Talk:Mario Tennis (series)

Mario's Tennis
Yes, it is a tennis game starring Mario, and yes, it has a similar name, but Mario's Tennis is not part of the Mario Tennis series - the fact that they were developed by different teams is one reason. But this article treats it as part of the series. If anything, it's a spiritual predecessor.

Mario's Tennis is part of the Mario Tennis series

 * 1) The main and arcade games of Mario Kart are made by different developers, Namco Bandai Holdings for arcade and Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development for main, but they are still considered in the same series. Same with the Mario Party arcade games; they are all in the same series. Therefore, I believe Mario's Tennis is, in fact, part of the Mario Tennis series.
 * 2) I do believe this game did kickstart the Mario Tennis series so that is a definite yes.
 * 3) It is Mario Tennis, duh.
 * 4) I see where you're headed, but this is like saying that Golf and NES Open Tournament Golf isn't part of the Mario Golf series. Per Koopakoolklub and Pwwnd123.
 * 5) Despite not actually being the "real" start to Mario Tennis games, the 64 was a sequel, as it was even going to be called "Mario's Dream Tennis''.

Comments
The thing is, for the Mario Party series, the developers at Hudson were mostly the same team that became Nd Cube. For the Mario Kart series, it's even been debated that the Arcade series should be separated. MarioComix (talk) 20:37, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
