EAN: 0045496731298 ESRB Age Rating: Everyone Platform: Game Boy Color Variation Description: Mario Tennis Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Connors, McEnroe, Sampras--all are OK players, but none can hold a racket to the world's greatest plumber-tennis champ, Mario. But, with enough practice, and a devastating overhead smash, you can work your way up to the championship cup. Mario Tennis's exhibition mode puts you in the Tennis Academy, where you slowly build up your character's skills (doubles or singles). As you rise in the ranks by challenging other characters and upgrading your equipment, you'll play eventually against Mario himself. You can play as one of many Nintendo mascots, including Donkey Kong, Luigi, and Princess Peach. There also are a few minigames that will sharpen your skills and can unlock other levels. If you find a human partner, you can play against his or her copy of the game easily by way of a link cable. The fast and furious on-court action is easy to follow, despite the tiny characters. The ball flies smoothly, and each opponent plays differently enough to be a challenge every time. However, your Game Boy might suffer a tremendous beating from the furious button-mashing that's needed to win the match. One fault with Mario Tennis is its horrid sound effects, which will have most folks quickly reaching for the volume controls. Still, if you have patience and strong thumbs, Mario Tennis serves up a mean game that's easily one of the better sports tiles to grace the Game Boy. --Mark Brooks Pros:
Amazon.com Product Description: Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color was created by the same team that developed the Nintendo 64 version of the game. Unlike the Nintendo 64 version, though, this match takes place inside a tennis academy. Players create their own characters, and then play matches to gain experience points. These points can be used to increase the abilities of your player or your doubles partner. Inside the academy, you can grab a snack at the café, relax in your dorm room, upgrade your equipment at the repair counter, or even exercise in a workout room. If you're looking to jump right into the action, the exhibition mode will put you on the court against characters like Mario, Yoshi, and Bowser. If you have the Nintendo 64 version and the Transfer Pak, you can upload your character and watch as he or she transforms from pixels to polygons. With the game link cable, you can connect to a friend's copy of Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color and compete head-to-head. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Helps teach scoringThis is great game I have had it since i was 11 or 10 and now im 15 and i just started playing it again. I am playing it again because i am trying out for my high school tennis team and this game really teaches you the rules and the scoreing and its really fun!!! Rating:  - Best Gamebay Game EVER!!!I have owned this game for a long time and it never gets boring. I first got it when I had a Gameboy Color. Now I have a Gameboy Advance SP and I still play it more than any other games I have for the Gameboy Advance (such as Mario Kart or Pokemon Emerald). If you are thinking about getting this game I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend getting the N64 version and a Transfer Pak. Although the game is awesame, it doesn't do too well graphically speaking and seeing the character you made in 3D and playing ... Read More Rating: - Mario Tennis: Best Game for the Game Boy EVER!!I first played Mario Tennis at my friends house, on his N64. It was pretty fun, difficult at first, but I got the hang of it. Aiming the ball is very tricky at first (I can't get my dad to figure it out), but after a few hours you'll be aiming as if it were natural. I didn't have an N64 at the time, so I bought the Game Boy version. At first I was disappointed by the small selection of characters, but when I started playing the Mario Tour (the actual game, not the practice or Mini game) I really enjoyed ... Read More Rating: - best out there!This game is great. There are practically no flaws. You desine a character (male or female) and play to reach the top. you work your way to the senior level of the school (classes are based on skill not age). Then play doubles with your partner to get to the senior class. then just kick but at the tournaments. What's also cool is if you still have an N64 you can load your character and play. Or find and friend link up and paly doubles or against each other. you can also hit ever way, slice, top spin, ... Read More Rating: - Mario Tennis: Gamedoy colerThis is one of the best games made for the gameboy coler. The gameplay is great and it's pretty tough. I love the level up feature and the free roaming feature. But I found that the only way to beat it is to train your charecter on the N64 using the N64 transfer pack. |
