NBA Street V3 for GameCube includes iconic Nintendo characters Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach as the Nintendo All-Stars. This collaboration stems from a partnership between EA and Nintendo, allowing the integration of Nintendo's properties into select titles. The GameCube version also introduces the Nintendo Court, a basketball venue inspired by the Mario franchise.
The GameCube version features Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach as playable characters, collectively known in-game as the `Nintendo All-Stars`. This is in response to a deal between EA and Nintendo in which EA would include Nintendo characters and properties in a few of their games; another game to take advantage of this was SSX Tour. A basketball court based on the Mario franchise, named the Nintendo Court, is also featured in the GameCube version.
