Mario Tennis (マリオテニス64, Mario Tenisu 64, Mario Tennis 64) is a video game that was developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color in 2000.
A sports game in the vein of Mario Golf, Mario Tennis gathers allies and foes of Mario together to play tennis.
Through the use of an N64 Transfer Pak, a player could import his or her characters from the Game Boy Color version of Mario Tennis to the N64 game. It could also import the player's stats.
This game is notable for the introduction of Waluigi, an antagonist of Luigi that may be related to Wario, the reintroduction of Princess Daisy, and first-ever appearance of Birdo as a controllable character.
