The Memory Match-up (or simply Memory Match[1]) category on the Play Nintendo website contains match-up-type games featuring Nintendo characters and items. In them, there are a number of cards laid facedown which the player has to turn over to find matching pairs. At the start of each Memory Match-up game, the player first chooses how many pairs they want to match: 4, 6, or 12. The size of the board increases depending on how many pairs are chosen.

The following are Super Mario-related memory match-up activities on Play Nintendo, listed in the same order as on the original website.

Activities exclusive to this categoryEdit

In these activities, there is a counter which increases with every move the player makes. The final amount of moves is shown when the player matches all the cards.

Note: Most cards shown below are ordered after the numbers assigned in their original filenames (e.g. "Card01", "Card02" etc.) To see a card's original filename, click on its image and go to its file summary.
