Talk:Mario Power Tennis

(First topic)

Don't you think this article should include characters Power Shots? Each character has certain power shots, some offensive and some defensive.

For example, Waluigi's shots are Swimming Return, which lets him swim through the air to get to the ball, and Whirluigi, which makes the person who hits the ball back spin.

Isn't it Whirligi? Max2 (talk)

All of the characters and their moves can be found here. (But please don't copy word-for-word what Wikipedia says about it. One, it'd be copyright violation, and two, it's pitifully worded.)

I reverted it all the way, PPL. What you removed does not affect the way the page looks. Phoenix Rider

Courses

What courses appear in this game.-- Aipom --

Look it up on Wikipedia, and if you can add them here.Knife (talk) 14:25, 4 March 2007 (EST)

Live

According to the oficial Tennis site it says where each character lives. Should articles on those places be made? PJ

no. they are only half-canonical info. Max2 (talk)

Anything not from games are considered low canon or uncanonical. Do you have a link to the exact page though?Knife (talk) 20:44, 6 March 2007 (EST)

Secret Character Renders?

I would really like to know where someone got the official renders of the secret characters! Because I've never even seen them anywhere online! Someone please do tell!--PeteyPiranhaLover 19:31, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

Fly Guy

Looking at the character artworks I see that we have all the characters but Fly Guy. I found on the official Japan site of the Wii Mario Power Tennis that there really is an artwork for Fly Guy but it is still unrevealed. Just wondering if you guys could some how get the Fly Guy artwork when it is revealed. Thanks! (P.S. Fly Guy ROCKS!) User:RedBoo64

FLY GUY IS REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL JAPAN WII SITE! Can you guys please get his artwork! User:RedBoo64

Can you put a link to the page here? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:38, 22 January 2009 (EST)

(GCN)

With the article being labelled (GCN), it doesn't make much sense to list the Wii version on the same page. Should NPC titles get their own little article? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:17, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Well, we have an article about the Super Mario Advance series...so NPC games can either get their own articles, have the content put on their respective GameCube game articles, or put all the content for the games on the NPC series article. What do you think is best? -- Son of Suns (talk)

We actually already have the article New Play Control!. I'm not sure what would be better though. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:02, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Gallery

Is it... like... really neccessary to have four artworks of Mario in the gallery? Wouldn't one or two be enought? It seems kinda weird to me (I mean, I know he's Mr. Nintendo but... four? Everyone else just got one).

Trophy Presentation Section

I have just noticed that Goomblob added a section that deals with listing the trophy presentations for each character. Just a heads-up to let everyone know that I currently hid the section until I see about getting related images to make a table for it. Plus, the "descriptions" for each character need major editing to get it up to standards here. I will restore the section once the job is done. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan!

event mode.

If you hold Z and hit start, this mode will be unlocked. shouldn't that be mentioned?Pikmin theories (talk) 17:12, 17 August 2017 (EDT)

That's true. I can't believe this has gone missed until now. MarioComix (talk) 02:22, 18 August 2017 (EDT)

Tennis points

Please don't remove this edit!

There's an error. In the line "Players earn 15 points for every shot that is successful and can win the game by earning set, game, and match points by earning 60 points on each game.", players don't get 15 points. 15 is 1 point. 30 is 2 points. 40 is three points. I know this because I played Mario Tennis. I will change that to "Players earn 1 point for every shot that is successful and can win the game by earning set, game, and match points by earning 4 points on each game." I don't know if I need approval, but I'm just going to make this edit. Thanks! 99.234.204.8 11:20, November 24, 2023 (EST)

Hello? No one fixed this error. Some explaination. A tennis match has sets. Sets can last 2 units, or 6 units. Those units are called games. A game in tennis is split up into 4 points. 15 is the first one, 30 is the second one, 40 is the third one, and the point that wins the game, the fourth one. Does anyone on the MarioWiki know their tennis points? PaperMarioGolf (talk) 09:26, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Walpeach

So the person who uploaded the "Walpeach" (the creator or something) designs on instagram has since deleted them. I can't access them anymore. And the people who originally reported those desings were Source Gaming. Is Source Gaming even a reliable source? This is all very strange.

