Official name and release date

According to this, the game's official name should be Mario Tennis Open and to be released in May 20th. Akfamilyhome 00:01, 14 February 2012 (EST)

Let it put this on hold out for now until, Nintendo themselves confirm this.

L151

Okay. Akfamilyhome 00:11, 14 February 2012 (EST) GameFly deleted the site. Maybe it's just a rumor... Akfamilyhome 08:00, 16 February 2012 (EST)

Mario Tennis Open is the official title!! [1][2] Nintendo Wii and EA 06:24, 22 February 2012 (EST)

So it's not a rumor. I wonder how GameFly got the info... Akfamilyhome 03:44, 23 February 2012 (EST)

First Mario Game to use Nintendo Network - MTO or MK7

Take a look at this link. Here it says, "As those of you who have enjoyed playing Mario Kart 7 that we launched late last year should know, its online competition mode includes the system called “Communities.” Each player can create his or her own online “Community” and decide the rules and conditions of the races to be conducted there, and anyone who enters the designated “Community number,” can join to enjoy the matches there. With that system, the company is offering a new kind of network service, which is different from the network services Nintendo has been offering under the name of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

For “Mario Kart 7,” we have already started using as the name of this new network service… …“Nintendo Network” Service" So should Mario Kart 7 be the first Mario game to use Nintendo Network? Please reply. Akfamilyhome 03:42, 23 February 2012 (EST)

Yes, Mario Kart 7 uses the Nintendo Network. Here is proof! I almost wanted to say it was very obvious, but it isn't. For some reason, in the American version of Mario Kart 7, when you try to connect the game to the internet it will say: Connecting to the Internet. However in the European version of Mario Kart 7, the game will say: Connecting to Nintendo Network. This confirms Mario Kart 7 does use the Nintendo Network. It is also the first Nintendo game to use the Nintendo Network, if I am not making a mistake. rend (talk) (edits)

Thanks, I've updated the Trivia section on the Mario Kart 7 page. Akfamilyhome 21:56, 24 February 2012 (EST)

Confused...............

I'm confused....... How will MTO use the Nintendo Network service? Will u be able to download new courts or Characters maybe? Please Reply ASAT0---User:Link007

We probably don't know yet. There's not enough info as of today. Ray Trace^(T|C)

Already released

The sources say the game should be released on May, but now it's April, so we should mark it as recently released. Shall we? --File:SFCLogo.gif Super Famicom™ 64 13:56, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

You are aware that May comes after April Raven Effect (talk)

I'm so freakin' dumb. --File:SFCLogo.gif Super Famicom™ 64 15:30, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

More details

In this japanese source reveals more info related to the game, including the amount of the character roster, which confirms that Luma and Baby Peach will appearing the game.

L151

This site is like a rumor and not confirmed. No trailers and images. Baby Peach without Baby Mario aren't happen. Manasword (Talk)

Well snice this is japanese product site (which offer side info) that's been confirmed.

L151

This japanese site is looks like inserted false information. and offically not announced. Manasword (Talk)

I'd wait until a more reliable source pops up, because I'm not sold that Baby Peach can be in without Baby Mario. M&SG (talk) 23:43, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

Luma and Baby Peach are confirmed. http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=175934 User:Elise/sig

File:BabypeachMTO.png pretty much sold the deal there. Of course, a screenshot of the Lumas is still lacking. M&SG (talk) 07:56, 21 April 2012 (EDT)

File:Mtoluma.png Here, I've uploaded a picture of Luma, taken from Mario Party Legacy. MarioComix 03:08, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

This is really cool,but does that mean we can expect other infant characters?(baby mario,luigi,daisy,etc.) Or even Rosalina? –RosalinaSilverCrown

It is very likely that at the very least Baby Mario will be in, but that is just speculation. We will have to wait until the other two characters (or one, if they count Mii as one of the 16) are confirmed --~ I'm Purple--Koopa--Bro. And I approve this sandwitch! ~

It seems that Dry Bowser has been confirmed to be one of the sixteen characters. (where are they getting all of these characters? Could this actually be the official roster?) ~RosalinaSilverCrown

