Sure
@@Cliffordlonghead Because that's what people do on CZcams, I'm so sick of people saying stuff like "WhY aRe YoU eVeRyWhErE?"
Mi pipi is cool
King K. Rool and the Kritters were in Sluggers too. Yea, this was a decade before Smash fully recognized them.
YAY MARYIO MONTH AGAIN
The personality from all the victory and losing animations will forever live rent-free in my head, in all of their quirkiness
Nintendo should just release Mario animated screensavers. Just show off all the personalities these characters can have.

The really annoying part about the Nintendo Dripfeed™is that, like, it works for Splatoon or Smash Bros., because a Shooter needs constant updates to stay relevant, and a common addage is "a fighting game's last patch is its funeral." But Nintendo just adding more characters to their sports games, is, like... You can play golf with two stick figures and be functionally the same.
"shooters need updates to stay relevant"

Some of these games have always stuck around with me simply because of some of the interesting trivia behind them. For instance, Super Sluggers was actually the very last game that King K. Rool made a proper appearance in up until he made his playable debut in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. And Mario Sports Mix actually has a fully made model in the game's files for a Bahamut boss fight that ultimately went unused. That especially is something I would've loved to see in action.
We still got Behemoth for the final boss so im happy
Now I’m picturing full FF7 summons in the game. Image how far you could hit the ball with Supernova.
so bahamut was unused twice in a square enix crossover game
I played Sports Mix so much growing up and honestly I kinda just have a soft spot for it. It’s not the best game but it’s just so fun with some friends and some of the Square Enix nonsense in it is just so… perfectly charming, you know?
There's dozens of us!
me too!!! i love this game
This game is my childhood and I love it. I love the single player mode too! And that final boss was top tier, it was so weird that actually worked for me xD ! The more weird Nintendo game is the more I like it. That's why I have a problem with the newest Nintendo games. They making them realistic and less goofy 😞 But it's just my opinion.
I know! I'm still playing the game today! Just one question for anyone, who knows how to turn off auto jump on volleyball in the rumored options menu?
Honestly... This might be my favourite Mario Sports game of all time. And I nearly only played Volleyball with Waluigi and Bowser Jr. I am ashamed at how many hours I sunk into that one, ever since I was 10 years old.
“He’s mastered nearly a dozen sports? That seems unrealistic”
The dude survived a black hole, twice in fact.
wait Mario galaxy 1 ending? what is the second time
@@diegoaugusto1561 I’m thinking Super Paper Mario and the destruction of the Sammer Kingdom.
thats not the unrealistic part
the unrealistic part is that he surived two black holes and had time to master nearly a dozen sports
They're not just responsible for the personality of Waluigi, they're responsible for his very existence. If that's a positive or negative depends on your point of view.
I would argue the best decision in Mario history
11:47 Never knew Antdude watched Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. 👍
Fun Fact: Mario Power Tennis marked the first time Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong got their current voices. Interestingly, even with that in mind, sometimes Grant Kirkhope and Chris Sutherland’s voices for the duo are still used occasionally.
Another Fun Fact: One of the composers of Mario Hoops: 3 on 3 would end up as a composer for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. I’m serious. 👍
Well, the theme is a banger
I was gonna comment about the Jojo reference too 😂
Those are some fun facts
There’s also another one at 34:02.
That's a Baseball!
I am so happy that not only someone, but Antdude decided to actually talk about the Mario Baseball games. The two baseball games are easily my favorite of the sports games, and everyone treats them as if they don’t exist. Everyone talks about the Tennis, Golf, and Strikers games, and that’s it. I am really hoping that after Battle League, people will speak out and we get a third Mario Baseball game.
I know Akshon did a video on the OG sluggers and on how MASSIVELY deep the game is in just trying to pair up characters. Which gives off a lot of pros and cons in a team comp. And that a small group have been pushing the game to its limits as they try to make it an esport.
I need a new Sluggers, but Nintendo would probably fuck it up
Even when Daisy is talking trash, she’s still adorable.
I just wanna say, there is something about the Mario spinoffs on Gamecube and the way they look that no matter how amazing and advanced technology gets and how amazing looking we can make the graphics, nothing will ever look quite like the Mario spinoff entries on Gamecube, i cannot find the words, i just like how they look so much.
