    This game is the kind of fanservice any Sega fan should like.

    While one might validly think there's too much Sonic representation in comparison to other characters and franchises, there's still a nice balance of characters who nicely represent their respective franchises.

    The challenge mode is filled with fun romps, and one especially great one is Space Harrier. Alongside numerous other ones of course.

    If you like sports games, or hell, just like Sega's IPs in general, then this game is a must have for you. Heavily underrated and undernoted by the majority of the public, or disregarded as the handheld version. When in all reality this is just a fun game to play for hours on end. Highly recommend it to Sega fans of all kinds.    … Expand

    Control issues aside, Sega Superstars Tennis is swimming in clever game references and should be fun for even a casual Sega fan. [Apr 2008, p.89]

    As solid a tennis game SEGA Superstars Tennis ended up on the Nintendo DS, it feels far more hollow than a celebratory "Yay us!" game should be.

    An even larger frustration, though, is everyone's inability to recover lobs. In most tennis games, if you hustle you can often find some way to smack the ball back over the net, even if it's behind you. Here your characters just give up even if you are clearly within a reasonable rescue range.
