==Opening cutscene==
[[File:Mpt intro 1.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario and Luigi celebrating their win against Wario and Waluigi]]
The game's opening begins with [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] playing a match against [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]]. The Mario Bros. win the match and celebrate as Wario and Waluigi complain about their loss. Bowser is seen surveying the match through hidden cameras. The next day, Wario and Waluigi see a picture of Mario and Luigi on the "Peach Dome Tournament" board and are angry to see that their opponents have knocked them out of the running. Wario and Waluigi vandalize the picture of Mario and Luigi, but the [[police]] pursues to arrest them. Wario and Waluigi escape into a janitor's closet, but they fall into what appears to be a training room. [[Bowser]] approaches them and offers an alliance to get revenge against the Mario Bros. After hours of training and seeing others playing their tennis matches, they carry out a plan to attack the final tournament match later that evening at the Peach Dome.


As Mario and Luigi are about to play the final match of the tournament against [[Yoshi]] and [[Donkey Kong]], Bowser shows up on an airship-shaped blimp and rigs the tournament so that Wario and Waluigi can have their rematch with the Mario Bros., shocking the tournament hosts, [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toadsworth]]. Everyone gets angry at Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser wanting them to leave, but Wario and Waluigi silence them by setting up a machine that fires [[Bob-omb]]s at the Mario Bros. Bowser, in the meantime, throws Bob-ombs at them. However, Mario and Luigi deflect the incoming Bob-ombs back at them with their tennis rackets. Other characters, such as Diddy Kong and Koopa Troopa, are briefly seen helping the Mario Bros. fend off the Bob-ombs as the spectators evacuate from the stadium, running and screaming for their lives. As a last resort, Bowser launches a [[Bullet Bill]] from his blimp at them, and Mario knocks it back with his racket, which fires back and hits Wario's Bob-omb launcher. Waluigi is about to retrieve the launcher, but Wario falls and crushes him. The launcher, flipped from the explosion, accidentally fires a Bob-omb at Bowser's blimp, destroying it and revealing Bowser's stock of Bob-ombs below his blimp, shocking Peach, Toadsworth, Mario, and Luigi.

Bowser's blimp starts to descend out of control and falls toward Wario and Waluigi. Wario and Waluigi attempt to escape, but Bowser crashes to them with the Bob-ombs onboard, causing them to blow up on impact, creating a large explosion.

Afterwards, the trio falls unconscious after the blast, and their plan to attack Mario and his friends has completely failed, despite the damage they have done to the stadium. Mario and Luigi are relieved and unharmed, and Mario breaks the [[fourth wall]] by saying "Mama-mia" at the camera before the scene ends.

The player pits against simultaneous matches against computer opponents to win the trophy in a cup. The higher the cup level, the harder the computers will get. Once a character has completed Star Cup, the character receives a star ranking, strengthening hitting the ball. This rank also allows the character to participate in the Star Tournament, where the opponents also have the star ranking and are generally more difficult. The player can also participate in a Gimmick Tournament, which, as the name implies, enables the player to participate in Gimmick matches in courts against the computer. Although a Doubles Tournament is available, only one player can participate, forcing the player to be paired with an AI-controlled partner of their choice. Additionally, completing the World Open in Doubles does not grant the character a star ranking, so players must complete the Singles tournaments first to participate in Doubles Star Tournament.

[[File:Mariopowertennis newplaycontrolbox.jpg|thumb|Box art of the Wii "''New Play Control!''" version for ''Mario Power Tennis''.]]
For the Wii version of ''Mario Power Tennis'' (via the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' lineup), the game makes use of the Wii's motion controls instead of the Nintendo GameCube controller (which this specified version cannot be played using the latter). This version includes a tutorial movie to demonstrate how to use the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] in this game. It is also possible to play this game in 16:9 widescreen mode. Players can choose to play with the Wii Remote only, or with the Wii Remote/[[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] combination for advanced control of playable character participants. It also adds a new gauge pointing out the current Power Shot energy charge shown below character icons during matches.

