Mario Tennis: Power Tour

Mario Tennis: Power Tour (Mario Power Tennis in Europe) is Camelot's tennis game for Game Boy Advance. Unlike other entries, it includes an RPG-style story mode where you control a student, Clay or Ace, who climbs the ranks of the tennis academy.

How It Plays

Besides the story mode, the game keeps the series' arcade tennis formula and adds special shots.

• RPG story mode: choose Clay or Ace and level up by training and competing until you reach a major tournament. Mario characters do not appear in this mode.

• Power Shots: this entry's novelty is its powerful special shots.

• Arcade tennis: fast, accessible matches true to the series' style.
