Gameplay

Betting 3 coins, Luigi serves a group of 8 cards upside down, and the player must match them up with their twins. The symbols on Luigi's cards can be a Cloud, a Mushroom, a Fire Flower, or a Star. By completing a challenge successfully, the player gains a double number of coins bet and receives a Star as a point. Earning 5 Stars makes Luigi serve 12 cards, adding a pair of Mario and Luigi cards. Earning 10 Stars makes him serve 16 cards, adding the Goomba and Bowser cards, and earning 15 Stars or more makes him serve 20 cards, adding the Boo and Yoshi cards. If the player taps two different cards, a coin is given to Luigi from the bet number, causing the likely loss of a Star if Luigi takes all these coins. If the player loses all of the money to bet, the minigame ends.

In multiplayer, there are 20 cards. The player who goes first is chosen randomly. The players go in order. If the cards a player taps match, the player earns two points and gets to go again until they are wrong. Once all the cards are gone, the player with the most points wins.