I have a news. Sorry for Rosalina fans. The last character is Baby Mario, source seems to be Famitsu. But there is no screenshot provided (plus Famitsu have inserted incorrect information recently), so we still need to wait for official announcement. --NM4000T4 20:26, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

hmm, not surprised. May I have a link or something? --~ I'm Purple--Koopa--Bro. And I approve this sandwitch! ~

The link is the same one for the Galaxy Dome, i believe its called Mario Fan Site, but its in Japanese. Its on their main page, my quesion is if we add Baby Mario to characters considering we've use the site already, showing that we trust it. Ill hold off though

[3][4][5] Here are more details, it seems that Famitsu put each unlockable character's artwork and performance, but the problem is that no screenshot. --NM4000T4 19:12, 27 April 2012 (EDT)

Huh? All I see on one of these links is Baby Mario's name. Ray Trace^(T|C)

If you can read Japanese you will understand that they are talking about the contents in the Famitsu. --NM4000T4 19:38, 27 April 2012 (EDT)

Well you said it yourself, this website has inserted false info. before. Plus, I doubt there will only be 16 characters in the game. Since when does Nintendo give out every playable character before release? P.S. thanks for sparing my feelings about no Rosalina :'( ,but I still have my hopes. After all,every character needs a partner,and who better than Rosalina for a Luma? ~♪RosalinaSilverCrown♪

There will be 16, on the site there are only 16 icons. --~ I'm Purple--Koopa--Bro. And I approve this sandwitch! ~

What do you mean there are only 16 icons? I just looked on the official site. There is nothing about the amount of characters anywhere on there.~RosalinaSilverCrown

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/agaj/character/010.html --~ I'm Purple--Koopa--Bro. And I approve this sandwitch! ~

OK. I see it now. I guess we'll have to wait to find out the last character until the game comes out.~RosalinaSilverCrown

Actually,the video I just watched said 16 characters and more to unlock! I don't know exactly what this means or could mean,but it fills me with a certain hope.P.S.pleeeease somebody come to my talk page! I have a super serious question to ask!~--[[User:RosalinaSilverCrown| 18:11, 1 May 2012 (EDT)RosalinaSilverCrown

--RosalinaSilverCrown 15:55, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

16 Characters?

I'm not sure, but already 16 characters are confirmed, but since Baby Peach is playable, then Baby Mario should be too. Why is eveyone so sure there are 16 characters anyways? ~ Qyzxf (talk)

NVM ~ Qyzxf (talk)

The characters we have listed are unlockables,and the ones we don't know yet are probably going to come playable. At least,that is what the video I just waytched said. ~RosalinaSilverCrown

Actually there may be more than 16 characters. If you watch the trailer on the European Mario Tennis Open site, you will notice the trailer says "16 CHARACTERS AND MORE TO UNLOCK!", which means that there will be more than 16 characters. Nintendo confirmed that some characters can be unlocked in the game and some can be unlocked by scanning QR codes. So what I think (and that is only speculation) it that the players starts of with 12 characters and can unlock 4 more in the game, but by scanning QR codes, he/she can unlock even more characters. But this is not confirmed and only what I speculate. What I just want to point out is the fact that 16 may not be the minimum of playable characters in Mario Tennis Open. rend (talk) (edits)

Thank you, for explaining what i have been trying to say this whole time. :·) ~♪RosalinaSilverCrown

Baby Mario?

According to the source that lists him playable, it lists all the confirmed characters of now except for Baby Peach. Isn't that a wee bit fishy? Could it be a typo? Ray Trace^(T|C)

Not a very reliable source if you ask me....I'd wait until we have a screenshot of him to add him to the list. yoshiyoshiyoshi (talk)

There is no need to wait. Nintendo of Europe confirmed Baby Mario is playable. Source: Nintendo volleys even more features for Mario Tennis Open rend (talk) (edits)

More characters

Arend told me, that the European trailer said 16 CHARACTERS AVAILABLE AND MORE TO UNLOCK so it might be true there are more characters but that the now confirmed chars are just the starting roster. This is why I think since the MORE part in the sentence is a little confusing. ~ Qyzxf (talk)

