Overview

The ALBW: takes place on a baseball diamond with ALBW: acting as the pitcher. Behind him are two rows of NaN Jars on the ground, and a third row of NaN Jars on top of the NaN Trees surrounding the diamond. ALBW: will pitch 30 balls that ALBW: must try to hit into NaN Jars to smash them. Hitting a red ALBW: will score one ALBW:, while hitting a rare gold ALBW: will score five NaN Rupees. Upon hitting three consecutive NaN Jars, a ALBW: will appear and fly across the screen, which awards 20 NaN Rupees if hit. Failing to hit a target will interrupt the streak. Hitting one of the NaN Sand Crabs scuttling in the infield will reset all of the destroyed NaN Jars.

ALBW: can aim his hits by adjusting his timing and his stance. Pushing the Circle Pad up or down makes ALBW: lean forward or backward, causing the ball to fly closer to the ground or higher in the air, respectively. Swinging with perfect timing will hit the ball straight ahead; swinging earlier will hit it further to the right, while swinging later will hit it further to the left. Hitting ALBW: with the ball will cause him to pitch his next ball instantly, leaving little reaction time.

After 30 pitches, the game is over and ALBW: will be awarded the amount of NaN Rupees he scored. The first time he scores 100 NaN Rupees or more, a ALBW: will also be awarded.
