You tap to dribble, slide the stylus toward a teammate to pass and flick upward to shoot, while the D-pad moves your player. Drawing specific patterns on the screen triggers each character's special shot. Games are three against three, and you swap control between teammates as the ball moves around the court.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCoins, cups and Final Fantasy guests\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScoring works differently from real basketball. Dribbling over question panels on the court earns coins for your team, and each basket adds those coins to the points you score. Tournaments run through cups like the Mushroom Cup and Flower Cup on courts themed after Mario locations. Beyond the Mario cast, you can unlock Final Fantasy characters including the White Mage, Black Mage, Ninja, Cactuar and Moogle. Multiplayer works over local DS wireless, including Download Play from one card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChecking a pre-owned DS game card\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing is for the game card, and the photo is representative. Look over the label and the metal contacts, then check that the card loads on your system. DS games save to the card itself, so a used copy may carry an earlier player's progress. A stylus comes with your DS, not with this game.
