Gameplay of Picture Poker against Luigi in New Super Mario Bros.

Picture Poker is a single-player minigame in Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros. In the former, it is classified as one of Luigi's minigames; in the latter, it is classified as a Table minigame.

Gameplay[edit]

This minigame is a casino-style card game in which the player automatically bets coins that their five-card hand beats Luigi's. After being dealt their hand, the player can bet more coins and/or have some or all of their cards replaced with random cards from the deck. Luigi then, if need be, replaces cards in his hand (which appear face down to the player) with random cards from the deck. The hands are then shown. If the player's hand is better, they win a set number of coins based on both the rank of their hand and the number of coins bet ranging from a Pair (2x) to Flush (or 5 of a kind) (16x). If Luigi's hand is better, the player simply loses the coins bet. In the rare occurrence that a draw happens, the player gets their coins back.

The player is awarded Stars with each victory and is deducted Stars (if they have any) with each loss. The minimum bet is determined by the number of Stars in the player's possession; the bet increases by one for every five Stars, with a maximum of four at 15 stars. If the player runs out of coins, the game is over and must be restarted.

If all opponents have the same hand, then these ranks determine who wins, in order from worst to best:Cloud, Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, Luigi, Mario, Super Star.

Multiplayer[edit]

The player can choose between three, five, or seven rounds. The player who goes first is chosen randomly. There is not any betting.

  • The winner (whose hand is the strongest) takes that many coins from the other players.
    • Flush/Five of a kind: 16 coins
    • Four of a kind: 8 coins
    • Full house: 6 coins
    • Three of a kind: 4 coins
    • Two pairs: 3 coins
    • One pair: 2 coins
    • With four players, the winner can receive up to 48 coins taken from other players, and for three players, it is 32. If none of the players have the above hands (Junk), then no coin exchanges occur.

In-game instructions[edit]

Get a better hand than Luigi to win! If you're confident that your hand's the best, increase the number of coins you bet!

Mario is the biggest selling video game franchise of all time. When he first appeared in Donkey Kong in 1981, Nintendo was sceptical about his success, but they soon realized they had a winning formula. It was just a year later that Donkey Kong Junior was released, and soon after that came Mario Bros. By the end of that decade, there were several new Mario games on the market and a variety of characters had been introduced, most of which are still in the games today.

Mario

Mario has also made a guest appearance in other games, such as Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, The Legend of Zelda, and NBA Street.

The Mario and Nintendo universe also moved away from console games and even made a film starring Bob Hoskins as Mario. In 2020 a theme park called Super Nintendo World will be opening in Japan, an idea that Universal Studios hope to import to their Hollywood and Orlando resorts.

There are educational Mario games and films, as well as ones relating to sport and the Olympic Games. There was also a shift to other devices, and now Mario games can be played online. Perhaps one some people would not expect to find in what is usually considered to be a game for children is the Mario and Nintendo poker games that are widely available.

1st Class Poker And BlackJack

If you were thinking of a game of poker you would be more likely to go to a casino or trawl the internet for a good site to try your hand at. Nintendo is not the first brand that springs to mind.

As the name suggests, you have the choice of playing either poker or blackjack, with a number of variations of them both. Choose poker and you will find options including Texas hold‘em and Omaha, as well as 5-card draw rules. Then you opt for which table you want to play, the higher buy-ins having larger pay-outs.

You could opt to play the videopoker mode, which has five options very similar to electronic poker machines. This option is also available for blackjack, which for beginners is a much easier game to master. These modes are a perfect way to get some practice before playing in full poker or blackjack games.

Each mode has a set of instructions and rules, but really the game needs an interesting visual tutorial, as not many players will want to sit and read through a large amount of text.

Super Mario Ds Poker

1st Class Poker and BlackJack has an impressive array of modes and a good variety of games, but some feel it is let down by a bland presentation. Overall, it is probably not the best poker game on the market, but it will provide hours of fun and is a good way to practice if you want to progress to online casinos.

Picture Poker

Picture Poker is generally a single player minigame. In Super Mario 64 DS it's classified as one of Mario’s brother, Luigi's minigames, and in New Super Mario Bros it is shown as a table minigame.

These casino-style games involve playing against Luigi and it's as simple as getting a better hand than him to win. The skill comes in knowing when to swap cards, and which ones to change. Different cards have varying values, and the higher your cards are, the more coins you will win. If you run out of coins, the game is lost and has to be restarted.

You can play multiplayer, and then the winning hand takes coins from everyone else at the table. There are maximums, though. For example, with four players, the most you can win is 48 coins.

Although you are not playing with real money, in some European countries, this game was given a higher age rating because of the gambling laws, and it was considered to be very close to playing a real game of poker.

Governor Of Poker

Mario

Governor Of Poker seems to be one of those games you either love or never play a second time. It's quite a long game where, after choosing a name and gender for yourself, you are placed in a town in Texas. You then have to play poker to win enough money to buy the buildings, and when you have them all you become the Governor of Texas.

When you start, there are NPCs to give you tips on how to play Texas hold‘em, which is the type of poker you will be playing. Part of the problem is that you have to go through these tips every time you start a new game. Once past them, Governor of Poker becomes a lot of fun as you work your way around the town, starting in the local saloon.

This is a simple, no-frills game that provides a really good playing experience. There are three skill levels to choose from, so as you become more experienced you can play harder games. Older versions were slower and less controllable, but the newer ones are much easier to play.

Other Poker Games

These are just three of the online or video poker and blackjack games that are worth a try to see if you enjoy them. There are many others, and most online casinos have free poker and blackjack games you can play to learn the rules and to practice. Which one you choose is usually down to the amount of instruction you want, the speed you want to play, and ultimately your personal preference.

Super Mario Ds Poker Games

However, if you have never played any of these games with real cards you may find them a bit confusing to start with. The one thing Picture Poker, Governor Of Poker, 1st Class Poker, and BlackJack have in common is they provide a good learning platform for beginners, while fun can be had at the same time.
