What Is Mario Sports Superstars?
Mario Sports Superstars is a sports compilation released for the Nintendo 3DS on March 10, 2017. Rather than a mini-game collection, it delivers five fully developed sports: soccer, tennis, golf, baseball, and horse racing. Each mode has its own control scheme, tournament structure, and roster of Mario characters, so you're getting five distinct games under one title.
The game was a collaboration between two studios with strong sports pedigrees: Bandai Namco Studios and Camelot Software Planning. Camelot is known for its work on Mario Golf and Mario Tennis titles, and that experience shows in the tight mechanics of those modes. Bandai Namco handled the broader sports design, giving the package a consistent feel across all five events.
You can play solo through tournaments and challenges, or bring friends in for local multiplayer. The pick-up-and-play nature makes it a natural fit for short sessions, while the deeper mechanics reward players who stick with a single sport.
Key Features
- Five complete sports: Soccer, tennis, golf, baseball, and horse racing — each with unique controls and rules.
- Full character roster: Play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, and many other familiar faces, each with stats that suit different playstyles.
- Tournament and challenge modes: Progress through structured competitions in every sport.
- Local multiplayer: Compete with friends using a single copy of the game via Download Play or multiple systems.
- Horse racing depth: A standout mode with breeding and training mechanics that go beyond simple racing.
- Multiple languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch.
- Flashcard compatibility: Runs on Gateway and Sky3DS+ flashcarts, with .3DS ROM format.
Sport-by-Sport Breakdown
Soccer
Fast-paced five-a-side matches with special shots and a focus on quick passing. The controls are simple enough for newcomers but allow for tactical play with character-specific abilities.
Tennis
Singles and doubles matches with a range of shot types — topspin, slice, lob, and drop shot. The timing-based mechanics feel familiar to anyone who has played a Mario Tennis game, which makes sense given Camelot's involvement.
Golf
A full 18-hole experience with clubs, wind conditions, and terrain that affects ball roll. You'll find the classic three-click swing system and character-specific power and accuracy stats.
Baseball
Simplified but complete baseball with pitching, batting, and fielding. The game uses a timing-based hitting system and offers both quick matches and tournament play.
Horse Racing
The deepest mode in the collection. You can breed and train horses, manage stamina, and race in a variety of tracks. It adds a management layer that the other sports don't have.
Pros & Cons
- Pros:
- Five full sports in one package — excellent value for variety.
- Solid mechanics backed by experienced sports developers.
- Local multiplayer makes it a great party game.
- Horse racing mode offers unexpected depth.
- Cons:
- No online multiplayer — local play only.
- Some sports feel less polished than others (baseball is simpler than golf or tennis).
- Requires a flashcard (Gateway/Sky3DS+) to run on original hardware.
- File size is nearly 900MB, so you'll need a larger SD card.

Version Freshness & Trust Signals
This listing points to the final EUR/USA release of Mario Sports Superstars. The game received no major post-launch patches, so the ROM you download here is the complete, final version. The developer field lists Berry, which corresponds to the uploader/compiler of this ROM package, not the original game developer. The original game was developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo.
File sizes are 898MB for the EUR version and 892MB for the USA version — both are single-part downloads, so no RAR extraction is required for the base ROM. However, if you encounter a RAR archive, use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract it. There is no password on any game files uploaded here.
Before downloading, check that your flashcard firmware is up to date. Gateway and Sky3DS+ both require specific firmware versions to run .3DS ROMs. You can find compatibility notes in the respective flashcard communities. If a link is dead, use the reupload request option on the site.
Installation Guidance
This ROM is designed for use with Gateway or Sky3DS+ flashcarts on a physical Nintendo 3DS. To play, copy the .3DS file to the root of your flashcart's microSD card, insert the card into the flashcart, and follow your flashcart's standard loading procedure. For Gateway, you'll need to boot into Gateway mode; for Sky3DS+, use the diskwriter tool to write the ROM to the card. Always eject the card safely before removing it.

Who Is This For?
Mario Sports Superstars suits players who want a variety of sports without switching cartridges, families looking for local multiplayer fun, and collectors building a 3DS ROM library. If you prefer deep simulation in a single sport, you might find the modes here a bit streamlined — but for casual play and quick matches, it's hard to beat the convenience of five games in one.
