Progress through Baby Mario and Bowser Jr. events.

Quick notes
- Five captains explore Baseball Kingdom. Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Wario and Donkey Kong act as the exploration leaders.
- Recruitment combines discovery with a baseball task. A hidden character may require a captain ability before their scout mission becomes available.
- K. Rool follows the four colored Kritters. Recruit the four Kritter colors in DK Jungle, then find King K. Rool behind the waterfall and complete his home-run mission.
- Some Exhibition unlocks have alternative modes. Blooper can be opened through all Practice Lessons and Wiggler through winning Toy Field.
