Game Overview

Mario Hoops 3 on 3 is basketball, but not as you know it. The first thing you’ll notice? You’re dribbling with the stylus, swiping to pass, and drawing quick arcs to pull off flashy dunks. It feels weirdly natural after a few minutes—like you’re actually guiding the ball with your hand instead of mashing buttons.

Instead of regular scoring, you collect coins scattered across the court, and the more you grab before shooting, the bigger your payoff. Games get chaotic fast, with scores hitting 300+ as everyone scrambles for coins mid-play. Defense gets just as creative—you can swat shots mid-air (goaltending’s totally legal here) or lunge for steals with a quick tap.

Tournament mode’s where I spent most of my time, unlocking courts and characters like Square’s Black Mage alongside Mario’s crew. The courts aren’t just reskins, either—some have ice that sends players sliding or warp pipes that teleport the ball. Multiplayer’s a blast too, especially the 100-point dribble race, which turns into pure chaos with four people.

It’s basketball stripped down and remixed with Mario Kart’s energy. You’ll either love the stylus controls or rage-quit after missing one too many dunks.
