Mario Super Sluggers is the last time Nintendo really tried with a Mario sports game, which is pretty sad. I bet the next Mario baseball game would have like 3 maps and 10 characters.
Another fantastic video from one of my favourite gaming content creators. A lot of this stuff are things I didn't know. Most of the JPN differences are also present in Superstar Baseball. Perfect hits being "Just Meet", Dark Bones being "Bloody Karon", and even Catherine's selection audio seem to be directly lifted. The alternate selection animations also seem to be holdovers from Superstar besides Peach who has an additional animation attached to her old Superstar animation, in addition to a complete new one. I also didn't know the community datamined trajectory RNG. It's pretty obvious someone like Petey bats better than someone like Bowser despite having a lower power stat, and its cool to see we now know why. That information's an absolute gamechanger, and can really shake up the meta as to who the real "best hitters" are.
Yeah there’s a lot of stuff that goes into hits that aren’t on the sweetspot, definitely a lot that can be found from that but I don’t think anyone has done a deep dive yet
Also cool to know that all that stuff was in ssb too, there’s some more holdovers that I didn’t even include in the vid, like dry bones’ icon being from ssb
Wow I barely knew 25! Does this qualify me as the unofficial P5? Jokes aside this is a great video worth the wait. What a great collection of facts and weird trivia to a criminally underrated game! Nice work to everyone involved. Hope we can make more progress in the future and discover even more crazy stuff about this weird game!
@@PHDDude13 Yeah, that is what I am afraid of as well. It will release with barebones content, oversimplified mechanics, and new content will eventually release slowly over a few months.
Another thing that's interesting in this game is that most homerun power-hitters(Meaning Wario and Birdo aren't included) bat one-handed. The one exception is Wiggler, which is pretty interesting, considering Jake said in the character ranking video that Wiggler doesn't really have the 'oomph' that most homerun power-hitters have.
I know about 20-ish of these facts. Take into consideration that I play Mario Super Sluggers somewhat often on my Wii and that I don't play competitive or with mods. It's nice to see trivia videos like these.
This game is my favorite in the Mario Sports series and it's amazing seeing it's community discover so many things I never knew about. Keep up the great work!
3:09 I actually have a (niche) use for this. If you’re batting as Peach, about to use your star swing, but there’s a girl on only one side, send it to the other. It’s niche and specific, but not impossible to happen
I think Waluigi having the worst charge swing with a stat of 1 is rather strange. Because when you time it right, he has a 6 to 8 frame window to hit a home run, but a cutscene home run with him is only a 2 or 3 frame window
Now that I think about it a little more here are some other quirks about his batting: When a charge swing is not at red dot charged, it is possible to hit a cutscene home run on the very last frame before it becomes a dot - the only other characters capable of this are Bowser, Toad, and Monty Mole. When facing a tired pitcher, Waluigi’s star swing is more likely to reach the outfield when hit towards second base; normally it won’t. When Waluigi’s charge swing is maxed out it (just before the red dot disappears) is the only swing in the game that can cause a pop up to the catcher (bunts aren’t swings). When pitching to Waluigi, and his charge swing is overcharged, that is the only time he can hit a home run as a COM. But it’s a very specific time during the overcharge.
This video is amazing, as someone who thought I knew most everything there was to know about sluggers, this video is something I truly enjoyed! This is amazing!
I knew a lot of these but I've been subbed and binged all the vids for a while. Banger video, loved learning. Can't wait to buy a Wii again (I sold mine) to play once more.
14:25 just an fyi béisbol is pronounced fairly similarly to baseball. kinda like "bayze bowl".(think how soccer is called football/ futbol and how that's pronounced). and yes, it does just mean baseball in Spanish. great video
I swear every copy of Mario sluggers is unique. I’ve had bad-chemistry laser throws from K Rook in center to DK at home. It’s incredibly rare but it has a grey trail instead of the normal orange one
@@MarioSluggersFanclub love your videos just wanted to mention that. But the way the computer reacts while watching different people play is different for everyone. I like the idea of a unique copy for every person
Have you guys seen the Bowser pickoff cheese? If he has chemistry with first (and sometimes second base), some of the runners' sliding animations are too slow and it's an instant-out even if they're not stealing. I think it's a combination of bowser's arm, quick turn, and lack of playtesting
I just tested the A and B manipulating the way your ball goes in the outfield and it didn't look like it had any correlation to which way it went. I used Pianta in Practice mode
Wow I only knew around 20 goes to show how dedicated y’all are to know these. I only knew about funky kongs delayed music glitch but I didn’t know toadsworths and peaches and now I can’t unsee peaches
I’m being so serious, not talking about your characters literally being made of tar at 7:55 was so immersion breaking. I actually had to rewind the clip 6 times to figure out what the fuck a gooper blooper was.
@ yeah I figured you put it in to troll lol. Honestly very funny. Great video over all I was genuinely shocked at half of the things in the video and I have played this game way too much.
I realized I forgot to comment on this lol... But anyway, I've played this game since 2012 and I NEVER knew you could get a homer with Mario or Bowser Jr's star swings💀
Has anyone ever encountered Wiggler and the Toads batting charge animation glitches. Wiggler shoes teeth and the Toads have sparkly eyes and an open mouth. I can't remember if there's one for Petey as well
Actually the laser beam not being infected my bad chem is wrong I played a game with k rool at left and I think Dixie at catcher and k rool threw it away bc of bad chem but idk
Check out Mario.sluggers.com, there’s a whole modding section there! There’s also a lot of them in our discord server, and if you want a specific one you can ask in there. They’re all designed for dolphin use.
If two players have bad chem, there’s a chance their throws to each other will be off the mark. So it’s not a huge deal but it can hurt your fielding if you aren’t careful
We have a new Mario Fanclub channel! www.youtube.com/@supermariofanclub00
This video has been under construction for over 2 years so please give it a thumbs up! You're the best!
every time i feel like u guys covered everything, but theres so much more still to discover
@@cogi4829fr
Glad this game still gets talked about in 2023 :-D
great job boys, another absolute banger!
2???

