| − | *[[Peach]]
| |
| − | **The Mushroom Kingdom's princess. Mario has come to her rescue every time she's been kidnapped...which has happened no less than 10 times! Some speculate that an all-Toad security force may be the problem... She joins the game with a Heart Ball as her weapon.

| − | *[[Daisy]]
| |
| − | **Sarasara Land's princess. Mario rescued Daisy from the nasty villain Tatanga. While often compared to Peach, Daisy is both stronger and more tomboyish than her blonde counterpart. She uses a Flower Ball that scatters confusing petals.

| − | *[[Wario]]
| |
| − | **According to Wario, he's both Mario's rival and childhood friend. (This is unconfirmed.) He actually runs his own video-game company and has produced many hot sellers. Garlic is Wario's favorite food. It may lend him his incredible stamina, which makes him excellent at daring plays.

| − | *[[Waluigi]]
| |
| − | **Luigi's eccentric rival. Waluigi is a hardworking player who has been training night and day to gain enough power to best Luigi. The eggplant that his Liar Ball delivers is said to have the power to make those who touch it lose their lunches.

| − | *[[Yoshi]]
| |
| − | **A denizen of Yoshi's Island. Mario's dependable buddy always helps him out of jams. Yoshis use their tongues to eat anything and everything. It's said that Yoshis can turn anything they swallow into eggs. On the diamond, Yoshi's fast legs and accurate tongue make him a great fielder.

| |
| − | *[[Birdo]]
| |
| − | **A dinosaur that spits eggs from her huge mouth. Birdo is very particular when it comes to fashion, though her reliance on the color pink is a bit limiting. Her bow and ring are her pride and joy. Birdo's mouth has massive suction that can even catch a ball by sucking it in.

| − | *[[Donkey Kong]]
| |
| − | **A gorilla known for raw power, DK leads a pretty carefree jungle life... unless someone messes with his bananas, in which case he just loses it. His ancestor, the original Donkey Kong, wore no necktie. His talents lie in beating on primate foes and kart-racing. Fear his Banana Ball!

| |
| − | *[[Diddy Kong]]
| |
| − | **DK's partner and buddy. Diddy's trademark is his red baseball hat. While Donkey Kong boasts incredible power, Diddy's forte is his nimbleness. Using his prehensile tail to great effect, Diddy Kong is a natural fielder who won't ever boot routine balls.

| − | *[[Bowser]]
| |
| − | **Mario's archrival and the king of the Koopa clan. He's challenged Mario and his friends to battles countless times, but his ambitions tend to get crushed every time. His lethal Killer Ball is powerful enough to drag anyone catching it across the field!

| |
| − | *[[Bowser Jr.]]
| |
| − | **Bowser's exuberant son. Bowser lied to him and convinced Jr. that Peach was his mom, resulting in a chaotic adventure for Mario and company. Bowser thinks the Koopa clan is in good hands with his son. He's not just powerful but also surprisingly skilled.

| |
| − | *[[Monty Mole]]
| |
| − | **A lively, sometimes surly mole who lives underground and leaps out whenever someone approaches his den. He usually keeps to himself but always gets fired up for a good baseball game. In fact, when he gets the ball, he almost gets TOO fired up.

| − | *[[Pianta]] x3 (Blue, Red, Yellow)
| |
| − | **A cheerful islander living on the southern paradise called Delfino Island. Piantas are said to be born on the mountains and they are distinguished by the palm tree growing from their heads. Their power makes them flashy, but they're clumsy and slow runners.

| − | *[[Noki]] x3 (Blue, Red, Green)
| |
| − | **A mysterious member of a clan living on the southern paradise of Delfino Island. Nokis evolved from shellfish, and their ancestors are believed to have lived in the sea. While they are skillful and fast runners, they are hampered by a lack of power.

| − | *[[Toad]] x5 (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple)
| |
| − | **Princess Peach's subject. Though he tries to protect the princess from the evil Bowser, she gets kidnapped with disturbing regularity. There are many Toads who look just alike, and though they are generally small and look cute, they are actually quite powerful.

| |
| − | *[[Toadette]]
| |
| − | **A cute Toad girl with plaited locks. Though her profile is relatively unknown, she is definitely a cheery, upbeat girl who's full of energy. Taking advantage of her fast legs and light weight, Toadette can make all sorts of difficult playes look completely routine.

