'''''Mario Baseball'''''{{ref needed}} is a spinoff series in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise that revolves around the concept of {{wp|baseball}}. Only two games in the series have been released to date: ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Unlike in the previous spinoffs, the player can recruit people via completing scout missions to get enough scout flags to recruit the player on one of the four opposite teams. Another unique feature is [[chemistry]], which affects how well the player's teammates cooperate. Even though there are only two baseball games, this series features more playable characters than other spinoff titles in the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

'''''Mario Superstar Baseball''''' is the first installment in the ''Mario Baseball'' series. It features a total of 32 playable characters (not counting alternate characters), six of which can be unlocked. These characters are divided into four different groups: Balance, Technique, Speed, and Power. The game also features three characters from the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]: [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Dixie Kong]]. The game also has a unique feature called chemistry. Chemistry is the relationship status found between the team captain and its players. The better the chemistry between the characters, the better that team will likely perform. Should a team have bad chemistry, they may perform poorly in the game. Six [[minigame]]s are also featured in the game, one of which is unlockable.
