This 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.

In this GBC version of Mario Tennis,You can do an exibition,mario tour,or play mini games wich you uncover when you do the make your own character.If you don't understand a word they use in tennis like "volly" for example,you can look it up in a dictionary they put in there.In mario tour you pick if you want to be a boy or a girl and then you name it and you also name your doubles partner.You live in a dorm and you go to a tennis academy.You start off is juniors,then seniors,and then your on the traveling team.In the exibition you can play singles or doubles,you pick what character you want and who you want to play against and their skill level.In the mini game mode,you get to play mini games that you've unlocked in mario tour.This is a fun game and I recomend it if you have a GBC.

I have played the N64 mario tennis and it is awesome! But this game is nothing like the N64 version. This game is boring and only has a few characters from the Mario series. The graphics are okay. I really hope they come out with a Mario Tennis For the GameBoy Advance that is more realistic. I am also very Happy they are coming out with mario Golf Advance Tour.

I bought this for myself because my friend had the N64 version and I really liked it! This is totally differant than the N64 version. It has a lot less characters (only Baby Mario, Donkey Kong and Luigi) but the real game is VERY fun! I found the doubles very easy until the versity but singles are not so. I highly recommend this game.

Mario tennis. While this is a very easy game to learn it is not especially realistic to an experienced tennis player. While i admit that mario tennis is fun for a while it is not anything like "Real" tennis. When I first get the game and went to play exhibition mode with "Mario and his Friends" i was disgusted find only: Luigi, Baby Mario and DK (Mario and Peach can be unlocked in Tour mode)and the play does not exacly blow you off your feet. It seems at first more like a big game of ping-pong than tennis.
The game becomes more fun when you enter "Mario Tour" though. You are invited to join the "Royal Tennis Academy" to train for your tennis. You start out in the junior class in both singles and doubles and have to work your way up to the senior class (done so by winning matches and beating the top ranked player in the class) and then to the varsity court and then to traveling team. I must point out that the play is extremely easy through the first three classes (the first time i played tour mode i didn't lose a game until the traveling team.)Then the fun begins. You go to the island open to compete, win the tournament and become top ranked at the academy. You are then invited to go challenge Mario "The Greatest Player Ever" (the over statement of the centuary) you beat him, beat the game. 3 hours tops and you've beaten the game and the fun of the game is gone. One good thing though is the people you play tour mode you can play in exhibition mode now.
My Biggest complaints are:
1. It is impossible to hit a winner from the baseline
2. It is impossible to miss (serves included)
3. Until you get your tour player to about level 50 you can't win a point without comming to net (because you cannot hit the ball hard enough from the baseline.)
I know that this is about as close to a "real tennis game" as you can get for gameboy color. but if you have a gameboy advance any one of the 4 tennis games for that is better than this.
The bottom line is if you're looking for something with mario charecters this is for you. But if you're looking for something real this is not.
My Huge reccomendation is that you go and check out "Tennis Masters Series" for the PC. It is really realistic and alot more competitive. You can check it out on amazon.com ...

This game rocks!It's so realistic, with exellent graphics. A fault I found is that if you let your partner control the outcome of the game too often, she or he will get too used to it and it becomes difficult to get the tennis ball. Other than that, this is a wonderful game. The sound is NOT a con (in your face!(s))

IT is a great game.Don't be fooled by it's cover.It is a fun game to play.It is one of the best games I've ever played.I recamend this game this game to anyone.

Camelot has done it again. Its work on Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64 was superb, and it carried right over to the Game Boy version. Starting off at a tennis academy, you have the opportunity to train, win championships, and gain experience levels for both you and your doubles partner. The more levels you gain, the more talented your player becomes. The play control is very good, especially for a Game Boy game. Graphics, sound, game play, they're all nearly perfect. Even if you're not a sports fan, this game should manage to captivate you. Its a very enjoyable game that even can unlock hidden features on the Nintendo 64 version via the Transfer Pack. Get this game, you will enjoy it.