| − | *[[Toadsworth]]
| |
| − | **Princess Peach's attendant. Though he says his life gets shorter every time Princess Peach gets abducted, he is always in good health and full of energy. While he lacks in stamina, he makes up for it by making cool plays that take advantage of his long life's worth of experience.

| − | *[[Magikoopa]] x4 (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow)
| |
| − | **A resident magician of the Koopa clan. The best of the Magikoopas, Kamek, once attempted to abduct the baby Mario brothers, but Yoshi and Baby Mario thwarted his sinister plan. The magic powers of the Magikoopa wand also come in handy in the game of baseball.

| |
| − | *[[Boo]]
| |
| − | **Bowser's underling ghost. Behind the scary face lies a very shy soul. Look most Boos in the eyes and they'll cover their faces...but turn around and they'll attack you! Boos confuse their enemies by flickering in and out of the visible realm, appearing at inconvenient times.

| |
| − | *[[King Boo]]
| |
| − | **The king of the Boos. The golden crown is his trademark, and while he looks similar to other Boos, it's obvious that he's much larger than the others. Not only is he powerful, but he's also a fast runner that gets his speed by hovering over the base paths.

| |
| − | *[[Petey Piranha]]
| |
| − | **A mutation created this boss of the Piranha Plants. Petey can fly in the air for a short while, flapping the leaves that he has developed into primitive arms. When Petey spits a ball out of his toothy mouth, it is lightning-fast.

| − | *[[Baby Mario]]
| |
| − | **The elder of the baby Mario brothers. After arriving in a stork-related calamity, he and Yoshi rescued his little bro. Though he's supposed to be Mario in his youth, you can play them both at the same time for some reason. He has excellent foot speed but lacks power due to his diminuitive size.

| |
| − | *[[Baby Luigi]]
| |
| − | **The younger of the baby Mario brothers. After being abducted by Kamek, he was rescued by Yoshi and Baby Mario. If you see him and Luigi in the same game, try to ignored the temporal paradox. Baby Luigi is quick around the bases but doesn't hit for power. He is, after all, a baby.

| |
| − | *[[Shy Guy]] x5 (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Black)
| |
| − | **A charming, masked soldier. Shy Guys used to serve an evil king named Wart, but they nowadays make a lot of cameo appearances as friendly rivals of Mario. That said, they aren't always good... On the baseball mound, Shy Guys are consistent players with a few weaknesses.

| − | *[[Dixie Kong]]
| |
| − | **Diddy Kong's partner and girlfriend. Her trademark golden ponytail is familiar to monkey fans everywhere. Dixie Kong is just as adventurous as both Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong. Combining great techniques with fast legs, she is a very dependable player.

| − | *[[Goomba]]
| |
| − | **Though Goombas once lived in peace in the Mushroom Kingdom, they betrayed their homeland to side with Bowser. Exactly how Goomba uses his baseball gear is a bit of a mystery. Maybe you can spot the secret technique if you watch closely as he makes plays in the field...

| |
| − | *[[Paragoomba]]
| |
| − | **A Goomba with wings. Just like Koopa Paratroopa, Paragoombas lose their wings and turn into Goobmas if they get stepped on. The Goomba family is made up of expert bunters, although no one really makes a big deal about it. Bunting, after all, isn't all that glamorous.

| |
| − | *[[Koopa Troopa]] x2 (Green, Red)
| |
| − | **A familiar face of the Mario series, this member of the Koopa clan can pull his feet inside his shell to protect himself. Long ago, he didn't even walk upright, but now he's even playing baseball! Though he can do just about everything, he's slow because...well, you know.

| |
| − | *[[Koopa Paratroopa]] x2 (Red, Green)
| |
| − | **Another longtime underling of Bowser. Paratroopa flies through the sky and delivers body shecks to Mario and others, but he's vulnerable to a good stomping, which takes away his wings and turns him into a garden-variety Koopa. His wings allow him to leap up and make great catches.

| |
| − | *[[Dry Bones]] x4 (White, Green, Red, Blue)
| |
| − | **A bony underling of Bowser. Some mysterious power binds the skeletal bodies of Dry Bones together, but they shatter to pieces when they take damage. Of course, over time, they go right back to the way they were without ill effect. Dry Bones throws cursed balls when he pitches.

| − | *[[Hammer Bro.]] x3 (Green, Red, Blue)
| |
| − | **One of Mario's oldest and most annoying foes. The Hammer Bro is said to be the mightiest warrior of Bowser's army. Besides the hammer-throwing variety, there are also Boomerang and Fire Bros as well. Teames fear his aggressive play and lethal bat.
