Memory Match is one of Luigi's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS and a Table minigame in New Super Mario Bros. This minigame plays identically to the real-world card game Concentration.

A harder version of this minigame called Memory Master is exclusive to Super Mario 64 DS.

Gameplay

Single player

After the player bets three coins, Luigi serves a group of eight cards upside down, and the player must match them up with their twins. At the start, Luigi's cards feature symbols such as a Cloud, a Mushroom, a Fire Flower, and a Super Star. As the player progresses, additional symbols are introduced, including Mario, Luigi, a Goomba, Bowser, a Boo, and Yoshi. By completing a challenge successfully, the player gains nine coins and receives a Star as a point. In Super Mario 64 DS, earning five Stars makes Luigi serve 10 cards, and earning 15 Stars or more makes him serve 12 cards. In New Super Mario Bros., after Luigi serves more cards when the player has five Stars, a few cards flip at the start of a challenge for about two seconds, giving the player hints to find their twins afterwards. If the player taps two different cards, a coin is given to Luigi from the bet number, causing the likely loss of a Star if Luigi takes all these coins. If the player loses all of the money to bet, the minigame ends.
