'''''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''''', known as '''''Mario Slam Basketball''''' in European languages, is a ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' [[Genre#Sports|sports]] game developed by [[Square Enix]] for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It features [[Mario]] and his friends participating in basketball with two competing teams of three characters. This game is the first ''Mario'' sports game to be dedicated around basketball. While the game plays with the traditional basketball rules of shooting the ball into a net, various ''Mario''-themed mechanics are incorporated into the game to differentiate from the real sport. For example, players can dribble the ball into [[? Panel]]s to obtain [[coin]]s that better their score whenever a shot is taken, and when on defense, these ? Panels provide ''Mario'' series items to use against the opposition. Players can additionally perform  Special Shots to ensure that the ball makes it into the hoop. Unlike most other ''Mario'' sports titles, ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' is controlled entirely by the touchscreen, with nearly all moves using swipe or tapping controls via the Nintendo DS [[Nintendo DS#Stylus|stylus]]. The game supports local play with multiple cartridges and download play with a single cartridge, and it supports up to four players.