I think part of it is _because_ of being on the gamecube. Early mid 2000s renders of mario characters hits a specific midlle point between the chonky models of the 90s and the high definition models of today. The combination of the lighting and rendering of that era is not easily replicated
Finally, World Tour recognition! This game has been the best golf entry for a good long while but no-one seemed to speak about it! If you have the game, pick up the DLC before it's gone when the 3DS eShop closes!
Agreed, I bought World Tour a month after Super Rush to give it a try and I ended up really loving it! It was the perfect sequel to Toadstool Tour and the amount of content in World Tour was just so shocking to me after having played Super Rush. It’s easily the most overlooked and underrated of the Mario Sports games, and I hope more people decide to try it out cause it’s a really great time.
World Tour and 2012 London OG are the 3DS best sports games Ive played. Pick them up at a fair price while you can!
@@miserablepileofsecrets World Tour + the DLC is cheaper than Super Rush, and that alone is a steal lol
@@simondomino Super Rush is boring as oof. The story is disgusting, the presentation is bland. I mean, World Tour had all those nice fonts and colors for even the bad moves you make, while Super Rush is Helvetica font pure white. Tbh thats the game that made my put my switch back into the closet
@@miserablepileofsecrets Super Rush was ok and it wasn’t even that boring. You’re really overreacting here.
Antdude: "Shoutout to the fantastic trophy animations..."
Also Antdude: *Only shows Luigi's trophy scene where Mario treats him like shit*
Me: Love it XD
Some of y’all have not had siblings I’m just saying
@@Mamaluigi13 Mate, I have 2 older siblings and 2 younger siblings... your accusation is both baseless and false.
7:24 that "some reason" is an old webcomic called brawl in the family, where every april fools comic he would take over and say his signature "too bad, waluigi time"
It was very popular at the time, but is way less impactful now that it ended, but the internet has never forgotten the waluigi-shaped hole in the wall that brawl in the family has left.
Anyone reading this should go check it out, skip to strip 51 for waluigi, if you really want to see him
God I love and miss BitF
TOO BAD, WALUIGI TIME!
Also, Waluigi never did say "Too bad, Waluigi time!" That was entirely made up for Brawl in the Family. Just "Waluigi time!" is the closest thing he did say.
29:25 "europians" and all the other countries in the world
"Hair loss starts with Keeps."
I'll make sure not to buy it then 😉 thanks for the warning Antdude!
Hey, at least it's an honest ad!
Remember kids, if it's shilled by every CZcamsr you turn to, it's aboslute junk! The More You Knooooooow
pfft, I'm pretty sure they are gonna be shocked
I love the fact this hasn't been corrected or even discussed any further since the video dropped, lmao
@@kenn_k guessing I heard it wrong lmfao now I feel stupid
I like how Ant refers to the people in We Love Golf as humans, implying he doesn't think Mario, Peach, etc. are humans.
I don't think they're human either. Remember new donk? The appearance of more realistic humans imply mario, luigi, and peach are something else.
@@turretboi yes, they’re Marios.
@@turretboi They are humans, but they aren't Homo Sapiens.
@@turretboi they are human. The explanation for the new donk thing was a simple "there are different looking ppl in our world, so why not?". And I mean... Yeah, why not? Though it makes me wonder why folks roast the Camelot sports characters still even after New Donkians showed us what it was like to have Mario stand next to actual normies.
honestly thank you for highlighting the amazing positives of mario golf world tour. it would be really cool if you made a video doing an in-depth retrospective of that game like you've done with other games
World Tour was a beautiful tease, like Camelot was blatantly mocking us, we know this is the kind of game you want us to release every time, and we can still do that as evidence by this great game, but this is also the last of our games truly like this.
I love how Strikers Charged looks. Looks like Mario and company are going to war. That's what I feel is missing in the screenshots and trailers of Battle League and it feels pretty tame in comparison.
