'''''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 ==
== Problems ==
=== Sound Desyncs ===
The musical instruments may desync with one another with DSP HLE. Desyncs can lead to game freezes. Use [[DSP LLE]] to fix it.
=== Neon Sign Mini-game ===
During the Neon Sign mini-game, the camera will zoom in on the sign, but something white will cover it and make it incredibly difficult to complete the mini-game. This problem could be prevented in the past by turning on "Disable Per-pixel Depth", but that option was removed in {{revision|3.5-147}}. The addition of the Fast Depth Calculation control in 3.5-1344 did NOT correct this problem.Turning graphics to "Show Wire Frame" makes it possible to both see and complete, but it is still quite hard. See {{issue|6013}}.

=== Shaking ===
=== Shaking ===
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.

=== <s>Blur</s> ===
=== <s>Neon Sign Mini-game</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}}.
When using the D3D9 graphics backend, during the Neon Sign mini-game the camera will zoom in on the sign, but something white will cover it and make it incredibly difficult to complete the mini-game. This issue is a problem with the zcomploc hack, and could not be fixed in D3D9. See {{issue|6013}} and the [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2013/10/12/d3d9-why-its-not-part-dolphins-future/ article]. Fixed by the removal of D3D9 in {{revision|4.0-155}}.
