this is a fun little game by nintendo, very well put together. it's a pretty diverse game too, for the less-than-diverse game that is tennis. a lot of different matches to play, different modes / minigames, lots of different opponents to beat. it's a pretty easy game to beat, even a very mediocre gamer like myself is able to finish it in a few weeks.

what is not cool about this game is the extremely tedious and boring rpg, the endless annoying conversation between matches that you can not skip, but have to plow your way through. aaarghhhhhh it sucks! another minor point is that some of the power shots are almost impossible to see coming, let alone block, and can only be countered by using a defensive powershot. and why can opponents do curve shots all the time, but we can not?

other than that, this is one of my favorite games on the gba, still the greatest little system available, with an unbeatable catalogue.

Kinda Simple but Same Mario Tennis Fun

Overall the game is a good one considering it is a GBA game, and it is mario. I personally have liked all of the tennis this is, the first handheld tennis game I have appreciated

Good Tennis Game, But....

My kids really enjoyed the tennis play. And this worked real well with my plan of teaching them to play tennis (in real life!) b/c I've found that they master a game (or at least the rules) on the playground much faster if they have a game to play at night. But... we were disapointed to find that if you play this game on the DS, you have to restart from the beginning every time (no saving) & there's no "quick game" to get you right into the tennis play. This is a story-based game that tends to be more story than tennis.

It's cool!

This is Mario Tennis,this game is realy fun. you could play multiplayer, and other two games in it to. There is power tour, exhibition, and training. you get lots of new peaple, but the ones that stay here are, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Donky Kong and Waluigi. The point obout power tower you have to find your way to the tennis players to play tennis, There is also training to. And exhibition is, just playing tennis. you could use the SP, DS and the gameboy but the psp I dont no abuut that. I almost forgot, The people also have Power-Ups THIS GAME IS SO MUCH FUN!

This game is incredibly fun! You have a choice of going on a power tour, Playing an exhibition game, or do some training. The good thing about power tour is that you make your own character and use him to go up ranks in Junior, Senior, and Varsity classes. If you were successful with those, you take a trip to the island open. If you win the island open, Mario invites you to Peach's arena which is up in the clouds, and play unstoppable exhibition games.

The good thing about Exhibition games is that that you a variety of choices after you've completed the power tour. You have Mario, Luigi, Peach, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Bowser, any players you've made, and kids that you've beaten during the power tour. You can choose doubles or singles"(Doubles is much more fun)". Your opponents' or partner's skills could be be Novice, Intermediate, Expert, and Pro.

Pros.

-A lot of characters
-A lot of varieties
-You could do training to build up your character
-you could choose 4 different levels for your opponents
-you can choose 5 different kinds tennis courts
-the power tour is so adventurous
-Characters have power ups

Cons.

-Exhibition does'nt have Yoshi or Wario
-You can't have Two against one
-the power tour characters are really stupid looking

Great portable tennis.

I find this game better than other tennis games because I think the rpg elements bring a lot of depth to an otherwise above average sports title.
If you liked Mario Golf for the GBA then you'll like this game.
Once you've finished the main story there's still a lot of replay value left in the exhibition matches feature.

Mario Power Tennis, the best yet!

I never expected that this game would be so much fun. Having played the old gameboy color version of mario tennis, i figured that this version would be more a or less an updated version of the game, but wow was I wrong! There are new moves, special ones that is, one for each mario character, and the graphics are incredible, considering the power of the GameBoy Advance Sp, the game looks like an N64 typer! Overall, this is the ideal GameBoy Sp game. If only all the Sp games were like Mario Tennis power tour!

Cool game! Mario Rocks!

This game rocked. I loved the first game and I also liked how they built on that story. You can make your own character and train hard. Unlike the original, you can do all training sessions over and there are power shots. Buy to find out what these are. There is more excitement, better graphics, more to do. Best part: you can run inside! Corniness aside, this game rocks. The island open is cool too. The only things I didn't like were:

1. Only one island open.
2. Spent years listening to characters talk.
3. Couldn't fit my name on the lines. (5 letters max)
4. Nothing to do after you're done with the game, unless you can play against friends. (This is true with ALL mario games!)
5. Couldn't choose clothes or make character different skin colors. Not everyone's white Mario!!!

Those are the only drawbacks. If the game still sounds good, get it. Promise you won't regret it!

Buy it now! Play it forever! By Bridget

Mario Tennis Power Tour will keep you on the edge of your seat playing your tennis matches. Mario Tennis Power Tour is great for kids and young teens. If there were more than five stars it would be one million. You can buy this wonderful game for Gameboy SP and its rated E for everyone.
Mario Tennis Power Tour will improve your hand eye coordination. As with many video games this game helps you improve your use of strategies. After a while you know when and how to throw a player off guard and win a point. I know after a while I learned which way to hit the ball and how hard it needs to be hit in order to beat your opponents. (...)it's well worth the money.
Mario Tennis Power Tour is the best game ever. It is worth way more than five stars.

It's so cool and I won the whole game

I won this game! I won the peach dome(after you win Open Island). Anyway,enough about the bragging. It is so cool! Elroy was hard and I only beat him once. And I guess I should'nt have bragged because I set it on Easy :( The best part is playing as Paula. These players are in vararsity so you probably don't know them unless you got there. When I was facing Will(in Open Island) he was TOUGH! And my character was lv.41 when I faced him. I was on singles. When I played him on doubles HE WAS TOUGHER! Tori was easy on singles. Enough about the memories. Now I'll talk about the bad and good things on a list.
GOOD THINGS:
It is fun after you beat the game
Play as many characters on the exibitation
Go up levels
Train(you have to be a senior to get PS)
Have good times
Pkay as a girl\boy
Prove against Clay that you are strong(or Ace if you played as boy,I name mine Mely because I am a girl and I played as a girl)
Earn the championship
BAD THINGS:
You can never see the masked players
You can never play against Alex
You can't save the game in the middle of a match without starting over.
C-YA!
