The Fishing games feature multiple ''Super Mario'' [[List of items|items]] and [[List of enemies|enemies]] that can be caught and collected as "fish".

The '''Augmented Reality Games''', or '''AR Games''', as they are more commonly known, are built-in software on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] that use the [[Question Block]] AR Card and/or the five Character Cards (these feature famous [[Nintendo]] characters: [[Mario]], [[Toon 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, players 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 (though only Archery is available when the software is opened for the first time). 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.
If the AR Card is placed on a red surface, the player can catch [[Cheep Cheep]]s and [[Green Shell]]s.

In the Fishing [[minigame]], ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' items and enemies can be caught. When the game is activated, a water droplet appears on the Question Block AR Card. It jumps up and lands on the card, turning the surface the card is on into a body of water. Both a [[Blooper]] and a [[Lakitu]] appear randomly, and the Lakitu will fish the Blooper (which players can also catch) out of the water. If lightning strikes the water, then players can catch a [[Fishbone]]. If the AR Card is placed on a green colored surface, then players can catch a [[Green Shell]]. If the AR Card is located on a red surface instead, [[Cheep-Cheep]]s can be caught. The chances of catching any of these are improved if players unlock the Free Fishing minigame, which enables them to fish for an unlimited amount of time (the main game sets a two-minute time limit, after which players are forced to fight a dragon, a boss used in Shooting and AR Shot as well).

Mario also makes an appearance in the Graffiti minigame, 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.]]'' The 3D Tools option, once unlocked, allows players to turn their drawings (created on the touch screen) into three-dimensional images. Players can press the {{button|3ds|A}} button to make the drawing jump, and they can move the drawing around using the {{nobr|{{button|3ds|Stick}}}}. If left idle for a certain period of time, the drawing will lay flat on the surface on which the AR Card is placed, though it returns to an upright position shortly thereafter.

This feature is activated by using the Question Block AR Card. Once a yellow cube emerges from said card, players can then use one or more Character Cards in place of the Question Block AR Card. If players use Mario's AR Card, they are able to take pictures of Mario using the 3DS's built-in camera feature. The first few notes of Mario's theme are heard when Mario emerges from the card, and he can pose either standing, sitting, flying, jumping, or running. Depending on which pose Mario is in, a different sound effect plays (e.g. "Wahoo!" when in the flight pose). All of Mario's sound effects are taken from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and portions of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' theme serve as background music.

AR Games is a built-in software application on the Nintendo 3DS. It uses the six AR Cards bundled with the console in thirteen augmented reality games that the player progressively unlocks. In addition to using the Mario Card, AR Games features various Super Mario characters and assets.

Games with Super Mario content[edit]

Star Pics[edit]

Star Pics shows 3D models of characters on top of their respective Character Cards, including Mario. The models can be manipulated, such as by changing their position, size, and pose, and then photographed.

When Mario emerges from his card, the first two measures of the "Ground Theme" from Super Mario Bros. play. Parts of this theme are also used for the game's background music. Mario can be posed to stand (as depicted on the AR Card), sit, fly (like from a Launch Star), jump, or run. The sound effects accompanying these poses are from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Fishing / Fish Gallery / Free Fishing[edit]

The Fishing games feature multiple Super Mario items and enemies that can be caught and collected as "fish".

A Blooper and a Lakitu appear randomly, and the Lakitu will fish the Blooper (which the player can also catch) out of the water.

If lightning strikes the water, the player can catch a Fish Bone.

If the AR Card is placed on a red surface, the player can catch Cheep Cheeps and Green Shells.

Fish Gallery[edit]

Graffiti[edit]

A drawing of Mario (along with some 8-Bit sprites of the plumber from Super Mario Bros.), drawn (and stamped, in the case of the sprites) in the AR game Graffiti.
