| '''Black Mage''' is a job class from the ''{{fandom|finalfantasy|Final Fantasy series|Final Fantasy}}'' series of games. They are characterized by their distinctive appearance—blue robes and a face shrouded in shadow beneath their pointed hat—as well as their practice of Black Magic, which consists of various offensive, elemental spells. In the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, Black Mage's design is a mix of his classic appearance from ''Final Fantasy'' as well as {{fandom|finalfantasy|Black Waltz 3|Black Waltz No. 3}}, a boss from ''{{fandom|finalfantasy|Final Fantasy IX}}''. | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
| |
| An individual representative character appears in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. He is one of several characters based on ''Final Fantasy'', the others being [[Ninja (character)|Ninja]], [[White Mage]], [[Moogle]], and [[Cactuar]]. He has a magical staff which he uses to perform his [[Special Shot (Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix)|Special Shot]]. He is classified as a Tricky player, meaning he makes very swift moves to dodge tackles. Black Mage is unlocked by winning a Gold Trophy in the [[Rainbow Tourney]] on the Normal difficulty. An alternate costume can also be unlocked by completing the Rainbow Tourney on the Hard difficulty. This alternate costume gives Black Mage a green and black color scheme.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Sports Mix''===
| | He is unlocked by winning a Gold Trophy in the Rainbow Cup. |
| Black Mage, along with the other ''Final Fantasy'' characters return in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. He is unlocked by clearing the hidden path in the Star Cup, Star Road, three times, winning the Star Cup four times, or by going on one of the two alternate paths during the Mushroom Cup replay and winning against Blue Toad. Unlike other characters, in hockey, he uses his magical staff in place of a hockey stick. Black Mage's highest statistic is his technique, and his overall stats are identical to [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]'s and [[Waluigi]]'s.
| |
|
| |
|
| Like in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', the player can also unlock an alternate outfit for Black Mage. Here, it is unlocked by clearing a certain mission on the Star Cup, clearing Star Road 6 times, or by using Black Mage 20 times in either Exhibition or Tournament modes. Unlike the ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' alternate costume, his alternate outfit depicts Black Mage wearing a red coat and hat, with black jeans and a belt being added onto the hat, along with a yellow scarf. The details on the coat are also different.

| | |
| Black Mage can use his special shot to briefly shrink his opponents. He then follows up by aiming the ball/puck at the goal, or at an opposing player.
| |
| | |
| In Basketball, Black Mage is a very slow dunker, but his layup move is unique in that he will cast a spell, which makes the basketball almost always enter the basketball hoop.
| |
| | |
| In Volleyball, Black Mage's fully charged shots move quite fast, while also curving. However, these shots can easily go out of bounds, which would make Black Mage lose points. He can also summon a thunderbolt to block volleyball shots, but the range is limited. Instead of diving, Black Mage can cast a fire spell to catch a volleyball that is out of reach. Black Mage's fire spell can range up to 3 meters.
| |
| | |
| In Dodgeball, Black Mage can repel dodgeball attacks by summoning a thunderbolt to block the dodgeball. However, this move is rendered useless if the dodgeball is equipped with an item. Instead of diving, Black Mage can cast a fire spell to bring the dodgeball to him. His full power throws are given an added curve, which can be used to throw off opponents.
| |
| | |
| In Hockey, Black Mage can take down his opponents by striking them with a thunderbolt in his powerful check. If the opponent is far away, he will cast a fire spell instead. While charging the ball he uses his dark magic to make a powerful shot. Since he has good technique stats, he can score easily by faking the goalies or doing combos.

| *In ''Mario Sports Mix'', during the 3-on-3 Hockey introductions, Black Mage's hockey stick is seen floating with him. This is likely an animation error, as he is not supposed to have it. | | [[Category:3rd Party Characters]] |
| *In Japanese and internal files of ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' and ''Mario Sports Mix'', he is named "{{fandom|finalfantasy|Croma|Kuroma}}" (a shortening of "kuro madōshi", the Black Mage class's name in Japanese), which is the Japanese name of "Croma", a black mage from the ''Chocobo'' games.
