I got this game i think 3 or 4 years ago, I was blasting through the levels until I got to hard mode airship level. I probably tried it for I think anywhere between 5-10 hours then I rage ouitted. I think I tried it maybe 2 years later and for another 2 or 3 hours I was stuck on it and stopped playing it again and if I'mnot mistaken, I had a lead with 10 seconds left but the game crashed on me so I didn't win. Just yesterday I picked the game up and I was in this situation probably 2 to 3 hours in (this is just off of my memory so I don't know every exact thing.) Me: 264 points My opponents: 246 points 17:24 seconds left I had just scored so they had the ball, I groundpounded and got the ball back. Then with probably less then 4 seconds left they hit me and I lost the ball right by my side all the way on the bottom right of the course, the white mage was on her way to the basket and there was nothing I could do besides pray that time would save me. She did the jump to be by the rim, the clock was at probably .75 seconds left. The ball went down and into the basket. But right before she got it in there and I'm talking like a FRAME BEFORE SHE GOT IT IN! The clock said time and I looked at the score and it showed that I won. I couldn't scream out loud so i was screaming so quietly like it sounded like wind passing by. I finally got the trophy. Now I'm trying to 100 percent the game.
That game is a hidden gem. I didn't have friends that I could really play it with so I had to play with AI, which was one of the easiest things ever. But I would have loved to play with other people.
This is one of my favourite DS games! The mechanics are so rewarding and fun, and it controls like a dream. My trio was always Ninja, Cactaur, and Yoshi. So glad it's finally getting some recognition!
0:17 Nice shirt Dude, this game was so weird. I played it to death when I was a kid because I wanted to like it so badly. In the end, I preferred the Mario soccer games and sank most my time into those haha. Super nostalgic watching this though and great video as always!

I absolutely loved this game to death as a kid. The soundtrack, characters, everything. I couldn't get enough of Bowser's and Black Mage's absolutely badass special attacks
This was my childhood, no I’m serious! After Mario Kart DS and Mario Party DS, THIS was the game that me and cousins loved to play! Sucks that I lost it!
This was my absolute favorite game to play on my ds. Even though i was trash at it growing up, it was so diverse and had so much to offer. I remeber all the crazy special shots. Man great times
Mario Hoops 3on3 was so awesome to play. My favorite to use was Black Mage. I liked white mage from time to time too just because she seemed to be able to shoot from anywhere
Man. Those were the days. I remember the time that I was so surprised that Final Fantasy characters are in like my boi Black Mage, Ninja, White Mage, Moogle, and Cactuar (who was frustrating to get)
I remember my dad bought me this game for my birthday. I poured hours upon hours into it. Mostly because I specifically remember him taking me to the store, walking down the isle and pausing for me to choose which game I wanted. I LOVED THIS GAME!!! Always reminded me of him while playing. And even now, many many years later, it still reminds me of him ☺️❤️
OH MY GOODNESS, THIS IS MY FAVORITE DS GAME OF ALL TIME. I played this game nonstop as a kid and I've always loved it! Thank you for acknowledging this one-of-a-kind title!
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 is my childhood game. I love how smooth the game works, and a wide variety of characters. I always picked Yoshi, Birdo and Paratroopa. The nostalgia when I play multiplayer with my sister, we had a lot of shenanigans there.
NOBODY REMEMBERS THIS GAME? I used to always play this when I was young on the DS. There wasn't much things to do other than basketball but I still played so much
I remember this game! I played it all the time as a kid. I was thinking about this game a few days ago, but I couldn't think of the name. Thanks Nathaniel
This game is criminally underated, it was so fun and the music is boppin. My team was always Peach, Daisy, and Birdo, though I sometimes swapped Peach for White Mage or Yoshi
I remember this, I saw the commercial for this game, it was during a time I was already a fan of Super Mario, and I was becoming a fan of the NBA, I got my taste of Mario and Basketball in NBA Street V3 for Gamecube and when I saw an ad for Mario Hoops on TV, I was immediately SOLD! Best birthday gift ever. Too bad not many people know about this, it’s a really good arcade like Basketball that makes NBA JAM blink, and that is a known arcade b ball game.
