 Mario Tennis Game Boy Colour Game Review
Mario Tennis is a seriously challenging game of tennis wrapped up in a cute package.
Mario is hiding inside the game, along with Luigi, Donkey Kong, Baby Mario, and others from the Mushroom kingdom as extra characters you can play as or take on through exhibition games and additional mini-game challenges.
You'd expect a kiddie version of tennis with a game like Mario Tennis, something that offers big paddles, prisma-coloured power ups, and playground physics wrapped up in a game that has more in relationship with Ping Pong than the real sport.

Mario Tennis may be overflowing with fluffy Nintendo mascots, cute color schemes and catch phrases like, "Here-a-we-go-a!" but with that said Camelot Planning has done a great job of staying true to the rules of the real sport.
Mario Tennis delivers a solid single-player experience with lots of hidden secrets to keep you coming back for more, but it's the title's unsurpassed multiplayer experience that immortalizes it as one of the best games you can get for your Nintendo 64.
Mario is always spouting off with his traditional, "It's-a-[insert whatever here]" and "Momma-mee-a!" while bigger characters like Donkey Kong let out the standard apish roar when they win a set.

Though these minigames were obviously meant to help new players improve their tennis skills, we had a lot of fun with them, and we imagine gamers will spend a good amount of time just messing around with these side games before going back to the main tennis mode.
Outside of the regular match play, Mario Power Tennis features a number of amusing minigames that are entertaining in themselves and also help to improve your skills in the main game.
Overall, we found the gameplay exceptionally easy to get a feel for, but also challenging enough that this ought to be a tennis game that's enjoyable for players of just about any age.

 Review - Mario Power Tennis // Gamecube /// Eurogamer
Tennis games are fantabulous little things precisely because the people making them recognise the importance of holding on to that unrealistic, forgiving, overly fast-paced approach and introducing depth and realism on levels that don't mess with the fundamentals.
Tennis games needn't be so bothered about maturing in all the fundamental ways, and Mario Power Tennis plainly isn't.
Mario Power Tennis is the girl with the goofy glasses who was always intelligent to begin with and then gets made over and suddenly becomes a sex object.

 Mario Power Tennis GameCube Review - CGN
A tennis match played on a gimmick court can get out of hand very fast for one side if the player does not hit the right levers, step on the right pads, or smash the ball on the right squares.
If your character is far away from the tennis ball he or she will pluck it out of the air with a vacuum (Luigi), dive through a bed of flowers (Daisy), or possibly even turn into a fast-moving egg and chase it down (Yoshi).
We demonstrated Mario Power Tennis to a group of non-gamers who were very familiar with the original, and they all agreed that MPT looked ‘way too complicated’ and fired up the old N64 without even giving MPT a trial play.

The basic rules of tennis still apply: matches can be played as singles (one player versus another) or doubles (one team of two players versus another team of two players), with each match divided into one, three, or five sets with up to three games per set.
Aside from the wacky tennis courts, the main draw of Mario Power Tennis is the many Mushroom Kingdomites who are participating in the tennis tournament.
Rounding out the basic tennis mayhem is the Ring Shot in which players earn points for lobbing shots through rings that float above the net, with point totals determining the winner of the match.
