Cactuar

Cactuars are enemies of the Square-Enix Final Fantasy series. However, this Cactuar appears in Mario Hoops 3 on 3 game. Other Final Fantasy characters in Mario Hoops are, Ninja, Black Mage, White Mage, and Moogle. The Cactuar is an unlockable character.

He is unlocked by first unlocking Glare Desert, the final court in Star Cup. Then you must play the court in exhibition mode. A green lump in the ground may be there. Dribble the ball over the bump a few times and Cactuar will pop out of the sand and run away. Afterwards, win the exhibition match, and he's unlocked.

More of them can later be seen in Glare Desert as spectators and in the game credits there will be six cactuars with a Watermelon in the Beach.