"no one seems to remember this game"
I remember playing this game for hours in order to beat that airship level. It was so insanely fun and unique
yes sir i got stuck in the airship level and lost the cartridge haha
It's cool when you go to the airship level there's this little animation where your character claims in those large stems to get to the airship

@@shawnretta1445 this a dope ass story lol
This game is actually so good !
Sure is
But Mario Super Sluggers is better
I recently got it. I love it so much
This game is so fun
I know right i have it and its awsome!
I played this game, soooo much, I loved, it's so fricking awesome, I loved thir special atacks, and the music, ahhh man the nostalgia.
Ik my favorite special move was Fly Guy's with his lighting👌🏽⚡⚡🔥
Such an impressive game for the ds. It looks and sounds really good
Can we get "How Mario Sports Mix is Mind Blowing" in the future?
*I LOVE MARIO SPORTS MIX!!!*
My favorite sport is dodgeball
Actually still own it and I played it with my classmate last week. AMAZING GAME!!
That game is a hidden gem. I didn't have friends that I could really play it with so I had to play with AI, which was one of the easiest things ever. But I would have loved to play with other people.
So good I’ve been thinking this for a while
HarmonyBunny yes. This is the best Mario sports game
Mario hoops 3 on 3 was amazing
I remember that my trio was Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser Jr.
Yeah, I'm not into sports games but I loved this one
The ff cast steal the trophies was one the most epic game moment for me
Lol mine always was the ninja mage and black mage
I just went good ol’ Mario, Luigi, and Peach.
Was also my trio in Mario Sports Mix
I always rolled with Wario, Mario and DK. Mostly for the "Wario is great!" line xD
This is one of my favourite DS games! The mechanics are so rewarding and fun, and it controls like a dream. My trio was always Ninja, Cactaur, and Yoshi. So glad it's finally getting some recognition!
You seriously got nba 2k21 already?
Yea it's the same as 2k 13
They never change it
Just the title screen and game cover
Dreamcast Soup could’ve put all that in one reply 😂
This is probably gonna get a heart
0:17 Nice shirt

Hi troy
Me with Golf
Whats the mario kart pro doin in a mario basketball comments
@@MrRicReaper the pro is NMeade world records
Mario Sports game with Final Fantasy characters?
*_Smash Ultimate is crying in the corner because of this huge crossover_*
Does it have more than 2 songs?
😳 stop following me
Mario Sports Mix as well
Doesn't super smash bros also have mario and final fantasy characters in it
And I thought Mario sports mix had final fantasy characters to
But what if, the reflection of himself was Bathaniel Nandy?!
insert V Sauce music
Captain Pillow Tyne and Mr. Krabs oh yeah, it’s big brain time
Im calling MatPat
That would be...... Mind blowing
It was called Mario slam basketball in the UK and I think Europe as well
I’m pretty sure the UK is part of Europe.
Yes it was called Mario Slam Basketball in Europe (source: me, I have this game and I'm Belgian)
@@brandonhenschke currently, it still is yes, but for how long yet...
Yup
@@mrthorian8096 It always will be, the EU that the UK are leaving from is called the European Union which is political and economical union, not the continent.
“Nobody remembers this game” HELL NAW! THIS WAS MY JAM
My slam jam
No one can blame Bandy, really. This game is omega underrated
I absolutely loved this game to death as a kid. The soundtrack, characters, everything. I couldn't get enough of Bowser's and Black Mage's absolutely badass special attacks
The gameplay, roster, courts, and music are all bangers! I love this game so much.
I always got stuck on trying to remember how to do Black Mage’s Special
It´s a star
I always use Luigi´s. He has the least difficult one
Trueblade I was so happy when I can get shy guy on hard. I struggle so hard to get black mage
Jen same heck and White Mage’s is also the same thing!
I could never do cactuars special. And he was my best character.