I think that what Arend said about the QR Codes and the process of unlocking characters is right though. I would also venture to say that Baby Peach, Baby Mario, Dry Bowser and Luma are all unlockable, and some more characters can be unlocked through QR Codes (as mentioned in the page). I'm expecting that all the usual characters are most likely going to be playable from the start (Ex: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Daisy, Peach, Bowser, Wario, Bowser Jr., Waluigi, Boo, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong (and Mii)) NinjaYoshi

I think that the now confirmed characters are the starter ones, since the trailer says "16 characters available..." (I think they are the starters) "...and more to unlock" (I think they are the unlockable ones that either can be won in-game or by scanning QR codes) ~ Qyzxf (talk)

Oh, I just saw that Dry Bowser, Baby Mario, Baby Peach and Luma are unlockables... ~ Qyzxf (talk)

Thank you. That's exactly what I said! :) NinjaYoshi

But the header under this says something about a Blue Yoshi, which must mean that there are already eightteen characters in the game. Shouldn't we delete the information on the article that says there are sixteen playable characters? ~ Qyzxf (talk)

I think we should leave it in there, but state that of those 16, there are 4 unlockable characters, and there are 8 others unlockable only through QR Codes... NinjaYoshi

Blue Yoshi

On the japanese website, I looked under the QR codes section and saw a picture of blue Yoshi. Does anyone know japanese and could translate what it says there? Tails777 Talk to me!

It just says that "these" characters are downloadable through QR Codes. (Meaning, obviously, that Blue Yoshi is one of them.) Actually, that is just speculation, because Google Translate won't let me copy and paste the Japanese characters on that part of the page... NinjaYoshi

What the Japanese site said was: " いろんな色のヨッシーたちもテニスに挑戦。パワーがあったりスピンショットが得意だったり、それぞれ能力が違います。" According to Google Translate, it means: "We also challenge the tennis Yoshi of various colors. Was good and there is a power or spin shot, each ability is different." rend (talk) (edits)

Wait... So does that mean that all the other QR Code Unlockables are different colored Yoshis? Or was that just the discription for Blue Yoshi? OR: Does it mean Blue Yoshi changes colors, and each color has different power, spin and speed abilities?? NinjaYoshi

Never mind. But does that mean each Yoshi is either Tricky, Technique, Speed, Defense, Power or All-Around? Or are they all Speed and just have different spin & power stats? (I know this question probably isn't relevant right now, but when someone finds out, please let me know.) NinjaYoshi

I know the amount of characters

Now we have the now confirmed characters. Together these are eightteen (Also counting Mii). However, this place shows a few incons with question marks in them, which also means there are going to be more characters scannable by QR codes. Adding this up, the total amout of characters must be twenty-four. ~ Qyzxf (talk)

I must also note that there is a third header on the left, which might imply even more characters. ~ Qyzxf (talk)

Or it could be courts. Because the first tab is unlockable characters, but the second has a picture of a Mii in a Yoshi suit (meaning that that tab is for unlockable suits). NinjaYoshi

I sayed it might be. But should we change the sentence that says there are only sixteen characters or shouldn't we? ~ Qyzxf (talk)

I already answered that in the More Characters section. And I know that you said "might" but I said "could be". In other words, that was MY own speculation. NinjaYoshi

Actually, I just read on the link to where it says that QR Codes will be used for unlocking characters (Yoshis), and I read that the last tab is where the QR Codes will be displayed. In other words, the QR Codes are only on the website (a pretty easy way of unlocking characters if you ask me...) Should that be added to the article? NinjaYoshi

I think we should add/delete both, actually. There just are more than sixteen characters and the way of unlocking might be important as well. ~ Qyzxf (talk)

True. I think that adding the 24 total characters (somehow) would be more effiecient. But I think the 16 total characters should be left in because that's referring to in-game unlockables, not just all characters. (I don't know how to put that...) NinjaYoshi

So do you mean that we should add that the QR Codes will be put on the website? NinjaYoshi

Light Blue Yoshi

Someone better fix that link to the Light Blue Yoshi, and it can possibly be fake. - ItsameMario 01:36, 12 May 2012 (EDT) - It's a me, Mario! -

