Mario Stadium (tennis court)

Mario Stadium is a court that appeared in both Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix. It is the first court in the Mushroom Tourney and the Mushroom Cup respectively.

Mario Hoops 3-on-3
Mario Stadium is a court in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. It is the first court in the Mushroom Tourney and the game. A basic court with no gimmicks, this stadium is a good choice for a game of pure basketball. It looks just like a regular stadium, complete with stands and some banners on the sides that has the Square Enix logo and the Nintendo logo. There is an audience of Shy Guys, Goombas, Piantas and Toads cheering for the players. It is also where all the tutorials are held, and in this mode, the stadium has different music. Interestingly, the music used in the Mario Stadium is also used in Glare Desert.

There is a reference to Mario Kart DS. On the stands behind the hoops, there are six flags &mdash; one with Mario's, one with Toad's, one with Luigi's, one with Peach's, one with Bowser's, and one with Daisy's.

Mario Sports Mix
The same court also appears in the Wii game Mario Sports Mix in which the player can play all four sports there and this is also where the tutorial movies take place. The arena can be a basketball court, an ice hockey rink, a dodgeball court, or a volleyball court. The crowd is also in the arena, cheering for the players during a match. In Bob-omb Dodge, it is one of three courts that the players must avoid Bob-ombs there.
