Additionally, the said videos are able to be viewed outside of the game as well; they are located under the "Records/Statistics" section of the Main Menu. However, in most cases, the cutscenes themselves have to be unlocked by meeting certain criteria during the Challenge Mode gameplay.
 
== The Game's Opening ==
[[Image:Mss intro end of ballgame.png|thumb|All of the players gathering around Mario and Luigi after Lakitu calls the final "out", and the ball game.]] Although this is seen for the opening of ''Mario Super Sluggers'', it's still a preview of what's to come when the player starts the game's Challenge mode. This is the very first video the player encounters.

=== The Details ===
The game's opening begins with [[Toad]], [[Daisy]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Birdo]] on a small cruiser riding to the [[Baseball Kingdom]], which is the location for the entire <i>Mario Super Sluggers</i> game. The cruiser arrives, and they meet up with [[Peach]] and [[Toadsworth]] who greet them at the entrance. Peach escorts her friends to the lighthouse at the Daisy Cruiser, showing them an overview of the entire locale. From there, they run into the [[Mario Stadium (baseball stadium)|Mario Stadium]] holding Wii Remotes (briefly "demonstrating" the game's targeted controls). Closeups of Daisy, Luigi, and Mario follow in regards to swinging their Wii Remotes. Daisy is shown first encountering her Wii Remote changing to her bat. Luigi encounters the same result as Daisy, and Mario's Wii Remote changes to his ball. Mario pitches the ball to Daisy right away following this, and she is seen countering it.
 
After Daisy countered Mario's pitched ball, the scenery immediately changes as the ball is chased after by [[Toad (species)|Toads]] in the [[Peach Rink|Peach Ice Garden]], where they run into [[Freezie|Freezies]]. The ball then rolls onto [[Wario City]], where [[Wario]] chases after it to find it shoot into the air from a manhole water spout. The ball lands on Wario's head, causing him to fall backwards, and causing the ball to fly into [[Yoshi Park]]. Yoshi jumps over a [[pipe]] to catch the ball, realizing he is going to fall, he flutters around, but falls in with the ball. The ball flies to [[Diddy Kong]] at [[DK Jungle]], where he is about to be run over by a barrel, when [[Donkey Kong]] comes to Diddy's rescue by smashing it.
 
The view switches back to Mario Stadium, where Mario pitches to DK, who then makes a hit. Yoshi goes for the catch, but both Wario and [[Waluigi]] bombard him with [[Bob-ombs]]. Yoshi slides to the catch regardless, throws it to Peach, who throws it to Mario, and then to Luigi on base. DK rushes to the same base where Luigi is standing - unfortunately resulting in DK's slamming into Luigi, sending him into the field wall. As Daisy, Toad and other spectators stand in alarm, they find out seconds later that Luigi has caught the ball. [[Lakitu]] calls it out, and everyone rushes to center field where Mario and Luigi are standing. After that, a final overhead shot of the [[Baseball Kingdom]] is seen to conclude the opening.

{{Spoiler}}
This cutscene starts with an overhead view of the [[Baseball Kingdom]] itself, but this time, through [[Bowser Jr.]]'s telescope. Bowser Jr. is jealous that Mario and friends are having all the fun, so he pulls a lever which results in his gigantic Block Fort emerging from the sea. Then, with an extreme amount of force, he goes full speed ahead toward the Baseball Kingdom. This results in Bowser Jr.'s Block Fort crashing headfirst onto the island. Mario and Luigi are shocked to encounter unexpected guests, which also includes their constant nemesis, [[Bowser]].

== Defeating Bowser ==
[[Image:Mss main ending celebration.png|thumb|200px|Mario and friends are ecstatic after winning the final game against Bowser's team.]]If the player does manage to make it to Bowser's Castle (while it is night time at the Baseball Kingdom) and defeat Bowser's team, then this is the "main ending" that awaits to be seen.

{{Spoiler}}
[[Image:Mss main ending bk entrance.png|thumb|200px|left|Mario and friends at the Baseball Kingdom's entrance after defeating Bowser's team.]] After a lot of dedicated teamwork from Mario and his friends, they have finally managed to muster enough strength to go against Bowser's team and defeat them in the process. Upon getting the final win, Mario and friends gather around the middle of Bowser's Castle to celebrate their victory. Bowser, in the background, is obviously enraged and could not believe that he was just completely humiliated by the prowess of his challengers.
 
Minutes later, Mario and friends head back to the entrance of the [[Baseball Kingdom]] right as nightfall was occuring. [[Peach]] magically lights up the island; possibly symbolizing that the evil that gripped the [[Baseball Kingdom]] by Bowser and his gang has finally been eliminated, and all is well again.

[[Image:Mss yoshi peach daisy.png|thumb|200px|Yoshi, Peach, Daisy, and others celebrate the fireworks display and homerun event at Mario Stadium.]] This is the fourth and final cutscene for the player to encounter in ''Mario Super Sluggers''.

=== The Details ===
{{Spoiler}}
All of Mario's friends are celebrating a well played season at the [[Baseball Kingdom]], and [[Daisy]] starts things off by inviting everyone to a huge feast at the [[Daisy Cruiser]] -- especially Bowser and Bowser Jr. (despite their only getting small portions of food while others got a lot more).
 
Moments later, the fireworks show begins and everyone is enjoying the spectacular display from the Daisy Cruiser. However, they all decided that it was best to join the folks where the fireworks show was really taking place -- Mario Stadium.
 
That is where [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]] assist in the fireworks display because it was also a homerun derby show as well; the two counter Bob-Ombs that were shot out from the cannon across from them. All the spectators are amazed at the fireworks that result afterwards.
 
Unfortunately, out of nowhere, [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]] planned a sneak attack -- by inserting a [[Bullet Bill]] into the cannon. The cannon fires with the Bullet Bill aimed right at Mario. Poor Mario was doomed because his bat wasn't able to counter the Bullet Bill headed his way.
 
But Bowser immediately drops in because his bat was stronger to counter it -- and he does so with full force. This results in the Bullet Bill going the other direction -- and is now headed for Wario and Waluigi -- who are at this point running for dear life. The Bullet Bill destroys the cannon in the process and manages to snag both Wario and Waluigi, taking them straight up into the night sky. Thousands of feet later, a huge fireworks explosion from Bullet Bill goes off. This was definitely <i>not</i> good news for Wario and Waluigi because of their being caught up in the extremely painful blast. Their beginning to fall down in agony and despair from the explosion thousands of feet in the air doesn't help either.
 
Back on the ground, all the spectators turned ecstatic after seeing the final blast, hence ending the show and all the great times they had for the season at the Baseball Kingdom.
