'''''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''''', also known as '''''Mario Slam Basketball''''' in Europe and Australia and '''''Mario Basketball 3on3''''' in Japan, is a ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' sports game developed by [[Square Enix]] for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It features [[Mario]] and his friends participating in basketball with two competing teams of three characters. This game is the first ''Mario'' sports game to be dedicated around basketball. While the game plays with the traditional basketball rules of shooting the ball into a net, various ''Mario''-themed mechanics are incorporated into the game to differentiate from the real sport. For example, players can dribble the ball into [[? Panel]]s to obtain [[coin]]s that better their score whenever a shot is taken, and when on defense, these ? Panels provide ''Mario'' series items to use against the opposition. Players can additionally perform Special Shots to ensure that the ball makes it into the hoop. Unlike most other ''Mario'' sports titles, ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' is controlled entirely by the touchscreen, with nearly all moves using swipe or tapping controls via the Nintendo DS stylus. The game supports local play with multiple cartridges and download play with a single cartridge, and it supports up to four players. | '''''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''''', also known as '''''Mario Slam Basketball''''' in Europe and Australia and '''''Mario Basketball 3on3''''' in Japan, is a ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' [[Genre#Sports|sports]] game developed by [[Square Enix]] for the [[Nintendo DS]].

Originally, the game was meant to be an original intellectual property, but Square Enix felt that it would work well if it were a part of the ''Mario'' franchise, and so Square Enix contacted [[Nintendo]], who then allowed it to use the ''Mario'' label. Due to Square Enix being the developer of this game, this game is the first game that has ''Mario'' and ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' characters appear together as playable characters, in addition to other ''Final Fantasy'' elements present in this title. | Originally, the game was meant to be an original intellectual property, but Square Enix felt that it would work well if it were a part of the ''Mario'' franchise, and so Square Enix contacted [[Nintendo]], who then allowed it to use the ''Mario'' label.
