Mario Super Sluggers, known in Japan as Super Mario Stadium Family Baseball (スーパーマリオスタジアム ファミリーベースボール Sūpā Mario Sutajiamu Famirī Bēsubōru?), is a sports video game for the Wii developed by Namco Bandai Games and Now Production, and published by Nintendo. It was previously known by the working title Super Mario Stadium Baseball. It is part of the Mario sports series, and the sequel to Mario Superstar Baseball for the GameCube. Mario Super Sluggers was released in Japan on June 19, 2008 and in North America on August 25, 2008. It was not released in Europe and Australia, due to being in production at the same time as Mario Kart Wii, resulting in a limited release of this game, although an issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine has stated a Summer 2009 release, but it never happened. The game was later re-released in North America for $19.99 as part of the Nintendo Selects range.
Mario Super Sluggers features game modes that are similar to those of Mario Superstar Baseball.
The player can choose a captain and which eight players to have on a team. The number of innings can be chosen, and which field position the players are on. The player can choose which one of the nine stadiums to play on, as long as it's unlocked.
The player starts as Mario and must recruit all the characters. This is also where to unlock all characters and stadiums. The plot of this mode is that Bowser Jr. is taking over the ball parks and he took over the princess in Peach Ice Garden.
