'''''Mario Sports Mix''''' is a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' [[Genre#Sports|sports]] game for the [[Wii]] and an indirect follow-up to the basketball game ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. The main difference from before is that [[Mario]] and other player characters can not only compete in basketball, but also three other sports: hockey, dodgeball, and volleyball. The ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' characters from ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' also return, and [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]], a ''[[DragonQuest:Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' mascot, was added as one of the player characters. This game was developed by [[Square Enix]], who also developed ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''.

The game supported the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] feature, which enables players to play with other players in their region. To save any game data, three blocks of memory have to be used on the Wii system. However, due to the game's Wi-Fi compatibilities, the game data is copy protected, which means it cannot be transferred onto other Wii systems. [[Nintendo]] terminated the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service on May 20, 2014, making the game no longer playable online.

[[File:MSM Tournament 1.png|thumb|200px|The scene where Toad witnesses the sight of a mysterious, blazing comet falling into the Mushroom Kingdom.]]

One day in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Toad]] is gardening flowers when suddenly the sky turns dark, and a strange object falls from the sky and crashes. Toad is worried about the situation, so he, along with some other [[Toad (species)|Toads]], rushes to the crashed object to examine it. The Toads find four colored crystals: a red crystal containing a basketball; a green crystal containing a volleyball; a yellow crystal containing a dodgeball; and a blue crystal containing a [[coin]]. While observing the [[Sports Crystal|mysterious crystals]], the Toads suddenly come up with an idea of introducing new sports - Basketball, Volleyball, Dodgeball and Hockey - to the Mushroom Kingdom. The Toads also organize tournaments for the four sports. The best players of the tournament earn a prize: one of the four crystals that fell from the sky. [[Mario]], his friends, and his foes are ready to play sports and enter the tournaments to find out who are the best players of the Mushroom Kingdom.

When the players' team wins the Mushroom and Flower Cups, and gets to the end of the Star Cup, everything seems to be normal. However, in the final round, a [[Star Ship (court)|Star Ship]] appears and the players' opponent turns out to be [[Ninja (character)|Ninja]] in disguise. Ninja steals the trophy and jumps onto the Star Ship, which prompts the players to follow Ninja to get the trophy back. They end up playing against the ''Final Fantasy'' team, while the Star Ship flies through [[Outer Space|space]]. When the players win against the ''Final Fantasy'' team, they receive one of the crystals that fell from the sky. The leader of the team then uses it to power the Star Ship and take the team back home.

Sports Mix mode's story is highly identical, except after the players' team defeats the ''Final Fantasy'' team, the three Sports Mix trophies that they receive end up merging into a dark crystal. That crystal also leads them to an alternate dimension, where the [[Behemoth King]] is found. Similarly with Behemoth, players have to defeat the Behemoth King before it takes them out. When the Behemoth King is defeated, the crystal's dark energy disappears, and it turns back into a rainbow crystal. The players use that crystal to power the Star Ship to take them back home.

''Mario Sports Mix'' features four playable sports, all unique from each other. Players can play either alone with CPU allies or cooperatively/competitively with other players, with a max of 3 players a team. The [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] and [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] control style is used as the primary control scheme for the game. However, the players can also use the Wii Remote in the horizontal position. Players are able to perform actions through shaking the Wii Remote and/or inputting buttons as shown in horizontal Wii Remote scheme. All sports are played in periods, where, except for volleyball, there is a certain time limit to each period. When the [[Time Limit#Mario Sports Mix|time limit]] reaches zero, players move to the next period and change sides. Excluding dodgeball, points acquired in past periods also add up to the current game's total score. In dodgeball, another period commences when all team players get knocked out.

On a side note, there is an option which enables the players to receive commands. However, this option is available only when the CPU level is set to "Easy".

[[File:MarioStadium-Basketball-3vs3-MarioSportsMix.png|thumb|left|Basketball plays in a similar fashion as in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', but with a few minor changes.]]

Basketball is played in a similar fashion as in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''. Players must score points by shooting a basketball into their hoop in order to win the game. Whichever team has the most points after all periods wins the match. Two points are acquired when the ball makes it in the hoop; three points are acquired when the ball gets shot from the three pointer and beyond or when a special shot is performed. The coins that the players gather along the way are added to their total score. Also in this sport, which is exclusive to this game, there is a shot clock on the bottom-left hand corner of the screen so the characters can shoot within the time limit, just like in a professional {{wp|National Basketball Association|NBA}} or collegiate {{wp|College basketball|NCAA}} game. If they do not shoot before time runs out, the other team gets possession. Players are also able to defend, block, and make dunks in this game in a similar way to the actual sport. If the score is tied at the end of regulation, then {{wp|Sudden death (sport)|overtime}} begins. With overtime in this sport, no game ends in a draw.

