Characters from the Game Boy Color game can be transferred to the Nintendo 64 game and vice-versa. This is not possible in the Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo Switch Online versions of the game, but the Nintendo Switch Online version makes all content that would been unlocked via transfer already unlocked. | ||

[[Luigi]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Baby Mario]], as well as new characters [[Allie]], [[Joy]], and [[Brian (Mario Tennis)|Brian]] are available from the start, but most characters need to be unlocked by beating them in the Mario Tour.

Some characters need to be unlocked by a N64 Transfer Pak. In total, there are 29 playable characters available in the game, with all new characters to the ''Mario Tennis'' series also making their first appearances in any game. Below is a full list of all of the characters in the game. Notably, [[Mario]] can only be played as after completing the Mario Tour, making this the first of the few games in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise where he is unlockable. Also, this is the only appearance of [[Waluigi]] in a Game Boy Color game. | ||
Characters and courts in this game, along with ''Mario Tennis'' on the Nintendo 64, can no longer be transferred while playing the [[Virtual Console]] release, as the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is not compatible with the Nintendo 64/Game Boy Color Transfer Pak. The [[Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online]] version features the transfer-only characters unlocked by default, which therefore allows the [[Warehouse Court]] to be unlocked. | |||
