Mario Super Sluggers

The best Mario sports game of all time. Fun story mode with fun puzzles, unlocking characters is actually a thing in this game instead of having the full roster given to you with some DLC characters like in Mario Golf: Super Rush or Tennis Aces, the roster is huge and creative with characters like King K Rool and Toadsworth and even the clone characters are atleast iconic in some way (like Paratroopa/Paragoomba being clones of iconic enemy characters) and aren't just there like Pink Gold Peach was in Mario Kart 8, there are several fun ballparks that each have a day and night version with different gimmicks, the items and star power make for loads of added chaos, there's 3 different control options based on how you feel comfortable playing so you aren't just restricted to one control style, and (most of) the minigames have their own fun twist to them. You can literally be the biggest hater of Baseball, the sport itself, and still enjoy this game. The only worrying thing about this game is how badly modern Nintendo would butcher it if the game came on the switch, especially if you look at how Battle League, Aces, and Super Rush turned out.
