The Nintendo 3DS, also known as simply the 3DS, is a foldable eighth-generation handheld game system produced by Nintendo. It is Nintendo's seventh handheld system as the successor to the Nintendo DS but derives elements from the Nintendo DSi, so it could more specifically be a successor to the latter. One of the Nintendo 3DS's primary features is the 3D visual screen, which displays auto-stereoscopic images to create the illusion of depth without the need for 3D glasses. The depth can be adjusted with a slider found to the right of the screen, or turned off completely to play games in 2D. The console was released in Japan on February 26, 2011; in Europe on March 25, 2011; in the United States and Canada on March 27, 2011; and in Australia on March 31, 2011. It is the handheld counterpart of the Wii U, with graphical capabilities likened to that of the Nintendo GameCube, with better 3D modeling than the GameCube, but not on par with the Wii, instead being more pixelated due to the lack of texture filtering. This is the first Nintendo handheld console (not counting the Nintendo DSi) since the Game Boy Color not to feature a game of the Super Mario franchise on its launch date. During development, the console was codenamed "Centrair". The system was initially available in two colors, Aqua Blue and Cosmos Black, with further iterations such as Flame Red, Pearl (Misty) Pink, and Midnight Purple released later. An Ice White 3DS (bundled with Super Mario 3D Land) was released in Japan on November 3, 2011, while a Cobalt Blue version bundled with Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon was released in North America on November 28, 2013. Three exclusive models inspired by Mario, Princess Peach, and Toad were also made available to Japanese, European, and Australian Club Nintendo members.[21] Later hardware revisions such as the 3DS XL also received Super Mario–themed models, including a Year of Luigi version released in Japan. The Nintendo 3DS console has a similar appearance to that of the Nintendo DS, but it builds upon its features. It includes three cameras, one being inward and the other two being outward, that are used to shoot 3D pictures, merge them, record 3D videos, and play camera-based games such as AR Games. The console, much like its predecessors, features the four The stereoscopic 3D effect provided by the 3DS has been subject to concern among consumers, forcing Nintendo to place a 7+ label on the system and its game boxes, the first in Nintendo system history. The stereoscopic 3D effect may contribute to visual stress to children's developing eyes and may cause a variety of symptoms including fatigue, nausea, headaches, dizziness, and eyestrain.[23] Warnings are frequently scattered throughout the games themselves; for example, Super Mario 3D Land frequently advises the player, "Don't forget to take a break when you feel tired." To reduce disorientation from the 3D, the effect can be adjusted with the slider or even turned off altogether. Parents can disable 3D, preventing children from using it unless a passcode is provided. At a Nintendo World Store event near launch of the 3DS, Nintendo provided a warning saying that the 3DS's 3D mode should not be used by children six years and under. As a result, the employees at the event urged young children to play demos exclusively in 2D and even enforced this rule by having parents stick a special sticker featuring Toad on their children before allowing them to play. On February 8, 2017, almost a month before the Nintendo Switch was released on March 3 of that year, it was announced that Nintendo has no plans for a successor to the Nintendo 3DS.[24] On September 17, 2020, Nintendo announced that it would no longer produce Nintendo 3DS consoles, with the option to view the family of systems removed from the company's site in favor of the redirect to the main page.[20] The Nintendo 3DS sold 75.94 million units,[25] with 15 million in the first year.[26] On February 27, 2021, Nintendo announced that it would no longer repair Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL consoles after March 31, 2021. However, on March 10, 2021, repairs ended early in Japan due to a shortage of parts.[27] Super Mario–related featuresStreetPass and SpotPassStreetPass allows the console to wirelessly send and receive title data with other consoles within a certain range when it is in sleep mode. Up to twelve titles can have StreetPass activated at once. A notification light on the 3DS turns green to indicate when StreetPass data has been exchanged. The StreetPass Relay update allows for StreetPass data to be exchanged near official Nintendo Zone hotspots. One 3DS can StreetPass the same spot or same other 3DS once every eight hours. SpotPass also allows data exchange, but differs from StreetPass in that it requires an Internet connection to be used. A notification light on the 3DS turns blue to indicate when such data has been downloaded. Super Mario games compatible with StreetPass
