This game has an odd design. The screen will often zoom out, making this scene difficult to see. The game takes place inside a small green room in the middle of space with the [[Space Umpire]]. As the music plays, a brown flowerpot will throw out baseballs, which the [[Air Batter]] must hit by pressing A. The flower pot will occasionally throw high balls which require the player to wait an extra beat before pressing A. Occasionally, the screen will zoom out, requiring the player to track the balls using the music alone.
In this game, the [[Air Batter]] hits baseballs that come out from a flowerpot in a small, green box in space. Ocassionally, the balls are shot higher up, requiring the player to wait an extra beat before hitting it. The [[Space Umpire]] sits in a UFO on the windowsill in the middle of the box. The camera zooms in and out, sometimes very far, during gameplay.
 
In the middle of the game, while the [[Air Batter]] is hidden offscreen by the zoom, he appears to change into a pink/purple costume with a bunny mask. After this, the screen zooms way out, with him changing into a yellow/blue costume and a red spherical head mask which comically emotes as he swings. At the very end, a rice ball is shot out instead.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Although the game lacks a conventional [[Practice]], the game will actually not start until the player hits a few balls correctly. The game was given a tutorial in the [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|arcade version]] and a practice session in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*Although the game lacks a conventional [[Practice]], the real game doesn't actually start until the player hits a few balls correctly. The game was given a tutorial in the [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|arcade version]] in addition to this, and a [[Practice]] replacing it in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*This game and [[Exhibition Match]] both show up in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', meaning the game has two separate Baseball-themed games.
*The epilogues depict yellow aliens on a brown rocky planet, which aren't seen during gameplay. [[Martian|A similar looking cyan alien]] appears in [[First Contact]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*The name of this game is either a pun on the word "baseball," or it could be a parody of the 1987 film ''Spaceballs''.
*The aliens in the Superb epilogue are similar to the one in [[First Contact]], except gold-colored.