Neat. Despite growing up with this game and playing it religiously back in elementary school, I’m surprised that I only knew a small handful of these
wild mawdewile appearance?!
Of course. One does not simply pass up Sluggers content
lol@@mawdewile

#51 Mario Baseball 3 will never release
If it does it'll go down the route of being modern and not as fun like the other recent Mario Sports games
@@PHDDude13 Yeah, that is what I am afraid of as well. It will release with barebones content, oversimplified mechanics, and new content will eventually release slowly over a few months.
Great video! These facts are very interesting, especially the obscure ones, and you presented them really well

The one exception is Wiggler, which is pretty interesting, considering Jake said in the character ranking video that Wiggler doesn't really have the 'oomph' that most homerun power-hitters have.
Phenomenal vid. I only knew like 8 of these which is more than I thought I would know.
I know about 20-ish of these facts.
Take into consideration that I play Mario Super Sluggers somewhat often on my Wii and that I don't play competitive or with mods.
It's nice to see trivia videos like these.
I love the chemistry facts. As you may remember from that Reddit thread I'm obsessed with the chemistry system lmao
Got exactly 15, knowing most of 50 came in clutch
This game is my favorite in the Mario Sports series and it's amazing seeing it's community discover so many things I never knew about. Keep up the great work!

I came in expecting to know most of these but surprisingly didnt know a bunch! Great video!
We need a new Mario baseball game!
Just discovered you guys! I love that you're still keeping this game alive in our hearts! Keep up the good work!
I knew few of these! Also I love the recent use of Mario Sports mix Music!!

