Super Roshambo
Super Roshambo (stylized as SUPER Roshambo!) is a rock–paper–scissors minigame that appears in Paper Mario: Color Splash. The minigame takes place at the Roshambo Temples with cheering Toads.
Gameplay
In this game, Mario faces off against three opponents one at a time. First, players choose one of three Roshambo Cards: rock, scissors, and paper. The cards they've selected will be shown face down. After that, the "Ro-Sham-Bo!" message will appear onscreen, starting with Mario on "Ro" and his opponent on "Sham". On "Bo!", the cards flip over. Just like in a standard game: rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper, and paper covers rock. If both cards have the same sign, it is a tie and the process repeats until there is a winner. Mario can win coins and a Battle Card if he defeats all of the opponents but if he loses, then he'll have to play again by getting a Mini Paint Star or by paying a fee to sneak in.

Trivia
- Once Mario and his opponent pick their cards, there is a way to tell if Mario won, tied, or lost before the cards are revealed. If there is a bit of a pause before the Toads say ¨RO-SHAM-BO¨, this implies that Mario has either won or tied. If there is no pause, Mario has lost.
