This is done by using a bar on the side, which tells the player how strong or weak the throw will be, and only the last wall they hit determines how (or if) their points change.

*Brick Wall – The player earns five points for each wall they hit.
Wall Ball involves four players (three are [[Toad (species)|Toad]] CPUs in the Challenge mode of ''Mario Superstar Baseball'') throwing a ball at a row of walls, aiming for the most [[point]]s. The minigame occurs at [[Peach Garden]] in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and [[Peach Ice Garden]] in ''Mario Super Sluggers''. The first iteration of the minigame is turn-based, though the second one is not. There is a bar on the side that measures how strong their throw is, and therefore which wall will be hit.
*♪ Wall – The player earns 100 points.
*[[Bowser]] Wall – The player loses half of their points, which are divided amongst the other players.
 
In ''Mario Super Sluggers'' the three types of walls are:
*Green Wall – The player gets a small bonus; however, this bonus increases by a lot if they are the first to break one when four line up.
*Princess Peach Heart Wall – This provides a bigger bonus than the Green Wall; however, no bonus is provided if four line up.
*Bowser Wall – The player loses 50 points.


In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', players score five points from hitting each Brick Wall and 100 for a ♪ Wall, while Green Walls and Princess Peach Heart Walls in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' grant small and large bonuses, respectively. The only obstacle in both versions of the minigame are [[Bowser]] Walls, which take away half the player's points and redistribute them among their opponents equally in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' but take away 50 points in ''Mario Super Sluggers''.

Wall Ball is a minigame found in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. The minigame is hosted in Princess Peach's stadium (Peach Garden in Mario Superstar Baseball or Peach Ice Garden in Mario Super Sluggers). It is a four-player minigame (although the other three can be CPU players). The aim of the minigame is to score the most points out of all the players. In Mario Superstar Baseball, each player takes a turn at throwing a very strong ball into a row of Brick Walls. In Mario Super Sluggers, it is the same, but players do not take turns. This is done by using a bar on the side, which tells the player how strong or weak the throw will be, and only the last wall they hit determines how (or if) their points change. Players with the most points in the end win. This minigame is played in Challenge Mode in Mario Superstar Baseball as well, where the player has to verse three Toads.

There are three types of walls in Mario Superstar Baseball:

  • Brick Wall – The player earns five points for each wall they hit.
  • ♪ Wall – The player earns 100 points.
  • Bowser Wall – The player loses half of their points, which are divided amongst the other players.

In Mario Super Sluggers the three types of walls are:

  • Green Wall – The player gets a small bonus; however, this bonus increases by a lot if they are the first to break one when four line up.
  • Princess Peach Heart Wall – This provides a bigger bonus than the Green Wall; however, no bonus is provided if four line up.
  • Bowser Wall – The player loses 50 points.
