Product Description

Enlist some of your favorite characters from the Mario universe for a game of doubles in Mario Tennis. Boo, Daisy, Bowser--even new character Waluigi, brother of Wario--and more are here for a game that sets accurate tennis physics in an unpredictable fantasy world. Where else could you play tennis on a court surrounded by lava? Play solo or with up to three friends simultaneously. Exhibition Mode provides a friendly, straightforward game, while Tournament Mode will settle the bets. There's also a Ring Shot Mode, a tennis variant that has players trying to send balls through as many golden rings as they can. Review Nintendo certainly has added a quirky spin on the old English game with Mario Tennis. With 16 classic Nintendo characters on hand, ranging from Bowser to Baby Mario, the crux of the game is the standard game of tennis, with its break points, deuces, and double faults, but also with the added bonus of power-ups and special moves. The game revolves around the individual players, and, as in other Mario adventures, the characters all have their own strengths and weaknesses. Bowser is great for the sheer strength and his powerful smashes, while other characters survive on speed and agility, rather like in Mario Kart or Mario Golf. With Exhibition, Tournament, and Multiplayer modes, the game does have a number of options to keep you busy. The chance to play with up to three other players makes this game great to play with your friends. With this game, Nintendo has done to tennis what it did to kart racing and golf, by producing a fun spin on what's not usually the most fun in computer games. This is how tennis should be: super smashes, special combos, and Mario running around in circles. --Stuart Miles -- Amazon.co.uk
