The Most Mechanically Deep Baseball Game? - Mario Superstar Baseball 

Hey that’s me! Thanks so much for having me Akshon, it was an honor to speak about the game I’ve put so much time and love with. Long live Mario Superstar Baseball! BOWSER WINS GAMES!

I love seeing these small, more obscure games have a competitive scene. It's so cool imo

Hey that's my old basement! MSSB and Dinger City are both the real deal when it comes to a fun, competitive ebaseball scene! Super happy to be a part of it so come check it out and learn about this great game ⚾🚂

I really adore how this channel started off as an Overwatch League play-by-play and highlights only channel, and evolved into this open minded relm that broadened it's horizons including obscure and often forgotten/overlooked games and genres! It's honestly such a delight learning about a community that has been around for a while and just how far they've taken a game that they love. Top 5 fav channels on RU-vid easy! Keep up the great work guys. Love looking forward to all your videos.

Wow I didn’t expect to actually be in this video but there I am! So honored to be included here as a part of Dinger City! This game is so incredible and I’m so happy to see it getting such a big spotlight! It makes a small time RU-vidr like myself feel like I’m actually making a difference. Thank you!

The pitching in this game is crazy deep as well, you can throw sliders, change ups, and fast balls, with each character excelling in their own regard. Super cool video covering a fire game!!

Thank you for making this video and including some of my footage in the video (MattyIceFalco). Mario Baseball has incredible depth and we would love to see new people join our community.

When you have to say "permutations" to describe something in the game, you know its deep

Love this game and the community! The online scene is only going to grow and get better! Lots more to come in the future! Thanks for having me Akshon and letting me talk about a game that means so much to me! -PeacockSlayer

Oh man, the throwback... Funny thing is that I'm from France, and so when somebody offered me a copy of Mario Superstar Baseball I had NO idea what baseball was and how the fuck were you supposed to play that game. Took me over a month to completely understand how to score points, lol I had a cracking time with it, tho. Incredible to see there are guys out there trying to turn into a competitive game

No one can hit dingers off my cursed dry bones pitching…and if you think you can join our discord and challenge me on rio!

Deeply upset they didnt show off that monty mole becomes usain bolt while holding the ball on defense. He could play center field and sprint the ball to home plate before bowser could tag up from third base and go home.

Bringing up the controversial wobbling ban? A fine move, a rude fine move.

is nobody going to talk about the keyboard gamecube controller in the clips

So i live about 40 minutes from New Paltz, to see that a local school contributed to this is mind blowing

First off, thank you for this video. Watching this feels so surreal. Our community rarely ever gets big recognition. As the co-lead modder of this game alongside PeacockSlayer, and as the person who runs our ranked netplay and most of our online tournaments, i must say now is the perfect time to get into the scene. We’re still learning a ton about the game and exploring what the game has to offer, which is something that you can’t say about most gamecube games these days. This community has really changed my life for the better. Thank you again for the video!

wow it was really nice of you to make this video for me specifically and exclusively jokes aside holy shit there's a fucking comp scene for this game? I love this game! That's fucking hype!

I wolud never expect a game like this having an esport

dinger city is such a fun channel, cannot recommend enough!

The Mario baseball games and especially the sequel on the Wii, Mario Super Sluggers, were ones I loved to play when I was younger. My only gripe I remember having was sometimes the motion controls were a little finicky. It’s really cool to see the original getting more love after all this time!

Easily one of the best video game communities out there. Constant hilarious content, new modding discoveries and netplay tournaments this is a great time

Bowser wins games

“got that thang on em” will be nightmare fuel

hey that’s critnick and dinger city !!!!!

This game is so infectious. Showed up to play once and it hooked me right in! The people in the community are honestly the real gem of it all--the Dinger City boys, modders, Netplay peeps, and speedrunners do so much work behind the scenes to make hype content and a healthy competitive environment. It's been said, but join the Discord and you'll have so many people ready to talk about the basics or advanced parts of the game with you.

How are you able to make me want to try every GameCube title.

