North America

Oof, talk about covers that go hard. The North American design wastes no time showing us what this one is all about. We’ve got Mario dunking on DK, Luigi showing off some slick shell handles in the background, and… is that Peach with a bomb? All of that on a lush beach court. What’s not to like, eh?

Europe / Japan

The European and Japanese covers are a little more stripped back, by comparison, but there’s something eye-catching about their simplicity. A slightly different Mario dunking model still takes centre stage, though the NA court has been replaced by a block red background. Giant “M-A-R-I-O” letters adorn it, each containing a different Hoops character to flex the game’s roster.

Thank you for voting! We’ll see you next week for another edition of Box Art Brawl!
