Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)

Mario Tennis is a tennis game for the Game Boy Color. The game features Mario and other characters.

Mario Power Tennis

Mario Power Tennis

Mario Power Tennis is a game for the Nintendo GameCube. It is the sequel of Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. In this game, Mario and his various friends (and enemies) meet up to play a few rounds of tennis. Like previous Mario sports titles, all the playable characters have special Power Shots to make the game more interesting. Additionally, there are courts in the game that have special effects and events during the game. Also, there are special games for each court to play with.

Mario Tennis: Power Tour

Mario Tennis: Power Tour

Mario Tennis: Power Tour is very similar to its GameCube counterpart, except it is for the Game Boy Advance. It brings back the RPG elements of its predecessor. The game is not compatible with Mario Power Tennis like its golf counterpart. The PAL region's name for that game is Mario Power Tennis (same as the GameCube game).

Mario Tennis Open

Template:Newsubject-section

Mario Tennis Open

Mario Tennis Open is the newest title to the series for the Nintendo 3DS. It is based off of Mario Power Tennis from the Nintendo GameCube. This game features gyroscope support and online multiplayer (via Nintendo Network).

Ports

New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis

Mario Power Tennis for the New Play Control!

This game is a port of Mario Power Tennis for the Nintendo GameCube. For the Wii version of Mario Power Tennis (via the New Play Control! lineup), the controls are not like the Nintendo Gamecube version, since the game makes use of the Wii's motion controls. This version includes a tutorial movie to demonstrate how to use the Wii Remote in this game. Players can choose to play with the Wii Remote only, or with the Wii Remote/Nunchuk combination for advanced control of playable character participants.
