Card
- This article is about the cards in Super Mario Bros. 3. For other kinds of cards, see Category:Cards.
- Not to be confused with Cards.
Cards appear in Super Mario Bros. 3 as collectibles found at a goal. The player acquires one out of a roulette every time a level with a goal is cleared; the cards are Mushroom Cards,[1] Flower Cards,[1] and Star Cards.[1] Once three cards are collected, the player is given a 1-Up prize: one if the cards do not match, two if the cards are Mushroom Cards, three if the cards are Flower Cards, and five if the cards are Star Cards.
Cards can also be obtained via the 2 Player Game, specifically upon initiating the Mario Bros.–styled battle mode. Hitting the other player from the floor below like an enemy, stomping on them, or using the POW Block while they are on a floor shakes a card out of them, and it proceeds to bounce around until it is reclaimed, stolen, or lost. In the boxes and ladders bonus stage, it is possible to get a fourth type of card, which looks like a flame. This glitched card can award many lives in combination with other cards but can also crash the game.[2][3][4]
Cards also appear with a different function in an N-Mark Spade Panel. They show various items in a card-matching setup, and matching two cards automatically adds that item to the inventory. Flipping two unlike cards twice or getting all nine pairs ends the diversion.
In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, cards from the ends of levels are renamed panels in-game; however, the ones from the N-Mark Spade Panel minigame are still referred to as cards. As the battle mode is absent in this version, panels cannot be stolen by other players.
Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2 repurpose goal cards to immediately give points instead, with an extra 1-Up Mushroom card added to give an extra life.
