After golf, tennis, soccer and baseball, it's about time Mario took part in the one sport that can take advantage of his jumping prowess. Choose three Mario characters for your team. The goal is to throw the ball through the hoop more times than your opponent before the time runs out.
You move your characters around on the touch screen, and while on the court you can collect items to use against the opponents. You can also power up your character's special move by tapping out a sequence on the touch screen, allowing you to carry out a spectacular slam dunk.
