Mario Stupid Sluggers

Mario Stupid Sluggers is a Wii video game developed by Namco Bandai and published by Nintendo. It stars a plethora of Mario video game characters and stages, and makes use of the Wii Remote's motion sensing capabilities coupled with the Wii's internal clock. It is the sequel to Mario Stupidstar Baseball for the Nintendo GameCube, which was initially released in mid-2005. It has 42 playable characters (the most playable characters yet in a Mario game).

It was released in Japan on June 19, 2008 and in North America on August 25, 2008. Like Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stairs, this game was not released in Europe and Australia, due to being in production at the same time as Mario Kart Wii that was released two months earlier, which resulted in a limited release of this game.

Gameplay
Mario Stupid Sluggers features many improvements upon the original and introduces a multitude of modes, characters and stages. A few new characters include various baby versions of developed characters (including Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Daisy), a host of Donkey Kong characters and even your own Mii, among others. The entire game takes place on the Baseball Kingdom, an island that centers completely around the sport the game is based on. It features a total of nine different baseball fields as well as special mini game areas as well. The player can do various things on the over world that couldn't be performed in the prequel.
