'''''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.
'''''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.

== Problems ==
=== Shaking ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
With the DX11 backend, the screen will constantly shake vertically at a 1 pixel size. The game is still playable, but it is very annoying. DX9 and OpenGL do not have the shaking error, use one of those as your video backend to avoid the issue.
=== Background Menu Not Blurred ===
'''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' must be disabled to blur the background of the menu, like on the real hardware.


=== Sound Desyncs ===
{{image|MarioSluggersMenu-EFBtoTex.jpg|'''EFB Copies to Texture Only''' On}}
The musical instruments may desync with one another with DSP HLE. Use [[DSP LLE]] to fix it.

=== <s>Blur</s> ===
}}}}
Mario Super Slugger uses a blur effect in some menus. EFB to Texture does not emulate this effect. It is only present during menus and has no impact on gameplay whatsoever, so use EFB to RAM to restore the effect if you want it. Corrected by an unknown revision before {{revision|3.5-397}}.

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-21088|OS=Windows 11|CPU=AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060|result=Ran near-consistent 60fps, with only very sporadic frame drops. The Wii Remote frontwards has poor detection of when a pitch is underway and in which direction, making ''Piranha Panic'' near-impossible to win without a Nunchuk or by changing to sideways hold. Dolby Pro Logic II support works very well.|tester=DandelionSprout}}
