MARIO SLUGGERS TIER LIST [Official 2023 Edition] 

We have a new Mario Fanclub channel! www.youtube.com/@supermariofanclub00

Crazy how like 6 characters are worse at baseball then a mushroom with no arms and mushroom with no arms but has wings

I have had Mario Super Sluggers since roughly 2010, and have only needed to ever use clamber ability about ten or so times.

Becket and Jake really went from the college look, to fancy golfers

I just wanna say, you guys are so cool. I never expected I'd run into a little community that actually cares about this game and discusses it to this day, and you guys were my gateway to that

From what I've seen, Laser Beam only works if a runner is going home.

Can’t wait to see Yoshi, Birdo, and Petey at the top, and Diddy and Toadette and Toadsworth at the bottom

If yellow choad isn’t S tier

Bro it’s 1 year later (may 31 2024 )And This STILL Holds Up

You really can make a tier list of anything.

Man that Baby Peach placement is criminal! I mean... who else are you linking Yoshi with once Birdo, Petey, and Mario get taken? And her star swing's pretty good. Really! Best female pitcher option in the game imo. For Miis, I think Purple is seriously slept on here, and could even see ranking her above Dark Blue. She's basically the only reason Waluigi captain works in standard play. Purple Toad really isn't a big step down from Yoad, and gets you to Piantas who in turn have three fantastic Mii colours to link out with or can just link you into Mario and friends. Plus being Waluigi's only other link option besides Wario is super important. If you're Waluigi captain, I honestly think going Mii -> Purple Toad is straight up better than taking Wario. Great tier list though. Love how the channel's evolved over these past few years. Here's to many more!

19:00 So King K. Rool is the Adam Dunn of Mario Super Sluggers.

I once hit a game winning grand slam with baby Luigi when me and my friends used to always use the baby’s in the outfield and now all of my friends use baby Luigi all the time because they think he’s good😂

Crazy how petey is still so much higher than bowser after the stat leak.

As someone who has been following your channel for the past 2 years, it's nice to see how much your knowledge of the game has improved over time.

Really appreciate all the hard work you guys put into researching and crafting this list, ive been playing this game a long time and yet you still manage to teach me new things about this game, great work guys

I'm not quite in the Sluggers competitive scene, but I can appreciate how calmly and non-lethally you two decided that Funky and DK were a close tie.

This video was very well done. I’m a big fan of the face cam. I also appreciate that the tier list was updated, I thought the previous tier list was good, but it needed polishing, and this video does that perfectly. Keep it up guys. 👍

Baby Luigi unenjoyers eatin good today 😎

Great job. Analysis vids are my fave. Though I couldn't stop looking at the dent on your Yeti mic...

Ok I didn’t expect that spot-on Luigi “oh yeah” in the middle of the vid

Sometimes I forget how deep this game can be. It’s definitely the best Mario Sports game.

Been waiting for this super hyped

This is such a high quality looking setup (Good couch, microphone, high quality camera,) And its all for a tier list based on a videogame from 15 years ago that never even released in europe

The whole funky Kong and Donkey Kong part of the video was fucking hilarious

Thanks for the content homie

Great video! I'm pretty new to the game, so I haven't the slightest idea on a personal tierlist. Though, I cannot NOT put Peach as my best character, after she hit a Yoshi Park Train Homerun (as usual, beginner's luck). Excited for you next videos, keep it up!

I watched the 2021 tier list video this morning this timing is uncanny

Crazy how much different this game is when you play with a nunchuck

Great video! Honestly, I can't argue with this tier list. Good analysis! The proof is in all the literal field testing! 😅

great video!

I just learned the meta for mario super sluggers by watching this

Toad's are monsters and are incredibly versatile.

New relevant tier list lets go

This video is abt to be the most popular on the channel

Ngl birdo hits a lot of home runs for me

Great list but you guys underrate stealing as a mechanic in this game. You can basically get free bases because there is no way for the fielder to throw to anyone in between bases so the runner can get themselves caught in an rundown situation which they can win. I never hear about this talked about on this channel and I am curious about it. It also makes abilities like ball dash really overpowered for a fielder because then a fielder can catch someone stealing a base more easily. This stealing-bases-always strategy used to always be how I would play this game

I’ve only played this casually so I have no idea what to expect. I’m just hoping that Petey Pirahna, Blooper, Monty Mole, and Daisy are decent characters.

this is awesome

just randomly got into this game on the wii and 100% the campaign in like 2 days i have no idea who’s actually good or not and why so i hope this video helps me learn

What’s the best most OP team you can make or do you recommend when it comes to hitting home runs or raw power? And what’s the best team you can make when it comes to fielding?

I have not started this video. I clicked on it because occasionally me and my brother play it against each other and I’m the one who plays smart, and he’s the one who plays with brawn(batting power). I decide to scroll through the comments, and holy moly there is more complexity to this game than I thought. I never played with a nunchuck but maybe I should look into it. Anyway time to watch the video

BABY DAISY S TIER HERE WE GO Edit: Ew D Tier, robbed queen 🙄💅

I know Diddys stats are bad but I swear I dominate with him. His aura is good enough to justify picking him.

