Hanshin Tigers Giabbit Hunting Super Mario Bros.

[treismac]

Has anyone ever "beat" this hack, or, at the very least, completed the first stage?  I'm kinda rockin' this game everyday for stretches of 5-10 minutes, and I've got to what I think is either the 4th or 5th part of the first stage.  The part that keeps looping on me must either be like 7-4 in Bowser's Castle where you have to figure out the pattern, or it is just a practical joke with no end.

By the way, Mario looks really awesome in the Hanshin Tigers outfit, doesn't he?  I really dig the speed and trajectory of the baseball/fireballs, too.

Edit:  Alright, I found the "hidden" (yeah, yeah, there was an arrow) Bowser castle warp.  Let's see what this is all about...

[Parodius Duh]

there is no end to the game (that anyone knows of at least), it just constantly cycles. Someone had uploaded a video of it to youtube...progression has something to do with the B/S/O (ball/Strike/Out) in the top corner...

I would be less hesitant to dedicate some time to this game if I knew there was indeed an actual carrot for me to grab at the end of the stick as a reward for all of my efforts.  A mind f*ck isn't necessarily a bad thing; I just don't want potentially endless repetition compounding the mind f*ck, too.

Might this be the carrot?
