Craig Harris of IGN gave the game a 6.8 out of 10,<ref>Harris, Craig. (Septemter 12, 2006). [http://www.ign.com/articles/2006/09/12/mario-hoops-3-on-3-review ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' Review]. ''IGN''. Retrieved December 23, 2017.</ref> criticizing the touch-centric control scheme, saying, "This new touch screen control works but it sort of lacks immediate response, giving it a soft, mushy feel -- a stylus stroke isn't as quick as a simple button press. Even if the touchscreen control offers more variety on the court, it just doesn't feel as satisfying as it should be. Some touch screen controls are more complicated than you'd expect -- special moves need to be tapped out in a specific pattern twice, maneuvers that feel too disconnecting from the rest of the ball-handling control." He has also criticized the method to collect coins, calling dribbling on the ? Panels to obtain coins to score more points, saying that "this game boils down to just how long can you hold onto the ball and tap squares as fast as possible." Another criticism of his was the game's AI, saying that the AI is stupid to let players score while they sit around in the early game, though the game has a difficulty curve and it takes time to reach challenging opponents. One praise of the game that Harris offered were its bright, colorful, and detailed graphics, especially for [[Nintendo DS]] standards. Keza McDonald of Eurogamer, giving the game a 6 out of 10,<ref>McDonald, Keza. (October 25, 2017). [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_mariohoops_ds ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' review]. ''Eurogamer''. Retrieved December 23, 2017.</ref> has echoed similar thoughts regarding the enemy AI, saying that they just stand there, and they cannot prevent steals until Hard mode. Another common complaint was the lack of online play and a viable single-cart option mode, though McDonald has praised the touch control scheme.
