1 Introduction
**************
Hello reader, how are you today? If you said good, then that's great. If you
said not so good, then that's not that great. Anyways, I put together this FAQ
to show the compatibility of the characters in Mario Superstar Baseball. For
now this FAQ just covers which characters get along, and does not cover which
characters are incompatible. SOoner or later I will update with the
incompatibility list. Putting that together will take some time,seeing as how I
will need to make every team combination possible and test each character out.
But hopefully, for now, this FAQ helps you out in some way or another.


*****************************
2 Importance of Compatibility
*****************************
Compatibility is a very important part of Mario Superstar Baseball. When two
characters get along, they will hit and throw better than usual to each other.
Things like this show that Mario Superstar Baseball involves much more strategy
than it appears to have. Compatibility can make or break your game.


*******************************
3 How To Tell Who Is Compatible
*******************************
It's very easy to tell what players are compatible with each other. When you
pick all 9 players for your team and bring up the Batting Order/Fielding
Position Screen, compatible characters will have a music note displayed above
their picture. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell what characters are
compatible until after you pick your team. Well, that is, until now. ;)


*********************
4 Using Compatibility
*********************
Compatibility comes into play during both batting and fielding. When making
your batting order, put compatible characters next to each other. You want to
do this because when a compatible charcter is on base while you bat, you have
good chance of hitting the ball much better than you normally would. In some
cases, this might even decide the difficulty of hitting a homerun with certain
characters. The more compatible players you have on base, the even better
chance you have of hitting the ball successfully.

When choosing your fielding positions, try and keep compatible characters in
positions that work with each other alot. You want to do this because the ball
will be thrown significantly faster than usual when throwing to a compatible
character. It also decreases the chances of an error taking place. People are
very different when choosing compatible positioning. I myself like to have all
of my infield compatible to better my chances of throwing out someone trying to
steal a base. One of my friends, on the other hand, likes to have his outfield
to be compatible with his infielders. For example, the right fielder and
1st/2nd baseman. He does this in order to better his odds of getting a runner
out if he misses a fly ball. Basically, try them both out and do whatever works
best for you.

Well, that's all I have for now on compatibility. Hopefully this FAQ makes you
a better Mario Superstar Baseball player than you initially were. And please,
feel free to email me about changes, additions, mistakes, etc. I would love to
hear from you, even if it's just to say how my FAQ didn't help you at all.
