Mario and Sonic e Smurfina Baseball

***Mario and Sonic Baseball*** is a *Mario and Sonic* sport title for the Nintendo Switch and is the first installment of the *Mario and Sonic Baseball* series, being the first dedicated baseball game in the *Mario and Sonic* franchise. As with most *Mario and Sonic Sports*titles, it has traditional rules of the sport, but with special, *Mario and Sonic*-themed quirks and mechanics to differentiate itself from the real sport. This includes characters using Star Skill abilities to cause the ball behavior to behave differently; team captain's Star Skill abilities are unique and cause a wide variety of special effects such as attacking outfielders if batting and causing the pitched ball to behave erratically. Characters also have field abilities to differentiate themselves from other teammates. Chemistry is a feature unique to the *Mario and Sonic Baseball*games where players perform differently whether they are neutral, like, or dislike another character they are cooperating with. Additionally, most fields in the game have stage hazards that can affect outfielders such as the Piranha Plants serving as obstacles in Yoshi Park.

Aside from the main Exhibition mode, where players can play baseball freely with up to two players, players can participate in a single-player oriented Challenge mode that has them playing as a designated team captain and their preset team and recruiting other captains and team players to face off against Bowser and Dr. Eggman. This game also introduces the Toy Field mode where individual characters play on an interactive baseball field and get coins based on where the ball lands. Finally, players can play in *Mario and Sonic*-themed minigames that have baseball mechanics, such as hitting Bob-ombs to create fireworks or collecting gems in the baseball diamond while avoiding a Chain Chomp. Toy Field and Minigames mode are the only modes that can support up to four players.

### Game's Opening Editar

The game's opening begins with Mario, Sonic, Luigi and Tails playing catch. The four then see a wanted poster featuring Bowser and Dr. Eggman on it float from the sky. Elsewhere, Princess Peach, Amy Rose, Yoshi, Silver, Donkey Kong, Vector, Wario and Knuckles all receive the same posters, and decide to get to playing baseball.

In the match between Amy and Silver's teams, Amy gets a good swing on a pitch, and as Silver runs to make the catch, it bounces off a Heart Block and becomes a home run, much to Silver's disappointment. Next, in the game between Vector and Donkey Kong's teams, Donkey Kong uses his climbing abilities to catch the ball, but is bitten by a Chain Chomp and forced to drop it. Shortly after, Marine successfully bunts, and Vector makes it to third base while Wario desperately tries to blow the ball into foul range, but to no avail—Lakitu calls a fair ball, leaving Wario to slam his fist into the ground in frustration.

Finally, in the big game between Sonic and Metal Sonic's teams, Sonic is running for home base, but Donkey Kong is on the verge of catching the ball as Peach, Amy, Blaze, Knuckles, Daisy and Toad look away. Mario then bounds over Donkey Kong and reaches home base safely as Donkey Kong is hit in the face with the ball. Later on, after the teams have changed sides, Wario slams Mario's pitch into the stands for an easy home run; as he and Waluigi celebrate to the visible dismay of Mario's, Donkey Kong becomes excited and accidentally pounds Wario into the ground, causing Waluigi to laugh.

Still later in the game, Knuckles is seen throwing the ball to Amy, who then throws to Blaze as Waluigi slides hard towards the base—only to discover Blaze already has the ball, causing him to fall short as Lakitu declares him out. During Donkey Kong's at-bat, he punches the ball, and Shadow watched as Luigi runs after it as it makes a beeline for the bleachers; he manages to jump off the top of the wall and catch it for a second out. Wario is the next batter up, and points his bat at Mario. Mario winds up and throws a fastball that catches fire and passes Wario before he can swing, striking him out; its speed overloads a radar gun in the process. With all three outs, the teams change sides.

With two outs and the game on the line, Sonic is up to bat; as he faces down Wario, he points his bat at the stands in an homage to Babe Ruth's called shot. Wario then lets loose a pitch that Sonic manages to hit as everyone watches in awe—the ball sails directly into the stands where Sonic pointed, scoring a game-winning home run for him and his team. Peach, Amy, Daisy, Blaze, Luigi, Tails and the others celebrate their victory with Mario and Sonic as they reaches home base; as they do, Bowser and Dr. Eggman are shown in the audience, chuckling to themselves.

### Challenge Mode ending Editar

The game's ending plays when Bowser and Eggman's teams is finally beaten in Challenge Mode. It begins with Mario and Sonic entering a park at night, with Luigi, Tails, Princess Peach, Amy Rose, Red Toad, Blue Neutral Chao, Diddy Kong, and Marine excited over their arrival. Then Bowser confidently arrives for a rematch, with characters such as Wario, Bowser Jr, Metal Sonic and Waluigi as his teammates. After everyone gets to their positions, all prepared for the re-match, Sonic makes the pitch. As the ball is thrown, the camera zooms in the ball, revealing the hidden words on it, "WE LOVE BASEBALL!", then the credits roll.