First, nothing you just said makes sense. Second, don't make assumptions that the link is false. It could be completely right! For Baby Mario, for instance, we had potentially "false" info. But it turned out to be real, and we added him to the list anyway. If it is in fact false, we can always go back and delete him from the list. Third, the Mario Tennis Open website says that all the QR Code unlockable characters are Multicolored Yoshis. Therefore, Light Blue Yoshi is almost guaranteed to be a playable character. NinjaYoshi

That picture of that so-called "Light Blue Yoshi" just shows a picture of the Blue Yoshi, I believe. ~ Qyzxf (talk)

No, it was Light Blue. I'm saying that images are more trustworthy. And look! Now we have info about Yellow Yoshi, and it does confirm Light Blue Yoshi to be playable as well (I used Google Translate). NinjaYoshi

Rosalina

--RosalinaSilverCrown 16:47, 17 May 2012 (EDT)What's up with Rosalina's head on the black yoshi's photo/screenshot/evidence thingie?

Because arbitrarily post that exclusive QR code on the web is not an appropriate behavior and is rude to the publisher, so Rosalina is using her head to cover it. --NM4000T4 19:14, 17 May 2012 (EDT)

The image is likely be edited. It looks fake to me. Ray Trace^(T|C)

Yes, the only reason for that Rosalina's head is to cover QR code, no other meaning. I hope you will not misunderstand. --NM4000T4 22:31, 17 May 2012 (EDT)

White Yoshi

White Yoshi is in this game! [6]
They did say that there are many more Yoshis.
Red-CyanToad (talk)

They mean the other colors that are already confirmed. But yes, you are right about them saying there are many other Yoshies. NinjaYoshi

WEIRD!!!

--RosalinaSilverCrown 17:41, 19 May 2012 (EDT)Isn't it kind of weird that the link to Blue Yoshi's reference hasn't posted any other of the yoshi characters? I'm POSITIVE they are correct,but if they have revealed them then why don't they add them?

Yes. They just haven't had the time to add those other Colored Yoshies to the page. It'll come very soon now that the game is released. NinjaYoshi

QR codes

What are the QR codes about? I dont understand how us people in the Americas will get these codes. This site- http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/05/scour_the_uk_for_mario_tennis_open_yoshi_qr_codes says that its in the UK so... yeah.- Link007

Um, they are put up on the website :/ --~ I'm Purple--Koopa--Bro. And I approve this sandwitch! ~

Uh... Just an idea, but should we put up the Multicolored Yoshi (and Yoshi Suit) QR Codes on the article or in the gallery somewhere? NinjaYoshi

??? Tab

On the Japanese site, I seeing ??? Tab in QR code section. What do you meaning there more playable character or Mii? I'm little confusing. Windy Walk

Normally, Nintendo reserves secret and unlockable content in-game by putting a mere question mark or three, take a look for example at the Super Smash Bros. DOJO!! site. --NewSMBU (talk) 02:25, 20 May 2012 (EDT)

This is a possible for more characters have playable? Windy Walk

Hypothetically. But you have to take into consideration that it does show a picture of a Mii in an outfit, so I'd expect it to be QR Downloadable Suits. NinjaYoshi

Yes, it's just an hypothesis. So why did someone wrote in the article that others downloadable characters will appear ? We can't affirm it. --Fire-Luigi 06:27, 20 May 2012 (EDT)

I don't know. I guess we'll just have to wait until Nintendo reveals the tab on the website... NinjaYoshi

Okay! Who put the info about the other downloadable characters back up?? Like I said before, let's wait until the other very unlikely characters are put on the website! NinjaYoshi

lol. you stopped my thing from posting because we posted at the same time. But,yeah! Stop putting things up without any proof. you're making me get my hopes up! P.S.for some reason my signature thing isn't working sooooo,this is "RosalinaSilverCrown"

I have two questions to ask! One, who put it up again?? Two, if they are unknown then why pit them up on the article?? It makes sense to not put it up until we know what the characters are! We didn't do that same thing for the MultiColored Yoshies when they announced them but all we had on the page was Blue Yoshi! NinjaYoshi

Red Yoshi

Where did the information about Red Yoshi being a Technique player come from? NinjaYoshi

I don't know, but I'm going to delete if no source is provided. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:09, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

Alright! Now who keeps putting up the Multi colored Yoshies' stats!? Now there's not only Blue and Red but White and Black too!!! Who keeps doing it and where's the proof?!?! NinjaYoshi

I have the game and I can see the stats under the colored Yoshis. I only know about the Red and Blue Yoshis becasue I have them. That should be enough proof. Tails777 Talk to me!

