'''Mario Hoops: 3-on-3''' is a basketball game featuring characters from the [[Portal: Mario Brothers|Mario]] and ''Final Fantasy'' series, developed by Square Enix and released for the [[Nintendo DS]].

=Gameplay=

The object of the game is the same as it is in real basketball. The player's team must score more points than the other team by making more baskets. All action is controlled with the touch pad.

The game has several modes. Tournament is the main mode, in which the player plays against a variety of teams. Practice teaches the player how to play. In Dribble Race, the player must be the first to gather 100 coins. In Coin Hunters, players must try to take coins from other players.
