Waluigi is by far the best pitcher in the game Mario Superstar Baseball. But it's well known that he's an awful hitter. Waluigi is so weak at batting, is it even possible to hit a home run with him? Some suspect Nintendo actually rigged this game so that Waluigi can't hit one out of the park. Well, he can, and with some careful planning and good technique, you can too.

Steps

Have someone to help you. It may take thousands of tries to hit a home run with Waluigi against the computer, so a second player is a must-have. Make sure this person is okay with being the one to give up the big hit.

On the selection screen, choose your team captains. You will sign in as Waluigi and your second player should select Wario. Wario is an excellent choice, because his fastball is always perfectly straight and for some reason, batters tend to hit his pitches farther than anyone else's.

Choose Donkey Kong Jungle. This ballpark works great, because the outfield walls are closer in than all the other stadiums, making the homerun more likely.

Before you start the game, make sure Waluigi is hitting in the leadoff (1) spot. Also make sure Waluigi's team is batting first. This makes it so that you can get right to hitting with Waluigi.

Have your player two (Wario) throw the first pitch. Waluigi is a strange hitter, so be sure he charges up at exactly the same time Wario does. When Wario is fully charged, he will throw his "blazing fastball," the fastest pitch he can throw. This is important, because the faster the throw is, the faster the hit will be, and thus it will go farther.

Swing. Once Wario has thrown the pitch, you (Waluigi) should swing. But there is a catch to this - Waluigi has to swing late. Not late enough that he misses the pitch, but just late enough so that it goes to the left part of the field. Waluigi is left handed, and most lefties pull the ball towards right field, but with Waluigi this doesn't work. It will actually be less powerful if he pulls it right.

If you hit it just late enough, the ball will be hit high in the air. It will soar towards the left field foul-pole. And if you hit it perfectly, the ball will land fair or hit the pole, both resulting in a home run just over the outfield wall. But most likely, the ball will not be hit perfectly. Either the outfielders will catch it, or it will be a foul ball. You might even miss the pitch entirely by trying to swing too late. If this is the case, just try to get the next pitch. If Waluigi is out, then exit back out to the Main Menu and try again. It may take many tries before you hit it right. But when you do, you get the satisfaction of accomplishing the hardest feat in this game - hitting a home run with Waluigi. You also get to see his almost never-before-seen home run celebration!