Language supportThe 3DS also features enhanced language accessibility. The system is the first Nintendo console to have Portuguese[A] and Russian system language settings and the first Nintendo handheld console to feature a Dutch setting. All these languages are included on the PAL version of the 3DS, and the Portuguese language is also included on the American version. Super Mario games also began being translated into these languages (except Brazilian Portuguese). These thirteen languages were available at launch:
Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and Korean languages were eventually added as languages after the system released in these regions in 2012. The 3DS is the first Nintendo system to be rated by PEGI and the ESRB (receiving a 7+ and E rating, respectively) due to the built-in games, including Face Raiders, AR Games, and StreetPass Mii Plaza containing 3D images which could cause damage to eyesight for anyone below the specified age groups. Step CounterThe Step Counter works by using the 3DS's motion sensor to count the player's steps when the 3DS is closed. Every 100 steps gives the player one Play Coin, which can be used in the AR Games, StreetPass Mii Plaza, and compatible games (e.g. Animal Crossing: New Leaf or Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS). Players can receive a maximum of ten Play Coins per day and can hold a maximum of 300 on the 3DS system. Additionally, every step is logged in the Activity Log. ThemesIn the version 9.0.0-20 update for the 3DS released on October 6, 2014, brand new themes were added onto the system for the users to customize their HOME menu. Users were given 5 starting themes, each a different color, with additional themes available for purchase in the new Theme Shop. Additionally, since another theme related update, users are able to set a "shuffle" like mode via Theme Settings where the user can set any themes into up to ten slots, so each theme is set to their HOME Menu to switch out every time they power on the 3DS, put it into sleep mode or open a 3DS applet. With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Nintendo 3DS in March 2023, it is no longer possible to buy themes, with only a limited number of free themes being available. Other themes can still be downloaded by those who purchased them when they were available. List of Super Mario themesThis section needs console improvement. Specifically:

GyroscopeNintendo 3DS has native support for gyroscope functionality, which is used in several Super Mario games, including:
MicrophoneAs with the Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS games can use the built-in microphone for various functions, including Mario Party: The Top 100 and WarioWare Gold. Hardware revisionsNintendo 3DS XLThe Nintendo 3DS XL (Nintendo 3DS LL in Japan and iQue 3DS XL in China), also known as simply the 3DS XL (3DS LL in Japan) is the second version of the Nintendo 3DS handheld. Similarly to the Nintendo DSi XL, the 3DS XL has larger screens: the upper measuring 124 mm (4.88 inches) and the lower measuring 106 mm (4.18 inches), both being 90% larger than the standard Nintendo 3DS screens, making it tied to the New Nintendo 3DS XL as the biggest screen on a Nintendo handheld so far. The resolution, however, is the same. The 3DS XL also has been given rounded corners and digital Nintendo 2DSThe Nintendo 2DS, also known as simply the 2DS, is the third version of the Nintendo 3DS handheld and is part of the Nintendo 3DS family.[31] Like the rest of the Nintendo 3DS models, it can play all Nintendo 3DS games and most Nintendo DS and DSi games; however, unlike the rest of the Nintendo 3DS models, it cannot display 3D images (hence the name), but is more sturdy, making the system suitable for younger children, and both screens are touch-sensitive without a hinge separating them, with the top screen protected by a layer of plastic,[32] while it features a tablet design rather than a clamshell design, making it the first handheld system since the original Game Boy Advance system to have a tablet design. The system's box includes a Nintendo 2DS, a Nintendo 2DS stylus, a Nintendo 3DS AC Adapter, and the six AR cards. It was released in North America, Europe, and Oceania on October 12th, 2013 at a price of $129.99 in the United States, €129.99 in Europe, and £129.99 in the United Kingdom in order to increase sales of upcoming 3DS games. The 2DS was released in Japan on February 27, 2016, at a cost of approximately ¥9,980. Other than the lack of a 3D screen, there are a few hardware nuances worth noting:
