Right on! Not the category-killer I'm after, but a solid example of what this run should look like. I'm only a Grumpy Cat because Bowser literally killed me.
All minigames first try, with extraordinary RNG generosity from the game from start to finish. I'm not gonna get used to them being this friendly :P
Mario was 2nd inning and finished "ahead" of schedule because I got a very lucky Toad HR, Toad Body Check, and Toad MVP within the first two innings- that, combined with getting Daisy/Peach Double Play and Peach Big Play gave me confidence to proceed and try and get Toadette and Toadsworth Big Plays in future matches. Overall, a great Mario- missing Daisy 3 Hit then was my only regret.
Yoshi was 4th inning mercy and not for any particularly good reason- my batting was just off. I was able to secure Toadsworth Big Play and Daisy 3 Hit, though, so I made the most of it. Still a highly improvable match.
Note Block took ~1:20 to set up and was 10th try. Really not great, but what can you really say? "Get luckier"? I was just glad to have gotten it done within a reasonable amount of time at all. If a future run gets it faster, awesome.
DK was 3rd inning mercy and did not earn Toadette Big Play, which was unfortunate and suboptimal. Could definitely have gone worse, though.
Wario was 3rd inning mercy and did get Toadette Big Play, albeit in the bottom of the 1st- that meant I could have finished in the 2nd inning if my batting had been better, but there were a few fumbles.
Bowser was a crushing disappointment. In my first go I made numerous input errors on top of not playing very well in general, but I could definitely have salvaged things... until that Bowser solo HR. That's a reset. I decided to give it one more go and I'm glad I did, because the second attempt at Bowser went awesome and demonstrated perfectly how the first attempt should have gone.
More Peach Monarchs and All Superstars route testing are my next major projects. Catch my stream to see them happen! :)

Awesome. Definitely not perfect, especially with those batting and Bob-Omb Derby performances, but this is an overall competent and clear demonstration of my solution for the Mario IL. A quick and efficient Jr. defense encounter for Big Play, followed by a 16 PA first-inning mercy with no heinous mistakes in the execution. Truth be told, I was expecting to be resetting for much longer...
I eventually settled on Monty for the pitcher during the Jr match because he seemed to have the easiest time beaning Jr, which is much faster than switching Marios position a second time. Jr doesnt line out to SS or 2B hardly ever, either, so I gave up on trying to make Jr in particular work for me. Better to just roll the Bones again and be done with it. 1:08 is definitely on the faster end of Jr. encounters I was getting in attempts up to this point. Under a minute is possible if you can get the Big Play as pitcher against the first Dry Bones, who has a 25% chance of bunting. I still havent gotten the bunt Big Play, but I believe it to be possible (Marios just not as quick as Toadette and it shows...)
I used RNG manip to obtain what I determined to be the ideal Bowser Jr. encounter - runners on 1st and 2nd rather than fully loaded bases, and with Jr. moving as directly into my path on the overworld map as I could convince him to. To do this, you need to soft reset the game, go into the Exhibition Games first screen, and then call for a random captain 7 times. This calls the RNG responsible for directing Bowser Jr.s map movement 112 times, which is why I refer it as RNG [112]. Then just move up and right like I did, and youll get the encounter.
I went back and forth between DK and Wario for my main match opponent, usually opting for Wario if Jr. wasnt blocking my path and DK if he was. I cant say why I decided to go for DK rather than Wario given Jr. wasnt in my way this time around, but suffice it to say I dont regret the decision in the slightest.
