Super Mario Stadium Baseball Tabletop Game Available at Discounted Price

Mario is no rookie when it comes to baseball, having taken to the field with Mario Superstar Baseball on GameCube and again with Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii. He's now returning to the sport with Epoch Games Super Mario Stadium Baseball, a tabletop game that has him and his friends swinging for the fences. It's a cute-looking game—and right now you'll find it for just $51.49 (was $60). This is a limited-time deal, and we're not sure how long it'll be around, so it's worth taking advantage of the discount while you can.

The action takes place on a tiny, tabletop version of a baseball field. There are four Super Mario collectible figures with the set (Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, Boo), though you'll find less detailed character players for 10 other familiar faces scattered throughout the playing surface. Designed for two players, one pitches while the other bats. The pitcher can vary the ball's speed, trying to trick the batter into making a bad swing. The batter, meanwhile, is trying to knock the ball out of the park and score as many runs as they can.

Prefer kicking a ball over hitting it with a bat? Epoch Games also recently released Super Mario Soccer Striker. This plays a bit like rod hockey or foosball, with players manipulating sticks to move their characters across the board as they attempt to kick a ball into the opponent's goal. It comes with everything you need to play, as well as four Collectible Figures for Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Yoshi.

We've seen some resellers offering it for extremely high prices—so give it a look now that the official listing from Amazon is available and in stock. The availability of the official listing provides a more reasonable pricing option for fans who want to add this Mario-themed tabletop game to their collection.

Epoch Games makes a bunch of tabletop Mario games, plenty of which have nothing to do with sports. Super Mario Blow Up Shaky Tower, for example, sees you balancing characters on an unstable tower—making it a mustachioed alternative to Jenga. There's also a Super Mario Maze Game Deluxe that'll put your reflexes to the test, as well as a small Mario Kart Racing Deluxe Set that sees cars flying around the track.

The company's catalog includes various tabletop experiences that bring the Mario universe to life in physical form. These games range from skill-based challenges to racing games, providing diverse options for Mario fans who enjoy tabletop gaming. The Lucky Coin Game is available for $31 (was $34), the Maze Game Deluxe is priced at $30, Mario Kart Racing Deluxe is $40, and the Shaky Tower Balancing Game is on sale for $10 (was $20).

Beyond Epoch Games, Mario has made quite a showing in the tabletop world. From chess sets and Monopoly to Guess Who and Uno, the faces of Mushroom Kingdom have appeared in all sorts of classics. So, regardless of what type of tabletop game you're interested in, there's probably a version featuring Mario and his friends.

The extensive range of Mario-themed tabletop games demonstrates the character's enduring popularity and versatility across different gaming formats. Whether players prefer strategy games, party games, or action-based tabletop experiences, there's likely a Mario version available that combines familiar gameplay with the beloved characters from the Mushroom Kingdom.

The Super Mario Stadium Baseball game represents another successful collaboration between Nintendo and tabletop game manufacturers, bringing the excitement of baseball to a compact, accessible format. The inclusion of collectible figures adds value for collectors, while the gameplay mechanics provide entertainment for players of all ages.

As the holiday shopping season continues, these discounted Mario tabletop games offer great options for gift-giving. The combination of recognizable characters, engaging gameplay, and reasonable pricing makes them appealing choices for both Mario fans and tabletop game enthusiasts.
