used to play this game so much, its super nostalgic

[@Benjawin6671]

I laughed at Yoshi being anywhere but S. Yoshi is clearly the best character in the game being the fastest tied with his pink variant while also having tongue catch and one of if not the best star swings in the game with the only one that's most likely better being DK

[@xbray_1]

100% agree that Yoshi should’ve been placed higher, and there are multiple factors that come into play. i know he isn’t the greatest hitter or pitcher, but he’s an excellent fielder, and i’d say his super is VERY proficient. it’s almost impossible for yoshi not to get on base, or at least in my opinion, and i’ve played for almost 4 years. not to say B is a “bad” tier, but i personally think he should’ve been placed higher.

[@dio696]

@@xbray_1 don't forget that he is pretty much impossible to throw out when he steals.

[@Gmandancer]

if you play with the numchuck, fast players like Monty and the babies actually have some value because they can reliably steal, but without it they are worthless

[@Thelowestofthelowtiers]

That's interesting to point. They could be solid base runners and thanks their close play ability,they can probably extend beyond just one base a maybe nab two.

[@Jammer439y8]

Not to mention Monty Mole gets me the line drives.

[@mr.nerd3.142]

The ability to steal also makes slow pitchers worse because it gives the runners more time to make it to the next base.

I knew a more about this game than I thought as a kids. My teams were basically B-tier and up, I would always have Kritters, Hammer Bros, Magikoopas and Yoshis for easy fielding with a few heavy hitter, obviously I still didn’t understand the chemistry system.

[@Yodiak]

As kid all I did was stack my team with heavy hitters only. Its easy to win games when every character is close to being guarantee a home-run

[@masift1494]

@@Yodiak Legit same, by lineup was without fail, every time: Petey, bowser, bowser Jr, Dry bones, K rool, Kritters, etc. (Like all kritters as fill in or all dry bones) Sometimes I had magic koopa, I always had bowser pitch.

[@daleftuprightatsoldierfield]

I feel like you’re underrating Toadsworth. Yes, he’s not a great fielder or hitter, but used properly he can be great. One of my favorite strategies is to make Toadsworth and Petey Piranha my battery and just randomly switch them to completely throw off my opponent’s timing.

[@Dustinmeierotto]

Toadsworth slander has to stop. This man knows nothing. Your strategy is very clever, he just doesn’t know how to utilize the players strengths

Fun fact: I was stuck on the mission where you have one inning to beat Bowser Jr when he has a 2-0 advantage. I lost ten times because the AI was psychic and always stopped the ball. But just as I wanted to give up, the Blue Kritter hit a home run with all three bases loaded and won the whole game. I have dubbed this savior Kobalt the Kritter.

I’d say this list is solid. I personally do really well with Piantas so I would move them to A tier, and other than that, I think Petey is the best player. However, I agree with the rest

[@nintentwins1867]

14:09 The 3 bros are honestly different enough that they should be mentioned separately. Hammer bro is the balanced one, but his bat relies much more on landing the end of the hammer. Sweet spot sour spot reliant batters can lack consistency, especially vs pitchers with high control. Think characters like King K Rool, Toadsworth, etc. While every bat has a sweet spot, some are much more reliable to land than others. Fire Bro has the most power of the 3, although is weaker in other areas. He uses a standard bat, and is the most consistent batter of the three. Uses a more standard bat. Although getting home runs so consistently is a double edged sword, as buddy catches can catch home run balls. So many home runs can end up being many easy outs vs a skilled fielder. Boomerang Bro used the rang as his bat, but whats noteworthy is that he hits the ball in a curve. While this results on more foul balls than average, it can also make it trickier to catch with both a curve and high speed. Most of the time colors are just slight stat variations, but these three have more to them. I do not think just mentioning solely hammer bro is reliable.

[@masift1494]

Yeah that's very true. I used Fire bro on my team a lot because of his power

[@omb3d80]

Which characters have the best sweet spot?

[@senway9669]

Also Boomerang Bro is a pretty good pitcher compared to the other 2

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

This is a fair point but most of the color alternates are as different from each other as the bros are. It’s why we love red magikoopa but never choose green or yellow. When we refer to “hammer bro” we’re referring to the best version of him, which is fire bro in our opinion.

[@LakeFX]

Peach's star hit doesn't get you a hit if you hit it to a female player in the infield (they are unaffected.) Took a lot of playing to understand why that would happen.

[@t.e.652]

Tip: Pow Balls can actually stun floaters. You need to directly bonk them on the head with the pow ball. Hard to aim, unless it's a fly out. This is also useful in countering infield fly outs or a bunt cheese since a direct pow ball bonk doesn't explode. So, your runners won't be affected. Hopefully this helps you!

I love this game so much. Easily my favorite Wii game, and as someone who's played this game for 8 years, I think every character is fun to play as. If you just learn each character's assets and flaws, they can all be good and valuable assets to your team. And I've gotten a home run with ALL of them at least once. On one last note, when are we getting Mario Baseball for Nintendo Switch?

I usually always played with peach and daisy so that's interesting. I also remember it was really satisfying to use suction catch as birdo or super dive as daisy. I havent played that game in forever lol but I remember that pitching as peach was so fun.

I can't believe there's actually a tier list for this that's cool I loved the video good stuff. 🤩

[@Volxys]

Please reconsider gomba F tier. Ball dash = Op at stopping steals. Same with Noki, nokis are honestly minimum of C Tier. Blue, Yellow, and Purple toad when starred 7 bat op. Blooper is good because of his friends with king boo and petey piranha Also low fielding stats in shortstops honestly help because they pop the ball up making an error allowing for double plays. Wario D tier. 1 friend and star bat is the worst. Easy B dash out. Diddy K D tier. star bat and pitch both very bad and predictable Yoshi B tier... he’s the best character in the game lmao. Starred he has 10 speed. so pretty a free steal every slow pitch strike. He has a tie for the best catching ability. Ignore the bad batting because if you use the star every time he has the best star hit. A automatic single with 1-2 rbi opportunities. After playing so much, daisy and jb star pitch isn’t that good. As long as you draft at least one flying character it is so counterable. i also thought peach was once good, but not sure if your aware, but peach’s star hit isn’t as good as you think. Any girl character including nokis isn’t affected by the love so you can switch them to your shortstops just when she’s up at bat as she won’t be dangerous to get a home run.

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

Thanks for the insight. We don't play with nunchuks, so a lot of the mechanics like stealing give some characters advantages that we wouldn't know about. I highly disagree with diddy at D tier though, he's a great outfielder with great chemistry. I can see the Peach argument, but switching the field depending on the batter slows the game down a lot, so I wouldn't do it. -Becket

[@Volxys]

@@MarioSluggersFanclub that’s fair for peach, but slowing down the game is kind of part of it. When you get 2/3 strikes swap pitcher to use captains star pitch to use 1 instead of 2 stars. Please change to nunchuck, the game becomes so much more skill based. When you first try it out though ban curves on pitching as it’s almost a free strikeout as battling is tough as it doesn’t auto line up. Especially with steals, this bumps noki to B-A tier