Super Sluggers is honestly one of my favorite Mario Sport games, the story mode is just so cool, and the gameplay itself is very fun as well.
also, I do get that Tennis Aces is a bit lackluster, but honestly, I've had the most fun playing that locally with friends than with most other switch games i own, it is pretty solid on that regard.
I would also love for Red Dry Bones/Dark Bones to make a return. He’s like a Dry Bones/Dry Bowser hybrid and I love it.
#BringBackRedDryBones
I ADORE Mario Sports Mix, that was my Wii favorite game! It was so much fun! I know it’s a bit boring on the story mode end but I dunno, I just couldn’t stop playing haha
I loved playing Mario sports mix back in the day and its still fun to me
czcams.com/video/lE5U2d1shBM/video.html
Finally it's here.
Yeah sports mix is one of my favorite wii games the sports were really well made
I’ve barely played Mario Sports games so I don’t know what’s so fun about them but thanks for making this video to make me realize that there’s so many Mario Sports game whether they are quality or not, but there’s so many to play (especially the Olympics game happening every 4-5 years).
Please play Mario Tennis on the Gamecube! Super good, especially with friends or family
By the way, there's a pretty big competitive scene for Mario Superstar Baseball (the GameCube one). They've modded online play into the game and have a whole ladder system. Check out the Dinger City YT channel if you want to know more!
Mario Hoops 3 on 3 is underrated, the character roster is good and they even made the Final Fantasy characters look like Mario Characters basicaly only White Mage, also once you get down the road the point system that you used is just gonna get bad because the other team is gonna keep stealing your ball and making scores.
The fact we all brushed past the fact the horses have their eyes moved to the front of their skulls implying Marioverse horses are predators
It's nice to hear a recent take on the switch sports games. Everything at launch said they were too barebones, sounds like a good time to jump in 🎾
I have mad respect for you for giving World Tour it's due. Not only is it my favourite golf game, but I would have to say that it ranks up there in my favourite games of all time. Not enough love is ever given to it, and the general consensus is that it's just an okay game. I was expecting you to go down that route, but you proved me wrong, and I couldn't be happier.
Sports Mix was my childhood, will forever love
I'll never forget my first experience with Mario Sports Superstars where I was so ready for another Strikers that I got the game, booted up Soccer and immediately tried to tackle the ball carrier.
It all went downhill after I saw "FOUL" on my screen.
Yeah it's definitely a massive downgrade but I don't think that the game wanted to be like Strikers.
I know people say this a lot but this is actually the fastest I've clicked been hyped af for Mayrio month. This is also a topic I've really been wanting you to cover I've been playing gbc tennis lately on the 3ds and it's so unique and well just fun
Super Sluggers is genuinely my favorite game ever. I live in a baseball family so its customary that I love this game.
@today was a good day All the cancer in one nice
Also same I love Sluggers
I have so much nostalgia for Super Sluggers
I love that game
"The Wide World of Mario Sports"
Oh, a new Caddicarus video
It's a shame Caddicarus won't do any other type of video besides those.
I love how they went from only the human girls wearing sport outfits to every human-type character to wear sports outfits.
Also, time for a fun fact! During the develoment of Mario Tennis (N64), alongside Waluigi, Camelot wanted it to a created a character name Warupeachie to be Peach's rival. But that got scrapped because Shigeru Miyamoto thought she would look to hideous.
EDIT: NOOOOOO!!!! The bots spawned my comment!!
EDIT 2: YAAAAYYY!!! The bot is gone!!
@today was a good day get outta here ya heckin hecker
Daisy IS Warupeache. Mario has Wario, Luigi has Waluigi, and Peach has Daisy
@@LostSoulSilver Not really, Daisy is Peach's friend, not rival
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 Nobody said she was
That’s the way these Princess operate. They pretend to be all friendly and nice, while sharping up their knives for a backstab.
The fact that Camelot got to introduce Waluigi to the world makes so much sense. Even though I loved it, it also kinda confused me at the time why the intro cutscene to Toadstool Tour focused on him and Wario of all characters.
Actually, the intros for Toadstool Tour and Power Tennis focus more on Wario and Waluigi then on Mario and Luigi, which is pretty funny
It's funny to hear that the Wii Square Enix game was painfully easy. I remember hoops 3 on 3 on DS being one of the most frustrating games I owned.
