Play Mario Power Tennis Online

Mario Power Tennis on the Game Boy Advance was developed by Camelot and published by Nintendo. It arrived during a time when the GBA library was full of inventive sports titles, and this one fit right in with its colorful take on tennis.

You control Mario and other familiar characters, moving them around the court to hit the ball back and forth. The main goal is to win matches by outscoring your opponents in standard tennis games or special gimmick courts. Two key mechanics are the power shots, unique special moves for each character that you charge up and unleash, and the Gimmick Courts, which introduce obstacles like piranha plants or shifting platforms that change how you play. The game moves at a brisk pace, and the computer opponents can put up a decent challenge, especially in later tournaments. It feels satisfying to time a perfect power shot and watch it zip past your rival.
