How to Play

In Mario Tennis for Nintendo 64, your objective is to win tennis matches against opponents by scoring more points. You control a character from the Mario universe and must hit the ball back and forth across the net.

Use the control stick to move your character and press the A button for a standard shot or the B button for a lob. Timing is crucial - hitting the ball at the peak of its bounce or during a charge (by holding a button) results in a more powerful shot.

Each character has unique strengths and a special 'power shot' that can be unleashed when the meter is full, often turning the tide of a rally. The game features various court surfaces that affect ball bounce, adding a strategic layer.

In singles matches, focus on covering the entire court and anticipating your opponent's returns. In doubles, coordinate with your AI partner or human teammate to cover the net and baseline effectively.

The challenge escalates as opponents become more aggressive, requiring quick reflexes and smart shot placement to break their rhythm and secure victory.
