another mario spin-off or one that steps out of the bunch
the story mode: you would think that for a sports game that nobody needs a story mode it's just playing baseball after all... but Nintendo proves you wrong. super sluggers picks up the idea of the Mario superstar baseball story mode and makes it just so much better. 1st you recruit every character one by one by completing various challenge so that's one, then there is the fact that you don't need to play the story mode each time for each different captain because you get to control the other them straight threw one run of the story mode. then the story mode requires you to come back later to certain places to unlock the last characters of the level because to unlock some characters you need the special powers of a specific captain easiest example is to unlock Monty mole you need to find him at the beach and use peaches power close to him (i know it's a bit spoiling but it is one the most obvious one anyway so...)
cast of character: this game is just pack with Mario characters i mean: Petey piranha, dry bones, hammer bros, king boo, Monty mole and blooper just to name a few it even has some donkey kong character and for not to spoil you too much i'm only going to tell you one of the new ones:-WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!- kritter -WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!- (because yes there's more) it has mostly every Mario character you could think of that would make it in any Mario spin-offs and when i say every Mario character i mean it heck it even has changeable colors for some characters allowing you to play as ex: three different hammer bros(fire bros, boomerang bros...) on the same team...
this game is just good no matter how much you may hate the wii remote even that is not enough to keep you away from this awesome game.
