Default Details on Mario Tennis

Well, it seems for some odd reason Nintendo has decided to delay the game into 2005 for whatever reason, but eh.

The game seems to be a whole lot more Mario-esque wuth what seems like tons of Mario modes thrown in.

KEY INFORMATION

The Mushroom Kingdom has hosted tennis tournaments before, but never one as explosive as this one. The wild multiplayer action of the smash Nintendo® 64 hit, Mario Tennis, returns with even more powerful shots and new, character-specific power-ups guaranteed to make for the craziest matches ever!

Choose your friends wisely. Power characters like Donkey Kong® and Bowser can hit insanely powerful Megaton Balls, finesse players like Shy Guy can use instant Tornado Returns and defensive masters like Luigi have all kinds of tricks in their bags!


With one- to four-player modes available, players of all ages can pick up the game and instantly start whacking tennis balls around, and yet a deep level of skill awaits those willing to master it. Build up more and more skill points as you play to use stronger and stronger shots with all kinds of spin!
Game Storyline: The stars of the Mushroom Kingdom are gathering for a tennis tournament, and the competition is going to be fierce!

Characters: Mario™, Luigi, Wario™, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi®, Shy Guy, Koopa Troopa, and other Mushroom Kingdom characters.

How to progress through the game: Play multiplayer games with your friends or progress through tougher and tougher tournaments in singles and doubles play. As you win tournaments, you'll unlock new characters, courts, and challenges.

Special powers/weapons/moves/features: With simple button combos, players can hit topspin, backspin and smashes, and by building up skill points and charging up, they can hit with varying degrees of power or perform other character-specific moves that make even crazier things happen on the court.


I would post screens, but no place to host em.

I love the new Luigi's Mansion course I also like Mario's specialty 'hammer racket'. I only like to rent sport themed games.
