Think Venus and Serena are hot stuff? Check out Mario and his mad tennis skills in the new Mario Tennis: Power Tour for the Nintendo GBA!

Tennis Moves with Mario

You kick off the main chunk of Mario Tennis: Power Tour by creating your very own tennis diva (boy or girl) and diving headfirst into a ton of games against the greatest tennis players in the Mushroom Kingdom. You'll be mastering your game, and learning new moves, as you challenge Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and more all-star players!

Awesome Action in Mario Tennis: Power Tour

The best part of Mario Tennis: Power Tour is that it's a good game of tennis. The action is solid, the controls are good and the computer can put up a good fight. There are also mini-games that power-up your game with new moves and you can challenge up to four friends to multiplayer matches by plugging in link cables.

Crushing Defeat for Mario Tennis: Power Tour

Butt-ugly players are the biggest problem. No, not you! The graphics for the tennis players look like someone dipped ‘em in gunk. The opponents are a bit goofy too. They're usually solid but occasionally they space out and just stare at the ball as it bounces past ‘em.

Game, Set, Match in Mario Tennis: Power Tour?
