Scratch and Match (minigame)

Scratch and Match is a Bonus Challenge in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. It involves scratching cards to get extra lives. In the game, the player scratches three cards; scratching a Baby Mario panel gives the player extra lives, while scratching a Toady does nothing.

The scoring in the Bonus Challenge is as follows:


 * 3 Toadies – Nothing (11.4% probability)
 * 1 Baby Mario – 1-Up (51.4% probability)
 * 2 Baby Marios – 2-Up (34.3% probability)
 * 3 Baby Marios – 5-Up (2.9% probability)
