Gameplay
The game consists of Mario trying to shoot a basketball into a hoop, located at a distance. To throw the ball, the player first has to aim the throw using the left and right arrow keys, then hold the space bar to set the throwing force. The ball moves on an arc path and bounces off surrounding objects, such as the floor or the basket's backboard. For each successful shot, the player is awarded 50,000 points which are added to the score.
On the way, the ball may bump into Arrow wheels that send it in the direction they indicate. Some of them slowly spin around, thus constantly changing direction. While some may advantange the ball, other only hinder it by bouncing it back. Coins are scattered throughout the area and can be collected with the ball, each coin adding 100 points to the score. The coins themselves are added to a separate counter. The occasional red coins that appear among the gold ones are worth 1,000 points and 10 gold coins each.
The player has 10 basketballs to throw. When all of them are consumed, the game is over, leading to a screen which shows the total of coins and the score obtained. The player can then choose to replay the game.
