, Wario Stadium has Tornadoes, which make the ball whirl around in the air and make it fly off in another direction......etc. This game can be very intense at some point though. It can become frustrating as well. What makes the game interesting is the way that each pitcher and batter have their own special pitches and hits. The player can choose from 12 team captains, which each have a special hit and pitch (D.K has a banana ball hit and a banana curving pitch). Unfortunately with this game, there are some pretty big flaws. First of all, if a ball is hit between outfielders, the control switches between the two out fielders, making them both arrive after the ball has hit the ground at the same time, giving the hitter an extra run. Second, The players have way too fast of reactions (If someone hits a ball really quickly at the third or first baseman, they will almost always catch it), which gets incredibly frustrating. Finally, the people in the outfield are way too good. (Bowser, who is probably the worst fielder in the game, will make every 8 or 9 out of 10 catches. It they are going to be bad, make them REALLY bad. Also, it is confusing how Goomba and Monty Mole are so fast when they have the ball. When these two get the ball, they take off like a rocket (Monty Mole got a double play by tagging out my man going to first and my runner going home). That got annoying. Enough with the bad. I think that this game is incredible for its creativity and gameplay. This game is great.
Mario Baseball, safe or out?

Mario Baseball is fortunately safe but only because it was a tie. Sure it has all the elements a good game needs but some of the stuff in here is so annoying. It has all the main Mario characters with some side ones such as Goomba, Paratroopa, and a lot of other ones. The hitting system has no targeting system, which means that all you have to care about is the timing and where the batter is standing. The pitcher only controls the speed of the ball and where it goes. The game has all kinds of wacky things such as Chain Chomps in the fields, power shots for fielding and batting such as sending a fireball across the field or pitching a curving bananna across home plate. The baserunning seems like crap at first but it actually works to the extent that you can have your players run and steal when you want them to. Pitching is kind of hard at first but once you get the hang of it, you'll hear the umpire saying "Strike, out!" all the time. Each player has unique abilities in the field such as quick reflexes or making a spectacular diving play. Fielding is so annoying that I just turned it to auto so the comps can do it all for me. Multi-player is only two player for the exhibition but you can do 4 people in mini-games or in toy field. Multi-player in exhibition isn't that fun because it's a race to see who can choose all the good players first such as Bowser who can easily get a homerun every time he hits. They should have a turn based choosing system where one person chooses a guy then the next person chooses a guy and so on and so forth. This has become so bothersome that me and my brother have designated characters(Like he gets Mario and I get Luigi) when we play against each other. Exhibition is a regular baseball game(You can change all sorts of options such as innings,mercy,who hits first, and more) with Chain Chomps and Pirahna plants in the field which can turn a single into a double or triple and possibly even a home run. Challenge is probably the best thing in this game. You choose a team captain who has preselected team members who fit in that team caaptain's world. Such as Yoshi having Shy guys and Mario having Piantas. You play through all the other teams to get ready for the showdown with Bowser. Each game is 3 innings(Except for Bowser's which is 5 innings) and you get people on the other team if you impress them such as finishing the inning with the enemy team using only 3 batters or just getting a plain hit. You can play mini-games along the way to get coins to buy items like the power bat which makes you hit farther. Your players can improve along the way and you can unlock people for exhibition mode if you beat certain difficulties in challenge. Toy field is where each player tries to get the most coins through fielding, batting, and pitching. I don't do this mode that much because the enemies know where the ball is going to go before the batter even hits it while you sit there thinking about where the stupid ball is going to go next. There are a bunch of mini-games from a version of a home run derby to a baserunning coin collector game, each with four difficulties and their own high scores. Practice is a great way to increase your skills with things such as free batting, pitching, fielding, or if you're just wondering how to do stuff in the game. Everything from bunting the ball to throwing a super charge pitch. And you can look at records of exhibition games, challenge, and all the other game modes. Some of the later difficulties such as the last one are kind of rigged so there's no point in even facing them. Even though there are only six fields to play on, this game never seems to get boring (Unless you play like 10 hours a day). Even though it has bad points, it's a great game and a must have.
I love this game

I do not have the game, but The first thing I do when I get to someone that has the games house, I ask assoon as I can "can I play mario super star baseball?" Then I get to play. My favorite piture is wario because I can strike anyone out with him. I even made Mario,DK, and Bowser strike out. If you want I can tell you how I do it. When you select characters you choose wario to be on your team. Then make him be you pitcher after you let your opponent bat first. Then, if the first firson stands on the left side of the base you move your joystick halfway between the bottom and the right side. then you press A rapidly and pitch. If the other teams person stands on the right side of te base, do it vice versa.
