Four crystals fall from the sky and crash within the Mushroom Kingdom, each crystal bearing an image representing a different sport. This inspires several Toads to begin holding games and tournaments for each of these sports. A team from the crystals' original world later arrives seeking to claim the crystals instead.

Gameplay[edit]

There are four different sports games to be chosen from (basketball, volleyball, hockey, or dodgeball). The gameplay is influenced by Mario Hoops, along with the addition of ? Panels which can grant the players items to use during games. The playable characters are able to perform a variety of moves that are unique to the character (such as Mario's spin jump and Bowser's shell defenses).

This game also supports online multiplayer.