New Nintendo 3DS / New Nintendo 3DS XLThe New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL[33] (New Nintendo 3DS LL in Japan), also known as simply the New 3DS and New 3DS XL (New 3DS LL in Japan) announced on August 28, 2014, were the first hardware upgrades for the Nintendo 3DS line of systems, similar to the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL. They were released on October 11, 2014 in Japan,[34] on November 21, 2014 in Oceania,[10] and on February 13, 2015 in North America and Europe.[35] In North America, only the XL model was released at launch. The standard-sized model was released on September 25, 2015 in special bundles such as the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and Pokémon 20th Anniversary bundles. On January 6, 2015, selected European Club Nintendo owners were invited to buy New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition, a special pre-release bundle of New Nintendo 3DS, for €199.99, with orders shipped as early as January 7, 2015.[36] In addition to having a more powerful CPU, the New Nintendo 3DS features an improved 3D effect, using the system's gyroscope and cameras to track the location of the player's eyes to sustain the 3D effect. An NFC sensor is built-in under the bottom screen, allowing compatibility with the amiibo line of products without needing the stand peripheral. Two additional shoulder buttons ( The New Nintendo 3DS has increased RAM, which enables Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS to load faster and not reboot the system when it is closed, and also allows the player to access the Internet Browser and upload screenshots to Miiverse,[37] and for Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World to run at 60 FPS instead of 30 FPS. The Internet Browser also has improved performance[38] and is able to play HTML5 videos. Similar to the Game Boy Micro, the New Nintendo 3DS features removable back covers on the backs of the top and bottom screens, which can be replaced with custom covers purchased separately. These covers are only usable on the standard model. Japanese New Nintendo 3DS models have a web filter pre-activated which can only be removed by paying ¥30, but the preactivated filter is absent on non-Japanese models.[38] Certain titles, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, are exclusive to the New Nintendo 3DS systems, and are incompatible with any of the older models.[39] Such games will show a note about incompatibility if they are attempted to be launched on older Nintendo 3DS models. On July 14, 2017, the standard model was discontinued in Japan and Europe while the XL model remained in production in Europe until December 14, 2017 and in Japan until July 25, 2019. Exclusive Super Mario–related gamesNew Nintendo 2DS XLThe New Nintendo 2DS XL (New Nintendo 2DS LL in Japan), also known as simply the New 2DS XL (New 2DS LL in Japan) announced on April 27, 2017, is the fifth revision of the Nintendo 3DS family released in Oceania on June 15, 2017,[40] in Japan[41] and South Korea[42] on July 13, 2017, and in Europe and North America on July 28, 2017.[43][44] As the name implies, it shares the same clamshell design, size, and enhanced CPU capabilities as the New Nintendo 3DS XL. As with the Nintendo 2DS, it cannot display images in 3D. The New Nintendo 2DS XL also includes the Gameplay accessoriesStylus  From left to right, the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL styli
The Nintendo 3DS stylus differs significantly from the previous models. It is a single, metallic silver and black color, and extendable up to 100 mm (3.94 inches) for the user's comfort. The stylus is stored in a slot on the back of the 3DS. For the Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo 2DS, the stylus more resembles the original Nintendo DS stylus, being a single, solid color and removing the extension feature on the normal model. The stylus for these versions is stored on the side of the handheld, similar to the Nintendo DS Lite/DSi. Circle Pad ProThe Circle Pad Pro is an extra accessory marketed as enhancing 3DS gameplay controls. As the name implies, it has an extra The Nintendo 3DS XL has also been given a Circle Pad Pro add-on, which functions identically to the normal version. Also like the normal version, the 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro is only available in Cosmos Black. The Circle Pad Pro is not available for the Nintendo 2DS. Mario Kart 7 wheelThe Mario Kart 7 wheel is a specially made wheel developed by peripheral manufacturer Hori[46] for the original Nintendo 3DS model. The product is marked with the Official Nintendo Seal and fits snugly onto the back of the console. Its function is identical to that of the Wii Wheel. Like the Circle Pad Pro, the Mario Kart 7 wheel is only available in Cosmos Black. amiibo
