Mario Tennis: Power Tour reviews

Recently replayed this on a GBA SP and it’s really amazing how the big N has simply moved beyond the RPG elements present in their GBA sports titles.    The addition of a simple story just adds so much to the game, and keeps you motives to continue the fairly lengthy single player campaign.  Golf Story on the Switch was a pretty good tribute to that, but I really wish Nintendo would give it another go with their various sports titles.

Mario Tennis: Power Tour is one of the strangest and greatest things to ever happen to Mario sports games. The main difference is that instead of focusing on the Mario crew, the game focuses on Clay, Ace, and a whole slew of random characters. Not only this, but they have added a bunch of RPG-style stats and mini-games to increase those stats. The gameplay is complex without being overly flashy and keeps the main game of tennis at the heart. All this with a mild story and a great finale makes this game stand out among the rest.
