Mario Hoops 3-on-3 / Courts and modes
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 Courts and modes: hazards and hidden locations
Pick a court for practice or a specific unlock.
Edition covered
Original Nintendo DS game, titled Mario Slam Basketball in Europe. Wii U Virtual Console does not reproduce the DS wireless multiplayer functions.
Court hazards can break a safe possession
The same dribble route behaves differently around environmental threats. Read the court before committing a full coin reserve.
| Court or location | Requirement | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Sunset Beach | Play Koopa Beach at 16:00–18:00 DS time | Exhibition |
| Malboro Garden | Three Daisy Garden dunks; find blue seed | Flower Tourney |
| Glare Desert | Score at least 800 on Jr. Street | Star Tourney |
| Rainbow Ship | Final surprise match | Rainbow Tourney |
Three hidden courts use different conditions
Sunset Beach depends on the DS clock; Malboro Garden and Glare Desert need specific tourney actions.
| Mode | Objective | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Exhibition | A configurable basketball match | Learn a court |
| Tourney | Consecutive matches and trophy grade | Unlock content |
| Dribble Race | 100 coins then finish | Improve coin routes |
| Coin Hunter | Item-based coin survival | Practice disruption |
Dribble Race focuses on one hundred coins
Reach the goal with the required total. Its routes train coin collection without a full basketball match.
Download Play is not full multi-card basketball
The single-card mode offers its own limited activities. Use the correct multiplayer option for the game the group wants.