Why do I feel like I'm interviewing you

Nice tierlist, nice to see petey in S tier

I recently started playing this game with my friend a lot and toadsworth in both of our opinions felt like an S tier in our eyes for pitching only as it's so slow it felt like it made the ball a lot harder to hit compared to fast pitchers. I don't know if this is because we are both not super good at the game but we are playing on the original Wii on a tv screen

I think Koopa should definitely be a bit higher. I play a ton with my brother and we've determines that koopa and red koop's star swings are not only quite good, but they cause a much higher than normal bobble rate. ESPECIALLY if your timing is so that the little star swing animation shows the ball at the very tip of the bat. Additionally, if you're making a Bowser/bowser jr. centric team, Koopa has a decent bit of speed and I've found an outfield of bowser jr, koopa in center, and green dry bones (he's the fastest dry bones) to be quite effective. But even then. by himself, he's decently fast and has a decent hit EDIT as I'm watching: THANK YOU for recognizing the double threat that is King Boo. He's pretty much the only character who is meta in both pitching and hitting

I think you guys should test something: I remember playing and attacking yoshi’s star swing pressing b and having that neutralize it fairly easily. Could you test that because I think that could have a fairly large impact on his place in the tier list

15:00 At least my dude my B-Tier!

Dark Bones as the best alt for the Bones, as God intended. Solid lost overall, though I'd have Blooper a tad bit higher.

My goat Monty 🐐

gonna use the S tier list to get all the good characters next time i play

Amazing video! (I know this is a late comment on a video uploaded a month ago, but I hope you guys end up reading this correction) Laser Beam is NOT random. It only activates when there's a runner on 3rd, or in between 3rd and home.

justice is needed for tiny

You guys should do a video where you match up the worst nine players vs the best nine players. Just did this with no items, played as the low tiers and it took a few tries. Top tier team: Yoshi, Birdo, Petey, Mario, Daisy, King Boo, BJR, Red Hammer Bro, Peach F Tier team: Diddy, Toadette, Goomba, Paragoomba, Dixie, Tiny, Toadsworth, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi.

Definitely the best tier list you guys have made so far, while knowing the metrics the game uses definitely helped, I can tell that a good chunk of this also came just from more experience with the characters! I've been playing this game a lot more lately, so I do believe that I want to highlight some characters that may be better than you guys are giving them credit for, less as a "THIS TIER LIST IS WRONG!!111!" and more that I had success with them myself and maybe they're worth trying more. *Dixie:* I'm happy to see that you guys are giving a much bigger emphasis on slap and non-captain star hits. You did mention this as a plus for Dixie, but I think that you guys might want to explore it more, since they've proven to be pretty consistent, along with Dixie generally being a great character to have baserunning. Other than that, she's a great outfielder and having Pink Mii as a quick in and out of the otherwise rigid Kong chem tree makes her a much more appealing pick. *Blooper:* Blooper's slap is really good. I don't know if this is just me but Blooper has always been a disgustingly consistent singles hitter whenever I pick him. Might be worth looking into that because that could give him a pretty big boost considering how he links to some exceptional characters. *Shy Guy:* Shy Guy's Super Dive range is kinda bonkers. No Petey for sure, but I've seen him catch balls that were nowhere close to his body. Makes me wonder when we'll get the catching hitboxes for everyone. *Peach:* I think putting Peach in middle A is a massive understatement to how much she can affect a draft. Yes, she's far worse if you have a female infielder, but the fact her star hit is near uncatchable if you don't have one means you potentially would have to alter your entire draft if she is put on the other team or risk her basically having a free double every time she is up. She absolutely becomes far worse with someone like Birdo in the infield basically shutting her down, but if you're drafting a Bowser team and they pick Peach, you'll have to go out of you way to draft a female infielder just to counter her or rely on tight execution with Hammer Bro or Kritter's dive. I do believe that with that counterplay she's out of the running for top 5, but with how much she's able to adapt in both drafting and in-game, it's hard to say a character with that kind of presence has to be ranked higher. She's not just a great pitcher, she's an excellent counterpick that you HAVE to address.

16:32 while I think Smurf dick is s tier personally, y’all explained his placement in b tier very well

Props to the effort that went into making this video but the ranking is suspect: 1-The whole system seems super arbitrary, there’s no explanation of what being in a tier means which is why you end up with characters who you say have good chemistry and fielding but bad hitting in both S and D tier 2-No way you came into our comments section to attack our Birdo placement and then put her number 2. Your review of her is “her chemistry is unparalleled” (even though you literally say the Miis have just as good of chemistry and put them in the bottom of A), “she’s an incredible fielder” (all the traits you list are shared out outclassed by other characters, and pitching is way more defensively significant), and “she’s not a great hitter” (true!), and that makes her the second best character in the game? If Birdo’s only (not even unique) upside is fielding well and connecting other good characters, then she’s just a good role player for other superstars. Saying she’s S-tier is like putting Pippen in the goat debate. Sidekicks aren’t S tier. If y’all want to talk about the tier list or collab on one so we can farm views off our manufactured beef with a larger channel we’re always down, but for now #glorytotheFKMtierlist ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7AtVNCkvor0.html

The Tiny Kong slander is long overdue she has zero redeeming qualities fr

great job guys. literally convinced me about pretty much anything you said with only a few sentences. (still waiting for that shaun white snowboarding stream.)

