When you ask any fan of Mario Super Sluggers for their top five characters in the game you will get a wide variety of picks. However one character is in everyone's top five, almost always in the top three, and is the consensus pick for best in the game: Petey Piranha. Petey is a powerhouse in all areas except pitching. He is the best power hitter in the game with a strong 10/10 batting stat and a consistent hit box, any ball hit remotely well has a shot of being a homerun. He has the best dive in the game with a super dive ability on steroids, making it easy for him to snag a line drive into a double play or rob any ground ball. He has an incredibly strong arm that is exceptionally valuable for throwing runners out, which makes him the perfect choice for a shortstop or third baseman. His chesmitry is limited but it connects a trifecta of himself, Wiggler, and King Boo for a deadly trio. Petey's chemistry with Birdo also opens up access to the Yoshi chemistry and adds extra versatility for a player's team. He is still not flawless due to his pathetic pitching and his poor 2/10 running speed but Petey is often the community's consensus pick for the GOAT of Mario Super Sluggers.