God....I remember replaying the crap out of Sluggers. Making new configurations of teams, playing on every map. I would LOVE sluggers to return
Mario Sports Superstars actually had it to where Camelot only did Golf and Tennis, Bandai Namco came back to do baseball and the other two modes, Camelot didn’t do the whole game
To be accurate, it's a Bandai Namco led project that called in Camelot to do the Golf and Tennis modes. It's basically what the Smash team did inbetween games.
Antdude: "we dont want Sports games with Mario in them, we want Mario games with Sports in them, if that makes any sense."
Me: as a matter of fact it does, in fact that may be why it's so successful for Mario to be in other game types, cause they build them to be like a Mario game and not just a regular, uninspired money making ploy.
EDIT: oof... guess there was some games like that... i didnt know.
The thing is that it's always been very variable.
Like Mario Tennis 64, Golf 64 and Toadstool Tour for example are very much just Mario characters playing the sports instead of a sport with a Mario Spin.
Meanwhile we have stuff like Power Tennis, Aces, the Strikers games and so on that put a heavy Mario spin on it.
@@Robbie_Haruna well nothing wrong with either way as long as Mario takes center stage AND there is plenty of content.
It's a shame how soulless and sterile they've become, not even talking about GCN vs Switch, even between 3DS and Switch especially comparing victory/losing animations in Mario Golf 3DS and Switch.

Finally it's here.
@@Chkprofilename BEGONE BOT
@@IamaPERSON Nooo!! The bots are invading AntDude!!
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 WE MUST MASS REPORT THEM!
Yeah it sucks to see unfortunately
I hope the soullessness doesn't become the norm going forward
Can we all agree that it's extremely dumb that none of the characters unique to the multiple RPG subseries like Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario basically never showed up in these even before the alleged seemingly-designed-to-spite-the-RPG-fans branding-mandates that they shoved in?
Because that's always been super egregious and bad in my eyes. It's even moreso wrt the Square-Enix developed Mario Sports games because, like... Squeenix's been sitting on the rights to the Mario RPG characters for over a decade! They had two stinking games to do it, it would have been the perfect time to bring them back, and they just didn't! Why?!
Because fuck the fans that's why
I just wanna see Fawful again, he's my fave Mario character and just having him get a minor role in any kind of Mario spinoff would make me happy
Isn't he dead though?
@@HypeVoiceActing i mean mario kart's non canon anyway and it's implied that the babies are only there because of time travel, so he could return
On top of that, when Dry Bowser debuted in New Super Mario Bros, he was literally just Bowser with his flesh burned off. And in Mario Party Island Tour, he's apparently a close family friend, according to Bowser.
Why should something like death be looked at as a restriction to leave characters out, when this universe rarely makes any actual sense in general, and just does whatever it wants?
MARIO SPORTS MIX LET'S GOOOO!!!
I'm so glad this game wasn't forgotten I loved it as a kid
Awwwww man, I LOVED the single player mode in Super Sluggers! I have really fond memories of staying up late with my mom trying to find and figure out all the little puzzles to recruit every character. It even has a cutscene at the end where Bowser saves Mario’s life!
Mario Strikers Charged is easily my favorite of the bunch. Each game felt so intense, and the dynamic stadiums - especially Crystal Palace and Thunder Island - made an already chaotic game even more crazy. I don’t know if a game will ever again capture the feeling of scoring a goal from half field while you’re down 3 players to 1 and a huge cheep-cheep is blowing across the field.
Good News! Princess Daisy is officially here now, along with Shy Guy to boost.
I actually love Mario Tennis Open. It had a lot of cool courts, minigames, a decent character roster, and Mii customization. Oh yeah, and that’s another thing, this is one of the few Mario Sports games where you can play as your Mii.
Mario Tennis Open needs more love.
Mario Golf: Advance Tour is the best game ever made. I will not elaborate.
You know there's an entire plot twist, that Daisy could be the final boss in the story mode, of the new strikers game! Which means I expect to see a whole new set of Internet clips of" you didn't see it coming!"
The queen of sports shall rise!