Hey! In this vid you talk about the datamined stats, do you have a link to those or is it not something you can link?

do you need a nunchuk to move in the batters box and have like a pci?

Love how you guys dress very nice

How’d you make your whole team Monty moles?

Thx for putting Birdo in S tier

I have never played this game in my entire life why am I watching this

Do left handed throwers vs right handed throwers

I remember when I was a kid I used to play on easy and play against Diddy just so I could get stupid amounts of points. I even made a song Jump like a Diddy yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Don’t even show no pity yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah to the tune of the between inning music

My boy BABY DKKKK

Bro Diddy Kong is my main character 😭😭😭

For my team I pick the heavy hitters only. Ex: Krool,kremling,DK,Funky,Bowser, jr,petey and like 2 others

How is your picture so clear??

im surprised and happy Mario and King Boo are higher. So much utility with them. Yoshi still being the GOAT of this game is nice to know too. Hes earned it

toads worth is S tire

So do u guys usually put Miis in CF?

Wow yoshi huh.. wowie

I made my own tier list before watching to see the comparison, but never actually made the comment. Here is that list. F TIER 42nd - Baby Luigi 41st - Baby Mario 40th - Toadette 39th - Goomba 38th - Baby Daisy 37th - Toadsworth D TIER 36th - Tiny Kong 35th - Diddy Kong 34th - Dixie Kong 33rd - Paragoomba C TIER 32nd - Koopa Troopa 31st - Monty Mole 30th - Luigi 29th - Baby DK 28th - Noki 27th - Blooper 26th - Baby Peach B TIER 25th - King K. Rool 24th - Funky Kong 23rd - Toad 22nd - Donkey Kong 21st - Paratroopa 20th - Shy Guy 19th - Pianta 18th - Dry Bones 17th - Boo 16th - Wiggler 15th - Kritter 14th - Waluigi A TIER 13th - Mii 12th - Mario 11th - Bowser Jr. 10th - Magikoopa 9th - Hammer Bro. 8th - Non-Captain Yoshis (Average Placement) S TIER 7th - Peach 6th - King Boo 5th - Bowser 4th - Daisy 3rd - Petey Piranha 2nd - Birdo 1st - Captain Yoshi ALTERNATES Koopa Troopa - Green > Red Noki - Red > Green > Blue Toad - Yellow > Blue > Purple > Red > Green Paratroopa - Green > Red Shy Guy - Gray > Yellow > Green > Red > Blue Pianta - Blue > Yellow > Red Dry Bones - Green > Dark > Blue > Classic Kritter - Red > Brown > Classic > Blue Mii - Red > Pink > Light Green > Blue > Yellow > Green > Brown > White > Purple > Orange > Light Blue > Black Magikoopa - Red > Blue > Yellow > Green Bros. - Fire > Hammer > Boomerang Yoshi - Captain > Pink > Light Blue > Yellow > Red > Blue

I still think paragoomba is underrated because of his pretty good pitch and is good on the infield his chemistry is pretty bad tho

Endless insults for K. Rool… and that’s why he’s B tier

I demand Monty s tier

I think funky should mid b tier. Cause he has a really big hit zone.

Waluigi is a top tier i hope hes at the top.

Shout out to Monty 😼😼

Magic koopa can hit dingers if u time it perfectly but I think fire bro & her is over birdo.

Bowser Donkey Kong Wiggler King K Rule Funky Kong Red Dry Bones Red Kritter and Petey with Mario as my pitcher and captain .Home Run almost every time

How does your mario sluggers game look so nice?

How do you play online?!

Bro I am pretty sure light green Mii only has chemistry with Petey piranha which is pretty bad, after checking your Chemistry chart with the Miis I can say that the only miis that are good are red Mii and dark green Mii Reply if I made a mistake

How can you play this game online?

I disagree with so much on this list, but I still like the video! My list will have kongs much higher.

W

MY BOY DIDDY IN F TIER 😢😢

If baby dk isn’t S invalid

Petey always my goat

Hola tengo un problema y es que juego con mi hermano y no puedo ganarle aun que lo intento alguien ayúdeme. La razón de que pierda es la siguiente plato fuerte bateadores funky kong, donkey kong y king k. Roll, luego la 2 base y el campo de cerca es wario y waluigui, para acabar el campo es mario, luigi y yoshi amarillo el lanzador es el único que el varía algún equipo que me recomienden

oh wow, just like Superstar Baseball, Baby Luigi is the worst character.

As much as I disagree with Monty’s placement yoshi being the best is facts so yeah and yeah ok bye.

funky, DK, and dry bones are better than Waluigi :(
