WhileMario appeared in Tennis as a referee, he first starred as a player in the Virtual Boy game Mario's Tennis, developed by Nintendo R&D1. Like the Mario Golf series, the games have been developed by Camelot Software Planning since the Nintendo 64 instalment.

The Game Boy Color version is the first game in the series to feature a story mode with original characters. Characters from the Game Boy Color version of Mario Tennis can be uploaded to the Nintendo 64 version via Transfer Pak connectivity.

As with tennis, Mario appeared in multiple golf games before appearing in a Mario-branded entry on the Nintendo 64. Golf was the first sports game to feature Mario as a player. The series is currently developed by Camelot Software Planning.

The Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series is a collection of games that take place during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, crossing over characters from the Mario series with those from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. It debuted in 2007 for the Wii with the Beijing 2008 edition, titled Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Nintendo published the East Asian versions of the first three games and fully published the fourth and fifth games, while Sega published the Western versions of the first three games and fully published the sixth game, with Nintendo licensing characters.

Mario Sports Superstars is a Super Mario sports title for the Nintendo 3DS. It features a variety of sports in which Mario and many other characters from the Super Mario universe can compete, including soccer, baseball, tennis, golf, and horse racing. Horse racing is the only new sport in the Super Mario sports spin-offs, while the rest of the sports have seen stand-alone games prior to Mario Sports Superstars. The game supports local multiplayer and is able to support two, four, or six players depending on the sport played, though this title is one of the few multiplayer-oriented Super Mario titles to not feature Download Play. Players could additionally play against opponents over Nintendo Network, either worldwide against random opponents or with their friends. However, the service was terminated on April 8, 2024, making the game no longer playable online.[1][2]

The game is primarily developed by Bandai Namco Studios, with Camelot Software Planning, the main developer for the Mario Tennis and Mario Golf series, contributing the golf and tennis portions of the game. The game required 6,589 blocks (843.3 MB) of free space if players wished to download the title off the Nintendo eShop until March 27, 2023. The game is compatible with amiibo, and a new Mario Sports Superstars line of blind-packaged amiibo cards were released for the game. Those who purchased one of the "initial run" copies of Mario Sports Superstars at retail received a free, randomly selected amiibo card from that line.

In a similar manner to another sports compilation, Mario Sports Mix, each sport plays out as its own separate mode. The tennis and golf sports play similarly to Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and Mario Golf: World Tour. Each mode has its own tournament mode, a three-tier system that has eight participating players in total, catered to single players. Three cups are available, with the first cup being the Mushroom Cup, the second being the Flower Cup and the third being the Star Cup. Completing the Star Cup unlocks the Champion's Cup, and completing said cup unlocks Star versions of playable characters, who have increased stats.[3] The player needs to unlock Star characters for each sport individually. Each sport has its own training mode as well, where players can practice shots or techniques freely.

Coins can be earned when a task is completed, such as winning a match in exhibition or winning tournaments or finding crates with coins inside them in horse racing. They are used to buy randomly packaged cards in the shop.

A sport previously playable in the Mario Strikers series. Unlike that series and as in the actual sport, players participate in 11-vs-11 matches. Teams are composed of a designated team captain, who represents the team with their shield emblem, an assistant captain, who is another team captain character as an ally, a goalie (either Boom Boom or Pom Pom), and the rest are supporting generic characters such as Koopa Troopas or Shy Guys, which are filled out with only one type of character. Prior to beginning a match, players can adjust placement of their entire team in various formations. On the top screen, team members are identified by specific HUD circular markers underneath them, and on the Touch Screen, by their team's color. Both captains are represented by icons of their faces and are displayed in their current position while the generic characters are represented by dots. Once players select their team and formation, players have the option to save the team as "My Team", which allows for ease of access if players have a select favorite team they wish to use in future games. During the middle of the match, players can change their team formation as they wish, including when a half-time is called.

