- Not to be confused withCards.
Cards appear inSuper Mario Bros. 3 as collectibles found at agoal. The player acquires one out of a roulette every time alevel with a goal is cleared; the pictures depicted areMushrooms,Flowers, andStars. Once three cards are collected, the player is given a1-Up prize: one if the cards do not match, two if the cards are Mushrooms, three if the cards are Flowers, and five if the cards are Stars.
Cards can also be obtained via the 2 Player Game, specifically upon initiating theMario Bros.–styled battle mode. Hitting the other player from thefloor below like an enemy,stomping on them, or using thePOW Block while they are on a floor shakes a card out of them, and it proceeds to bounce around until it is reclaimed, stolen, or lost. In the boxes and ladders bonus stage, it is possible to get a fourth type of card, which looks like a flame. Thisglitched card can award many lives in combination with other cards but can also crash the game.[1][2][3]
Cards also appear with a different function in anN-Mark Spade Panel. They show various items in a card-matching setup, and matching two cards automatically adds that item to the inventory. Flipping two unlike cards twice or getting all nine pairs ends the diversion.
InSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, cards from the ends of levels are renamedpanels in-game; however, the ones from the N-Mark Spade Panelminigame are still referred to as cards. As the battle mode is absent in this version, panels cannot be stolen by other players.
Super Mario Maker,Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, andSuper Mario Maker 2 repurpose goal cards to immediately give points instead, with an extra1-Up Mushroom card added to give an extra life.