[[File:MSM 1-1 Volleyball.png|thumb|Mario about to serve in Volleyball]]

Volleyball is played by hitting a ball without making it touch the ground. Players first start matches by serving the ball, either by ground or by air. The match then proceeds, while the players try to smack the volleyball so it touches the ground. If that occurs, the last team to successfully hit the ball over the net gains a point. When a point limit is reached (the default is fifteen points), the set is won. Players can spike the ball, deflect a spike, and use many other moves that bear resemblance to the actual game. Volleyball also has an out zone, much like tennis: any player who hits the ball into this zone forfeits a point to the opposing team. Volleyball is the only sport in the game that can never have a time limit.

[[File:MSM 1-1 Dodgeball.png|thumb|left|A match of Dodgeball]]

A Dodgeball game always begins with a jump-ball that is done by [[Lakitu]] to determine which team gets to attack first. Dodgeball is mostly played by throwing a ball to the opposing team. There are two teams of two or three characters and a colored [[Yoshi]] on the players' teams. Players can prevent a hit by catching the ball. Players who fail to catch the ball or dodge it lose their vitality. They can prevent this if they catch the ball before it hits the ground, especially if the ball flies upwards. Players cannot catch the ball if they are facing away from them, nor can they catch it if an item is in effect.

Players have a [[Health Meter#Mario Sports Mix|Health Meter]] and lose a portion when they get hit, except for the colored Yoshi, who can never be "knocked out," but cannot leave the box at the back of the court. Players cannot control the Yoshis, unless they encounter the ball, and even then, the only commands that the players can give them is to pass or attack. If players lose all their HP, they are out, and they are sent into their box. However, unlike the Yoshis in the box, they can leave if they damage their target with the ball. Players that do this also get a small amount of their HP regained, but are out immediately if damaged again. However, some alternate route objectives do prevent players who are out from leaving the box; this can also be applied to exhibition matches in the settings.

The first team to knock out the opposing team before the time limit expires wins the set. Additionally, the team who has the most number of remaining players automatically wins when time runs out. If both teams have the same number of players remaining at the end of the time limit, sudden death follows. With this term, no set ends in a draw. In sudden death, the first team to take damage loses the set. On a side note, this is the only sport which has a time limit in which players can set the timer to infinite.

[[File:MSM 1-1 Hockey.png|thumb|The opening face-off in Hockey]]

A hockey game always begins with a face-off that is done by Lakitu to determine which team gets the puck at the start of the period. If a team scores a goal or a special shot, another face-off takes place. The goalkeepers in this sport are [[Shy Guy]]s, and their color depends on which team they are in. In order to steal the puck, players must tackle each other, which can be achieved by the motion of shaking the {{button|wii|Wiimote}} ({{button|wii|2}} in sideways mode) or simply by making a character go in front of the opponent with the puck. Sometimes, a struggle ensues and players must shake their Wii Remote the fastest that they can in order to win the puck over and knock the opponents away. The team with the most points wins and, very much like basketball, this game is played in time limits and transitional periods. This sport uses a Hockey Stick.

Players can select only characters and alternate costumes that are unlocked in all four sports. Characters unlocked in three sports but not the fourth cannot be used in Sports Mix mode.

*'''All-around''' - All-around characters have average Power, Speed, and Technique. They generally are not strong or weak at any stats.

*'''Technical''' - Technical characters have more Technique than Speed and Power. These characters can better aim their shots.

*'''Powerful''' - Powerful characters have more Power than Speed and Technique. These characters have stronger and faster attacks and shots.

*'''Speedy''' - Speedy characters have more Speed than Power and Technique. These characters can move faster over the ground.

*'''Tricky''' - Tricky characters have one strong stat and two usually weak stats. However, they do have some useful, but tricky moves.

Like ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', this game makes use use of character specific abilities. Prior to using these abilities, there is a meter that needs to be filled (shown on the bottom left and right corners of the gameplay screen). These abilities in question can allow the characters to unleash a powerful move in the variety of sports in the game that can help the players win a game. Each special ability is unique to each character and these moves tend to vary from the sport that players are playing.

