These were always some of my favorite Mario sports games along with tennis. I've played super star and super sluggers. They both have some cheap tricks though but the large rouster is fun and amusing (seriously, a goomba? Even with no arms...) I also didn't care the story mode in either so I just played regular matches all of the time. Still though I liked the fact that there was lots of strategy and differences between characters, even if some of the special moves, items, etc got cheap at times. I also liked the chemistry mechanic since it made you choose teams carefully.
