Mario Clash

Template:Articleabout Template:Infobox Mario Clash is a game released for the Virtual Boy in 1995. It is also the first 3D stereoscopic Mario game. The game is a return to the style of the original Mario Bros. To progress through the game, Mario must knock enemies off platforms using Koopa Shells. There are always two Koopas; if one gets knocked off, another one takes its place. Many enemies need to be hit from the side, thus Mario must throw Koopa shells from the background to the foreground and vice-versa in order to knock them off.

Trivia

• A Mario Clash microgame appears as one of 9-Volt's microgames in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!.
• The snake artwork closely resembles the Sable Prince's snake form in Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru, but without a cape. This is more noticeable in his Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
