==Gameplay and background==

The game is officially licensed by the [[Major League Baseball Players Association]], offering 700 actual baseball players from the [[1994 Major League Baseball season]] in addition to 28 unlicensed teams. There are six modes to play: [[Exhibition game|exhibition]], [[Home Run Derby]], [[Defense (sports)|defense]] practice, [[playoffs]], [[sports league|league]] (in which teams play every other team in succession just like in ''[[NBA Jam]]''), and ''Game Breaker'' (which allows players to change the course of [[Major League Baseball]] history).
The realistic-styled [[stadium]]s are contrasted with the cartoon-like graphics, but the stadiums are altered from their MLB counterparts due to [[copyright]] issues. [[Jack Buck]] provides a [[sports commentator|play-by-play analysis]] of the action.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=7479 |title=Super R.B.I.

==Reception==
The video game review magazines of the mid-1990s gave this game mixed reviews. ''[[GamePro]]'' highly praised the game's selection of options and stats and the clearly detailed, comical graphics. However, they described the controls as poor, with both a confusing configuration and slow reactions to button presses. They concluded: "With more features than any other baseball cart, ''Super RBI'' should've been serious competition for excellent games like ''[[World Series Baseball (video game)|World Series Baseball]]''. Too bad the controls undercut that potential".<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Super RBI a Strong Contender|magazine=[[GamePro]]|issue=69 |publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|date=April 1995|page=102}}</ref>
