Mario Hoops: 3 On 3 combines old
school and Final Fantasy to
bring the fans a variety of
different courts to play on.
Courts generally have their own
special features or their own
theme, giving players different
challenges to overcome while
playing basketball.
Here's all of them. These are
listed in order as they appear
in the game. |
| |
|
Mushroom Tournament |
|
Mario Stadium |
|
The Hard Wood. That's a popular
basketball phrase, and that
pretty much describes Mario
Stadium. This court is straight
forward. No gimmicks, no
distractions, just straight up
basketball. |
| |
|
Koopa Beach |
|
Koopa Beach gives a nice scene
to Mario and friends while
playing basketball. This court
is made of sand with water
gradually coming up and going
down. There's also a pirate ship
that circles around the island
and the backboards are made of
Green Koopa Shells. |
| |
|
Peach Field |
|
Peach Field can be found on the
top of a steep cliff. This court
is made of grass with other
cliffs in the background and
windmills. Peach Field also
takes players back to the 8-Bit
era in the form of flying
Cheep-Cheeps. |
| |
|
Sunset Beach (Unlockable) |
|
Sunset Beach is somewhat similar
to Koopa Beach in 1 way: They're
both beaches. This court has
nice scenery and such with
surrounding water.
Sunset Beach is unlocked by
playing a game at Koopa Beach
between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM
while winning by 200 points in
exhibition mode. |
| |
|
Flower Tournament |
|
DK Cruiser |
|
DK Cruiser is the home to the DK
Characters. This court is also
made of wood...but not the hard
wood! It's on a giant floating
raft made of logs, and the
backboards are made of wood as
well. This court also has
barrels that will roll down it
sometimes. |
| |
|
Luigi Mansion |
|
As if we needed another Luigi's
Mansion game. Anyways, that's
exactly where this court takes
place: Inside the mansion.
There's a lot of purple here,
and there are numerous ghosts
that will come down and steal
the ball. |
| |
|
Daisy Garden |
|
The home to Daisy, this court is
a bit different that others.
This court takes it to the
street: It is made out of
concrete after all. There's also
a problem: No hoops here. The
solution? Take it to the mouth
of Petey Piranha, who'll only
let you dunk if he's asleep. |
| |
|
Malboro Garden (Unlockable) |
|
Time for a Final Fantasy themed
court. If you've ever played a
Final Fantasy game, Malboro is
an enemy that breathes poison,
and that's exactly what they do
on this court. Getting hit with
the poison will cause players to
become slower and lose the ball.
To unlock this court, a player
must dunk 3 times in Daisy
Garden and go over a random ?
panel until a blue seed appears.
Once they seed appears, the
player must obtain it and win
the game. |
| |
|
Star Tournament |
|
Wario Factory |
|
Wario Factory is solid metal.
This court is constantly being
raised up by pulleys. There's a
lot of different gears in the
background as well, and numerous
Bomb-Ombs appear on the court
which explode. Players can also
pick these Bomb-Ombs up and
throw them. |
| |
|
Jr. Street |
|
Bowser's Jr.'s Court is like a
Vegas paradise on the outside.
The court is on the street and
has slot machines on the sides
of each basket. A Purple Coin
can be found on Purple ? blocks
which causes the slots to go
when a basket is made. Slots can
increase the scoring of 1 basket. |
| |
|
Bowser Castle |
|
Of course, Bowser's Castle is
somewhere in this game like most
other Mario Spin-Offs. This
castle has a lot of fire
surrounding the court of play.
The baskets are old school -
remember that axe that held the
bridge in Super Mario Bros.?
That's what the baskets are.
Also, there's some parts of the
original Bowser's Castle theme
in the music. |
| |
|
Gira Gira Desert (Unlockable) |
|
Gira Gira Desert is a course
that's very hard to get and is
home to the legendary Cactuar
character. The course itself is
a desert, though the main
feature is that Cactuar can be
found here.
This course is unlockable by
beating a team by 800 or more
points in the Star Tournament
with a normal difficulty. |
| |
|
Rainbow Tournament |
|
Sherbet Land |
|
More classic features. But
before that, the main point of
Sherbet Land: Ice and Snow.
There's a ton of it all over,
and slipping and sliding will
occur. If you've played the
original Mario Bros., you'll
notice there are Freezies in
this court, and they'll freeze
other players when touched. |
| |
|
Bloocheep Sea |
|
Who lives in a pineapple under
the sea? Well, not quite Mario,
though on this court, Mario and
the gang could be seeing
Spongebob and such. This court
is entirely underwater with
Bloopers and such, and the old
school Mario Underwater Theme is
here. |
| |
|
Pirate Ship |
|
Not quite a raft like on DK
Cruiser, but the Pirate Ship
court takes to the sea as well.
There's a lot of rain coming
down and a lot of obstacles. A
giant Blooper will be trying to
smack players from the side of
the ship, and cannonballs will
be shot across the court. The
rough weather causes the ship to
tilt from left to right. |
| |
|
Rainbow Ship |
|
Rainbow Ship is home to White
Mage, Black Mage, and Ninja. In
other words, this level is 100%
in the theme of Final Fantasy.
The Rainbow Ship itself can be
found in the the sky with gusts
of winds and such. There's
backwards ? blocks which are
fake and cause the player to
lose the ball. |
