Summary: Super Heroes aren't the only thing on the planet that have kick @$$ sidekicks. Super Games have them too. The Nintendo and Camelot tag-team join forces yet again to follow up their dual N64 and GBC success from Mario Golf, with Mario Tennis, an exceptional piece of software to accompany the N64 version of the same game.
Many gameply modes await you: the main story mode is the main course of the game. Basically, you choose whether to play as a boy or girl, then select their name and the name of their room mate/double partner.
The basic principal is that you and your partner start off weak, and you build up your character's points by taking part in matches and training drills.
The more you play, the faster you accumilate your points, although you'll obtain more points for winning than losing. You can distribute your earned points to either your character or you doubles partner. As you get stronger and defeat more opponents, you'll come up against harder ones. So you have to keep training and accumilating.
Starting in the Junior class, you battle you way to Class Champion and into the Senior Class. When you become top dog there, the Varsity Travelling Team awaits, and success here means you join the team and take part in a tournament. Finally, only after you win the tournament, does the opportunity to take on Mario himself presents itself. It's a long, hard road, but with perseverance and patience, you'll get there.
The other modes include straight forward exhibition matches against any other the characters that you either unlocked or defeated. Types of matches are fully customisable, and if you play as your created character, points can be accumilated here as well. A variety of mini games are also included in the cart to extend the value.
But my favourite part is that, like Mario Golf, this GBC cart can link up with the N64 version of Mario Tennis with the Transfer Pak. Your chosen characters can then play all the exhibitions, all the tournaments, and accumilate points here, too. Special characters can be unlocked here, also.
Yes, this is a solid cart with plenty of options in it. The only problem I've encountered is that there's little replay value in the single player game, once you've defeated Mario. However, the multiplayer should make up for that. I've never played the GBC multiplayer mode, but if it's as good as the N64, then this is what will have you coming back; as you and your friend's super-charged atheletes duke it out for supremacy.
A hell of a game; I give it four overall on it's own. But if you already own, or are planning to obtain a Transfer Pak and the N64 Mario Tennis as well, bump up the score to a five.
Summary: Mario Tennis is a tennis game where you are at the Royal Tennis Academy and you can move around campus challenging other tennis players to real matches. If you win, you raise your ranking. You can also train in special training games. If you succeed in training or win a match you get experience. If you get enough experience you gain a level. When you gain a level your stats increase.

Summary: If you think that the Nintendo 64 version is a great game that I have reviewed a day earlier, just wait till the Game Boy Color version has to offer you. The graphics are nearly identical to the Nintendo 64, and the controls are about the same as well. However, there are differences in this version then the Nintendo 64 version. Instead of Tournament mode, you have Story mode, where you have to train a person how to play the tennis games by doing tasks and winning games to gain more levels. You can even transfer them to the Nintendo 64.
For 30 bucks, you can now play Mario Tennis while on the run. You can even bring the trainer with you to your friend’s house. Just bring this game boy pak and a transfer pak with you, and as long as your friend has the Nintendo 64 tennis game, you can challenge your friend's trainers, to see who wins.
This is one of these Game Boy Colors that you should not miss. If you can get this game, the Nintendo 64 version of this, and a transfer pack, this would make the game complete.
I also won't mind if there would be a Game Cube or a Game Boy Advance version of the game.
*** Please note that this game is ONLY for the Game Boy Color. ***

Summary: Nintendo does it again! If you thought it'd be tough to top Mario Golf, think again. Mario Tennis, while not as deep or challenging as Mario Golf, is an excellent game that's well done and addictive as hell!