amiibo are a series of toys-to-life accessories by Nintendo that can be scanned into games using near-field communication technology to add content into games. Originally released for the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS systems later received amiibo compatibility. Compatibility with original Nintendo 3DS systems require an NFC Reader/Writer that wirelessly transfers data via infrared communication, the accessory was released on July 30, 2015 in Japan[47] and Fall 2015 in other regions[48]. New Nintendo 3DS systems feature a built-in near field communicator, activated by placing an amiibo on the Touch Screen. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is the first game on the system to incorporate this feature. Thirteen games in the Super Mario franchise on Nintendo 3DS were released with amiibo support. SD cardSD cards are industry standardized storage cards supported on the Nintendo 3DS. On Nintendo 3DS, a non-standard measurement unit called a "block" is used for storage capacity: One block is 128 KB, the same as on Wii and Nintendo DSi. The Nintendo 3DS relies almost entirely on an SD card for storage. If the 3DS cannot find an SD card (whether it is missing, ejected when the system is on, write-protected, or broken), no downloaded 3DS games or software (including Virtual Console), system themes except the default white, or DSiWare games that have not been moved to "System Storage" can be used. All versions of the Nintendo 3DS are pre-packaged with a 4 GB SDHC card (equivalent to approximately 32,000 blocks) in their SD card slots, natively support cards up to 32 GB, and unofficially support cards larger than 32 GB (SDXC) if the cards have been re-formatted from exFAT to FAT32. The Data Management settings has a counter cap at 999,999 blocks, just under 128 GB. Starting with the Nintendo eShop release of New Super Mario Bros. 2 in July 2012, downloadable software became much larger than what had previously been on Nintendo consoles due to larger-scale games also being made available digitally. New Super Mario Bros. 2 requires 2,727 blocks (349.0 MB) and later games would occasionally require substantially more, including WarioWare Gold, which requires 9,800 blocks (1.25 GB).  A few features that do not rely on an SD card can still be used without one: Physical cartridges, Miis, built-in system apps, and DSiWare games that have been set to be stored in "System Storage" (which has 1,056 blocks, equivalent to 135.1 MB, reserved for DSiWare). Nintendo 3DS has a full-size SD card slot that is also compatible with adapters for miniSD and microSD. New Nintendo 3DS replaced the full-size SD card slot with a microSD slot, still with an official limit of 32 GB. Super Mario–related softwareSystems in the Nintendo 3DS family feature a variety of software. Despite the stereoscopic 3D display being a major feature of the systems (with the exceptions of the Nintendo 2DS and New Nintendo 2DS XL), select software designed for these systems cannot be displayed in 3D at all, including:
Nintendo 3DS Sound  Nintendo 3DS Sound works similarly to the function previously seen on the Nintendo DSi. Players can record sounds with a duration of ten seconds and store them in the console or on an SD card. The user can also add music into the SD card and, unlike in Nintendo DSi Sound, the music can be in either MP3 or AAC format. A limit of one hundred music files can be stored in the default folder as well as in any additional folders, though there is no limit to the number of folders that can be created so long as there is enough memory on the SD card. In addition, any recorded sound less than five seconds in length can be attached to a Swapnote. While listening to a music file, the user can play sound effects with the
Mii Maker  The Mii Channel on the Wii makes a return with minimal changes as Mii Maker. However, there is a new feature in which the 3DS camera takes a photo of the player and converts it to make the photo look like a Mii. This feature is not automatic. Players must select the Mii's gender, hair color, and eye color before being prompted to take a picture of either themselves or another person.[49] Players are then able to leave the Mii as it is or to make any modifications they may deem necessary with new customization options (hairstyles, eye shapes, etc.). Players can also connect to their Mii Channel and import any Miis found there to the 3DS. To connect the Mii Maker to the Wii, the player must press the
