Mario Tennis (Europe)

Game Overview
Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64 came out in 2000, developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo. It was one of those late-era N64 games that really made use of the console's four controller ports, turning any living room into a makeshift tennis court. While other games were pushing into more complex 3D adventures, this one stuck to a straightforward sports concept but executed it with a lot of charm and precision.You choose from a roster of Mario characters, each with their own strengths, and compete in singles or doubles matches across a variety of courts. The main goal is to outmaneuver your opponent by placing shots they can't return. Key mechanics include timing your swings for topspin, slice, or flat shots, and using special moves that charge up as you play well. The game starts easy but the AI quickly demands better positioning and anticipation, especially in the higher cups. It feels responsive and competitive, whether you're playing alone or with friends.
