'''''Mario Superstar Baseball''''' (known in Japan as '''''Super Mario Stadium Miracle Baseball''''') is one of the many ''Mario'' series' spinoff installments featuring Mario and his friends playing sports. This game is the first installment for the [[Mario Baseball (series)|baseball category]] of sports games featuring Mario characters. What also makes ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' different from baseball is the addition of unique Power Shots, minigames, and special abilities characters can perform on the field.
