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

Play Modes

Mario Tennis has several different modes: Mario Tour, Exhibition, Linked Play, and Mario Mini-Games.

Mario Tour (Story Mode)

In Mario Tour, the player takes control of Alex or Nina. They are the new students trying to make their way up the ranks at the Royal Academy, a school for tennis. At the beginning of the game, the player gets to choose whether the are going to play singles or doubles matches.

In Mario Tour, the player's character does exercises with coaches and plays against higher ranked players in order to get a higher rank for him or herself. Higher ranks mean they can challenge better players. Eventually, they can get a high enough rank to enter the Island Open.

As the player progresses through the ranks, the player gets to increase their characters ability in different areas (similar to an RPG).

Exhibition

In this mode, the player plays a single game of tennis. The player may choose what character both they and the computer uses as well as the court and computer's difficulty level. Both singles and doubles are available in Exhibition.

Linked Play

Linked Play is just like Exhibition Mode, except that the player plays against another human player instead of a computer. Linked Play requires two Game Boy Colors, two copies of Mario Tennis for the GBC, and a link cable.

Mario Mini-Games

This is a group of mini-games presented by various Nintendo characters. Some need to be unlocked. The mini-games include:

Nintendo 64 Transfer

With a copy of Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, a Nintendo 64, a transfer pack, and a copy of Mario Tennis for the GBC, it is possible to transfer information between the two versions of the game. Characters from the Game Boy Color game can be transferred to the Nintendo 64 game and vice versa.
