The score doubles with each hit for a maximum of 128 points per hit. This minigame sees Mario rallying a ball with Luigi, trying to hit Boos that hover above the net. Minigames are unlocked when their respective characters are unlocked, meaning that half of them need a Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak to be unlocked. This is a group of minigames presented by various Nintendo characters. This mode was removed from the 3DS Virtual Console release due to multiplayer support being removed. Linked Play requires two Game Boy Colors, two copies of Mario Tennis for the GBC, and a link cable. Linked Play is just like Exhibition Mode, except that the player plays against another human player instead of a computer. Both singles and doubles are available in Exhibition. The player may choose what character both they and the computer uses as well as the court and computer's difficulty level. In this mode, the player plays a single game of tennis. Leveling each ability increases a series of related stats, while neglected abilities can have their stats decay. The four areas that can be improved are Speed, Power, Spin, and Control. After the Island Open the player can face Mario in singles on the Castle Court in doubles, both Mario and Peach.Īs the player progresses through the ranks and gains experience, the player gets to increase their characters ability in different areas (similar to an RPG). Eventually, they can earn a spot on the academy's travelling team and enter the Island Open. The goal is to advance to the Senior Class, and then to the Varsity Squad.

As a new student, the player starts in the Junior Class. Higher ranks mean they can challenge better players. In Mario Tour, the player's character does exercises with coaches and plays against higher ranked players in order to get a higher rank for him or herself.

Alex's doubles partner is Harry, and Nina's is Kate. At the beginning of the game, the player gets to choose whether they are going to play singles or doubles matches, and can change between either whenever they want. They are the new students trying to make their way up the ranks at the Royal Academy, a school for tennis. In Mario Tour, the player takes control of Alex or Nina. The modes are Mario Tour, Exhibition, Linked Play, and Mario Minigames. Mario Tennis has several different modes.
