A set of four sports items in which the player plays the characters known from Nintendo games. The creators prepared four team disciplines - volleyball, basketball, ice hockey and a popular, especially in primary schools, dodgeball.

Mario Sports Mix is a sports compilation where players take control of Nintendo's game heroes and compete in four team disciplines for the Mushroom Kingdom championship. The production was developed in a very dexterity style, reminiscent of other sports games named after the most famous character created by Shigeru Miyamoto.

In Mario Sports Mix, creators served players four team sports - volleyball, basketball, ice hockey and the popular, especially in primary schools, dodgeball. However, the game abandoned the hard adherence to the established rules, deciding to introduce a number of modifications to diversify the gameplay and make it more arcade.

A player fighting against an opposing team gains not only points in Mario Sports Mix, but also various bonuses, which can be used to increase his skills/opportunities for a short time (magic beats, shots, etc.), or to prevent a rival from carrying out a successful action. In addition, each of the heroes in the game has one special ability, assigned only to him. In most cases they are offensive.

Individual matches are played not only on standard pitches, characteristic for a given sport, but also in special places. Some of them, e.g. lean left to right, resulting in loss of balance by players and unpredictable behaviour of the ball/circle, while others are equipped with randomly appearing fields causing both positive and negative effects (e.g. multiplier of points or temporary loss of consciousness).

As part of this production there was also a multiplayer mode. It allows three players to compete in one team, as well as to play matches between two two-person teams.
