Mario Slam Basketball

Product Information

Additionally there's a good variety of different courts to play on, the list reading very much like a Mario Kart game – Mario Stadium, Koopa Beach, Bowser's Castle, DK Cruiser and so on. Each court comes with its own set of quirks such as DK barrels flattening players, exploding fireballs and even a court that's played entirely underwater. The single player mode takes you through all the stages, separated into tournaments of increasing difficulty and culminating with the Rainbow Tourney. A court held in a spooky, ghost-infested mansion. Ghosts sometimes take the ball in midflight and players must jump to retrieve it.

White Mage summons magic blue symbols, turning the ball into a comet which flies down into the hoop. Fly Guy wields a spear enveloped in lightning and skewers the ball, sending it high up to dive down into the hoop. Tapping the touch screen causes whoever has to ball to dribble in the direction the touch screen was tapped. Dribbling on ? Panels produces coins. With his spectacular dunks and powerful steals, Donkey Kong is a mighty hoops player. Don't get in his way!It's short on modes and asks you to replay the same tournaments on multiple difficulty settings, but the core gameplay in Mario Hoops is pretty good." Taking place in a city, players can take a risk by collecting Slot Coins to make the slots spin to either gain or lose points.

The opponent can drop the ball within a wider range than a simple steal. Gooper Blooper surrounds the ship with his tentacles and swings them at any player who is too close. Mario Hoops 3-on-3 plays with traditional basketball controls and rules. Two teams of three characters pit out against each other in a court, dribbling a ball past their opposition. The goal of the game is to amass the most points by shooting the ball into a raised net onto a particular side of the court; in the player's case, the hoop is always ahead of the player rather than behind, even while switching courts. The player's team of three is identified with red colors, while blue colors represent the opponent team's players. Most of the gameplay in this title is controlled by using the touch screen capabilities, such as dribbling the ball, performing dodging movements, and shooting the ball. The only exceptions are moving a character, which is controlled by the , and a special form of passing, which uses the button. This default control scheme assumes that all players are right-handed, and it can be switched around with the , , , and buttons controlling movement and the button for passing for left-handed players in the settings menu.The Challenges mode contains both practice modes and then an extra challenge-like mode after completing the main practice mode. Special Shot commands can only be executed by tapping the Touch Screen at the vertices of a certain pattern. This pattern must be created twice. The total number of taps with the on the Touch Screen to activate each shot varies depending on the required shot command type. If the Special Shot user is outside the 3-point line, they will instead shoot the ball towards a teammate, who then has to make a slam dunk. This also applies to characters whose Special Shots end in slam dunks themselves, resulting in unique animations for passing to teammates. Rubbing the stylus causes the character to create a small blue force field in front of them, and move around with it. Opponents can't get by this field.
