This game will only work in a Nintendo 3DS machine and is not compatible with a standard Nintendo DS console.

The Special Games mode in Mario Tennis Open lets players hone their tennis skills while enjoying tennis games with a Mario twist. Players can check out games such as Super Mario Tennis, which puts a classic Super Mario Bros. twist on tennis drilling. As they play through familiar game levels, they can use their tennis swing to stomp Goombas, and Koopas along the way. People can play as their favourite characters from the Mushroom Kingdom or even compete as their Mii characters. They can also customise their Mii characters with Mushroom Kingdom-themed tennis gear, which not only enhances players appearances but also can boost their stats. The wide selection of available gear includes Bowser's favourite racket, a Bullet Bill outfit and Peach's tennis shoes. In addition to a singles tennis match mode, another mode in the game lets up to four players compete online in multiplayer doubles matches. Players can also compete online for leaderboard standings in the Open Match mode. Whether playing with other Nintendo 3DS owners in the same room or against distant competitors using a wireless broadband internet connection, players can cooperate to take on a common opponent or stay competitive and try to claim the glory for themselves. Players can opt to use intuitive touch-screen controls or increase their strategic options with traditional button controls. They can also switch seamlessly to the Nintendo 3DS system's built-in motion controls.

Good clean fun

[Highly rated reviewer]

Great little title, If your looking for a serious tennis sim then look elsewhere but as it stands Mario Tennis Open is a very addictive pick up and play game.

At first glance the game looks very limited with only 4 cups to win and a handful of minigames, However winning cups with different players unlocks different items for your Mii character to wear and unlocking these items becomes fairly addictive. The minigames are also very addictive and good fun.

All in all Mario Tennis Open is well worth your time, might not be everyone's cup of tea but at least try it and find out for yourself.