Mario Superstar Baseball and Super Mario Sluggers are underrated. Game’s are GOATED. I grew up on Sluggers personally, but I still enjoy Superstar Baseball.

I'm telling you man, look into the Panel de Pon competitive scene! 😜We've built an entire fangame called Panel Attack so we can play online with rollback netcode, and there's so much more depth to PvP than most people realize!

No Nintendo, don't take this community down you ingrates!

This really hit me with nostalgia. I loved this game and played it with my brother growing up. I’ll love to check this out.

Absolutely incredible that this grew from a basement in New Paltz to a channel that raised over $12,000 for charity is amazing. Seeing the growth and effort everyone in the club puts in is awesome and I can’t wait to see where it takes everyone next!

Me and my brother played this a lot on the Wii,Its such an underrated Mario sports game. It deserves a comeback on the Switch!

YOOOOOOOOOOOO IM SO HAPPY THAT YOU MADE A VIDEO ON THIS GAME

This video is incredible and so is the scene for this game. We're always working hard to try to grow the scene and this finally shows that it's paying off. If you're interested in the game, the MSSB Club Discord is a great place to start!

YourGenderHere is an extremely talented Mario Superstar Baseball speedrunner. I absolutely adore this game and I can't believe you covered it, good on you guys!

What a great way to spend Saturday morning.

I used to swear by how good this game was. I worked at a chain video game retailer and I would recommend it to so many people. I'm glad to see my intuition was right. This game was always so fun and felt so complete. I'm so glad to see a resurrection of the title, and a newfound appreciation for it!!

This game is so hype and probably the most underrated Mario Sports title. Dinger City is also goated.

Dinger City makes me so happy, and I would love for more people to experience the most earnest content I've ever seen in my life.

The Game was my childhood 😮‍💨 I’m still hoping for another entry in the series

Yo, a Team full of Bowsers will be wild! Not only the characters are full of personality thanks to animation but the mechanic is deep! Modern games should be more like this.

Wait, there's a comp scene for this game?!

My favorite channel uploads a video on my favorite game? Beautiful

As someone who used to speedrun this game, this makes me want to create a league with my friends so bad. Great video!

What an underrated game

This is my fucking childhood

Watching this community grow over the years has been incredibly exciting! I can’t wait to see where they go next!

This game getting the love it deserves on YT lately!

Speaking of Mario sports games the recent announcement of a new Mario Strikers has me PUMPED

0:08 I literally left out the same laugh he did lmao

I had this video sent to me and genuinely assumed the title was a joke. How wrong I was. Outstanding video for an apparently outstanding game.

MSBB Tech > Melee Tech

Tbh if I made a party game I'd be honored but also slightly annoyed that people are getting so good at a game meant to be chill. I'd be honored cuz that would mean people loved my game, but annoyed because the game itself was supposed to just be a nice game to play and ruin your friendships lol.

I love seeing old games like Mario Superstar Baseball being rediscovered. These games are the best example of Bushnell's Law.

Let’s go, I love to see the best baseball game ever getting some love

Since you've done a video on the mario baseball games, you have to do a video on mario strikers and mario strikers charged. Mario tennis aces is also pretty competitive

Grew up playing Super Sluggers but I'd love to get into this game one day

Although this game came out in Europe, the Wii game Mario Super Sluggers didn’t. Baseball is nowhere near as popular here as in Japan or the states, but it still baffles me to this day that they just boycotted the region entirely!

Perfect video.

So glad to see this sick game get the support it deserves ❤️

Sold. The game looks sick. Ps2 -Gamecube had some great games huh

It's awesome to see this community I've been following have such a nice video made about them.

The Mario Baseball series does not get anywhere near the attention and love it deserves. It's probably the best sports series with Mario in it.

I've loved this game since it came out, didn't realize there was such a dedicated community. One of the best, if not best baseball games ever.

Wow. I've never heard of this game before, but the mechanics looks really fun. I kinda want to play it now.

Its nuts to me how far this community has come. Truly a game unlike any other and while I don't have the time to dedicate myself to the netplay scene as much as I used to, it warms my heart so much to see this community get the love it deserves.

