The combination of items, random appearances of Bowser, the over-powerful swipe hit, trick shots, and one-chance shots are just blissfully perfect. The gameplay speed is right on par with what action goes on.

Basically if you play Gamecube and you play Multiplayer often, you can't miss this title. It's like the frenzy of Mario Power Tennis without cheap shots.

I feel so bad I never posted my opinions on this game.. then again it was one of those games I was always busy playing.

But it is one of the top GameCube games, and in my opinion the 2nd best Mario sports game right behind Mario Tennis.

Lets just say its.. well great

I mean like Dyne mentions its a combination of like everything from other Mario games. The items from the Kart series (which makes the most amount of sense here as I don't think they worked that well in Tennis). The randomness of pure Mario? Going for a goal only for Bowser to titl the field the other way? Going for a super strike to get interrupted by a freeze shell?

And of course, the best part of the game to most people... the ability to check your foe into an eletric forcefield. I don't know if I have sick friends or if they just dislike the mario characters but its on of their favorite things.

Also for the most part, the game is really pick up and play. With maybe one or two exceptions most people were able to pick up and start playing like pros in no time.. even those who werte drunk or high.

Hahah had one kid offer me his xbox for the game.
