Super Mario Tennis
Super Mario Tennis is one of the four Special Games in Mario Tennis Open. The game plays like a tennis version of Super Mario Bros., with the player hitting the tennis ball at a wall with an autoscrolling level. The player must get to the Flagpole, hitting enemies, coins, power-ups, and Brick Blocks with the tennis ball in order to score points, collect coins and increase the total timer. The game can be played in single player or local multiplayer with two people. Each mode has four unique levels, with single player having levels based on 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4, and multiplayer having 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 and 2-4. Baby Mario can be unlocked by completing level 1-3 in this game. Additionally, a Wario costume can be unlocked by completing level 1-4 with at least 800 coins, and a Waluigi one can be unlocked by completing level 2-4 with at least 800 coins.
if the player runs out of time, they lose a life. The game then resumes with extra time. If the player loses all lives in the level, the game ends. If the ball hits specific pipes, the player can enter either a sub-area or a new level. Collecting a Super Mushroom gives the player the ability to break bricks for extra coins. Collecting a Fire Flower makes the ball shoot two fireballs that can defeat enemies, break brick blocks and collect nearby coins. Collecting a 1-Up Mushroom gives the player an extra life. Finally, collecting a Super Star will turn every spot the player's ball hits into coins.
