Super Mario Tennis is one of four special games in Mario Tennis Open. It is named after Super Mario Bros., which it reuses several assets from.
Gameplay
The minigame involves the player's character having to hit the tennis ball at enemies, coins, power-up items, and Brick Blocks on a screen, which also earns them points. The object of each level is to hit the Flagpole at the end with the ball. The minigame has a time limit that can be raised by earning points and coins. If the ball hits a Warp Pipe, either a sub-area or a different level is accessed. The lives are represented by how many tennis balls the character has left, so if they miss hitting a tennis ball, the character loses that tennis ball.
Playing the minigame can earn a few unlockables. Baby Mario can be unlocked by completing level 1-3. A Wario costume can be unlocked by completing level 1-4 with at least 800 coins, and a Waluigi costume can be unlocked by completing level 2-4 with at least 800 coins.
