Cactuar, along with the other ''Final Fantasy'' characters, returned in the game ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. Here, it is the only character to have a stat amount over the max of 5 (indicated by a red bar instead of a yellow bar). Cactuar is unlocked by winning 60 games or beating it on a secret route of the Star Cup (to reach Cactuar, the player must mostly follow the same route to unlock She-Slime, but in order to unlock Cactuar, the player must be on the left side). It has the highest speed stat (depicted by a red stat bar), but its other stats are at their lowest level. However, Cactuar's high speed comes with a high drawback in that it ends up skidding whenever it has to quickly change direction. When Cactuar makes a special move, it will send spikes all over everybody (sometimes including its own teammate(s)) making them shocked and unable to move.

==Trivia==
*Cactuars are often depicted having stiff arms and legs. However, this Cactuar has segmented limbs, making it more flexible than the others; this makes it possible for Cactuar to play sports to begin with.
*1000 Needles is an attack that Cactuars often use in the ''Final Fantasy'' series. The attack is unique in that it will always deduct 1000 HP, regardless of the target's defenses. However, in some games, the move merely cuts the target's HP in half; Ex.: ''Chocobo's Dungeon''.
