Pitch a Curving Banana Ball or Power up to Knock One Out of the Park

Joe DiMaggio may be the greatest hitter of all time, but would he have been able to hit one of Bowser’s somersaulting Bullet Bills? Even the greats from America’s favorite pastime wouldn’t have a glimmer of hope against a crew from the Marioâ„¢ universe – the true baseball champions.

“Play ball” Aug. 29 with the launch of Mario Superstar Baseballâ„¢ for Nintendo GameCubeâ„¢. Players choose their captains from more than 20 beloved characters in the Mario universe, including Peach, Daisy, Yoshiâ„¢, Birdo, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Warioâ„¢ and Waluigi, who all have a unique Star Skill that allows them to perform a special move while pitching or batting.

Donkey Kong® doesn’t feel the need for a bat and simply uses his boxing glove to punch the ball out of the stadium. Watch out for Mario and Luigi’s fireball pitches that light on fire or have Diddy Kong® throw the almost unhittable, curving banana ball. Rated E for Everyone, Mario Superstar Baseball is great for family fun. The sparkling character personalities yield a highly entertaining game for both children and adults.
