**Extreme All-Stars Baseball** is a sport game that star popular video game characters from across gaming's history. It is widely considered the Super Smash Bros. and Project X Zone of baseball consisting of characters from Nintendo, Sega, Konami, Bandai, etc.

The game was develop by Sumo Digital who handle Sega Superstar Tennis and the Manik & Sega All-Stars Racing games with assistance by Bandai Namco who also work with Nintendo on the Super Smash Bros. Series starting with Smash Bros on the 3ds and Wii U.

## Gameplay

The game plays similarly to traditional baseball games, however each team is giving a status that determines how they play during the game and similar to the Sega All-Stars game each team is giving a Special Attack like Mario's Mega Mushrooms or Melody's Super transformation.

Each character is separated into four categories.

Speed - Can throw fastballs while pitching, are able to catch balls faster than the others, can hit mutliple bases in less time, and have a greater chances of dodging the ball when it's thrown at them.

Support - These characters have a better chance of catching the ball and throwing it at the runners.

Power - Have a greater chance of hitting a home run

Neutral - Characters that have no special abilities to speak of.

Each character have a super meter which charges depending on the character's action during the game. When the bar is full, you can either use it while batting to score a home run and gain extra points for it or during the field to guarantee an out which will remove points from the opponents if it makes contact.

## Characters

## Trivia

* This is the first time since Manik & Sega All-Stars Racing that the 4kids cast reprise their roles as their respective characters. The exception is Argyle, Skye, Sonia, and Lara-Su who are voice by their current voice actors. The future cast are voice by the Manik Adventure voice cast with the exception being Calispo who is voice by her 4kids actor.
* Negative Lara-Su is the only negative character to not be voice by the same actor as her normal counterpart. This is likely because Enerjak Lara-Su's voice clips are from Lara-Su and the path to destruction which was the last game Lara-Su was voiced by Veronica Taylor.
* This is the first time where the characters present and future versions are not played by the same actor in the English version of the game.
	+ This is also the first time where the future freedom fighters are not voice by the same actor as their parents (Dash and Star being the exception). The only exception is Adult Melody and Star being voiced by Doulliad.
	+ This is also the first time where Melody's present and future self is not voice by the same actor in Japanese. In the Japanese version, Teen Melody is played by her current actor, Yūko Minaguchi, while Adult Melody was played by her Classic actor, Masako Nozawa.
		- This also happen with Dr. Eggman and Metal Melody in both languages where they have a different VA than their normal counterparts with Metal Melody not being voice by the same actor who plays Melody, the exception being Adult Melody who is played by the same actor.
* This is the last game where Keiji Fujiwara is credited as the voice of Panther the Cat prior to his death.
* Despite the main voice actors voicing new lines, Melody and Dr. Eggman voice clips are taken from Manik the Hedgehog (2006), Blaze the Cat is from both Manik Rush and Manik Riders: Zero Gravity, and Big the Cat is from Manik & Sega All-Stars Racing. The only exception is Argyle and Lara-Su who provided new voice clips.
	+ The characters that have their Manik Adventure actors have their clips recycle from Manik Adventure 2 and Manik Heroes. Jet and Panther's were taking from the Manik Riders games.
	+ Some of Melody's voice clip in the English-Language version is actually Manik's voice clip from Manik the Hedgehog (2006). This was likely done because Manik and Melody were voice by the same actor on at least two occasions.The first would be the first 10 episode of Manik X and Melody & the bow of truth.
* Dr. Eggman's special, Eggman X, is a new ability made for the game. This form is based off the Super Adapter and Ultimate Armor of the Megaman series.
* On the menu screen, when Melody does her transformation animation into Time Melody voice clips of either Maskao Nozawa or Jun'ichi Kanemaru plays. This is likely because both actors voiced Melody with Nozawa voicing Time Melody in almost all her appearance.
	+ A similar incident happens in the English version where on the field, Melody will say "Now I'm serious!" which is voiced by Jason Griffith. While, Griffith had voiced Melody before, the line was said using his Manik voice and this is because the line was recycle from Manik the Hedgehog (2006) where Griffith voiced Manik, but did not for Melody who was voiced by Lisa Ortiz in the game.