Just like how Luigi got possed with the Golden Tennis racket in Aces? Cool idea
11:42 - That is GOLD... X'D
I like Mario Sports Mix. Like, the addition of some Final Fantasy characters, four sports you can play, a boss. Yup. Love it.
Me at like 10 years old or something saying that Mario Sports Mix was like my 2nd favourite game ever, that game was a banger. I'll probably end up playing it for the next week or so now that I'm reminded.
Wonder how ant feels about battle league
I love the Toad that pogged on the thumbnail
I actually went into a bit of a rabbit hole with the Hot Shots Golf games recently, and learned some interesting stuff.
A.)It is called "Everybody's Golf" in other parts of the world
B.) It was picked up by a company called "Clap Hanz" after the first one and the series was still published by Sony since they apparently wanted a golf game on their console that badly
C.) This series is almost the only thing that Clap Hanz has ever worked on, with Everybody's Golf 2 being their first game ever
D.) This series has seen a bunch of guest characters, including, but not limited to, Jak, Daxter, Ratchet, Clank, Pac Man, Gex, Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza, Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal, and the thing that got me into this rabbit hole to begin with, Kratos from God of War still voiced by the original VA, Terrence Carson.
So yeah, the series that Camelot left behind is... an interesting one.
That strikers battle league segment really didn’t age well
@betafurret1503 Considering everything he said about the Strikers games, i wouldnt be suprised if he actually liked Battle League more then Charged.
@@Aktedya1-jt7vw It wouldn’t be his worst take
As someone who grew up with Mario Tennis Open I agree it is worse than other entries in the series but it wasn’t all bad. The tournament mode was fun and the cpus were very challenging on the higher difficulty’s. The majority of the fun from the gameplay itself comes from blocking your opponents super shots and setting up your own so it did feel like more of a necessary shot every time than an optional gimmick. There were also QR code’s you could scan to get all different color yoshi and metal Mario which was cool, plus the customization and playing as your mii was very enjoyable
I actually love that game.
13:01 I never thought I would hear a Golf Story reference from you, but I love it because that game is amazing
Love me some 3v3 hoops. Such an underrated DS game in my opinion. Just oddly charming
Strikers was always my favorite Mario sports game
Really excited for the new one this summer
31:45 I loved this detail in strikers how the characters would get dirty. I hope the detail of characters getting dirty will be in battle league too.
This makes me even sadder about Battle League
7:32. SMG4 must really appreciate hearing that from you. 😁
Tennis Aces is truly underrated imo. The gameplay is great and It actually feels like the updates made the game a lot better, unlike some other games that use the drip-feed model.
11:46
you cant do that to me dude im dying rn
„I feel like that‘s a voiceline from 10-15 years ago“
Isn‘t that straight-up just a voiceline from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga?
As a... Penguins fan, I'm intrigued that it all started with a hockey game. I'm sure it's no NHL 94 but that's just a cool novelty tbh
And then they put it in Mario Sports mix to a resounding... "what".
So, yes the debate can be put to bed, Sports Mix is a top 10 hockey game on the Wii. Maybe.
Mario sports mix was a jam
@@mattieice4785 But was it a SONIC Jam?
@@ExtremeWreck no, but as a matter of fact, it was a space jam.
@@generallyunimportant It was more of a space jam than A New Legacy was. HA!
You can't forget Golf on the Game Boy either. It legitimately does star Mario in it unlike the NES one. World Tour and Power Tennis honestly were top tier. The more recent stuff has a decent amount of content but lack side modes and the base games at launch were pretty anemic of content. Post-launch support should be a big game getting even more content, not a small game getting completed.
The sports RPG games on the portables were so good, too.
mario 3 on 3 was a gem with my introduction of final fantasy
As a kid I always played 3v3 basketball, the music still hits hard
The ones I played the most were Mario super sloggers and toadstool tour. My favorite was sluggers though, I would still be playing it if my copy still worked
I still play mine
I don't think the Mega Strikes in Charged ruin the game to the point that the GameCube entry is superior, Charged is just such a massive improvement in every other way, especially when you start learning advanced moves using the chip button.
