Mario Sports Mix
Template:Justreleased Template:Infobox Mario Sports Mix is a Mario sports game for the Wii, featuring Mario and company competing in hockey, basketball, dodgeball, and volleyball. This game was developed by Square Enix, who also developed Mario Hoops 3-on-3.
Gameplay
There will be cooperative play, as well as versus. Cooperative play will be up to three players, while competitive will be up to four players. A Wii Remote and Nunchuk control style has been revealed so far as a control scheme of the game. Players will be able to perform actions through moving the Wii Remote, such as jumping or hitting a volleyball.[1]
Basketball
It will be played in a similar way as Mario Hoops 3-on-3. The coins that the players gather will be added up to the score.
Volleyball
As in Mario Hoops 3-on-3, there will be ? panels in the floor, which will give items to the players who step on them. The coin system will also be the same.[2]
Ice Hockey
Like the other sports, Hockey will also have the ? Panels on the floor that gives the players items. Also, the puck is a coin.
Dodgeball
Dodgeball will be played by throwing a ball (most of the time). There will be 2 teams of 2 or 3 and a colored Yoshi (red and blue, according to witch team they are on) on their team. Players will have HP and lose a section when they get hit, except for the colored Yoshi. The colored Yoshi can never be "knocked out", but can't ever leave the box at the back of the court. Players can't control the Yoshis unless they encounter the ball, which is all they will ever try to do. As shown in screenshots, items can be used to hinder the opposing teams and make them lose their vitality.
Special Abilities
As in Mario Hoops 3-on-3, this game is shown to make use of character specific abilities. These abilities would allow the characters to unleash a powerful move in the variety of sports in the game. When used, they will completely change the gameplay of the sports. Each special ability will be unique to each character and these moves tend to vary from the sport that the player is playing.Template:Fact
