AR Games

AR Games (short for Augmented Reality Games) is a built-in software application on the Nintendo 3DS. It uses the six AR Cards bundled with the console in thirteen games that the player progressively unlocks. In addition to using the Mario Card, AR Games features various Mario characters and assets.

There are two games available from the start: Archery and Star Pics. The latter minigame shows 3D models of characters on top of their respective Character Cards, including Mario. The models can be manipulated, such as by changing their position, size, and pose, and then photographed.
