'''''Mario Super Sluggers''''' is the [[Wii]] follow-up to the 2005 [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' | '''''Mario Super Sluggers''''' is the [[Wii]] installment follow-up to the 2005 [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and is the second game in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series. This game borrows many elements from the previous game, but it also includes new elements as well, including a variety of gameplay controls, such as taking advantage of the motion sensor controls that the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] provides. The game also has a more in-depth and more narrative-driven Challenge Mode, where, rather than only facing off against a Team Captain and a team of opponents, players interact with more characters, including a variety of various sub-characters, and play various small challenges to recruit them for their team. Up to four players can play this title, and a new feature is that players can choose which of the two team sides to be on. | ||
