Mario's Tennis: Difference between revisions

'''''Mario's Tennis''''', initially known as '''''Mario's Dream Tennis''''' during development,<ref>[[Media:Nintendo Power - June 95.jpg|Nintendo Power Issue #73, June 1995]]</ref> is a game that was released as a launch title for the [[Virtual Boy]] in 1995. It is the first tennis-related ''Mario '' game, and would later be followed by the ''[[Mario Tennis (series)|Mario Tennis]]'' series. All playable characters that appeared in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] (with the exception of [[Bowser]]) were also playable in ''Mario's Tennis''. The cable that would have been used to connect two Virtual Boys together was never added due to poor Virtual Boy sales.

The basic shot in in ''Mario's Tennis'', this shot has a higher arch to it, and can be used by pressing the {{button|nes|A}} button. The shot is mainly used for regular, run-of-the-mill shot.

| colspan=3 | ''He is an average player whose court speed and leg strength are solid. His racquet contact area is average, and he relies on his skillful groundstrokes, though he will approach the net occasionally.''

| colspan=3 | ''His skill level and court strategy are similar to Mario's. He has better court coverage, though, due to being faster than Mario.''

| colspan=3 | ''The princess is slow, but her racquet contact area is large. She doesn't like to approach the net, preferring to instead rally from the baseline.''

| colspan=3 | ''He is the fastest of all the players, but his racquet contact area is small. He plays an aggressive type of game by rushing the net at every opportunity.''

| colspan=4 | ''Toad is quite quick on the court, but his racquet contact area is not very large. Like Yoshi, he tries to approach the net often. Though he is not strong, he has great court coverage because he can lunge at though shots.''

| colspan=4 | ''He is slower than all the other players, and also has a smaller racquet contact area. He is, however, understandably the most powerful of all the players. His strong groundstrokes allow him to win many points from the baseline.''
