Isn't this his second basketball game?

Yes, but it's the first one he's starred in.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

I don't know whether to get it now, or wait 'till Christmas. :/

Bombsketball? Is that like a mix of Hot Potato and basketball, where you play with a rubber-coated Bob-omb?

I don't know if it's the real name, but it was a mini-game in Mario Party.  I can't remember the rules very well, but it was fun...

Well, I got it today, and I must say, it is decent. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but kinda neat. It does utilize the touch screen, which is a huge plus, and it is just all around fun. Unfortunately, the music is god awful, you have to unlock the Final Fantasy characters, and Bowser Jr. is present. The items are kinda handy, but I rarely use them. In all, it feels like they put Mario Power Tennis , Mario Kart, and some mediocre Basketball game in a blender. My Opinion is a 7.5/10

Ah, of course.  Thank you, US.

Well... I got the game, and I think it is great. I like how you can dribble in any possible spot, and throw items in any direction. I was freaked out by the music at first, but I liked it anyway. What REALLY freaked me out was the Moogle!!!!!! (I hope that wasn't a spoiler...)

I love it. I've been playing it almost nonstop since I got it, and I still haven't unlocked everything.

"Wario is great!" I never get tired of that.
I'll think of a better signature later!

The only major complaint I have is that the first Square/Nintendo Mario in almost exactly ten years has absolutely no connections to SMRPG. Weren't we all expecting Geno or Mallow to show up, especially with Geno's cameo in Superstar Saga?

Believe it or not, I wasn't, and I just started playing SMRPG. (I had to borrow the game from a good friend)

It's so weird that Mario teams up with the Final Fantasy characters. Square Enix also did that with Kingdom Hearts (Disney Characters) I think they are desperate for another Final Fantasy! :p

Uh they are making another FF. Actually, they're making about three new FFs.