Thank you for replying! Yeah, that's enough proof for me. Are the stats for Black and White Yoshi the same as mentioned on the page? Or is someone else probably adding those from their game? NinjaYoshi

Item Battle?

In the past home console Mario Tennis games, for the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, there has been an Item Battle sort of mode where Item Boxes appear over the net and every time you hit the ball while you have an item the item gets used. I don't have the game so I can't confirm, but does this game still have the Item Battle mode? I think it's sort of worth mentioning that this game is in the style of these home console games, but unlike the home console games it doesn't have Item Battle mode, or else it's the first handheld to have Item Battle mode, if that's also the case, since I don't have any handheld Mario Tennis games. MarioComix 02:34, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

There is no Item battle in this Mario Tennis game. rend (talk) (edits)

Media

Could someone also get (or record) the .ogg files for the court music (and main themes)? I noticed we're a little short on media by only having the trailer up... NinjaYoshi

GameXplain has a bunch that I'm going to convert to .ogg and upload. Mario4Ever (talk)

I'll upload more tomorrow. If someone could please help put these in the media section (and create a separate page if needed), that would be great (it would get done faster that way). Also, regarding the quality of these, it's the same as GameXplain's quality. I didn't want anyone to think that the quality suffered in the conversion process. Mario4Ever (talk)

Ok, great! Thanks. I have one question though... If you've got the files already, how can I link them to the media page? I mean, I'm confused about how to properly add media files. I know how to add just the little play pad thing on the file, but I don't know how to do a big panel like the trailer and other ones on other media file pages. NinjaYoshi (talk)

Just follow the directions here. On the actual page, you'll have to edit the media section and add to the coding that's already there. I'll go ahead and do one so you can see what I mean. Mario4Ever (talk)

:Ok. Thanks. I uploaded Mario Stadium... But I think if I did at all continue adding the .ogg's then I'd need to create a page for the media files. How should I do that? NinjaYoshi

Got it! Never mind! NinjaYoshi

QR Images

Should we upload images of the Yoshi QR codes (after they've been released of course)? SKmaric (talk)

Haha! That's what I said up at the QR Codes header! :) Yes, I would think so. It'd probably be good to put them in the gallery... Or we could create a new page like... "Mario Tennis Open/QR Code Images". If someone could also get good resolution on them because I have really pixelly ones and my 3DS can barely read them (I tested it on Mii Maker... I knew it wasn't going to work, just wanted to see if it could read them.) NinjaYoshi

I think we should put them in the gallery as well as on the specific Yoshi's page. I think we should also include the North American, Japanese and PAL QR codes, so that should make a total of twenty one images. As for getting the images, I can easily be able to get them in perfect quality. BTW so far the Yoshi costume has been released in all regions, Blue, Red and Pink in North America, Blue in Japan and Black and White in PAL. SKmaric (talk)

Ok. Sweet. :) NinjaYoshi (talk)

[7] Apparently Nintendo doesn't want the images posted online. At least not the European ones :/ We should probably delete them. SKmaric (talk)

It still should be treated as an request from Nintendo as a whole, even though the notice came from a subsidiary of Nintendo. That means they're saying that those QR images should not be posted anywhere else besides where they've authorized certain folks to post the codes on other websites. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 10:33, 2 June 2012 (EDT)

Oh well... I guess we'll just have to wait a long time for them to finally put them up on the North American and European websites... :/ NinjaYoshi (talk)

I have found all that are confirmed, so if there still is going to be a page for them, I can help. ~ Qyzxf (talk)

Oh wow! Do you have all versions of them (North American, European and Japanese)? NinjaYoshi

Yes, all that are released so far, but most Japanese are low quality. ~ Qyzxf (talk)

Right, but that's not including like... Light Blue Yoshi, White Yoshi (in NA) or Yellow and Red (in Europe)? NinjaYoshi

