| In the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, Baseballs first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as projectiles used by [[Chargin' Chuck|Confused Chucks]]. They are thrown at constant pace, traveling on a horizontal line through the air. They can damage [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] if they hit them and can only be destroyed when hit by a [[Cape Mario|cape]]. However, Confused Chucks will stop throwing baseballs if attacked, upon which they start behaving like regular Chargin' Chucks.
| | These throwing items first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''; at that time players cannot use these items, as they are one of [[Chargin' Chuck]]'s weapons. In this game, some kinds of Chargin' Chucks are seen hurling baseballs at the player. When these baseballs hit the player, he or she will get damaged and lose items. In Mario Mania Player's Guide, these baseball-throwing Chargin' Chucks are referred to as '''Confused Chucks'''. |

| | Baseballs appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' as a throwing item. This time Chargin' Chucks do not throw these items; players can pick them up and throw them at other enemies to defeat them. These items can be found inside the box, or may be found in various places. Baseballs can be used to get [[Green Star (Super Mario 3D World)|Green Stars]] from a distance and some [[Mystery House]]s require the use of baseballs to obtain all Green Stars. |
| Baseballs appear in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' as throwable objects. They can be found lying around in various places, being introduced in [[Really Rolling Hills]]. Players can pick them up and throw them at other enemies to defeat them; if other players are hit, they are knocked back (but not hurt or defeated). In addition, baseballs can be used to get [[Green Star]]s from a distance, and the [[World 6 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 6]] [[Mystery House]] requires the use of baseballs to obtain all Green Stars. | |

|
| In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', baseballs are found sparingly across [[Lake Lapcat]]. [[Kitten]]s can be seen playing with them if Mario is not close, and they can be sent flying upon contact by Mario, [[Bowser Jr.]], or [[Plessie]]. When [[Fury Bowser]] is active, baseballs are able to extinguish his falling fireballs, and their resulting lava puddles, upon contact.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl4WYiX8mq0|title=10 Little Details (Part 1) {{!}} ''Bowser's Fury''|publisher=YouTube|date=March 12, 2021|author=Looygi Bros.|accessdate=July 2, 2024|language=en}}</ref> Baseballs can also be thrown into [[Clear Pipe]]s, and may become stuck in an infinite loop in the Clear Pipes of [[Pipe Path Tower]].<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCFSddiH1fw|title=10 Little Details (Part 2) {{!}} ''Bowser's Fury''|publisher=YouTube|date=March 14, 2021|author=Looygi Bros.|accessdate=July 2, 2024|language=en}}</ref>

| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| | Baseballs make their first major appearance as the main focus of ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Baseballs are used in the same fashion as [[wikipedia:baseball|baseball]] in real life: pitchers throw them to batters, the batters swing and attempts to hit the ball, and fielders catch the ball and attempt to get the batters and runners out, but with some additional Mario spins added, including [[Power Shot]]s and [[Error Item]]s. |
| In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', baseballs are featured in the [[Toad House]] minigame [[Catch & Win!]] in [[Super Mario Maker 2#World Maker|Super Worlds]], where they are fired by a [[Bill Blaster]]-like cannon at a Toad House and must be caught by the player. If they miss three of them, [[Weird Mario]] comes out from the house and shoos them away.

| Baseballs are central objects in the {{wp|baseball|sport of the same name}}, which is the focus of ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', as well as a part of ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''. Here, baseballs are used in the same fashion as in real life: pitchers throw them to batters, the batters swing and attempt to hit them, and fielders try to catch the ball before the batters and runners advance around the base. However, some fictional spins are added to the sport, including [[Star Skill]]s and [[Error Item]]s, which cause baseballs to gain qualities with special effects. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario Party''===
| |
| Baseballs are used in the [[All-Star Swingers]] minigame from ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where they are launched by machines in front of the players. Their movement is denoted by their appearance: white baseballs travel on an arc-shaped path, red baseballs travel straight forward, and mushroom-patterned baseballs travel in a zigzag way. The players must bat them to the rhythm of the music.
| |
| | |
| ===''Paper Mario: The Origami King''===
| |
| {{main|Baseball (item)}}
| |
| In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', if Mario scores exactly 21 points in the minigame in the [[Shuriken Dojo]] at [[Shogun Studios]], he receives a baseball signed by the Toad behind the counter. Mario later exchanges this baseball for the [[Bone (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Bone]] from two [[Dry Bones]] elsewhere in the park.
