Bowser Monsters
Bowser Monsters is the name of Bowser's team in Mario Superstar Baseball. It is the only unlockable team in the game. They are also sometimes called the Bowser Flames, Bowser Blue Shells, and the Bowser Blackstars. Despite being unlockable, Bowser and Bowser Jr. can be chosen in Exhibition Mode before unlocking the team, but the Bowser Monsters team is not playable from the start in Challenge Mode. They are unlocked by beating Challenge Mode as any team on Special Difficulty. The team is also the Final Boss when playing as all the other teams in Challenge Mode. Bowser Monsters always practice at Bowser's Castle. The Bowser Monsters team plays a bit differantly. Whereas all the other teams were trying to play a game against Bowser, when playing as the Bowser Monsters, Bowser heads out to challenge them. This is not neccesary for Bowser, as he just sent out the letter but, of course, Bowser does not listen to Lakitu, and heads out to challenge them. After beating all the five teams, Mario and eight of the other Captains steal Bowser's Castle, and Bowser and his team must beat them to get them out.
Team Members
Bowser's team is somewhat spread-out. He has four Dry Bones, and two variations of the Hammer Brothers on his team, the Fire Brother and the Boomerang Brother So, theoretically, Bowser has six differant players, if the Fire Bro. and Boomerang Bro. are considered different characters from the Hammer Bro. Nontheless, Hammer Bro., and his two alternate variations, is the unlockable character of the team, unlocked by beating Challenge Mode once as the Bowser Monsters.
