I can not beat Mario Peach and Bowsers team in the Rainbow cup on hard difficulty but using this cheat means three powerfuls players you don't have to beat. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best teams are:

Luigi, Ninja, Mario

Mario, Luigi, Paratroopa

Ninja, Luigi, Paratroopa

Ninja, Diddy Kong, Paratroopa

Wario, Boo, Dixie Kong

Mario, Luigi, Waluigi

Ninja, Boo, Fly Guy

PS: You have to put them in the basket in THE APPROPRIATED ORDER I have listed them.


3 pointer.

You know that you can get 40 or 20,but want to get 30? Well that what I am telling you that you can shoot from the half court or farther or little bit away from the 3-point line[it counts as 20 when your red or blue circle is past the 3 point line]. That's how you get 30 points.


Who is the best to play against tyhe dark wiz light wiz and ninj

Mario,paratroopa, diddy kong cause the speed,trick, and all round is great for hard battles!


My awesome team

My team is the cactus person, ninja, and bowser.
