Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64) |ROM-DOWNLOAD

Story

Mario Tennis doesn’t have a traditional story-driven campaign. It’s not really about competitive tennis and progressing thru tournaments. Players can choose a character from the roster and play various tennis matches. The aim is to defeat opponents, win matches and advance in tournaments. The visual identity of the game is one that comes from the Mario universe, with familiar characters popping up on colorful tennis courts. Rather than a scripted narrative, the player’s own progression comes from improving their tennis skills and winning tougher and tougher matches.

Gameplay

Mario Tennis follows the same rules as tennis, but has an arcade-style game play. Then players take control of their chosen character, moving around the court and returning the ball to their opponent. Timing is one of the most important elements in the game. Players can make stronger and more accurate shots when they hit the ball at the right time. Poor returns or missed opportunities can be the result of bad timing. Players can use a variety of types of shots, such as normal shots, topspin, slices, lobs and drop shots. Each shot has a different purpose. So players can develop tactics according to the position of their opponent. Positioning is also very important. Players must be able to foresee the path of the ball and get into the right position before the return ball. In doubles, strategy becomes a different animal as two players share each side of the court. A lot of it is good positioning and co-ordination.