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallMario.png|link=Mario|center]]

|rowspan=3|Mario blasts a fiery shot at his target. The shot can be blocked by an attack, but can slip into the goal if the character fails to hold it off. In dodgeball, the blast has a radius that can hit nearby opponents. In volleyball, the shot can only be blocked if it ends up on another player.

|height=30|Power||3/5

|height=30|Speed||3/5

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallLuigi.png|link=Luigi|center]]

|rowspan=3|Luigi first attempts to suck characters towards him while he is using his [[Poltergust 3000]]. After he draws them in, he makes a shot on his target. Opponents caught long enough in the suction trip and are unable to defend against the shot.

|height=30|Power||2/5

|height=30|Speed||3/5

|height=30|Technique||4/5

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallYoshi.png|link=Yoshi|center]]

|rowspan=3|Yoshi throws the ball or puck in a single, bouncy rainbow line. The rainbow line quickly changes where it is going to land, confusing other players. In basketball and dodgeball, two bouncy balls head towards the goal as opposed to one. In basketball, however, one of the balls is a decoy; it is not counted if it reaches the goal.

|height=30|Power||3/5

|height=30|Speed||4/5

|height=30|Technique||2/5

|rowspan=3|[[File:Mii-CSS-MarioSportsMix.png|link=Mii]]

|rowspan=3|Miis build up energy of their favorite color as they aim at the goal. It is identical to Mario's Special Shot, as it can be blocked in the same way as Mario's. In volleyball, the ball has to land on another player for it to be blocked. When the ball hits in the ground in dodgeball, it sends out a blast radius that deals damage to anyone in range.

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallPeach.png|link=Princess Peach]]

|rowspan=3|Peach makes a heart surround her that releases multiple hearts. The hearts stun other players for a couple of seconds, making it harder for them to stop the ball or puck from reaching the goal.

|height=30|Power||1/5

|height=30|Speed||3/5

|height=30|Technique||5/5

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallDaisy.png|link=Princess Daisy]]

|rowspan=3|Daisy makes a small garden appear where her aim is. The garden limits the movement of other characters. In basketball and hockey, it is a half-circled garden that surrounds the goal, but in volleyball and dodgeball, it is a slightly larger full-circle garden.

|height=30|Power||2/5

|height=30|Speed||2/5

|height=30|Technique||5/5

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallWaluigi.png|link=Waluigi]]

|rowspan=3|Waluigi makes a machine with 4 arms that sends out electricity to stop any attackers. After Waluigi has fired his third shot, he shoots for the goal. In all sports, all the shots that connect are counted. However, in basketball, each successful shot is only worth 1 point, instead of its regular worth.

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallWario.png|link=Wario]]

|rowspan=3|Wario throws his trademark bomb similar to that of the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. The bomb then explodes, which can knock any character in the explosion away. After the bomb has detonated, it fills up the court with gas, obscuring the view where Wario is going to shoot, which can make it hard for players (including Wario) to tell where the ball or puck is going to go to.

|height=30|Technique||3/5

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallBowser.png|link=Bowser]]

|rowspan=3|Bowser spits a fireball at an area near the goal, where it makes a large blast. Any character that gets caught in the blast radius ends up knocked away and burnt.

|height=30|Power||1/5

|height=30|Speed||5/5

|height=30|Technique||3/5

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallJunior.png|link=Bowser Jr.]]

|rowspan=3|Bowser Jr. takes out his [[magic brush|trademark paintbrush]] and paints the ground with it. The painted ground makes characters easily lose their traction and slip, which makes it trickier to stop Bowser Jr. from scoring.

|height=30|Power||3/5

|height=30|Technique||1/5

|rowspan=3|[[File:MSMsmallToad.png|link=Toad]]

[[File:RosterComplete-MarioSportsMix.png|thumb|250px|The complete roster.]]

The ''Final Fantasy'' characters from ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' make a return in this game. Additionally, the ''Dragon Quest'' character [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]] makes an appearance, previously having appeared alongside other ''Super Mario'' characters in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]''. These characters are all unlockable and also the only unlockable characters of the game.

|rowspan=3|Ninja makes two copies of himself that go for the goal. The two copies are simply illusions and do not count for a point, but if the actual Ninja scores, he and his team gets a point. In dodgeball, if his copies hits opponents, they lose a section of their HP despite the copies being illusions.

Any player that gets hit by the blast gets pushed back and loses a section of their HP in dodgeball. In volleyball, the ball lands in a random location, making it trickier to know where the shot lands.

[[File:MSM Alternateoutfit.png|thumb|[[Toad (species)|Blue Toad]] has been unlocked for [[Dodgeball]].]]

In tournaments, it is possible for the CPU team to use more than one of a certain character, which is not possible for the players' team, nor in exhibition matches. Likewise, if the players' team contains a character who has an alternate color, the CPU team can still use that character's unused colors in tournaments; for example, if the players' team contains Yoshi, it is still possible to see a different color Yoshi in a CPU team. CPUs can use alternate colors of characters even if the player has not unlocked them yet.
