===Mario Tour (story mode)===
===Mario Tour (story mode)===
In Mario Tour, the player takes control of [[Alex]] or [[Nina (Mario Tennis series)|Nina]]. They are the new students trying to make their way up the ranks at the [[Royal Tennis Academy|Royal Academy]], a school for tennis. At the beginning of the game, the player gets to choose whether they are going to play singles or doubles matches, and can change between either whenever they want. The player's partner can be either [[Harry (Mario Tennis series)|Harry]] or [[Kate]].

Alex's doubles partner is [[Harry (Mario Tennis series)|Harry]], and Nina's is [[Kate]].


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 the [[Island Open]]. After the Island Open the player can face Mario in singles on the [[Castle Court]]; in doubles, both Mario and Peach.
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. As a new student, the player starts in the Junior Class. The goal is to advance to the Senior Class, and then to the Varsity Squad. Eventually, they can earn a spot on the academy's travelling team and enter the [[Island Open]]. After the Island Open the player can face Mario in singles on the [[Castle Court]]; in doubles, both Mario and Peach.


As the player progresses through the ranks, the player gets to increase their characters ability in different areas (similar to an [[RPG]]).
As the player progresses through the ranks and gains experience, the player gets to increase their characters ability in different areas (similar to an [[RPG]]). The four areas that can be improved are Speed, Power, Spin, and Control. Leveling each ability increases a series of related stats, while neglected abilities can have their stats decay.

With a copy of ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], a Nintendo 64, a [[Transfer Pak]], and a copy of ''Mario Tennis'' for the GBC, it is possible to transfer information between the two versions of the game. Characters from the Game Boy Color game can be transferred to the Nintendo 64 game and vice-versa.
With a copy of ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], a Nintendo 64, a [[Transfer Pak]], and a copy of ''Mario Tennis'' for the GBC, it is possible to transfer information between the two versions of the game. 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.


==Characters==
==Characters==
All characters have different statistics, making each of them unique. Most characters need to be unlocked by beating them in the Mario Tour. Some ''Mario'' characters need to be unlocked by a N64 Transfer Pak. The N64 Transfer Pak characters are not usable in the 3DS version. Below is a full list of all of the characters in the game. The nine ''Mario'' characters were taken from the N64 version while six playable characters need to be unlocked.
===Playable characters===
All characters have different statistics, making each of them unique. [[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.

|align="left"|"''Some may call fault with Mario Tennis’s stripped multiplayer functionality and chopped roster, but those who never knew what was possible to be unlocked in the original version might never even realize the possibilities are missing. Mario Tennis still provides an amazingly tight and fun portable experience with a skillful shot system and an engaging RPG-like motif. So what if Mario doesn’t register as much? He’ll just have to make do with golf, baseball, football, every Olympic sport.''"

Mario Tennis is a tennis game initially released for Game Boy Color. It is the second direct Mario Tennis game in the series, and the first handheld game in the series. The game features an RPG-like story mode, in which the player controls either Alex or Nina in a quest to become the top tennis player and beat the best player of all, Mario. The game has seen later releases on Nintendo 3DS as a Virtual Console title and Nintendo Switch through Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online.

Play modes[edit]

Mario Tennis has several different modes. The modes are Mario Tour, Exhibition, Linked Play, and Mario Minigames.

Mario Tour (story mode)[edit]

In Mario Tour, the player takes control of Alex or Nina. They are the new students trying to make their way up the ranks at the Royal Academy, a school for tennis. At the beginning of the game, the player gets to choose whether they are going to play singles or doubles matches, and can change between either whenever they want. Alex's doubles partner is Harry, and Nina's is Kate.

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. As a new student, the player starts in the Junior Class. The goal is to advance to the Senior Class, and then to the Varsity Squad. Eventually, they can earn a spot on the academy's travelling team and enter the Island Open. After the Island Open the player can face Mario in singles on the Castle Court; in doubles, both Mario and Peach.

As the player progresses through the ranks and gains experience, the player gets to increase their characters ability in different areas (similar to an RPG). The four areas that can be improved are Speed, Power, Spin, and Control. Leveling each ability increases a series of related stats, while neglected abilities can have their stats decay.

Exhibition[edit]

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[edit]

Linked Play is just like Exhibition Mode, except that the player plays against another human player instead of a computer. Linked Play requires two Game Boy Colors, two copies of Mario Tennis for the GBC, and a link cable. This mode was removed from the 3DS Virtual Console release due to multiplayer support being removed.

Mario Minigames[edit]

This is a group of minigames presented by various Nintendo characters. Minigames are unlocked when their respective characters are unlocked, meaning that four of them need a Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak to be unlocked and as a result cannot be unlocked on 3DS Virtual Console. The minigames include:

Name Image Character Used Description
Boo Blast Boo blast.png Mario This minigame sees Mario rallying a ball with Luigi, trying to hit Boos that hover above the net. The score doubles with each hit for a maximum of 128 points per hit.
Shooting Star Luigi in his Shooting Stars mini-game of Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color. Luigi This game involves playing as Luigi to smash stars. More points are collected for each consecutive hit.
Perfect Shot Used in case of images missing from a section gallery, table, bestiary box, or certain infoboxes. Princess Peach
Target Shot Baby Mario Target Shot.png Baby Mario In this game, Baby Mario must hit the ball into the targeted area. Hitting the appropriate shot will deliver more points.
Banana Bunch MarioTennisGBC DKMinigame.png Donkey Kong Donkey Kong must bounce a ball on a wall with Banana panels on it. The panels give out points based on the amount of Bananas on it.
Fruit Fantasy MarioTennisGBC YoshiMinigame.png Yoshi Yoshi must aim the ball at various panels of fruit. Different fruit give different points.
Treasure Box Used in case of images missing from a section gallery, table, bestiary box, or certain infoboxes. Wario

Nintendo 64 transfer[edit]

With a copy of Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, a Nintendo 64, a Transfer Pak, and a copy of Mario Tennis for the GBC, it is possible to transfer information between the two versions of the game. 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.

Characters[edit]

Playable characters[edit]

All characters have different statistics, making each of them unique. Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Baby Mario, as well as new characters Allie, Joy, and 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 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 Nintendo Switch Online version features the transfer-only characters unlocked by default, which therefore allows the Warehouse Court to be unlocked.

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Game Boy Color Frank Provo, GameSpot 8.2/10 "There is no doubt going to be a minor debate over which of the two games, Mario Tennis or Virtua Tennis, is better. Thanks to quality gameplay and Nintendo's rich stable of character designs, Mario Tennis goes toe-to-toe with Sega's game in every conceivable way. To discuss which is better is a moot point. Nintendo comes at you with familiar faces and more unique modes, while Sega's game counters with real tennis pros and slightly more accurate gameplay. Don't let its happy looks and age-appropriate gameplay fool you. Mario Tennis hits hard and fast."
Nintendo 3DS Tim Latshaw, Nintendo Life 8/10 "Some may call fault with Mario Tennis's stripped multiplayer functionality and chopped roster, but those who never knew what was possible to be unlocked in the original version might never even realize the possibilities are missing. Mario Tennis still provides an amazingly tight and fun portable experience with a skillful shot system and an engaging RPG-like motif. So what if Mario doesn't register as much? He'll just have to make do with golf, baseball, football, every Olympic sport."