I love the Super sluggers announcer so much. Just hearing that silly voice makes me chuckle when I hear him go "foul' and "strike".
3 on 3 hoops and strikers charge was my favorite sport since I never got the chance to try gamecube and 64. Never got any other sport on the wii or tried any golf game. Some do sound like fun and I like to try them sometimes.
Honestly, I loved the handheld Mario Golf/Tennis games. Sure, you could argue they were "Mario in name only" since they mostly starred original characters, but it was great getting to level up your characters, and then sending them off to the console version of the game to play as them in 3D! (with the sad exception of Power Tennis) I really wish that Camelot would make another one, but I guess the mandates on Paper Mario also affected these two...
While they might not be the greatest Mario characters, I liked the original characters in Mario Tennis: Power Tour. Sure, the Junior/Senior characters get quickly outclassed, but they do have their fans here and there.
Still hoping for Plum, Charlie, Sonny, Maple, and Harry to return one day. Kind of felt like they were made to help expand the Mario roster a little - kind of like how Waluigi was made to be a partner for Wario - yet it's weird that all of them only made one appearance before disappearing forever. (Well, Plum did appear in Mario Golf GBC, but only if you selected Dictionary from the options menu.) You can't tell me it wouldn't be better seeing Plum and her friends in Mario Kart 8 instead of Mario and Peach variants like Pink Gold Peach and Racoon Mario.
I also thought you weren't going to talk about Mobile Golf, let alone the recent fan-translation it got! Honestly, I wasn't expecting that game to ever get translated, but it makes me happy to know that it did. (especially after pouring my time into it to rip some of the sprites and graphics from the game)
Hoops 3-on-3/Slam Basketball is the best one and no one can convince me otherwise.
That Mario voice clip from “10-15 years ago” is actually from Superstar Saga.
I’d know any voice clips from that game that weren’t already reused from 64 or Sunshine anywhere.
Dodgeball was the best (and only good) part of Sports Mix. It deserves to be its own game especially If they applied what they’ve done with Strikers Battle League to it.
32:59 welp, he was wrong
The amount of work u put into your videos is crazy. Thanks for these videos man, I always look forward to them and save them for a time I can give them 100% attention. Love ur stuff man. Can't stress that enough. Well done
11:43 🤣you did not have to do that, but I thank you for it
Mario sports mix for the Wii is a super underrated game!
I agree!
33:12 Well...
11:46 holy shit that caught me so off guard but that was so funny, great content as always!
34:01 THERES MORE?
I actually choked on my gum on that gag at 11:46. Ant you beautiful fucking bastard I love you.
Mario power tennis is definitely one of my favorites.
"What in the wide world of Mario sports is going on here?!"
Mario Superstar Baseball is one of my favorite GameCube games ever, I have such great memories playing it with my brother. He somehow convinced me that in order to catch the ball you had to avoid the glowing circle to catch it....I figured it out eventually
3 on 3 hoops is so overlooked I played that DS game so much
Did anyone else notice he said “hair loss starts with keeps” lol
i think tennis and golf and soccer are cool but i want more weird sports with a bit of mario flair, give me a mario themed bowling game or something
I hope they consider making Mario Ballet
OK Ant... That joke at 11:42 hurt me more than it needed to...
Nothing can ever top the presentation of the GameCube Mario Tennis and Golf titles. Especially the opening cinematics
I will hear no arguments saying otherwise
8:30 - I actually miss these one-off characters and would like them to come back. We keep getting generic specimens these days.
I would much rather Plum over like... Spike.
He was so wrong about Mario strikers on switch
funny thing about Mario Superstar Baseball. theres a small competitive scene and the community is SUPER wholesome. a fun little channel called Dinger City, ONLY posts mario superstar baseball content, and has many seasons of content to watch. i HIGHLY recommend.
One of my favorite fun facts is that Soken (Yes FFXIV Soken) composed on both Square Enix Mario sports game. I also don't remember what games was in Soken's discography before Mario Hoops 3 on 3 but its one of his earliest jobs I think.
Seeing fan-art of the idea, before Mario Strikers Battle League, I would’ve loved a Super Smash Strikers spin-off more than the idea of Nintendo Kart
