-'''Cactuars''' are enemies in the [[Square Enix]] ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'' series. However, a Cactuar appears as a playable character in the game ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''.

+'''Cactuars''' are enemies in [[Square Enix]]'s ''{{fandom|finalfantasy|Final Fantasy series|Final Fantasy}}'' series, appearing as a combination of cacti and ''{{wp|haniwa}}'' sculptures. Cactuars have made a few crossover appearances with the ''Super Mario'' franchise alongside other ''Final Fantasy'' characters in various sports games, where they have a unique design with segmented limbs.
-In ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', Cactuar is unlocked by first unlocking [[Glare Desert]], the final court in Star Cup. Then the player must play the court in exhibition mode. A green lump in the ground will eventually appear. The player has to dribble the ball over the bump a few times, and Cactuar will pop out of the sand and run away. Afterwards, the player has to win the exhibition match, and when this is done, Cactuar is unlocked as a playable character.
+==History==
+===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
+A Cactuar made its first crossover appearance with the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise in the game ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' as a playable character. Other ''Final Fantasy'' characters in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' are [[Ninja (character)|Ninja]], [[Black Mage]], [[White Mage]], and [[Moogle]]. Here, Cactuar is unlocked by first unlocking [[Glare Desert]], the fourth (and final) court in Star Cup. Then the player must play the court in exhibition mode. Cactuar's head will appear buried in the ground once the player scores 100 points during the match. The player has to dribble the ball over him a few times. Some times he'll shift around the court if the player isn't quick enough, making it a bit difficult to catch him. He'll also disappear for the current round if left alone too long, and will return next round once either team scores a point. When dribbled enough times on his head, Cactuar will pop out of the sand (and hurt the player or AI if they are in his hit box) and run away. Afterwards, the player has to win the exhibition match to trigger Cactuar running across the player's victory screen. When all requirements are met, Cactuar is unlocked as a playable character.
+When controlled by the AI on the opposite team, Cactuar's behavior will sometimes run around the player a few times before attempting to steal the ball from them.
 More Cactuars can be seen in Glare Desert as spectators, and in the game's ending credits, there is a brief scene with six Cactuars and a watermelon-patterned basketball on [[Sunset Beach]].
+===''Mario Sports Mix''===
 Cactuar, along with the other ''Final Fantasy'' characters, returned in the game ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. Here, it is the only character to have a stat amount over the max of 5 (indicated by a red bar instead of a yellow bar). Cactuar is unlocked by winning 60 games or beating it on a secret route of the Star Cup (to reach Cactuar, the player must mostly follow the same route to unlock She-Slime, but in order to unlock Cactuar, the player must be on the left side). It has the highest speed stat (depicted by a red stat bar), but its other stats are at their lowest level. However, Cactuar's high speed comes with a high drawback in that it ends up skidding whenever it has to quickly change direction. When Cactuar makes a special move, it will send spikes all over everybody (sometimes including its own teammate(s)) making them shocked and unable to move.

-==Trivia==
+==External links==
-*Cactuars are often depicted having stiff arms and legs. However, this Cactuar has segmented limbs, making it more flexible than the others; this makes it possible for Cactuar to play sports to begin with.
+*{{fandom|finalfantasy|Cactuar|Cactuar on the Final Fantasy Wiki}}
-*1000 Needles is an attack that Cactuars often use in the ''Final Fantasy'' series. The attack is unique in that it will always deduct 1000 HP, regardless of the target's defenses. However, in some games, the move merely cuts the target's HP in half; Ex.: ''Chocobo's Dungeon''.
