Mario Superstar Baseball review:5 stars (Batman and Robin's opinion on mario super star baseball) - Hi,it's Robin again. Batman and I thought that this game wuz awsome. It is more than baseball,characters have special powers and you can play at stadiums with obstecls. Batman will tell you about them,
Hola, it is Batman again. In Mario stadium there are no obstecles. In Peach garden there are boxes in mid-air and if the ball bounces on them it will bounce. In Yoshi park there are pirhana plants that will bite. In Wario palace there are tornados and chomp chains that move the ball. In D.K. jungle there are barlles and claptraps.5 stars (Simplistic Bliss) - While many believe that the simplictity of this game is it's downfall, I for one think that it is what makes the game so darn fun. I ussualy wasn't one to play too many baseball sims as they got too complex or tedious but this game is just right for me and all of you others like me who think baseball is kind of a slow game. All your favorite carachters are here and thensome. We have Mario, Wario, Peach etc. but we also have some obscurities like King Toadstool and Trixie Kong. Each carachter has their own specialty (other than balanced players i.e. Mario, Power players are good at hitting hard and pitching hard and fast but tend to be slow runners. Speed players tend to be good fielders and baserunners but average hitters and pitchers. Then there are technique players which as far as I can tell excell in pitching and are ok at everything else. Each player also has their own star power that when tapped into allows the player to hit or pitch with cool powers like a flame ball for Mario. That isn't the only piece of Mario flavor that finds itself in the game. Every field has it's own obstacle that is ussualy a staple in the series such as piranha plants that eat and spit out your ball. This game has the full range of modes but nothing really worth talking about. Over all this is a great great game for those of you looking for a simple fun sports game or a young baseball fan who wants a video game that is easy to play. Caution though, baseball purists will probably be turned off by this games simplicity and ablitity for games to end in a tie. Another annoyance is the announcer who has a kind of annoying voice but those gripes really aren't big enough to hurt the score. 5 stars.5 stars (Great Game) - As the pitch is on its way, this game is on its way to greatness. By far the best Mario game yet, the graphics are as good as ever and so is the fun. Mario Baseball (MB) follows all the correct baseball rules, except for the added obstacles, which do not appear at Mario stadium. The only thing that I don't agree with about the obstacles are the musical note boxes at Peach Garden. If you hit the top of one, the ball will bounce out of the park. There are several different fields but if you want to play clean, hard baseball, play at Mario Stadium. Another good thing about this game is that the skills are spread evenly amongst the players, nobody being good at everything, nobody being good at nothing. None of the mini-games are especially fun but the one that I reccomend is barrel batter. Challenge mode is a one player mode where you can buy power bats and things like that to play better. You also play other characters teams, the only downside to this is that you don't get to choose your team and you get a lot of one character. Toy Field is a fun way to play with friends. You compete with up to 4 people for the most coins. During a real game you will see on one side of the screen a small thing(that is the only word that I can describe it with) has several orange dots. Just to give you a hint when you are pitching or batting if you want to use a star hold the R lever then, still holding R, press A, if you want results every time, do it when you are pitching. All of the stadiums include Mario Stadium (no obstacles), Peach Garden, Yoshi Park, Wario Palace, and DK jungle (all have obstacles). If you like baseball, action, Mario games, or pretty much any video games you will most likely like this game alot, it is fun to play by yourself and with your friends. |
