'''Cards''' appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' as collectibles found at a [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]]. The player acquires one out of a roulette every time a [[level]] is cleared; the pictures depicted are [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, [[Fire Flower|Flower]]s, and [[Super Star|Star]]s. Once three cards are collected, the player is given a [[extra life|1-Up]] prize: one if they do not match, two if they are Mushrooms, three if they are Flowers, and five if they are Stars.

Cards can also be obtained via the 2 Player Game, specifically upon initiating the [[Mario Bros. (Super Mario Bros. 3)|''Mario Bros.''-styled battle mode]]. Hitting the other player from the [[floor (block)|floor]] below like an enemy, [[stomp]]ing on them, or using the [[POW Block]] while they are on a floor shakes a card out of them, and it proceeds to bounce around until it is reclaimed, stolen, or lost. In the boxes and ladders bonus stage, it is possible to get a fourth type of card, which looks like a flame. This [[glitch]]ed card can award many lives in combination with other cards but can also crash the game.<ref>{{cite|url=themushroomkingdom.net/bugs/57|title=Flame cards|publisher=The Mushroom Kingdom|language=en|accessdate=July 7, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Pianist203|date=July 20, 2009|url=youtu.be/d_8BF1wyy0o?t=11|timestamp=0:11|title=Super Mario Bros. 3 - glitch collection|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=July 7, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Video Game GTBE Man|date=August 29, 2018|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1sthIZmce0|title=Video Game Glitch 253: Super Mario Bros 3 (NES) Crash!|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=July 7, 2024}}</ref>

Cards also appear with a different function in an [[N-Mark Spade Panel]]. They show various items in a card-matching setup, and matching two cards automatically adds that item to the inventory. Flipping two unlike cards twice or getting all nine pairs ends the diversion.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', cards from the ends of levels are renamed '''panels''' in-game; however, the ones from the N-Mark Spade Panel [[minigame]] are still referred to as cards.
