Pair-a-Gone is a minigame featured in the games Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros.. In the former it is one of Luigi's minigames, and in the latter, it is classified as a Table Minigame.

If all the cards are cleared, coins are given and a star is obtained, which puts more cards in number and/or kinds in the deck after a certain amount has been collected.
