Hey people, I 'm in Europe and can't play Mario Super Sluggers. Does anyone know how to play the game in a PAL console?

I'm European too, and I have Super Mario Stadium Family Baseball (yes, the Japanese version) working on my PAL Wii.
Just install Homebrew Channel, run GeckoOS, and in the config, set it on NTSC (PAL50 is laggy, and PAL60 doesn't work).
Here's a video of mine, playing the game:

Before you ask: It's black and white, because my DVD Recorder doesn't understand NTSC signals.
For some reason, my TV does understand NTSC signals, so it's coloured on that.

1. The American version wasn't available yet when buying.
2. It's like playing an English, anyway.
3. I also used it as a part of learning Nihongo (Japanese).
わかりますか？
Edit:
A full tutorial for pre-Homebrewers comes soon (I hope, I have a job, and I have to finish my school).

Other than homebrew, isn't there another way to play the game? I know that the Freeloader option ain't gonna work, because your firmware has to be really old (3.3 I think). Mine is 4.2 now so Freeloarder is not gonna work. I think that Nintendo is really lame for not giving a legitimate option to PAL console owners.

Freeloader is for 3.2 only (3.3 doesn't work already).
Homebrew is the only option.
Legal links only:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Bannerbomb - The exploit to "jailbreak" your Wii.
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel - The Channel you'll need to install, using the exploit.
I did that, using Twilight Hack.
It's really shocky at the first time, but you'll find out the hardest part is to place the files on the SD card.

Don't worry, you guys aren't missing out on anything. Mario Super Sluggers isn't really any good IMO. But it must suck to not be able to play it in your own country without importing it.
I meant girls too when I said that. You guys and girls aren't missing out on anything IMO. :P

I know that the game isn't something exceptional, but you gotta have in your collection if you are a Mario fan. Plus, it has 40 (!) characters in a single game. That's really great.
Regarding the homebrew installment, won't you be unable the get the 4.3 firmware update if you install it? I mean, the 4.3 update is going to delete homebrew and if you choose not to update you won't have access to the Wii Shop and stuff.
