The game case was sun bleached, causing the art work to be faded. Other than that the game was in good shape.

Game play is cool, but due to it being an old game, no one plays online anymore on this game.

This game is fun for the entire family. We’ve been enjoying playing it with the kids and by ourselves. Some characters are hard to control, but it’s very fitting for the chosen character (ex: Wario)

Review: Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash – Destructoid
Once upon a time, Mario Tennis was a national pastime at pretty much every household I visited.
Back in the year 2000 there weren’t a whole lot of alternative sports games outside of a few gems (I miss EA Sports Big), and the original Nintendo 64 game was pure magic. It even inspired me to play actual tennis for a full year in a league after taking lessons!
As the first follow-up to a console iteration since 2004 however, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash feels like it could have used more development time.
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (Wii U)
Developer: Camelot Software
Publisher: Nintendo
MSRP: $49.99
Release Date: November 20, 2015
There’s no two ways about it — Ultra Smash is a bare-bones game. If you came to this court expecting anything other than basic tennis, you will walk away disappointed. And even then, it doesn’t handle the basics as well as its predecessors.
There is a degree of strategy at work in Ultra Smash, just like in the past games in the series. Serves can be timed for greater effect, specific hits can be returned as direct counters (such as returning a topspin with a slice), while twitch movement and the ability to predict your opponent’s moves are still paramount to your success.
In that regard, nothing really has changed. You do have a few extra control options as the GamePad can mirror the TV (and I do mean “mirror,” as perspectives aren’t shifted for same-screen play, sadly) or function as a scoreboard. The Wii U Pro Controller and the Wii mote can also be used, though the latter does not feature motion support.
The core modes are Classic or Mega Battle, the latter of which just throws in a Mega Mushroom occasionally to allow your characters to grow larger for a limited time, with enhanced stats to boot. Yep, the big gimmick this time is a power-up, and only one of them, on top of the fact that only one player per side can get it at a time. There’s no story mode and no real experience to gain outside of coins (which unlock a mere four characters and courts paved with new material, like carpet) — what you see is what you get.
Other modes are just as paltry.
There’s the Mega Ball Rally, which tasks players with slicing a ball back and forth until someone (either another person or the CPU) screws up. It’s literally one round and then it’s over. It’s almost indistinguishable from the other modes. Then there’s the amiibo-based Knockout Challenge, which is the closest you’re going to get to a progression-based system. In short, you’ll be pitted against a crescendoing circuit of matches one after another, earning some bonus rewards (which again, can just be bought with coins) along the way. It’s basically Classic mode with the ability to play with an amiibo partner, without any of the amiibo depth from other games like Smash Bros.
I had a chance to try out online play before launch, and things seemed rather smooth, even if there are no lobbies or extras of any kind. It’s probably the only real shining light of this package, but even then, it feels odd that it’s a surprise for a Nintendo game to feature it in 2015. Of course there’s a caveat — you cannot play directly with friends.
And… that’s all you’re getting. If you can stomach playing classic mode for hours on end with someone local, you’ll probably find something to love here.
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash feels like it was rushed into the holiday season to mask the absence of Star Fox. You’re better off just playing any other previous game in the series, which is particularly easy to do since the first game is on the Wii U Virtual Console for just 10 bucks.

90,000 Uncover your rackets — Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash for Wii U launches November 20 | News
October 22, 2015 Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash , a Wii U-exclusive game coming to Europe on November 20, will give you a fresh look at the famous sport and even let you play it with amiibo . Compatible amiibo characters* can be your teammates in online doubles matches or help you defeat AI-controlled opponents in a knockout game.
The more matches an amiibo has with you, the more experience it will accumulate, and over time, the hero will become an incredibly powerful ally. nine0009
New faces such as Rosalina and seasoned players such as Luigi, Waluigi and Boo will step onto the court this time — there will definitely not be a dull moment in this Mushroom Kingdom tennis! In addition to standard tricks — twisting and slicing shots, including high serve — you will also have access to ultra-mixes, during which players literally soar into the sky and hit the ball with all their might — with very deplorable consequences for the opponent. Skilled tennis players will also be able to take advantage of the occasional colored Lucky Spots, which can deliver powerful mixes or devastating slashes that can’t be saved from these opponents! nine0009
Using multiple controller types — Wii U GamePad, Wii Remote, Wii U Classic Controller and Pro Classic Controller — up to four players can enjoy fun tennis matches in special game modes.
The game will also have the ability to change the camera angle, so now the entire court is perfectly visible regardless of your location. What’s more, the Wii U GamePad controller can be set to display a different part of the field than what’s shown on the TV, so both teams can keep an eye on the game from the perfect vantage point at all times. nine0009
A variety of game modes to keep any tennis player entertained:
- Knockout : In this single player mode, you’ll experience intense matches against increasingly skilled AI opponents. But don’t be afraid, if the going gets tough, you can call on your amiibo character partner!
- Mega Battle : If your character eats a mega mushroom, it will turn into a powerful giant — a thunderstorm of the court, capable of hitting any corner of it with its strongest blows. But what if all the players become huge? This is going to be a game! nine0020
- Classic Tennis : This mode was created for those who prefer the classic version of tennis and is available in two variations: with the normal rules you will get lucky shots and jump shots, but there will be no mega mushrooms, and with strict rules you will have to rely only on your skill — there will be no successful strikes or power-up items here.
- Online Matches** : Take on opponents from all over the world in ranked play in Mega Battle or Classic Tennis, or play against other players for fun in regular matches. A second player can connect to your console and join you in online battles — or you can call your amiibo character to the court. nine0020
To celebrate the release of the game, a special limited offer is waiting for you! Anyone who purchases Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash in Nintendo eShop within the first four weeks of launch will receive a download code for Mario Tennis for the Wii U Virtual Console. This hit for Nintendo 64 not only launched Mario’s tennis career, but and first introduced the players to Waluigi.
Find out who’s the best racquetist in your household, train compatible amiibo, and battle it out in online matches in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash for Wii U, launching November 20th. Two new multi-colored controllers, the Wii Plus Toad Remote and the Wii Plus Bowser Remote, will also go on sale that day.
And don’t forget to check out the Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash trailer for some fun tennis matches! nine0009
