The Mario Classic Court is an unlockable court in Mario Power Tennis. The court is inspired by the Mario Bros. arcade game, with its elements resembling 8-bit sprites based on that game's sprites and backgrounds, and its gimmick based on the arcade game's gameplay. Behind the court is a collection of platforms similar to the ones in Mario Bros., and two sets of yellow and green pipes which lead to either side of the court. Purple and blue Sidesteppers act as line judges on the court. When played as a standard court, the ground is made up of a simple yellow-orange gradient with a Nintendo logo on either side.

When played as a gimmick court, various enemies from Mario Bros. spawn and walk through the court via the pipes, blocking the movement of players. The enemies flip around if they collide with each other, or if they are hit with a ball. Hitting the POW Block floating on top of the net damages all enemies, flipping them over as in the arcade game. In this state, walking over an enemy defeats it, and if left alone, they will change color, flip back over, and continue walking. Enemies leave the court via a second set of pipes located opposite of the pipes they entered from. After used up, the POW Block respawns after a few seconds.

The variety of enemies featured changes depending on the game in a set. On the first game, Shellcreepers and Sidesteppers can spawn. On the second, Fighter Flies begin appearing. On the third game, Freezies also begin appearing, being able to freeze a side of the court if they reach its center. Once frozen, the side will remain frozen until the next game starts.

During Item Battles, Stars have a 10% higher chance to appear from Item Boxes.The Special Game Coin Collectors is held in this court. It is unlocked by winning the Fire Cup in Doubles.
