Mode 3 is a background mode that supports many colors, often seen in title screens.[2] In this mode, BG1 supports Direct Color, but BG2 does not.[1] The horizontal resolution is 256 dots. Mode 3 has the highest number of bits per pixel (12) out of all the background modes with max layers enabled.
Background tiles may be 8 by 8 pixels or 16 by 16 pixels in Mode 3.[1]
NBA All-Star Challenge uses Mode 3 for gameplay.
Offset Change Mode is unsupported even though Layer 3 is unavailable, perhaps because that would take up too much PPU time.
