Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)
Mario Tennis is a Nintendo 64 video game, later released for the Game Boy Color. It features Mario and his friends playing a classic game of tennis, with a few Mario twists.

Mario Power Tennis
Mario Power Tennis is a game for the Nintendo GameCube. It is the sequel of Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. In this game, Mario and his various friends (and enemies) meet up to play a few rounds of tennis. Like previous Mario sports titles, all the playable characters have special Power Shots to make the game more interesting. Additionally, there are courts in the game that have special effects and events during the game. Also, there are special games for each court to play with.
Mario Power Tennis (Game Boy Advance)
Mario Power Tennis is very similar to its GameCube counterpart, except it is for the Game Boy Advance. It brings back the RPG elements of its predecessor. The game is not compatible with Mario Power Tennis like its golf counterpart. The American name for that game is Mario Tennis: Power Tour.
Mario Tennis Open
Mario Tennis Open is an upcoming title new to the series for the Nintendo 3DS. It seems to be based off of Mario Power Tennis from the Nintendo GameCube. It has been stated that the game will feature gyroscope support.
Ports
New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis
This game is a port of Mario Power Tennis for the Nintendo GameCube. For the Wii version of Mario Power Tennis (via the New Play Control! lineup), the controls are not like the Nintendo Gamecube version, since the game makes use of the Wii's motion controls. This version includes a tutorial movie to demonstrate how to use the Wii Remote in this game. Players can choose to play with the Wii Remote only, or with the Wii Remote/Nunchuk combination for advanced control of playable character participants.
