The game is structured in tournaments, which the player must win to progress. The tournament ladder is made with graphics based on the original Super Mario Bros. Each tournament consists of three games with two halves of 2.5 minutes, except that the player needs to play an extra game with the Final Fantasy team at the end of the rainbow tournament.
The player can win a tournament by winning the three games on its ladder. The player would obtain either a gold cup, a silver cup or a bronze cup. A gold cup is available only if the player has 200 points more than the opponents in all games of the tournament. Silver if all games are won by more than 100 points and bronze for winning all 3 games.
There are two modes: the normal mode and the hard mode. The hard mode is available after beating the Final Fantasy team on "normal mode".
Line 34 ⟶ 32:
Getting the ball in the hoop awards 20 points, but the amount of points for landing a basket can be greatly increased by collecting coins. Scattered on the floor are question mark blocks that can be activated by dribbling over them (i.e. tapping on the right part of the screen). Oftentimes question mark blocks will bestow players with gold or red coins (which are worth ten gold). The maximum amount of points per shot is 140 in most basketball courts, which equates to 100 coins plus the 40 points for making a successful special shot. In one court shot worth can be doubled or tripled, making coin gathering more important.
There are several different combinations to do a special shot. To do a special shot, you need to make the player bounce the ball in a specific way. The most common is to tap out the letter "M" on the
Normal question mark blocks are in yellow. Red question mark blocks are available as an item. When a red question mark block is thrown onto the ground, it slowly turns yellow, but the question mark is reversed. If walked upon, it trips up the player. Purple question mark blocks are available in

![[Mario]]
Line 55 ⟶ 48:
|Mario's shadow looms large on every court. the best ballers in the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond have come to take their shot at the overalled wonder. But are they ready for his vicious Fire Shot?
|A versatile player. Mario's steady performance lets him handle anything.
|-
![[Luigi]]
Line 63 ⟶ 55:
|The L might as well be for "ludicrous" because that's how you feel after he schools you. He's big on defense and bigger with the ball. Once his Green Fire Shot gets rolling, you better pack your bags. You're going home.
|Luigi leads the team to victory with solid plays that are just as sharp as his brothers.
|-
![[Princess Peach|Peach]]
Line 71 ⟶ 62:
|The grace of a princess shows in her 3-point stroke. when she unleashes her Heart Shot, her opponents can only sit and marvel at her silky smooth shot, the technique fit for queen in the making.
|Peach goes right after that hoop! She never misses a shot that she goes after.
|-
![[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]
Line 79 ⟶ 69:
|Diamonds might be a girl's best friend, but tons of coins are a good substitute. Daisy's speed and quick hands help her pile up the bling. When it's time to cash in, count on her Flower Shot each time.
|Daisy's a bit of a tomboy, and her shooting is first class. She's always full of energy.
|-
![[Yoshi]]
Line 87 ⟶ 76:
|He's the hardest working man--er--Yoshi on the hardwood. Wherever the ball is, you'll find Yoshi sweating over it. Watch out when he drives to the hoop. His hops are so big on his Flutter Dunk, he levitates.
|Yoshi's a steady all-around player. He's got robust jumping skills, so he's pretty powerful.
|-
![[Wario]]
Line 95 ⟶ 83:
|Wario takes pride in his girth and uses it to move bodies that don't want to get moved. For such a big-boned boy, he shows amazing ups. For proof, look no further then his acrobatic Move-It Dunk, then question gravity.
|Wario drives out opponents with his power plays!
|-
![[Waluigi]]
Line 103 ⟶ 90:
|Waluigi is one weird, loud baller. The only thing normal about him is that his points count the same as everyone else's. When he sets off his Twist Dunk, he swims through the air and brings down a showerful of coins.
|Taking advantage of his lengthy limbs, long shots are a piece of cake for Waluigi.
|-
![[Donkey Kong]]
Line 111 ⟶ 97:
|Donkey Kong might be a brick wall on defense, but you're dreaming if you think you can stand between him and the basket. Is there a baller around who doesn't fear the kings Konga Dunk? Anyone? Didn't think so.
|With his spectacular dunks and powerful steals, Donkey Kong is a mighty hoops player. Don't get in his way!
|-
![[Diddy Kong]]
Line 119 ⟶ 104:
|Diddy Kong's aerobatics are nothing short of amazing. Just when he's cornered, he pulls a jet pack out of nowhere and blasts into the stratosphere. His Jet Shot will make you say, "Diddy? No he didn't!"
|With speedy plays and a tiny stature, opposing teams are at the mercy of Diddy Kong!
|-
![[Bowser Jr.]]
Line 127 ⟶ 111:
|Who is that masked man? He's a vicious gamer trapped inside a small package. Bowser Jr. will rip out your heart with his Graffiti Shot and make you respect the boy as he grows up on the court.
|He zigs and he zags. He's powerful like his dad! Better not underestimate Bowser Jr.!

*[[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] play was supposedly going to be included, and many fans believed so, due to an IGN article stating that the game has Wi-Fi, albeit subtly.<ref>Gantayat, Anoop (June 19, 2006). [https://web.archive.org/web/20070426235527/http://ds.ign.com/articles/713/713197p1.html Hands-On Mario Hoops 3-on-3]". IGN. Retrieved July 23, 2022.</ref> The final released game is incompatible with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, instead it is "Wireless Play" compatible and "Download Play" compatible. Some fans may think that IGN had mistaken "Wireless Play" for Wi-Fi.