StreetPass Mii Plaza
  One of the most notable features of the 3DS, it allows players to create a profile represented by a Mii. When the player closes their 3DS system at any time, even when the StreetPass Mii Plaza is not open, walking past someone else who also has their 3DS closed (and StreetPass activated) enables each of the profile Miis to appear in both of their Mii Plazas. Fourteen games can be played in the Plaza: Puzzle Swap, Find Mii (StreetPass Quest in British English), Find Mii II (StreetPass Quest II in British English), Monster Manor (StreetPass Mansion in British English), Warrior's Way (StreetPass Battle in British English), Mii Force (StreetPass Squad in British English), Flower Town (StreetPass Garden in British English), Ultimate Angler (StreetPass Fishing in British English), Battleground Z (StreetPass Zombies in British English), Market Crashers (StreetPass Trader in British English), Slot Car Rivals (StreetPass Slot Racer in British English), Feed Mii (StreetPass Chef in British English), Ninja Launcher (StreetPass Ninja in British English) and Mii Trek (StreetPass Explorers in British English). The three former games are immediately available when a user buys a Nintendo 3DS, but the rest cost an additional $5.00 (€4.99) apiece. They could also be bought all at once for $15.00 (€14.99). With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Nintendo 3DS in March 2023, it is no longer possible to buy the downloadable games, though they can still be downloaded by those who purchased them when they were available. In Find Mii and Find Mii II, Miis are utilized to fight their way through several enemy-filled rooms. Super Mario-themed accessories such as character caps can be obtained and later be used to dress up the Miis. When another 3DS is detected, its profile Mii will join in on the game. In Puzzle Swap, players exchange pieces of various different Nintendo-themed puzzles in order to complete them and unlock three-dimensional images. AR Games
  The Nintendo 3DS supports augmented reality games through the built-in application AR Games. The system is released with a total of six AR Cards that are used primarily in this feature, having a minor role in Mario Party: Island Tour, among other games. In Nintendogs + Cats, using the Mario AR Card enables the player's pets to wear Super Mario-themed hats. The ? Block card can be used to play games, while the five Character Cards included can be used to take 2D or 3D photos. The 3DS camera is required to play the games, as it must be aimed at the AR Card at all times to read it. Upon reading the ? Block card, a menu of games appears, including Archery (Shooting in British English), which uses the aiming reticule that is used to open the AR Games, AR Shot, in which the player uses a snooker stick to hit a ball onto a teleporter, Mii Pics, in which the player can take a picture of their Mii, Star Pics, which is the same as Mii Pics, but the player uses one or more of the Character Cards, Graffiti, a drawing apparatus, and Fishing, in which the player uses a fishing line to catch fish. There is also a shop which is unlocked after playing any three of the games, in which the player can buy new features and games using Play Coins. Nintendo eShop
  The Nintendo eShop (initially called Nintendo 3DS Shop) is a feature that allowed players to buy software titles, including Virtual Console and DSiWare for their Nintendo 3DS with Nintendo 3DS prepaid cards or credit cards. It also allowed Game Promotion. The eShop is similar to Wii Shop Channel and was released with a firmware update on the evening of June 6th, 2011 in North America and on June 7th in other regions, along with the Internet Browser. At GDC 2011, it was also announced that "3D Classics" would be made available for download in addition to the regular titles (Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and NES titles). These games, while 3D-compatible, retain their original graphical styles. Other than purchasing content, users could view information on current and upcoming 3DS titles (most notably through monthly episodes of Nintendo Show 3D, which provides footage of and commentary on popular or notable releases) as well as the Staff Pick of the Week (a Virtual Console or DSiWare title). Continuing a practice established on the Nintendo DSi, content purchased from the eShop is transported to the 3DS Menu in the form