Mario Superstar Baseball/Characters

This page will give information on each captain's characters in challenge mode, their skill levels, and their star skills and special ability.

Classifications and Special Abilities

Classifications

• Balance: A balance player has an equal ability in all categories
• Technique: A technique player is either good at pitching or fielding
• Speed: A speed player is... fast.
• Power: A power player is a good hitter, but is generally not very fast.

Special Abilities

There are ten main special abilities:

• Wall Jump: The player jumps against the wall and leaps into the air. This needs perfect timing, so it is generally not very useful.
• Super Jump: The player jumps high into the air. Most players with this ability can fly.
• Super Catch: Players with this ability do not make errors.
• Sliding Catch: The player slides to make a catch.
• Body Check: The hardest to execute, the player slams into an opponent covering a base to reach safely. It is also the only ability usable on offense.
• Quick Throw: The player throws the ball the instant she catches it.
• Ball Dash: While in possession of the ball, the player runs faster than normal.
• Clamber: The player can climb walls.
• Tongue Catch/Suction/Magical Catch: The player is able to reach balls that are normally uncatchable by using its tongue, sucking it in with its snout, or casting a magical spell on it.
• Laser Beam: The fielder throws the ball faster to home plate if there is a play to home.
