Mario Super Sluggers HD/Cinematic Scenes

This is a list of cinematic scenes in Mario Super Sluggers HD, a game that serves as a remake of Mario Super Sluggers. The scenes that were shown in the original Sluggers game for the Wii have been modified with more fluent animations and lesser spoilers. Listed below are the scenes, their tracks, and transcripts.
==Opening==
*Description: After the game is booted, this scene plays. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Birdo, Red Toad, and Daisy are riding on a boat en route to the Baseball Kingdom. Peach and Toadsworth are waiting at the edge of the boat dock. Once upon arrival, Peach guides the others the way through the island. After getting a view from the lighthouse, the characters head for Mario Stadium and split into separate teams for an exhibition match. Mario throws the first pitch, while Daisy hits it, seemingly looking like a home run, but the scene adjusts to other known portions of the Baseball Kingdom. Other known subscenes show a Blue Toad get frozen by a Freezie, Wario get pummeled by a sewer lid, Yoshi falling into a pipe, and Donkey Kong bashing away a giant barrel to save Diddy. Shifting back to Mario Stadium, Luigi prepares to field for a ball until Donkey Kong violently tackles him, much to the panic of Daisy, Toadette, and Red Toad. Luigi is knocked ball towards the wall, but is able to hold on to the ball, recording the final out of the game, and everyone else steps onto the field to celebrate.
*Version differences: In the original Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii, Daisy, Luigi, and Mario wielded Wii Remotes and transformed them into baseball bats, but in the remastered remake, they didn't brandished those remotes. In addition, the music from the start of the scene transitioned to a newly updated remix with sounds from the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. As Mario and others were preparing to begin their exhibition game, the rock band started to kick in.
==Prologue==
*Description: This scene plays when starting a new game in Story Mode. A few flashbacks show during the events of Mario Superstar Baseball. Shortly after the events of Mario Superstar Baseball, Peach visited a mysterious island several miles off the coast of the Mushroom Kingdom. After examining that the island had no inhabitants and was just full of flatland, she came up with an idea to convert it into a kingdom full of baseball venues for each character she knew best. Toadsworth, her longtime steward, is not too keen about her idea, fearing that it would cause a recession in the Mushroom Kingdom's economy. Peach still feels upbeat about converting the island, and a few flashback subscenes play as the parks are built during the passing times.

==Toadette to the Rescue==
*Description: After defeating Bowser Jr. in a baseball game, Bowser Jr. intends to turn Daisy into a statue again, but Toadette performs a blindsided life-risking tackle to knock Bowser Jr. back, and the troublesome young Koopa loses his magic paintbrush in the process. Disarmed, Bowser Jr. runs away. Daisy comes toward Toadette and offers her a thousand thanks, and the two embrace. Daisy gives Toadette a spin, eventually lifting her high towards the shining sun.

==Exploring the Daisy Cruiser==
*Description: At the beginning of Chapter 7, this scene premieres as Peach guides Daisy to a cruiser at the west portion of the Baseball Kingdom. When they examine the place, Toadette, who was in tow with both princesses, has been acting somewhat quiet and shy, and Daisy questions if Toadette is all right. Toadette feels confident that Peach entrusted Daisy the cruiser as her home field in the kingdom, but still feels concerned that Bowser Jr. and his minions are still on the loose throughout the island. When Daisy and Toadette explore the interior of the cruiser, they witness a crew of Piantas and Nokis preparing dishes and utensils. Bowser Jr. comes by again, but the Pianta Police escort the troublesome Koopa kid out of the cruiser. Daisy explains that she plans to offer everyone some desserts if the heroes are capable of defeating Bowser Jr. and his father Bowser in a showdown, a concept which Toadette profoundly endorses.

