Mario Super Sluggers, known in Japan as Super Mario Stadium Family Baseball (スーパーマリオスタジアム ファミリーベースボール, Sūpā Mario Sutajiamu Famirī Bēsubōru), is a sports video game for the Wii developed by Namco Bandai Games and NOW Production, and published by Nintendo. It is part of the Mario Sports series, and the sequel to Mario Superstar Baseball for the Nintendo GameCube. It was unreleased in Europe and Australia, due to being in production at the same time as Mario Kart Wii that was released two months earlier.

The gameplay of Mario Super Sluggers is similar to that of its predecessor: an arcade-style baseball game with power ups, multiple gameplay modes, and minigames. Sluggers primarily differs from Superstar Baseball with the addition of Wii controls akin to the Baseball sub-game in Wii Sports. There are three control methods available: Wii Remote by itself, Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and the Wii Remote held sideways.

Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
3.0-683	Windows 7	Intel Core i3-530 @ 3.52 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti	Tested using pretty much the default settings. No major audio/video issues. The game seems to need a high-end CPU despite not having many differences to its prequel. Getting 40FPS on menus, and 35FPS in game.	Orang
5.0-3427	Windows 7	Intel Celeron G1610 @ 2.6 GHz	Intel HD Graphics	Well, none of the bugs on the problems section was present, but the game is quite heavyweight, ran 35-45 FPS ingame.	EblfIYH
