Super Mario Cricket

Mario Cricket is a sports action video game in the to be developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DSGo in late 2023. It is the first Mario Sports title to depict the sport of cricket. The developers said they were inspired by Mario Tennis Aces and its addition of new mechanics to make the time-honoured games more interesting and fit in better within the Mario universe.
==Rules of Cricket==
The game is played on a large circular field, with a smaller rectangular field in the middle. The smaller field has two sets of wickets, which are each made up of three stumps, on opposing sides. In T2, there are 4 innings, with each team alternating between fielding and batting. Each inning ends when the fielding team has completed 20 overs, with 6 legal bowls in each, or if all 11 batsmen have been taken "out."
Batsmen come on in pairs. The batsman stands in front of one of the wickets, with the bowler by the other. The bowler attempts to "bowl" the ball so that it will hit and knock over one of the stumps on the opposing wicket. The batsman must try to strike the ball with the bat so that it does not hit the wicket. After the batsman has hit the ball, they will try to run back and forth between the wickets, gaining 1 run each time they make one trip. If the ball rolls into the barrier of the circular field, they win 4 runs. If it goes over the barrier, they win 6 runs.
The bowler makes an illegal bowl if they throw the ball too wide or tall, or step over the crease. If they make an illegal bowl, the opposing team wins 1 run, and it does not count towards the over. If the bowler hits the wicket successfully, if the ball is caught in the air, or if a fielder takes the ball to a wicket while the batsman is still running between them, the batsman is considered out and must leave to be replaced with another from their team. The batsman is also out if they block the ball with their body rather than the bat if the ball was going to hit the wicket otherwise.
If the game ends with the currently batting team winning enough runs to have more than their opponent, they win. If the game ends with the fielding team getting all 11 opponent batsmen out while also having more runs than their opponent, the fielding team wins. If, however, the fielding team runs out of overs rather than outing all of the opponent batsmen, the game is considered a draw.
==Roster==
When Mario Cricket first released, it included only 20 Star Players that could be used or purchased in-game. The remaining 22 Star Players on the cast were unlocked for use through community milestones, in which all the runs scored by players in online Ranked and Practice matches were tallied up until they reached a certain goal, at which point the characters were unlocked.
