'''''Photos with Mario''''', known in Japan as '''''Photo Together with Super Mario''''' (Japanese: いっしょにフォト スーパーマリオ ''Issho ni Foto Sūpā Mario'') is a free photography-based application released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], allowing players to take pictures of various ''Mario'' characters. It is the Nintendo 3DS's first entirely ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]''-centered application and was developed by the same teams behind ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. The application requires 65 blocks of space to download and is compatible with special ''Mario''-themed [[AR Games|AR cards]].

''Photos with Mario'' and the cards that it requires were released in Japan on April 23, 2013, and on May 28, 2014 in North America. <ref>http://mariopartylegacy.com/2014/05/photos-with-mario-now-available-in-north-america/</ref> As of November 2013, it is one of three such applications on the Nintendo 3DS, the others being ''Photo Together with Animal Crossing''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FhS61aH_cY (eShop JP) Photos Together with Animal Crossing - First Look] (NintenDaan1)</ref> and ''Photo Together with Pikmin''.

Six cards have been released in Japan in two sets, with each card in a set having a different price point. The cards were released with special [[Nintendo eShop]] prepaid cards, also including a QR code on the prepaid card to download the application from the [[Nintendo 3DS]] eShop. In the USA, the first three cards are available exclusively at Target stores, included with exclusive $10 Nintendo eShop cards.

The application features the ability to move the characters away from the [[AR Games|AR card]] and place them anywhere to take a photo by pressing {{button|3ds|L}} to "grab" the characters on screen and place them elsewhere; pressing the button again "releases" the characters, causing them to disappear. Pressing {{button|3ds|R}} takes a picture, and pressing one of the face buttons allows for a time delay before a photo is automatically taken ({{button|3ds|A}} being three seconds, {{button|3ds|B}} being five seconds, {{button|3ds|Y}} being ten seconds, and {{button|3ds|X}} being random). Pressing the camera button on the bottom screen switches from the exterior camera to the interior one, and vice versa. The player can also cause several effects to happen on-screen by using the {{button|3ds|pad}}, such as blowing [[Bubble|bubbles]] with right, causing a shower of stars with down, causing it to snow with left, and having party poppers go off with up. The lighting in the scene can be altered with the {{button|3ds|stick}}, allowing players to change the angle and color of the light. Pressing the

Placing multiple cards in one frame causes the characters to interact with each other in some way (i.e. the [[Goomba]] charges [[Mario]] but gets jumped on); the [[? Block]] card is also compatible with the application, which creates a [[Warp Pipe]] that provides a different reaction with each character the card interacts with (with Mario, Peach, and Luigi a [[Toad]] emerges, and with the Goomba, Koopa Troopa, and Bowser, a [[Piranha Plant]] emerges; if multiple character cards are in the frame, the question card shows only a pipe, and if nothing else is on screen, a [[Bullet Bill]] emerges). Viewing the cards from various directions and calling their name into the microphone also causes several actions to occur.
