These panels do not appear in [[Dark Land]]; however, in the post-game of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the player's score is still tracked in World 8 for the purposes of this panel, and if Mario or Luigi returns to one of the other seven worlds, it is possible to make multiple N-Mark Spade Panels appear in the same world each time he leaves a [[level]].

When drawn into an N-Mark Spade Panel, the player must play a card game hosted by a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] titled the '''Matching Game'''.<ref>NES Game Atlas Nintendo Player's Guide, page 41.</ref> The goal is to flip over two cards, each depicting an item, every turn to try to match a pair. For each card pair successfully matched, the player wins that prize for their inventory, for a total of nine prizes per game. If the player mismatches twice, the [[minigame]] ends. Once all of the card pairs have been matched, the cards reset the next time around. Even if the player is unsuccessful at matching every card pair, the ones that they did match remain flipped over the next time they play the minigame.
