Malboros are mutated plant monsters from the Final Fantasy games. They have made a crossover appearance in Mario Hoops 3-on-3, as the signature feature of the Malboro Garden court. Here, there are two Malboros, one on each side, who have a basketball hoop attached to their head, in which the basketball must go into, similar to Petey Piranha in the Daisy Garden court.