CastleResearch (talk) 13:09, December 2, 2023 (EST)

It was real. Ask Blhte (talk), they interacted with the poster. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:19, December 2, 2023 (EST)

I'll take your word for it. Still it's weird they deleted it so quickly. CastleResearch (talk) 13:34, December 2, 2023 (EST)

Walpeach's name

Is her English conceptual name actually "Walpeach?" I thought it was "Wapeach." It would at least make more sense, because Wario and Waluigi's names are derived from the Japanese word 'warui,' which literally means 'bad.' Not sure if it was a typo on the editor's part or if this is the actual name.

I think Fumihide-san want to reflect the katakana ル. ワルピーチ is indeed one of her two names to be determinedMedia:Walpeach Design Instagram.jpg. Blhte^{(A****** c*****)} 09:55, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Fumihilde indeed consistently spelled it, with Latin characters, as "Walpeach," even in response to people saying "Wapeach." "Wapeach" is more widespread thanks to busybody journalists, YouTubers, and fanartists who can't be bothered to do their homework (despite my best nerdy erm, acshually efforts at correcting them), but that spelling is wrong, plain and simply and needs to be quashed out before I lose whatever loose equivalent to sanity I have left. It comes off as highly disrespectful to the work that went into designing her to ignore something as simple as her name. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 10:43, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Thanks. I'll go ahead and fix the instance of Wapeach I found on Waluigi's article. --JoeCool (talk) 11:48, January 9, 2024 (EST)

Also, as far as the warui origin goes -- L and R don't have direct equivalents in Japanese, so "warui" or "walui" are technically both semi-accurate translations (which is why Waluigi is named the way he is -- it literally has the word "warui" in it). That would be where the L comes from. 73.171.104.211 11:01, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Split New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit this section or its subsections. If you wish to discuss the article, please do so in a new section below the proposal.

split 11-0
Per my reasoning for splitting both Donkey Kong Original Edition and 25th Anniversary Super Mario Bros. The redirect that currently has this name is categorized under "Enhanced ports", and enhanced ports with minor differences like this game have also been given their own page (i.e. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD), and the only other New Play Control! Super Mario-related game, New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, also currently has a page. Granted, that game has major story differences, but this game is also listed separately from Mario Power Tennis on the list of games.

New Play Control! Split

1. New Play Control! Nelsonic (talk) New Play Control! Per proposal.
2. New Play Control! Rykitu (talk) If the New Play Control version of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat has a page, this should too.
3. New Play Control! EvieMaybe (talk) per proposal, i appreciate the consistency
4. New Play Control! Xiahou Ba (talk) Reasons Donkey Kong Jungle Beat had a page for a while was because it had more differences than Power Tennis did, but on the other hand we have separate articles on mere compilations such as Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move + Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, Donkey Kong Classics, and the aforementioned New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U, which offer even less content than just a new control scheme and widescreen support, so yeah, there's enough info here to comfortably warrant its own article.
5. New Play Control! Kaptain Skurvy (New Play Control! Talk) New Play Control! Per Proposal
6. New Play Control! MarioComix (talk) Per all.
7. Hew Play Control! Hewer (talk) I always found the inconsistency with Jungle Beat slightly irritating. If they bothered to give a port a different name, we can bother to give it a different article. I wonder how we'll end up handling Switch 2 Editions...
8. Nintendo Selects: PopitTart (talk) It always threw me for a loop that this version didn't have its own page, coming from the perspective of Pikipedia. Actually, should the page be called Nintendo Selects: Mario Power Tennis since the Wii version released under that branding a few years after?
9. Mario Power Tennis Featuring Altendo from the Super Mario Wiki (talk) Per all.
10. New Play Control! Rering644 (talk)} Per other votes.
11. Old Play Control! Biggestman (talk)} Old Play Control! Per all. (I don't like motion controls that much)

New Play Control! Comments

What is there to say about New Play Control in Mario Power Tennis other than a new control scheme and widescreen support? Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 15:54, May 7, 2025 (EDT)

@Xiahou Ba, The Nasty Warrior My guess is that the page would end up (in addition to what you mentioned) talking about the new gauge for Power Shots and then take a route similar to that of the New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U page and discuss the new video that explains how to use the Wii Remote. Nelsonic (talk) 16:11, May 7, 2025 (EDT)

Huh, didn't know that article exists, which has even less differences than the New Play Control does. In that case, yeah, give that game its own article. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 16:41, May 7, 2025 (EDT)

@PopitTart: I mean, we aren't moving any of the other Nintendo Selects games to that name. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 03:49, May 8, 2025 (EDT)