This is incredible!!
Also for number 31, the chance time was supposed to be the chance time for toy field.
Really?? How do you know?
Subscribed. Glad to be part of the Mario sluggers community
This video is amazing, as someone who thought I knew most everything there was to know about sluggers, this video is something I truly enjoyed! This is amazing!
13:20 gee I wonder who pointed that out
Shoutout saandwich
POV I return 7 months later
Great Video! I’ve Only Played This Game a Little Number of Times, Can’t Wait to Play It Again When I Go Back to Hawaii in New Year’s
I knew a lot of these but I've been subbed and binged all the vids for a while. Banger video, loved learning. Can't wait to buy a Wii again (I sold mine) to play once more.
Will claim my spot before this goes viral
Here before it turns 1 years old
14:25 just an fyi béisbol is pronounced fairly similarly to baseball. kinda like "bayze bowl".(think how soccer is called football/ futbol and how that's pronounced). and yes, it does just mean baseball in Spanish.
great video
Ah, thanks for the info!
The game not showing bad chemistry on the select screen always annoyed me
Why do I feel like that line for Birdo saying Catherine, I feel like I’ve heard that before
And I thought ChizPlays was the keeping this game alive..
I probably played story mode ~20 times as a kid and I never noticed the peach thing
I swear every copy of Mario sluggers is unique. I’ve had bad-chemistry laser throws from K Rook in center to DK at home. It’s incredibly rare but it has a grey trail instead of the normal orange one
No you're right, I made a mistake with that
@@MarioSluggersFanclub love your videos just wanted to mention that. But the way the computer reacts while watching different people play is different for everyone. I like the idea of a unique copy for every person
Played this game so much as a kid
Have you guys seen the Bowser pickoff cheese? If he has chemistry with first (and sometimes second base), some of the runners' sliding animations are too slow and it's an instant-out even if they're not stealing. I think it's a combination of bowser's arm, quick turn, and lack of playtesting
Yes, we actually had to ban it in our tournament since it's so broken! I think you can also do it with other characters but I haven't tested it
I just tested the A and B manipulating the way your ball goes in the outfield and it didn't look like it had any correlation to which way it went. I used Pianta in Practice mode
Weird, maybe practice mode doesn't work with it. When I've tried in story mode it definitely works but it can be hard to notice without savestates.
dude I didn’t even know daisy cruiser was in this game???? what???
Oh btw, when yall get to the end of the video, #1 yellow choad has 10/10 power
13:41 I’ve gotten bad chemistry throwing to bowser with k rool trust me it’s a thing
you was right, i was wrong
Wow I only knew around 20 goes to show how dedicated y’all are to know these. I only knew about funky kongs delayed music glitch but I didn’t know toadsworths and peaches and now I can’t unsee peaches
I remember seeing #41 each time as a kid and I never knew who that was 👍
This video was made for me lmao i love random nintendo facts
Worth the wait!
Hey how’d u get that field in the beginning never seen it!
Man I need to play this game again!
I’m being so serious, not talking about your characters literally being made of tar at 7:55 was so immersion breaking. I actually had to rewind the clip 6 times to figure out what the fuck a gooper blooper was.
I know, I was angry that the only clip I had was with that mod, I was gonna explain it but I found it funnier to put without context lol
@ yeah I figured you put it in to troll lol. Honestly very funny. Great video over all I was genuinely shocked at half of the things in the video and I have played this game way too much.
how did i never know about hitting A for right and B for left
It's so random that you would never know to do it
You forgot to also mention that the train in Yoshi park the engine during the day is a pink Yoshi and at night its Wiggler
What program do you use to access the game files and custom fields?
You’ll have to ask the modders in the discord about that!
I realized I forgot to comment on this lol...
But anyway, I've played this game since 2012 and I NEVER knew you could get a homer with Mario or Bowser Jr's star swings💀
good video I didnt know alot of this stuff the only thing that stood out to me was the dinger starwings
"So there's the erasure of all the black characters" What💀
Great Video
Has anyone ever encountered Wiggler and the Toads batting charge animation glitches. Wiggler shoes teeth and the Toads have sparkly eyes and an open mouth. I can't remember if there's one for Petey as well
Never seen those
Actually the laser beam not being infected my bad chem is wrong I played a game with k rool at left and I think Dixie at catcher and k rool threw it away bc of bad chem but idk
You’re right! Discovered later that that fact was incorrext
yo wait 47 is my screenshot LOL
this is late but nice video, nice video to watch while eating dinner👍
Whats the best place to find mods for this game? Also do they work on dolphin?
Check out Mario.sluggers.com, there’s a whole modding section there! There’s also a lot of them in our discord server, and if you want a specific one you can ask in there. They’re all designed for dolphin use.
Toads are high 👍 (lol)
This is awesome!!!
Banger video
Happy Belated Becket!
Thanks!!
What happened to the character models for #24 lmao
That was a mod that made every model look really corrupted, it’s the only footage I have of the blooper thing lol
Dope vid
knew ~30!
Incredible video hope it gets pushed out by youtube
I knew 60 of them
What does bad chemistry do?
If two players have bad chem, there’s a chance their throws to each other will be off the mark. So it’s not a huge deal but it can hurt your fielding if you aren’t careful
I knew 11
Plz make one for the switch!!!!! Plz!!
W
IM A TRUE SLUGGERS FINATIC!!!!!!
Great video
