Cards are an item in Super Mario Bros. 3.
Description[]
A Card is acquired from a Goal whenever Mario or Luigi completes the level. A Card can depict either a Mushroom, a Fire Flower, or a Star, and a Goal rapidly flashes between these three types. The type of Card that Mario or Luigi receive is the one depicted when they touch it, also ending the level. Every three Cards that Mario or Luigi collect earns them a 1-Up, and they earn even more lives if the Cards depict the same item: two lives for Mushrooms, three lives for Fire Flowers, and five lives for Stars. Furthermore, obtaining three of the same Cards also triggers a brief fireworks-like display of the power-up depicted on the cards.
Any Card collected by Mario or Luigi is shown at the bottom-right corner of the HUD, each in a different slot. It resets whenever three Cards have been obtained.
In Super Mario Bros. 3[]
A Card can be collected at a Goal at the end of every level except airship, fortress, and castle levels. Cards also appear in the Battle Game, having a different role than in the main game itself.
