NBA Street V3 is a basketball video game that had a multiplatform release for the Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2, though only the Nintendo GameCube version features Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach as playable characters, collectively known in-game as the "Nintendo All-Stars". This is in response to a deal between EA and Nintendo in which EA would include Nintendo characters and properties in a few of their games; another game to take advantage of this was SSX on Tour. A basketball court based on the Super Mario franchise, named the Nintendo Court, is also featured in the Nintendo GameCube version. NBA Street V3 is the third game in EA's NBA Street series. It was developed by EA Canada, published by EA Sports Big, and certified by THX in 2005.
