Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)

Mario Tennis is a tennis game for the Gameboy Color featuring Mario and other characters.

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

Story Mode
In Mario Tour, the player takes control of Alex or Nina. They are a new students trying to make their way up the ranks at the Royal Academy, where they study tennis. At the beginning of each game, the player get to choose whether their going to play singles or doubles.

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 Island Open.

As the player progresses through the ranks, the player gets to increase their characters ability in different areas.

Exhibition Mode
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 they are playing against a human instead of a computer. Linked Play requires two Gameboy Colors, two copies of Mario Tennis for the GBC, and a Link Cable.

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