Information

Based on the sport of tennis, you have to hit the ball over the net so it lands on the opposite side of the court, and try to get it past your opponent. The opponent will return the ball in an attempt to do the same thing. If the ball does pass your opponent, you score points which can be used to win games, sets and matches. Win a match to move on to the next opponent.

If you fail to hit the ball over the net, it hits your character, or passes the opponent without touching their side of the court then the opponent gains points.

Cameos

Umpire Mario

The umpire who appears at the side of each match bears a striking resemblance to Mario.

While this cameo is fairly well known, it is especially notable for being the earliest known cameo appearance in any Nintendo game.