Black Yoshi and White from EU and JA, Red Yoshi, Pink Yoshi, Yellow Yoshi, Blue Yoshi from NA and JA, Light Blue Yoshi from JA, and Mii's Yoshi Suit from all, so technically all of them so far. ~ Qyzxf (talk)

Oh. I was hoping for Light Blue Yoshi NA. Oh well. I can wait :) NinjaYoshi

I have all of the codes that Toad'ShyGuy mentioned in identical quality to this on my PC's hard drive, but like I said I can't upload them here, so unfortunately there can't be a page for them. SKmaric (talk)

Well, Light Blue and Black Yoshi were released in NA, so I'm happy. White Yoshi isn't a character I would want immediately anyway. But I've got them now. Thanks though, NinjaYoshi

METAL MARIO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

Where is that image from and where was it confirmefd?! ~ Qyzxf (talk)!!!!!!!

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUm7NHizYZA&feature=g-u-u. Here you go. DonnyKD 10:51, 15 June 2012 (EDT)

Holy cow, this game has a lot of unlockable characters! There might be hope after all for Shy Guy, Koopa Troopa, Baby Luigi and Toad to make it! :D NinjaYoshi

Nintendo put it up on the Japanese website (I guess that extra tab wasn't for courts after all!) Which means there's a LOT more to come. Here's the link: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/agaj/qr/metal.html NinjaYoshi

Hm, put the tab itself is named "metal", and there doesn't appear to be room for other tabs or characters... I think Metal Mario's the last one. After all, his racket was in the game among other Mario power-up rackets, but those power-ups appeared as Mii costumes, while Metal Mario did not. MarioComix 02:51, 16 June 2012 (EDT)

Yes, but Nintendo did originally only put up the normal characters, then they put up the extra "?" circles (which were later filled in with Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Luma and Dry Bowser. I don't know about the "metal" thing... I guess in a sense you might be right about that part ... And also, all the Yoshies got their costume accessories, whereas Metal Mario didn't. He only has a racket. NinjaYoshi

Just because some characters' rackets didn't appear in the game, doesn't mean the characters themselves can't. With that logic then there HAS to be Toad,Birdo,Magikoopa,and a whole bunch of other characters that have a racket. --RosalinaSilverCrown 11:12, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

If only you would look in the costume section, you'd see that those characters have costumes to go w their rackets. Metal Mario doesn't. Thank you. NinjaYoshi

Ok. So now what you're telling me is that there is a chain chomp costume,a magikoopa costume,and a buttload of other costumes. When there is no costume for a racket,then that just proves even more of what i said. So thank you,and don't even try to reply with another rude message because my patience is just about gone. --RosalinaSilverCrown 15:23, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

I don't exactly see where he's being rude, he's just putting forward another argument. I'm going to have to say that having a costume to match a racket doesn't really mean anything right now, I can't read Japanese but from what I can make out most of the playable characters have rackets and costumes as well.--Vommack 15:31, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

Ok,I guess he may not have meant what he said to sound rude. It's probably just all in my head. Please forgive me,Ninja Yoshi. Anyways, a playable character doesn't have to have a costume+a racket. If they did then we would have so many unusual characters. Goomba,Propeller Mario,Cloud Mario,etc. But at the same time,I agreed that earlier toad might still be appearing through qr codes. According to what you just said,then maybe toad,birdo,and other characters can be playable through qr. But of course,there are pretty good reasons for both side of this argument so we should just wait if anything. --RosalinaSilverCrown 15:49, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say. I was pointing out that he had a racket but no costume or outfit, meaning that it would make sense if he was playable. I also agree with what you said about the others appearing in qr code form, because that's what I said earlier. :) NinjaYoshi

Metal Mario is a Power character?

Where does it say that he's a Power type character? User:Dry Bowser rules!

