A Cactuar made its first crossover appearance with the ''[[Mario (franchise)|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. | 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]]. | 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]]. | ||
