"I'm eating rice balls, so it's right on the mark!"
— Space Slugger - Rhythm Tengoku

The Space Slugger appears alongside a small alien in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

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.

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

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 the Space Slugger several questions. It is revealed that he has a girlfriend named Celeste, who is never referenced again in the Rhythm Heaven franchise. Space Slugger describes his affection towards rice balls, and when asked about why he changes costumes, he quickly leaves the interview.

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.