Love Mario Supra Star Baseball. Terrific game, good community. Fun times All around.

This game is so good - I used to play it all the time as a kid, and I once played an intense match that went into extras against my college buddy. I walked him off in like the 11th, and I popped off so hard I cut my hand on my chair a little bit! I'll have to look into it on Dolphin sometime.

I feel like Pokémon the only esports Nintendo supports. We need a video on them

I remember playing this at my friends house and kept getting random home runs with red toad, to the point that it became a running joke. I’d miss home runs with big heavy characters and then toad would come on and get a star hit on the first swing nearly every single time. It’s made me go and think about how good toad was in other games, like in mario sports mix where he is the best character I know, and smash bros. The one time toad wanted to help peach, she became the best character on release. Are there any other games where toad just fucking dominates?

7:30 I like how yoshi doesn’t have anyone in the red except for bowser and kamek , and even still they’re light red, real friendly guy

I love and loved this game so much thanks for making a vid on it!

I totally forgot about this game until now. I remember playing it so much as a kid. Definitely got me interested in the scene a little.

Oh wow……I never expected a Mario Baseball game to be considered competitive, speak less of a dedicated community. That’s so awesome!

one of the best games ever made!

Your best video in a while! This deserves a follow-up! Loved this one so much

I had literally no idea this game had a competitive scene. That's actually crazy to me, I've always liked the Mario Baseball games the most.

I love seeing these types of videos on communities that I did not even know existed. I have this game, I'm gonna play it. Also, I'm definitely gonna check out th3se events these guys throw! So cool!

I loved this game as a kid! It makes me happy it’s not just me

I used to play this game all the time as a kid with my older brother, I never really liked sluggers so even after that came out we'd come back to it. Never knew it was so deep with such a rich grassroots scene, so cool

loved this games as a child !

Imagine if Pac-Man world rally got a competitive scene

I have a friend I played this with on a weekly basis for years on a competitive level. When Sluggers came out, it was a bit of a disappointment because it just was not as good in that sense, there was less room for skill expression. The more we played Superstar BB, I think we realized it was a lot deeper than people gave it credit for. Even now, when we find the time to get together, it's what we do. I'm shocked to find there's a scene developed for it now, it's so beautiful to see it being modded and how much depth is truly being uncovered behind it. The detailed chemistry chart shown was stunning, I remember thinking it seemed like certain pairs like Mario & Bowser or Petey & Pianta had so much worse chemistry than others in some weird situations, but we weren't sure. It makes so much sense now to see there's unique values tied to each one. Thanks to those in the scene for all of the hard work that's gone into it so far, I never thought I'd see the day it reached a viable netplay era, we will definitely be checking it out. I look forward to seeing how it grows and how the meta develops from here!

Nintendo developers are secretly into eSports.

One of my favorite childhood games - thanks for bringing this back into my memory

Best baseball game ever made, now turned into a thriving online scene. Draws tons of parallels to the melee scene. Join the dinger city discord and see if you have what it takes to be the next Netplay Champion.

I have this game. Its the only baseball game i can tolerate. It is pure QUALIT-EEEE!

0:50 Probably the dirtiest moonwalk I've seen in 10 years of competing. Not only baiting the nair but the dtilt as well.

Wow I’ve been playing this game pretty consistently. Nice to know there’s a scene

I loved Mario Superstar Baseball and I wish we got another game like it today.

I still own this game after getting rid of so many other gamecube classics... it's a real gem. Fun to see an in depth video about the game

Mario Strikers next please! Great video.

YESSIR MORE MARIO BASEBALL LOVE!!!!!

Nintendo must be livid that people are genuinely enjoying one of their games.

Let's GOOOOOOO, my favorite game getting some shine

It's so wild seeing my college. And having been a part of the gaming community/club there, it's like kinda tripping me out, but in a good way.

This was wonderfully made. Used to play this with my neighborhood friends when I was younger. What a blast from the past!

How casually you said "When he's already got that THANG on him" took me out! LMAO.

The Wii Mario Baseball is one of my favorite games ever made, glad to see games like it having a scene
