'''''Mario Tennis: Power Tour''''', known in European languages 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'' release for the Game Boy Advance. It is very similar to ''[[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Mario Tennis]]'' 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 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.

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.

*'''{{color|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|goldenrod|Speedy}}''' characters have high agility and move around place to place quickly.

*'''{{color|dodgerblue|Technique}}''' characters focus on accuracy and control.

*'''{{color|darkorange|Defense}}''' characters have high reach that allow them to reach balls with greater ease.

*'''{{color|crimson|Power}}''' characters emphasize on strong shots that can shoot balls at higher top speeds.

*'''{{color|gray|Tactical}}''' characters excel at putting spin on the ball.
