'''''Mario Tennis: Power Tour''''', known in Europe as '''''Mario Power Tennis''''', is the fourth direct installment in the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'' series]], and the [[Game Boy Advance]] counterpart of ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. This would ultimately be the final ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' release for the Game Boy Advance. It is very similar to ''[[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Mario Tennis]]'' on [[Game Boy Color]] in gameplay and plot, though it has the addition of [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Power Shot]]s. Although it is the counterpart of ''Mario Power Tennis'', the two games cannot be connected in any way. The game was released on the [[Happy! Mario 20th|20th anniversary]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in Japan, and was released in anglophone regions shortly afterward.

The game is compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance#Wireless Adapter|Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]]. The game was rereleased for the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in Japan in April 2014, in Europe and Australia in June 2014, and in North America in July 2014.
==Plot==
The player, either [[Clay]] or [[Ace]], is a student in the [[Royal Tennis Academy]]. During this time, masked challengers come to the academy and defeat the academy's champions, leaving everyone in disbelief as they have never lost before. Determined to find out who they are, Clay or Ace become a part of the Junior class, where they defeat everyone in it. They continue on to the Senior classes, and then to Varsity, where they learn that the top two ranking players or teams get to advance to the Island Open, where they would play against top students from the other three tennis schools.

Clay/Ace soon ensure their entry to the Island Open. They hear a rumor that the victors of the Open would get a chance to play against [[Mario]]. During the time at the Open, the player may wish to travel between the Academy and the area of the Open at any time. After winning the Open, Clay and Ace realize that they still have not discovered who the masked players are. However, the very next day Mario comes to the Academy, and gives Clay/Ace the honor of playing with them. Thus begins the [[Peach Tournament]], with Clay/Ace as players. In doubles, both are a team. Clay and Ace travel to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] by the [[Toad Express]], where the games are being held in the [[Peach Dome]], owned by [[Princess Peach]]. During their stay, Clay/Ace are told that it is Mario and company that were the masked players in the academy, and that it is also them that introduced the concept of [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|power shot]]s to [[Earth]]. [[Pianta]]s, [[Toad (species)|Toads]], and [[Noki]]s are present at the dome as part of the audience. Beating the game will unlock technical difficulty, which increases the skill level of the characters in story mode. Beating this mode will reward the player with a screen with all the characters Ace or Clay beat in their journey.

===Playable characters===
[[File:MTPT character select.png|thumb|The character select screen]]
''Mario Tennis: Power Tour'' features 36 playable characters when excluding Clay and Ace (the largest number seen in any ''Mario Tennis'' game), although only six debuted in prior games, with the rest (barring the two playable characters Clay and Ace) being opponents in the game's story mode, all 30 of which have to be unlocked by the player. This also marks the only time [[Waluigi]] has appeared without [[Wario]] (although Wario's voice can be heard in the game's intro) and marks the only ''Mario Tennis'' game where [[Yoshi]] is not a playable character. All play styles return from ''Mario Power Tennis'', although the Tricky type has been renamed to the Tactical type. None of the unlockable characters debuted in prior games, although star versions of them can be unlocked. Playable characters are classed by play style, listed below.
*'''{{color link|limegreen|All-Around}}''' characters have well-rounded stats. They can fit in any position but they do not excel at any stat in particular.
*'''{{color link|goldenrod|Speedy}}''' characters have high agility and move around place to place quickly.
*'''{{color link|dodgerblue|Technique}}''' characters focus on accuracy and control.
*'''{{color link|darkorange|Defense}}''' characters have high reach that allow them to reach balls with greater ease.
*'''{{color link|crimson|Power}}''' characters emphasize on strong shots that can shoot balls at higher top speeds.
*'''{{color link|gray|Tactical}}''' characters excel at putting spin on the ball.

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
The game received generally positive reviews, receiving an average review score of 81 based on 21 reviews. {{wp|IGN}} gave the game a 90/100, praising its gameplay, story mode and adaption from its [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] predecessor, ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. IGN found that the problems from the GameCube game also carried over, such as the disruptive [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Power Shot]]s, and also criticized the recycled music and lack of connectivity to ''Mario Power Tennis''. The game was largely compared to and viewed as slightly inferior to ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]''.

|9/10
|''"Mario Tennis Power Tour does for tennis what Mario Golf Advance Tour did for its sport: It's the best representation of the sport on the handheld, and it offers up the same amount of depth and playability. Though I prefer the casual challenge of Mario Golf over this game, the fact remains that you won't find a better game of tennis on the handheld. Even without the RPG elements Mario Tennis Power Tour would have rocked our socks. But the extensive adventure mode really gives the portable experience far more legs than the console design."''

|8.2/10
|''"There is no doubt going to be a minor debate over which of the two games, Mario Tennis or Virtua Tennis, is better. Thanks to quality gameplay and Nintendo's rich stable of character designs, Mario Tennis goes toe-to-toe with Sega's game in every conceivable way. To discuss which is better is a moot point. Nintendo comes at you with familiar faces and more unique modes, while Sega's game counters with real tennis pros and slightly more accurate gameplay. Don't let its happy looks and age-appropriate gameplay fool you. Mario Tennis hits hard and fast."''

|4/5
|''"There are other nit-picky aspects to Power Tour, such as the use of ugly rendered models for all of the characters during actual tennis matches instead of the great 2D sprites featured in the academy portion of the game (when you're roaming around looking for your next match). This pre-rendered nonsense ultimately turns characters like Donkey Kong and Bowser into pixilated messes. You'll hardly notice the visual discrepancies when playing, but it's a bizarre choice that hopes to maintain the visual consistency between the console and handheld games that doesn't really work. In all other respects, Power Tour stands as a perfect example of how to bring a fleshed-out console sport onto a handheld, and all of the seemingly frivolous extras only help to enhance the experience when you're tired of battling the A.I. For Mario and arcade tennis fans alike, this is a must buy."''
