    Not bad, can't wait till it cames out on Gamecube.

    Mario Tennis has a good physics system, and a lot of characters to choose from. It is a great multiplayer game for the N64, but the limited number of modes unfortunately leads to the single-player experience feeling largely repetitive after a while. Despite this, it is still an enjoyable game, and one of the better spin-off sports games for any platform.

    No gimmickry, just a technically proficient tennis game with nice presentation and enough accessibility to appeal to all ages.

    Lifelike tennis action with whimsical Mario Bros.-style flair that's insanely addictive and provides more fun than you could possibly imagine.

    It must be understood that the 9 you see on the right in the Overall category of the review scores is a qualified 9. It's the highest possible 9 that can be given, mere micrometers away from a 10.

    If you ever thought you'd see a fun Tennis game, this is certainly it, and probably one of the most fun games in any genre.