===Walpeach===
<!--Please do not change the spelling to "Wapeach." The character's creator, Fumihide Aoki, consistently spelled it as "Walpeach," making that the proper spelling.-->
After the idea of a Walpeach was [[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)#Pre-release and unused content|discarded]] for ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'', the concept was revisited by Fumihide Aoki for this game. Some concept art, where she is labeled as both「ワルピーチ」(''Warupīchi'') (Walpeach) and「プリーチ」(''Purīchi'') (Preach or Priech), and a model were made depicting a young Peach-like character wearing a purple outfit (that would have been recolored had the character been accepted) with a pointy crown, but the idea was ultimately rejected once again as there were no characters to pair with her. Fumihide also stated that she was designed with the intention of "defying everyone's expectations in a good way," mentioning she would have a cute but scary personality when angry, see Peach as her rival, and be the descendant of a fallen royal family. She would act as a boss to Wario and Waluigi, as a tribute to the Dorombo gang from {{wp|Yatterman}}, and according to Fumihide Aoki, she would have most likely taken [[Bowser]]'s role in the game's animated intro if she was approved. Additionally, like Wario's association with garlic, she would have been associated with cherry tomatoes. He also stated that he had an idea for a Yoshi-based sidekick for her resembling a dragon with horns and wings.<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/GenesisJam_/status/1730803149915472217|title=every<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> bit about her as of right now<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> key points being she’s a little punk child of fallen royal descent that bosses wario n<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> waluigi around and might be?? an alien? and cherry tomatoes are her trademark food. i<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> welcome this lil misfit :-)))|publisher=X|accessdate=May 14, 2024}}</ref>

*'''Petey Piranha:''' Mario presents the trophy to Petey Piranha while Peach, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, and Purple Toad are present as well. Petey then begins to jump in place excitedly, shaking the podium. After he takes the trophy, Petey jumps into the air. Mario, Peach, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy and Purple Toad brace for impact, but when nothing happens, they look up and see Petey flying, whilst clutching the trophy in his mouth.

*'''Wiggler:''' Luigi and Diddy Kong give Wiggler the trophy, but Diddy Kong accidentally rolls a tennis ball, causing Wiggler to slip on it and drop the trophy. Luigi and Diddy Kong become anxious, knowing Wiggler will become angry, but he calms down when he sees his trophy. Luigi checks up on him, but Diddy Kong loses his footing from the tennis ball, bumps into Luigi, and they both land on Wiggler and knock the trophy away. Wiggler becomes angry and then chases Diddy Kong and Luigi, who flee in fear.

===Offensive Power Shot Immunity===

[[File:Glitch Mario's Offensive Power Shot - MPT.png|thumb|Mario not being pushed back as a result of the immunity glitch]]
Mario or Luigi rebounding an [[Offensive Power Shot]] with their Offensive Power Shot may not push them back or reverse their controls. However, Mario or Luigi still slow down from Offensive Power Shots such as Petey Piranha's [[Sludge Racket]].

{{br}}
===Incorrect Wario Audio===
Occasionally, when a player-controlled Wario uses his Offensive Power Shot, Wario will begin saying his Defensive Power Shot Audio instead of his Offensive Power Shot Audio. The {{conjectural|Incorrect Wario Audio}} glitch has only been found on the Wii Version.
 
===Inappropriate Match Animations===
If a player or team earns the required amount of rings during a ring match before the opponent or the opponent's team does, but misses the ball or hits it out, it triggers their losing animation as though the player or team lost the match, while the opponent player acts as if the match is won. In the results screen, however, the animation and results are correct, meaning the {{conjectural|Inappropriate Match Animations}} glitch does not prevent a recorded win.
 
===Banana glitch===
This glitch requires good timing. In item battle mode, the server must hit the ball and activate the "fault" message. The opponent must have a banana item and after the "fault" message is activated, they must hit the ball while making sure it doesn't touch the ground before the ball is back to the server. If done correctly, the banana will still be seen on the ball with the server. However, it behaves normally.
