Nintendo Life's weekly "Box Art Brawl" feature pits the North American/European and Japanese box art for GameCube title Mario Superstar Baseball against each other, inviting readers to vote for their favourite. The 2005 sports game was well received at the time, though the site notes it wouldn't necessarily be everyone's top pick for a future Nintendo Switch Online addition given the long wait for GameCube titles.

The Western cover shows a dynamic pitching scene with Mario facing off against a bat-wielding Bowser, alongside Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario and Luigi in the background, while the Japanese version takes a simpler approach with Mario front and centre against a white backdrop featuring the game's Japanese-language title. This follows last week's contest, in which Japan's Digimon World 4 box art won decisively with 85% of the vote; a new poll for Mario Superstar Baseball has just opened with no results yet.
