It launches soft balls that are to be hit with a bat. [1] It sold over a million units.[2] It was released elsewhere as the Slugger Mate.[3]

The Ultra Machine appears in both WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ for the Game Boy Advance and WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Wii, as a boss fight in the former and a regular microgame in the latter.
