This minigame is directly based on the [[Spade Panel]] minigame from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; the player must press {{button|switch|A}} to stop each of the three spinning reels so that they form a picture. Matching all three reels to form a picture of a certain item causes a number of [[1-Up Mushroom]]s to appear from the doors of the Toad House, rewarding the player with [[Extra life|extra lives]]: Making a [[Super Mushroom]] grants the player one life, making a [[Fire Flower]] gives three lives, and making a Super Star gives five lives.

If the player fails to make any of these, the Toad House generates the resulting picture as an object and no lives are awarded. After Match & Win! is played, the Toad House disappears. | ||
Unlike the original Spade Panel minigame, where an arbitrary amount of delay time is added before each reel starts slowing down, Match & Win! is completely deterministic: When the player presses {{button|switch|A}} to stop a certain reel, it always cycles through all of the pictures once, then quickly snaps into place, remaining on the picture that was in the center-most portion of the reel at the moment {{button|switch|A}} was pressed. Thus, the player can guarantee receiving a certain number of extra lives simply by pressing {{button|switch|A}} when the desired picture lines up with the center of each reel. | Unlike the original Spade Panel minigame, where an arbitrary amount of delay time is added before each reel starts slowing down, Match & Win! is completely deterministic: When the player presses {{button|switch|A}} to stop a certain reel, it always cycles through all of the pictures once, then quickly snaps into place, remaining on the picture that was in the center-most portion of the reel at the moment {{button|switch|A}} was pressed.