As in the Mario Strikers games, the object is to kick the ball into the opponent's goal, overcoming the opposing team members and their goalie, who attempts to block balls, within the designated pseudo 90-minute time limit (the speed of the time limit goes up depending on the settings, but generally speaking, having the highest time setting, 15-minute matches, causes the time limit to slow down). Halfway through the match, at the 45-minute mark, players halt the game and are taken to a screen that records the current progress of both teams. Afterward, the losing team initiates the kick, and the game continues, with the team's goals reversed until the 90-minute mark is reached. Whichever team has the most goals by the end of the match wins the game. Whenever a goal is scored, a replay of the shot is shown. Players can skip the replay if they wish or change the angle from which it is shown. The opposing team captains then get possession of the ball and start off in the middle of the field, beginning the play again.

Unlike in those games, however, players have more control options and strategies available to them to accommodate the actual sport's additional rules. For example, players on the defense can attempt to steal the ball in possession from other players via slide-kicks, pressure defending with their team via the or by themselves with (per the default Type A control scheme), or by simply running into the ball. Players who possess the ball may attempt to dodge confrontations by sliding around holding by default. However, if the character in possession of the ball is struck with a slide-kick without the ball being touched, a foul is called and the player who is hit by the slide-kicking player earns a free kick, which depends on the orientation where the foul was initiated. There are now throw-ins if the ball rolls out of bounds, and if this happens in the area adjacent to the goalie, a corner kick is initiated instead. If the opponent team knocks the ball into their opponent's goal side, a goal kick is initiated in which the goalie kicks the ball back onto the field. When kicking into the goal, players may press and hold the button to charge up their shots; a meter is represented below the character to indicate how powerful the shot will be. Certain types of passes also have their own power meter that indicates the power of the pass. Players can additionally perform an extra technique of kicks if is held and a corresponding button is pressed, such as lobbing a pass with + .

Powerful Special Shots can be performed by the captain and assistant captain when the ball starts to sparkle. Each Special Shot has a unique visual effect that varies with the character. Team captains may also pass the ball using their Special Combo Shot move to another captain when the ball is glowing as well. All actions are tied to a character's stamina, which is represented by a blue arrow above the controlled character. The more a character plays and dashes across the field, the more stamina is lost. Characters who have a lowered stamina bar have weaker passes, shots, and speed. Players replenish stamina when they do not partake in any action.

In multiplayer mode, up to four players can play this sport in local multiplayer, while only two players can play in online play. However, if two players are playing, either in local or online multiplayer, they cannot choose to be on the same team up against a computer player controlling the other team.

Baseball involves two teams of nine characters against each other, similar to the Mario Baseball series, as well as having various elements and gameplay mechanics taken from that series. Players need to select a team captain, as well as selecting an assistant captain, similar to how soccer plays out. The seven slots can then be individually filled with the player's choice, from a pool of generic characters such as Koopas, Toads, etc. unlike the soccer, where the player's team is homogeneous with a single species. Team members hold a bat that has their team captain's logo and design on them, unlike the Mario Baseball series, where they all had their own individual bats. Just like in soccer, players can save their favorite team and formation as "My Team" once their team is fully constructed for ease of access if players wish to use said team again.

Players play in two positions of baseball; the team on offense takes turns within their members to bat the ball while the team on the defense pitches and covers the outfield. Players on the pitching mound can pitch using various methods, such as fastballs, forkballs, and screwballs to throw batting players off. Pitching has slightly different controls than the ones in the Mario Baseball series. Meters and HUD are used to time pitches and their type rather than pure button-inputs; to pitch a ball, players can sort through different pitch methods and time the spinning meter with the designated colored sweet spots within ten seconds. Players who bat earn strikes if the pitched ball goes over the home plate and they either do not hit the ball or miss the ball. A ball is called when the pitched ball does not cross over the plate; however, if the batting attempts to swing at such balls, a strike is called. Three strikes mean the player is out. If the batting player hits the ball and it lands on the foul zone, the player must rebat the ball at a cost of the strike, though it does not earn an out if they hit in a foul zone over three strikes. If there are four ball penalties, the batting player gets to walk the base. If the pitched ball hits the batting player, the batting player also gets a free walk to the base. Pitchers have stamina; more hits from the opposing team depletes stamina quicker. Over time, the pitching meter moves faster, meaning it is harder to hit the sweet spot markers correctly. Characters who tire out have very fast spinning meters, and are encouraged to switch to another character so players can be more accurate timing their pitches.
