'''Picture Poker''' is one of [[Luigi]]'s [[minigame]]s in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and a Table minigame in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' It is similar to the real-world poker variant of {{wp|five-card draw}}.

This minigame is a casino-style card game in which the player automatically bets [[coin]]s that their five-card hand beats Luigi's. After being dealt their hand, the player can bet more coins and/or have some or all of their cards replaced with random cards from the deck. Luigi then, if need be, replaces cards in his hand (which appear facedown to the player) with random cards from the deck. The hands are then shown. If the player's hand is better, they win a set number of coins based on both the rank of their hand and the number of coins bet ranging from a Pair (2×) to a Flush (or five of a kind) (16×). If Luigi's hand is better, the player simply loses the coins bet. In the rare occurrence that a draw happens, the player gets their coins back.

The player is awarded Stars with each victory and is deducted Stars (if they have any) with each loss. The minimum bet is determined by the number of Stars in the player's possession; the bet increases by one for every five Stars, with a maximum of four at 15 Stars. If the player runs out of coins, the [[Game Over|minigame is over]] and must be restarted.

 

 

The player can get a maximum of 9,999 coins.<ref>Mkarkus (March 20, 2021). [https://youtu.be/pfkZK_oeM9c?si=dWlT-JLuapU9gNNE Picture Poker - MAX Score - New Super Mario Bros DS]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 5, 2024.</ref>