of a gift that must be unwrapped before use. In addition, users were able to purchase downloadable content (DLC) for their existing games. After the December 9, 2013 update, a Nintendo Network ID was required to download free and demo software from the Nintendo 3DS eShop. In addition, the player could link their Wii U Nintendo Network ID to their 3DS and vice versa to combine eShop funds on both systems into one. With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Nintendo 3DS in March 2023, it is no longer possible to digitally buy software and DLC, though software and DLC can still be downloaded by those who purchased them when they were available. The Nintendo Network shut down in April 2024. Friend List From the Friend List, players can see their own friend codes and manage the register of other Nintendo 3DS owners they have added as friends. If their friends have the wireless feature of their consoles turned on, users can see the last game they were playing or the last application they were using. If friends play a game that has online capability, such as Mario Kart 7, and users own the same game, then users can join that game and play alongside their friends. Internet Browser  The Internet Browser is the system's built-in successor to the Nintendo DSi Browser. It has a self-explanatory purpose of allowing the user to browse the internet from their Nintendo 3DS. There is a Super Mario-themed Easter egg that can be accessed when opening a new page: if the player taps to the rhythm of the first six notes of "Ground BGM" on the touch screen, "Most Visited Bookmarks" will change into "STAGE SELECT". Miiverse
  Implemented during the update on December 9, 2013 (PST), Miiverse was a social network based around Nintendo Network allowing users to post and share information with each other on games or other software. Originally only on the Wii U, a Nintendo Network ID was required in order to fully use Miiverse; this could be done by either linking a Wii U ID to the 3DS, or by creating a new one if the user does not have one. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS was the only Super Mario-related 3DS title that had full Miiverse integration, having the functionality of posting in-game photos. On November 7, 2017, at 10:00pm, Pacific Time, Miiverse was discontinued. Downloadable softwareSwapnote  Swapnote (called Nintendo Letter Box in British English) is a free, downloadable messaging service that allows users to write notes (up to four pages) via the stylus and send them by StreetPass (and previously by SpotPass) to people registered in their Friend Lists (in the case of StreetPass, notes can be given to people who may not be on said list). Users can reply to each note once, and replies are restricted to one page. As users send notes to their friends, they gain access to a variety of features, including the ability to attach photos stored in an SD card, to create messages and art displayed in full 3D, to change the stationery on which notes are written, to view notes in a slide show format, and (using 15 Play Coins) to attach sound recordings from the Nintendo 3DS Sound application. The software can store a combined maximum of 3,000 notes and replies, and each note can have a maximum of 100 replies attached to it, with new notes/replies replacing old ones once this limit is reached (notes given "Favorite" status are not deleted, though replies are). An update for this software was released on July 5, 2012[50] in Japan, Europe, and Oceania which adds the feature to change the ink's colors by pressing A sequel released on November 17, 2016 known as Swapdoodle retains similar elements from Swapnote (except photo and sound attachments) with new features. There are now Doodle Lessons for players where they can practice drawing, along with stamps and secret pages. The application is free-to-start with in-game purchases. Super Mario–themed stationeryOccasionally, in the wake of an important event, such as a Nintendo Direct broadcast or a game release, special notes were sent via SpotPass by Nintendo employees. Here is some of the Super Mario–themed stationery:
Photos with Mario
  Photos with Mario (known as いっしょにフォト スーパーマリオ Issho ni foto sūpāmario, Photo Together with Super Mario in Japanese) is a photography application compatible with special Super Mario-themed AR cards, developed by the same teams behind Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D Land. The application and first cards were released in Japan on April 23, 2013, and the other cards were released on June 29; in North America, the application and cards were released on May 18, 2014. This application allows the player to scan a compatible eShop gift card that has Mario, Princess Peach, or Goomba on it and the player can take photos and watch the characters interact with each other. Nintendo Badge Arcade