The fact this video acknowledges an underrated obscure Mario is MIND BLOWING
Bro, literally all you had to do was say Waluigi playing basketball and then play the outro. Would have been the easiest video you ever had to do.
OjaruFan Bro, it’s a joke. It’s not meant to be taken seriously.
@OjaruFan how could you have seen that in any way else besides a joke
M E M E R I O and this is why you’re getting a downvote from me. Not everything has to be Waluigi, joke or not.
This was my childhood, no I’m serious!
After Mario Kart DS and Mario Party DS, THIS was the game that me and cousins loved to play!
Sucks that I lost it!
Press F to MarioKartGamerDude bois
I still remember how easy Luigi’s special was lmao
Karma this!
This was my absolute favorite game to play on my ds. Even though i was trash at it growing up, it was so diverse and had so much to offer. I remeber all the crazy special shots. Man great times
Nathaniel Bandy: 0:50 you dunk him
Me: GET DUNKED ON WARIO
Here in Italy, it's simply called "Mario slam basketball"
I still have that game! I'm glad someone remembers it.
I’m so glad somebody knows about this game ♥️
My literal childhood having a DS
This was one of my favorites as a kid. I specifically remember playing this the day of my aunt and uncles wedding. That was 4 years ago.
1:20 that Fortnite reference
Nathaniel I’m worried about you
Yes, it’s a Fortnite reference and it’s not funny.
Its secretly Bathaniel!!!!
1:28 Me in Winter
I remember frickin' loving this game as a kid and I really love how you made a "mind blowing" video on it
Mario Meets NBA 2019. Releases 9/20/19 , New Area 51 course. Definitely gonna be the next big title by Nintendo
This game was the reason why I played basketball first but later on played soccer
I played this game so much on my DS this game is surely striving for orginality right anyone?
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 is one of my most favourite childhood game. I feel nostalgia when I see this video.
#strivingoriginality
Never heard of this game before. But I'm putting it on my wish list ASAP.
White mage is just Beta Rosalina.
*FIGHT ME*
Nah, your pretty right about that
I once thought she was Rosalina when I played Sports Mix.
No i don't like fighting people just because they have opinions
Nintendo Gamer why thank you for being a reasonable and smart person
@@rostaranto3883 Your welcome.
Mario Hoops 3on3 was so awesome to play. My favorite to use was Black Mage. I liked white mage from time to time too just because she seemed to be able to shoot from anywhere
Man. Those were the days.
I remember the time that I was so surprised that Final Fantasy characters are in like my boi Black Mage, Ninja, White Mage, Moogle, and Cactuar (who was frustrating to get)
My childhood game right here
Nintendo needs to bring back a basketball game
Even better
I remember my dad bought me this game for my birthday. I poured hours upon hours into it. Mostly because I specifically remember him taking me to the store, walking down the isle and pausing for me to choose which game I wanted.
I LOVED THIS GAME!!! Always reminded me of him while playing. And even now, many many years later, it still reminds me of him ☺️❤️
Marvel: Avengers Endgame is the most ambitious crossover in history!
Mario Hoops: Hold my beer
OH MY GOODNESS, THIS IS MY FAVORITE DS GAME OF ALL TIME. I played this game nonstop as a kid and I've always loved it! Thank you for acknowledging this one-of-a-kind title!
Finally, a video about one of this underrated gem! I’m still trying to get the white mage character.
Sports Mix was amazing
Mario meets Final fantasy. Nuff Said.
He alsi met Dragoon Quest in the Sequel: Mario Sports Mix and Fortune Street.
This game was my childhood! Glad you did a video about it
Mario Hoops 3 on 3 Re;Bound for Nintendo Switch
Out Summer 2020
I wish
This game was amazing I had it when I was younger and I recently rebought it for nostalgia, easily 11/10
I know you made the video of Mario hoops 3 on 3 3 minutes and 30 seconds on purpose Nathaniel
0:41 This is what you came in for.
