This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

The AR Games are built-in software on the Nintendo 3DS that use the Question Block AR (Augmented Reality) Card and/or the five Character Cards (these feature famous Nintendo characters: Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus, and a group of Pikmin). When activating the feature, a yellow cube emerges from the card, and a targeting reticule appears on the screen. Using the 3DS's gyroscope, the player must shoot this cube, which causes it to jump in the air. A second later, this cube is replaced by six others, each of which opening an AR Game when shot: Graffiti, Star Pics, Mii Pics, Fishing, Archery, and AR Shot. After using these for a period of time, a blue box appears in the bottom-right section of the main menu. Shooting it flips the surface that the AR Card is on to reveal seven more blue boxes: Clock, Globe, 3D Tools, Fish Gallery, Free Fishing, Archery 2, and AR Shot 2, all of which can be unlocked for one to three Play Coins.

Games/Features with Mario-related content

Fishing

In the Fishing minigame, Mario items and enemies can be caught. Both a Blooper and a Lakitu appear randomly, and the Lakitu will fish the Blooper out of the water. If lightning strikes the water, then the player can catch a Fishbone. If the AR Card is placed on a green colored surface, then the player can catch a Green Shell. If the AR Card is located on a red surface instead, Cheep-Cheeps can be caught. The chances of catching any of these are improved if the player unlocks the Free Fishing mini-game, which enables him or her to fish for an unlimited amount of time (the main game sets a two-minute time limit, after which the player is forced to fight a dragon, a boss used in Archery and AR Shot as well)

Graffiti

Mario also makes an appearance in the Graffiti mini-game, which uses tools commonly found in an art studio: a pencil, paint, stamps, and an eraser. Images of the five Character Cards are available to trace, and the stamp section includes a stamp of an 8-bit Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros.

Star Pics

If the player uses Mario's AR Card, then he or she is able to take pictures of Mario using the 3DS' built-in camera feature.