  Nintendo Badge Arcade is a free-to-start application available from the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS. The game involves collecting badges in various Nintendo-themed crane-game minigames, which can be used to customize the 3DS HOME Menu. It was first released in December 2014 in Japan, and later in November of 2015 in Western regions. Appearances in the Super Mario franchiseMario & Luigi: Dream TeamIn Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, a large Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS system appears on the desk of the castle-info kiosk in Pi'illo Castle. It cannot be interacted with. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical FreezeIn Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Donkey Kong may pick up a Nintendo 3DS system and play it for a short while if the player leaves him idle. In Funky Mode of the game's Nintendo Switch port, this is replaced by Donkey Kong playing a Nintendo Switch. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions The Little Fungitown arcade counter In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, a box for a Pokémon special edition Sun & Moon Light Blue Nintendo 2DS appears as a prize in the counter of the Little Fungitown arcade. Additionally, an Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS is used by Lady Lima to receive Bowletta's message, replacing the Game Boy Advance from the original game. WarioWare GoldThe Nintendo 3DS family of systems appears frequently in WarioWare Gold, in a number of different roles. As the game's story is about the player playing microgames, cutscenes have Wario, Mike, and Fronk explain the game's control schemes using a Metallic Blue New Nintendo 3DS XL. Ralphie owns an Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS. This system is a key item in 18-Volt's stage, as 13-Amp steals it from Ralphie and 18-Volt has to defeat her in a rap battle to get it back for him. In the credits, 13-Amp holds a Nintendo 3DS of this color. The microgame Stylus Hunt has players rotate a three-dimensional model of a Nintendo 3DS system displayed on the Touch Screen using Touch inputs to find its stylus. The microgame uses one of six different systems in a number of different colors: a Nintendo 3DS in blue or pink, a Nintendo 3DS XL in red or yellow-green, a Nintendo 2DS in pink or blue, a black New Nintendo 3DS, a Metallic Blue New Nintendo 3DS XL, and a Black + Turquoise New Nintendo 2DS XL. Part of the microgame's difficulty is remembering where the stylus is stored on each system, which is eased slightly because the stylus glows red or white. Additionally, the microgame amiibo Tap has the player scan an amiibo on a Metallic Blue New Nintendo 3DS XL. An Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS, a red Nintendo 3DS XL, a blue Nintendo 2DS, a black New Nintendo 3DS, a Metallic Blue New Nintendo 3DS XL, and a Black + Turquoise New Nintendo 2DS XL are souvenirs that can be obtained in the Capsule Machine. Each one can be rotated around freely just like in the microgame. The face buttons, Circle Pad, and D-Pad swell and shrink when tapped. When their Power buttons are pressed, the systems turn on and start a mode where the player plays three microgames on loop, only that they are controlled by tapping their In the Challenge mode Sneaky Gamer, 9-Volt plays a game consisting of microgames on a blue Nintendo 2DS, replacing the Wii U Gamepad like device in the mode's previous iteration as the minigame Gamer from Game & Wario. In the description of Stylus Hunt 9-Volt further states, as per his character's concept of owning everything Nintendo has ever produced, that he owns one of each of the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. 9-Volt is holding an Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS in the prologue cutscene. All of the minigames in WarioWare Gold are depicted as Game Cards for fictitious games. The cards are stylized, as they only show artwork for the game rather than including a logo over artwork. The minigame Autograph! sometimes has characters ask the player to sign the outer shell of a fictional green game system. It appears similar to a New Nintendo 3DS, but it has three outer cameras instead of two. The device Wario plays games with in the prologue is a fictional yellow game system. It appears to be similar to the Nintendo 3DS family of systems but it does not have cameras. Super Mario gamesPhysical and digital games20112012