“Plus there’s unlockable balls” 😏😂
I’ve played this game lots of times on the DS. I love Bowser Jr’s Slot court the best!
Next (possibly): How Mario Hoops 3-on-3 TRIGGERS You!
Imagine?
I loved this game, its funny because when my younger brother was playing it he raged so hard he bit my screen. I will never forget this game
I used to own this Game but the only thing that I rememberd about It was how I used the Rainbow basketball all the time.
I remember playing this in the prime time of my childhood, 3-5 years old, and this was an amazing game, I don't know why its not really talked about
I love this game but sport mix oh my god please do that one soon
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 is my childhood game. I love how smooth the game works, and a wide variety of characters. I always picked Yoshi, Birdo and Paratroopa.
The nostalgia when I play multiplayer with my sister, we had a lot of shenanigans there.
0:40
I'm sorry but, the WHOLE soundtrack of this game is a banger😌
3:17 And then they pull a Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash...
It’s sad I never knew this game existed until now
This game is one the first games I have ever played
This looks extremly impressive for a ds game
Thank you for making this; this game is so underappreciated
Nathaniel, make a "How Sonic 06 *TRIGGERS* you"
It triggers you by transporting you out of the game itself
@OjaruFan Nope there are some good aspects but hey it's not like a certain Sonic "fan" will agree...
Your wish has been granted!
It really make you FEEL like mario's hoop
NOBODY REMEMBERS THIS GAME? I used to always play this when I was young on the DS. There wasn't much things to do other than basketball but I still played so much
I am so glad someone remembers this game. This was my childhood
Mario sports mix has almost all of this and WAAAAAYYY more things
But this is still an excelent game
But Mario sports mix is better :)
Unlocking that Black Mage in this game was a living nightmare.
This game was bad....
at being bad.
actually this game is good.
I completely forgot this game existed. I did love this game as a kid though, this bought back some good memories.
“We have almost every favorite Mario character”
*Zooms in on Waluigi*
Nintendo: Ight, ima head out..
Nobody remembers this MASTERPIECE?? bruh that right there is my entire childhood
You know what's funny, the fact that everyone is just chilled on the menu and the cactus guy is like "ooh i got to get to the basketball field"
I remember this game! I played it all the time as a kid. I was thinking about this game a few days ago, but I couldn't think of the name. Thanks Nathaniel
I was just a little kid when I play this game, and I forget about it. This video made me remember about it, thank you
5 Third-Party Characters... How nice.
This game is nostalgic
Dude I LOVED THIS GAME AS A KID.
NB:I love when Cacitar dances like he’s running.
NB later:DANCE LIKE A NORMAL PERSO-
Thank you.You don’t even know how much I have been looking for this game I remember playing this as a little kid
Best Game of my childhood. Just started playing it again one week ago and it is still mind blowing
I didn’t even know about this game as a kid but know that you brought it up I’m getting a copy ASAP!
0:06 I do or else I wouldn't have been hyped for Hero in Smash
1:17 I was prolly thinking of Sports Mix then
This was my first mario game. The memories of mario slam basketball. Such a fun game and memorable ost
I love that you tell you they rigger you but then you show how awsome they are
This game was my childhood thanks for making this video :')
This was one of my favorite Mario spin-off games! I remember playing this game all the time!
that menu song, brings back so many memories
I love this game so much man love the music special moves and DS was so fun and is nostalgic
Omg I was just talking about this game thanks for making a video on it lol
Oh my god this game was such a big part of my childhood, I love it so much
This game is criminally underated, it was so fun and the music is boppin. My team was always Peach, Daisy, and Birdo, though I sometimes swapped Peach for White Mage or Yoshi
I grew up with this game and it still sticks into my nostalgia!

This is such a hidden gem thank you for covering it
Omg I actually grew up with this game! So much nostalgia
This was actually one of my first Mario sports games but I felt like it was basically Mario sports mix basketball with touch screen but I loved it
this is the creativity any future paper mario should have :,)
I used to play this game when I was a kid the memories are flooding back
