==Physical Appearance==
The Space Slugger is a green, human-like figure. It's never mentioned if he's specifically a human or not though. He has no face and a white helmet on top of his head. He wears a white baseball outfit and holds a yellow baseball bat. As well as a black belt, the Space Slugger also wears black shoes.


Throughout [[Spaceball]], the Space Slugger puts on various different costumes. The first of which appears to be a bunny rabbit. His clothes and skin turn pink, and he wears a rabbit head. His shoes and belt turn pink as well.

==Story==
In [[Rhythm Tengoku]], when you perfect [[Spaceball]], you get an email called "Inside Spaceball." This email is a transcript of an interview between the Space Slugger (referred to as Mr. Spaceballer) and TV show host Ryan Williams. To start the show (which is called ''Radio Heaven News in Deep Space'') Ryan Williams asks Mr. Spaceballer how he's doing, to which he replies he's doing well, as he gave it his all in his last [[Spaceball]] game.

I didn't mean to knock it into the endless void of space--it was supposed to fill the endless void of my stomach. So...hungry..." ~ [[Rice Ball]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.
 
The interview continues as Ryan Williams asks him more questions.
 
"How's the season looking right now?"
 
<div style="font-size:12pt;color:blue;">"I'm eating rice balls, so it's right on the mark!"</div>
 
"And what is your goal in all this?"
 
<div style="font-size:12pt;color:blue;">"To not forget the rice balls!"</div>
 
Although it seems like the rest of the interview is going to be about rice balls, Ryan Williams asks an interesting question. The answer to which, is never referenced again.
 
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
 
<div style="font-size:12pt;color:blue;">"Yes, I do."</div>
 
"What food is she good at cooking?"
 
<div style="font-size:12pt;color:blue;">"It's rice ball!"</div>
 
The interview ends after Ryan Williams asks the Space Slugger about his masks and costumes. The Space Slugger denies changing costumes, replying,
 
<div style="font-size:12t;color:blue;">"What are you talking about?"</div>
and
 
<div style="font-size:12pt;color:blue;">"I don't know what you're talking about."</div>
When asked to answer the question properly, he leaves stating that his time is up.
 
==Purpose==
Space Slugger hits balls into space in a basic rhythm. The player must quickly decipher whether a ball launched at him is a high ball or normal ball.


In the [[Superb]] epilogues to [[Spaceball]] and [[Air Batter 2]], he receives a trophy for winning first "space". In the other epilogues, he's shown to be very polite, offering an alien his rice ball in exchange for a ball which hit the alien's UFO, and he is seen pulling a tire to train himself. During an [[Rhythm Shiryo Shitsu#エアーバッター速報 (Air Batter Report)|interview]], he talks fondly of rice balls, and mentions his girlfriend (who incidentally is good at cooking rice balls).

Appears in

The Air Batter[1] (エアーバッター?, Eā Battā) appears alongside the Space Umpire in Spaceball in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

The Air Batter is a green, human-like figure. He has no face and a white helmet on top of his head. He wears a white baseball outfit and holds a yellow baseball bat. He wears a black belt as well as black shoes.

Throughout Spaceball, the Air Batter puts on various different costumes. The first of which appears to be a bunny rabbit. His clothes and skin turn pink, and he wears a rabbit head. His shoes and belt turn pink as well.

His other costume replaces his head with another big red head. His clothes turn yellow and blue, along with his belt and shoes. The red head itself has big eyes and sweats nervously whenever he hits the baseballs.

Story

The Air Batter is a youth devoted to baseball and rhythm.[1] During Spaceball, he brought a Rice Ball for lunch, but lost it at some point[2]. It appeared mixed in with the balls, and he hit it without a second thought, sending into the void of space. He regretted this while complaining about being hungry[3].

In the Superb epilogues to Spaceball and Air Batter 2, he receives a trophy for winning first "space". In the other epilogues, he's shown to be very polite, offering an alien his rice ball in exchange for a ball which hit the alien's UFO, and he is seen pulling a tire to train himself. During an interview, he talks fondly of rice balls, and mentions his girlfriend (who incidentally is good at cooking rice balls). When asked why he wears masks during the game, he dodges the question and leaves the interview. It's likely he has no special reason for wearing them[4].
