Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
To most people, the idea of bashing a fuzzy little ball around a court with a net in the way is their idea of hell, and for the most part, I'm sorry to say, but they could be right. Okay, so Wimbledon is great fun, but seriously, you can't be serious.

Well Nintendo, hope to change all this with Mario Tennis, a quirky spin on the old English game. With 16 characters to hand, ranging from Bowser to Baby Mario, the crux of the game is the standard game of tennis, with the break points, the deuces and the double faults, but with the added bonus of powerups and special moves. The game revolves around the individual players and like in other Mario adventures from Nintendo the characters all have their own strengths and weaknesses. Bowser is great for sheer strength and his powerful smashes, while others survive on speed and agility rather like Mario Kart or Mario Golf.

With Exhibition, Tournament and Multiplayer modes, the game does have a number of options to keep you busy and with the chance to play with up to three other players, this game is great to play with your friends.

Nintendo have done what they did to kart racing and golf and produced a fun spin on what unfortunately is not the most fun of games on the computer. This is how tennis should be: super smashes, special combos and Mario running around in circles. --Stuart Miles

- Quite Probably The Best Nintendo 64 Game Released!
I have owned most consoles released (sega/Sony/nintendo), but the only console that my mates beg me to keep down for late night beer filled gaming sessions is my N64. The main games played are Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64 and Killer instinct Gold but Mario Tennis Is first in the list. In single player mode it is very very entertaining; but in multiplayer this game comes into it's own. Up to 4 players (2 on each team in doubles) The control system is not limited and you can blast or chip the ball exactly where you aim on court. This game is great it sucks you in straight away and dosent let you go.

- One of the best sports sims around
This really is a fantastic game, for anyone who enjoys frantic multiplayer fun. Nintendo like to take well known genres and add some of their own magic to it and Mario Tennis is an example of this. The one player, as you'd expect, is not the best way to make use of the game. Ok, so you'll go through it a few times to unlock extras, but you're not going to go back to it too often afterwards. (I spent ages completing it with everyone, then someone erased the data. I really can't be bothered to do it again!)

However, the multiplayer is where it really comes into its own, especially with four players. The most frustrating part is when you get paired with someone rubbish, and you need to do double the work to keep in the match. It's ... Read More:

- Mario Tennis - good not great
I picked up mario tennis cos it had recieved many good reviews. The first thing u'll notice about this game is that it's very colourful and cute but don't let that put u off! This game is very playable but i did find it a bit too cute! (if ur over 15 u won't really like the look of this). Mario tennis has many play options including a ring shot, bowser court with mario kart type power ups and the usual singles + doubles matches! If u like cuteness get this game (it is good if u look beyond that) but if u have a dreamcast get virtua tennis! thanx 4 ur time!

- Great game
Mario Tennis is one of the best multiplayer games ever to be released. You can have hours of fun with yer mates. The single player mode however is a different story. There just arn't enough things to do, after youve beaten all the cups including the advanced ones, there's not much left. Great game, except not for loners.

- Mario Tennis - Fast and Furious action in your living room.
A Tennis game on your console? I could not imagine a tennis game could keep me entertained for very long. I remember Match Point on the ZX Spectrum. Very difficult to play, difficult to even return the ball at the start.

You can play Mario Tennis straight from the box. You can have decent rallies by just returning the ball (moving towards it and pressing A). Then you can add direction to the return. Very simply you can move on to power hitting and smashing. Top Spin and Slice all very easy to master.

The animation with the replays is very amusing but easily by-passed if you want to press on with the match.

My girlfriend loved it immediately and she hates computer games!

This game is a winner for all ages.
