'''Spade Panels''',<ref name="smasmanual"> | '''Spade Panels''',<ref name="smasmanual">''Super Mario All-Stars'' instruction booklet, pages 31–32</ref><ref name="smb3manual">''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 21</ref> also known as '''Flip Games'''<ref>''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide, page 18</ref> or '''Spade Houses''',<ref>''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide back cover</ref> are small [[panel (Super Mario Bros. 3)|panel]]s on overworld maps in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' that can be used to earn [[Extra life|extra lives]] for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Once the player enters one, they can play a [[minigame]] hosted by a [[Toad (species)|Toad]]. Its gameplay is similar to that of a slot machine, in which parts of pictures slide past on three different reels, and the player must line up three matching parts to make a picture and win extra lives. There are [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower|Flower]], and [[Super Star|Star]] icons, granting two, three, and five extra lives when lined up as the '''Mushroom Picture''',<ref name="smasmanual"/><ref name="smb3manual"/> the '''Flower Picture''',<ref name="smasmanual"/><ref name="smb3manual"/> and the '''Star Picture''',<ref name="smasmanual"/><ref name="smb3manual"/> respectively, similar to the [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]] at the end of nearly every [[level]]. If any of the picture parts are mismatched, no extra lives are awarded. The player gets only one chance to play the minigame, after which the Spade Panel disappears. | ||
In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', if a Spade Panel is matched up correctly, further Spade Panels change to '''{{conjectural|Heart Panels}}'''. The Stars are replaced by [[Super Leaf]] icons that give seven extra lives. Clearing one of these turns further Heart Panels into '''{{conjectural|Club Panels}}''', and the Super Leaves change to "3" icons that reward 10 extra lives. Clearing a Club Panel turns further panels into '''{{conjectural|Diamond Panels}}''', where only one picture can be lined up, making it impossible to lose. Earning a minimal number of lives at previous panels results in a Mushroom Picture, while higher numbers yield a random picture, and each picture gives the corresponding number of extra lives. If the player clears a Diamond Panel, or fails at any of the other ones, all panels revert to Spade Panels, restarting the process. [[Completion|Clearing all levels]] makes all Spade Panels reusable. | While the player is inside the Spade Panel, a random number generator is used to add an arbitrary amount of delay in between the time when the player presses {{button|nes|A}} and the time that each of the slot reels starts slowing down. The possible delay time is 32 to 47 frames for the first reel, 32 to 63 frames for the second reel, and 64 to 127 frames for the third reel. This means that the variance for the time that each of the reels starts slowing down is 16 frames, 32 frames, and 64 frames, respectively. Without this variance, the window during which a certain picture can be obtained on each reel is 19 frames for the first and second reels and 16 frames for the third reel; however, since the variance is greater than this window for the second and third reels, it is impossible for the player to guarantee that the second and third reels will stop on a desired picture. Additionally, the 64-frame variance for the third reel is equivalent to one full revolution of the reel, essentially meaning that the picture that the third reel stops on is completely random, and cannot be determined by the player whatsoever.<ref>Retro Game Mechanics Explained (October 7, 2023).

A special Spade Panel, the [[N-Mark Spade Panel]], appears every 80,000 [[point]]s. When it is activated, the player plays a card game for prizes, with a total of nine prizes per game. After the game, all prizes earned are included in the player's inventory. Unlike with the other Spade Panel games, a player can make two mistakes during an N-Mark Spade Panel game before being returned to the [[world]] map; when the next 80,000 points are achieved, the player can continue the game off where they left. | A special Spade Panel, the [[N-Mark Spade Panel]], appears every 80,000 [[point]]s.
