Manufacturer's Description
Mario Power Tennis is the second in the series of New Play Control titles and will see the much loved Mario Power Tennis from Game Cube adapted to offer, this great game with all new controls on Wii.

The new controls allows you to, perform different strokes by flicking the Wii remote in the corresponding direction, utilising the motion sensitive controls, for Wii. A player can now charge up his power shot gauge by waiting and hitting the ball back at the latest possible moment. The game will now offer different levels of control types which increase in difficulty appealing to varied levels of gamers; Easy, Medium, Technical, & Difficult.
A tennis court where racquets can be substituted for giant mallets, and players need to dodge the on-court crocodiles even as they return their opponent's serve; it has to be Mario Power Tennis! Though he doesn't cut the most obvious of sporting figures, Mario's prowess on the tennis court is a wonder to behold

A DEFINTE ACE!,
This review is from: Mario Power Tennis (GameCube) (Video Game)
At first, I wasn't too sure about Mario Power Tennis but how wrong was I? It's a much improved version of the original N64 classic: the great, depth of the graphics, the fun and cheerful sounds, the voices of the characters, the sounds of the ball when it's hit and the all new ways to hit the ball like Power Shots - it's all very well done! And there's a lot more to choose from in the Special Games which are a lot of fun. It's obviously difficult to master but this is one game which will never tire you out - a worthy Purchase

Mario Power Tennis clearly surpasses it's predecessor,
This review is from: Mario Power Tennis (GameCube) (Video Game)
Mario Power Tennis clearly surpasses it's predecessor in nearly everything, and it is a very enjoyable game.Mario Power Tennis takes from the first game and builds upon it. This is what makes it such a success. It is as great as the first, with new features that make it even more enjoyable. I will describe some of the noticeable features of the game. The modes of play: Exhibition, Tournament, and special games. Exhibition is just a round against a computer or 2nd player. Tournament is where you can play through several different games and unlock new fields, features, etc. New fields allow for different types of tournaments, as they have different features to them, aptly called "gimmick courts". Take the Delfino Isle (Mario Sunshine) court for example. This is one of the hardest fields to play on that I have found so far. On this field, pirahna plants spit out goop and it slows your movement on the field, which you can clean off with the water buttons on the field. Special games are the highlight of the game for me. You can play a variety of mini-games, and unlock harder levels or even more mini-games. The mini-games are the highlight for me. You start off with many different fun and entertaining games, and can unlock a small amount more. My favorite that I have played is the painting one, where you have to hit paintballs onto a wall to color in a picture. The games get quite challenging when you get to the higher difficulties of them. There are usually 3 stages of difficulty on each, but some only have 2. There are 14 characters to start off with. They are: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Shy Guy, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Wario, Yoshi, Diddy Kong, Koopa Troopa, Waluigi, Boo, and Bowser Jr. There are also 4 other secret characters to be unlocked, but I will not reveal who they are at this time. Each charater has their own special moves, two a piece. These are executed by pressing "x" when the power of your racquet has filled. Each of the characters has a defensive and an offensive special move. The defensive can save your life by being able to hit the ball no matter how far you are away from it. Basically, it stops time and allows you to go hit the ball. The offensive lets out a large burst of power to hit the ball hard onto the other side. If the other player manages to hit it, then they are pushed far backwards from the impact. If you had fun with the first, you should really consider picking this up.

SMASH HIT!!,
By Mark (Newcastle, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mario Power Tennis (GameCube) (Video Game)
Mario Tennis is pure brilliant! I won't say too much but its fun to play, the graphics are the best I have seen on any console, its a challenge for you to play, four player is great fun and although the computer can pull off some neat tricks which will leave you bashing your mate in the head (lol), it does make it a challenge which is fun to do and some of the stuff the characters do is quite good too, even if they tend to get ya a few times near the end which may seem a cheat but least it keeps you on ya toes! Loads to win on too and the super moves, they are electric! A beautiful game to own!
