Mario Tennis may be overflowing with fluffy Nintendo mascots, cute color schemes and catch phrases like, "Here-a-we-go-a!" but with that said Camelot Planning has done a great job of staying true to the rules of the real sport. Adorable, cuddly characters -- more than 16 familiar faces in all (plus several new newbies acquired through the GB Transfer Pak) -- compete in your standard Tournament and Exhibition modes complete with multiple sets, singles, and doubles play. The regulations are all spot-on with the real thing, right down to the fact that the out-of-bounds lines change depending on whether or not you play the singles or doubles modes and if you fault twice on a serve you give up a point to your opponent.

The screen may be smaller, but Mario Tennis is every bit as fun on Game Boy Color as it is on Nintendo 64. In fact, after a few hours of playing this portable Pak you might even think that it's better! Created by the same team who developed the N64 version, Mario Tennis for Game Boy Color is much different than its 64-bit brother. The play control is still awesome and the tennis action is as fast-paced as ever, but the Game Boy version features a rich RPG-style approach to the gameplay.

Mario Tennis has a number of modes that gamers should be familiar with. There is the exhibition mode, used when you to play a quick game. You can play with up to four players for a two on two doubles match. If you don't have anyone to play with you can play against a bot that has four degrees of difficulty. If you don't have anyone to play with you'll want to check out the Tournament mode. In this mode you'll battle your way up the ladder to become the star of the Mario Tennis circuit.

Much like Mario Golf GB/N64 games, Mario Tennis (GB) has four characters ready for you to train, and eventually mold into near-unbeatable tennis players. Alex, Nina, Harry, and Kate's skills can be improved by gaining experience from winning games or completing other tasks in Story Mode. When you think you have a star player, he or she can be used in Mario Tennis (N64) via the GB Transfer Pak.

Designed to look and play like the N64 version of this title, Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color features several familiar Nintendo characters in a fairly realistic tennis simulation. Some characters are available for play initially and many others are unlocked as the player achieves various goals. The player's character gains experience as he or she wins competitions and can use this to improve different tennis skills and abilities. The N64 Transfer Pack allows developed characters to be transferred from the Game Boy Color cartridge to the console and a link cable allows two handheld gamers to go head-to-head or compete together against a computer-controlled doubles team. ~ T.J.
