Baby Luigi Okay, so Baby Luigi's trapped on a platform in the ocean, but you can't reach him because of the closed bridge.

So all you need to do is score two more points to win! The easiest way to complete this challenge is to simply use a Star Swing – since the CPU likely won't catch it in time, you should be able to score at least two points! Afterward, Baby Mario will join your team, and you'll be awarded the Sea Hut key.Blue Pianta A Pianta has been locked inside his own shop – how cruel! If you defeated Bowser Jr., you should now the key to the locked Sea Hut, on the east side. Interact with the door to play a mini-game to unlock it.

As soon as the batter hits the ball, shake the Wii Remote like crazy to run toward the ball as fast as you can – as soon as you get close, press 'A' to extend Yoshi's tongue and hopefully snag it from the sky. It may take you a few tries to get the exact distance down, but thankfully you only have to grab it 3/10 times to succeed.

Gameplay[edit]

The gameplay of Mario Super Sluggers is similar to that of its predecessor; the main difference being the controls, with the Wii Remote adding immersion using a control scheme similar to the baseball sub-game in Wii Sports.^[1] There are three control methods available: Wii Remote by itself, Wii Remote and Nunchuk, and the Wii Remote held sideways.

Reception[edit]

Mario Super Sluggers received mixed to positive reviews. The lack of online play was a generally major factor in the reviews. GameRankings gave it a score of 69.72%,^[2] while Metacritic gave it 69 out of 100.^[3]

The game was nominated for the 2009 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards for Favorite Video Game,^[15] in which it lost to Guitar Hero World Tour.^[16]

Promotion[edit]

As part of the North American marketing launch, Nintendo created a series of collectible online cards along with a website that served as a virtual collector's album. The site promises that the series will include a card for each of the 41 characters featured in Mario Super Sluggers.

The cards began appearing in banner ads on popular children websites on August 18, 2008, but have since begun to appear as embedded hyperlinks in other, less obvious locations. Mario Super Sluggers Cards have been found on other sites, such as YouTube.

When the Seattle Mariners played the New York Yankees on September 5, 2008, the game was promoted there at Safeco Field.^[17] The first 20,000 fans received special Mario Super Sluggers foam mitts. There were also two booths with the game demo, and Mario Super Sluggers Cards were also passed out there. Every inning, someone was randomly chosen to win a Wii system along with the game. Whenever a home run or a good play happened, the Safeco Field video screen showed a gameplay clip with Mario, Luigi, or Bowser. A Mario mascot also appeared before the game with the Mariners' mascot, the Moose, but left after the first inning. Nintendo of America's offices are based in the Seattle area, and was the majority owner of the Mariners at the time of the game's release (hence the promotion).
