Topic: Mario Baseball > Star Moves

[Pale]

So, I'm trying to play through the single player of Mario Baseball and I'm getting kind of frustrated.  In order to achieve some of the players' skill stars, I need to use their star pitch or star batting move in a game.  Well any time I try and do it, I just lose one of my team stars but it doesn't do the special move....  Particularly using Yoshi.

When playing an exhibition game, I can fire off the egg pitch every time... in challenge mode, never...

Am I missing something?