It's based on what's seen from the video on the Japanese website. It's just like we figured out of the first ones when they were put up. NinjaYoshi

On the website, if you compare the red bar under his name to a known Power character, like Wario, you'll see it's exactly the same. MarioComix 01:15, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

I couldn't understand the way you put it, but that's what I was trying to explain. NinjaYoshi

Level 2-4

In the article, it says that the waluigi costume is unlocked by getting 800 coins in level 2-4 in super mario tennis. I don't understand this. The last level for super mario tennis is level 1-4. If anyone knows how to make it to that level(if possible) then i would loooooove to know how. Plus, it would be nice to add in the super mario tennis article.--RosalinaSilverCrown 11:08, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

Done. One has to play Super Mario Tennis with another person via local multiplayer in order to access World 2. Mario4Ever (talk)

THX ;-) --RosalinaSilverCrown 15:26, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

Metal Mario's code

When and where was the QR code for Metal Mario released in the US? --RosalinaSilverCrown 11:16, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

Where'd you find that it was maybe released? Because I don't think it was released in any region at all... Hmmm... Yeah, I don't think it was released yet. NinjaYoshi

On the article it says that the US has all but white yoshi. --RosalinaSilverCrown 20:16, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

That section of the page is only for different colours of Yoshi, hence its title as "The Yoshi Hunt". MarioComix 21:41, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

I always overlook the titles. It was a little confusing since metal mario had been on "Yoshi Hunt" list one day,and was gone another. It made me think that the qr code had been released. --RosalinaSilverCrown 08:09, 19 June 2012 (EDT)

Metal Mario is it you can find the QR code at a SOCIAL place where players meet FACE TO FACE

Where ever that is...can someone find it for us in the US?
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Streetguru (talk).

That means Facebook. Go to the Mario Tennis Open Facebook page, it'll be somewhere on there. Or you can go here and get the code. NinjaYoshi

White Yoshi?

Will everyone get every QR code? Or will (for example) North America not get White Yoshi but get Metal Mario?

It's likely every region will eventually get every QR code.

Kirby themes

In the Trivia, it says some music is a remix of certain Kirby themes. Is that true? If so, which MTO themes are remixes of which Kirby series themes? And wouldn't we move that to References to Other Games? YoshiCookie (talk) 10:15, 10 December 2015 (EST)

QR Codes

Hey everyone! I just found proof that every character is available in every country. Here. Just for a citation. And clarification of why I edited the page that way. But I'm not sure whether of not I should mention Metal Mario, so I just put him in there. You can take him out if it's not ok. NinjaYoshi

There isn't a QR Code for Chinese Version in that page.Click here you can see QR codes for Chinese version except Light Blue Yoshi and Metal Mario.In fact Nintendo of HongKong has uploaded QR code of Light Blue Yoshi and Metal Marioand I've already scanned all of them.(I'm a Chinese with bad English...)--Zhangfangte (talk) 03:07, 1 May 2013 (EDT)

Tennis Gear

Bowser & Junior's voice clips

Is it okay to note that Bowser & Bowser Jr. are reusing their Mario Power Tennis voice clips, in spite of their voice actor changes starting from Super Mario Galaxy? you can here the clips here: https://youtu.be/bjumZn0jrqQ?t=28. On that note, I've noticed something similar with their voice clips in this video: https://youtu.be/BUwftqALBxc?t=208 except it's even more noticeable because there you can hear Bowser go from his Scott Burns voice to his Kenny James voice.--Thatguy62 (talk) 21:52, 7 March 2017 (EST)

That's actually already covered by the "References to other games" section regarding MPT. MarioComix (talk) 22:33, 7 March 2017 (EST)

I know, but I was wondering if it was worth mentioning that it's their previous voice actors (or in the case of Sports Superstars, both actors). A similar case happens with Rosalina in Sports Superstars. It's okay if the thing you mentioned is enough though.--Thatguy62 (talk) 23:38, 7 March 2017 (EST)

Differences from previous Mario Tennis games

As mentioned in the "References to other games" section, for Mario Power Tennis, announcer clips and such are changed. While I feel this is notable enough to mention in the article somewhere, I feel it is misplaced in that section since it does not reference Mario Power Tennis. I think a "Differences from previous Mario Tennis games" section could be implemented, wherein this could be written. Is there enough information to warrant a sizeable section? It also needs to incorporate the handheld Mario Tennis games, unless one can somehow word it to only incorporate the home console ones (to which Mario Tennis Open is most similar).