*Trivia: The Pianta security that escorted Bowser Jr. away draws a similar resemblance to the Isle Delfino Police, which mistakenly arrested Mario in Super Mario Sunshine.
==A Hard-Earned Victory==
*Description: After defeating Bowser's team at his castle, characters begin to celebrate by shaking hands, high-fiving, and embracing all around, while Wario and Waluigi remain unaware about the celebration. Bowser throws a tantrum by slamming his bat to the turf, while Bowser Jr. goes by his father sides, also feeling devastated that now both of them lost. The celebration continues, while Mario and Luigi come up towards Peach and embrace with her. After the celebration. Peach and the rest of the crew march to the main entrance of the Baseball Kingdom, where they gaze upon the binary sunset before the lights begin to turn on for the night.
*Version differences: In the original Sluggers game for the Wii, various characters surround Mario and throw him in the air as a show in celebration. When the characters gaze at the sunset by the main entrance of the Baseball Kingdom, Peach's brooch begins glowing, which ignites the lights throughout the kingdom. In the remastered remake, just about every playable character without being more than one self take the field and celebrate without throwing Mario in the air this time around.
*Music: "Victory at Dusk" - Performed by the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra
*Trivia: When Mario and Luigi embrace with Peach, the moment is similar when they performed the same method in Luigi's Mansion 3. When the characters look at the sunset by the entrance of the Baseball Kingdom, the melody that plays bears an equivalent resemblance to "The Force (Binary Sunset)" theme from Star Wars. When the lights begin to turn on, the flute's tune bears an equivalent resemblance to "Peace and Purpose" from The Last Jedi, with the violin family instruments acting as rhythm and background melodies.
==Desserts and Fireworks==
*Description: After defeating Bowser's team, Mario and other characters want to do a little more activity at the Baseball Kingdom at the night falls. Daisy and Toadette lead a march with other characters to the Daisy Cruiser to have a little desserts as a gift for saving Daisy when Bowser Jr. previously transformed her into a statue. As Daisy and others are having some desserts, a display of fireworks storm the night sky, surprising Yoshi, Daisy, and Toadette that witness it. Bowser and Bowser Jr. are at their castle, still feeling distraught after losing the baseball game, but they briefly catch a glimpse of the fireworks. 
After the characters are finished with the desserts, they retreat to Mario Stadium to witness Mario and Donkey Kong participating in a Bob-omb Derby exhibition. During Daisy's turn, she hits a Bob-omb toward the sky batting right-handed and performs a bat flip, causing Peach, Luigi, and Toadette to laugh. When Toadette get her turn, she also hits a Bob-omb toward the sky and celebrates by showboating on home plate, causing Daisy to laugh. Mario comes to help Toadette up and has a little chat with her.
At one point, Wario and Waluigi sabotage the cannon that releases the explosives, rigging it with a Bullet Bill. The cannon malfunctions, releasing the Bullet Bill prematurely, and will no one at the plate to hit it, the stadium is under siege. Rosalina suddenly appears and brandishes her baseball bat, hitting the Bullet Bill into the night sky, saving the day. Afterwards, every character takes the field, bowing one after another to commerce their heroism.
*Version differences: In the original Sluggers game for the Wii, Daisy guided Bowser and Bowser Jr. over to her cruiser, giving them a table with little treats to spare. When Wario and Waluigi sabotaged the cannon during the Bob-omb Derby, Bowser hit the Bullet Bill, which carried Wario and Waluigi with it. In the remastered remake, Toadette follows with Daisy to her cruiser, while Peach and a few other characters join the effort. The Toad Brigade consisting of five Toads take the table where Bowser and Bowser Jr. formerly took in the original Wii version. A Red Toad stood next to Daisy in the original Wii version, but in the remastered remake, Toadette stood next to Daisy, while the Red Toad represented the leader of the Toad Brigade.
*Music: "Desserts and Fireworks" - Performed by the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra
*Trivia: A Chef Toad is seen preparing the desserts on the tables at the Daisy Cruiser. In addition, a Chef Shy Guy is seen preparing sets of donuts, which serves as a reference to the mini-game "Shy Guy Shuffle" in Mario Party 10. After the characters are finishing bowing on the field at the climax of the scene, a melody that bears an equivalent resemblance to the victory theme from the Rocky film series plays.
==The Journey Back Home==
*Description: After having desserts and viewing a show of fireworks, Mario and all others leave the Baseball Kingdom by riding on boats en route back to the mainland of the Mushroom Kingdom. On one boat, Daisy and Toadette are sitting next to each other, questioning what will come of the future. Toadette feels that exploring the Baseball Kingdom for the first time was like having a civil war against Bowser rather than playing normal baseball, but Daisy still feels confident that there will be hope for the future as long as everyone else is still alive and doing their own thing. Peach comes by and sits next to Toadette, questioning her about her experience in regards of the Baseball Kingdom. After Toadette gives her feedback, Daisy suddenly yawns, feeling tired and exhausted after enduring a whole day playing baseball and going through adversity against Bowser's army. Toadette confesses that she still remains best friends with both princesses, and that her own future is still looking bright by all means. Toadette embraces with the princesses, knowing that they will be friends forever.

*Trivia: After Toadette says that there is "Hope for the future" and embraces with both princesses, the music at the climax of the track is equivalent to the outro verse of "Hope for the Future", the last song during the credits roll in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
