* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The Mario Tennis series has way better music than you'd probably expect from a Tennis game with some truly epic soundtracks thanks to being composed by ''Motoi Sakuraba''. Some examples:

** The GBC version of Mario Tennis has some surprisingly elaborate music for a Game Boy Color game (even when you don't count the ports from ''64''). Especially great when you get to the Semifinals of the Island Open.

** The GBA version, Mario Tennis Power Tour, is no slouch either and has amazing music from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xPjR16IKY0 the very first match in the Story mode]] that rivals or maybe even ''surpasses'' VideoGame/GoldenSun.

** The [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Baby Luma]] in ''Open'' also counts, as he had [[SatelliteCharacter never appeared without Rosalina beforehand]]. Rosalina actually appearing in the following game doesn't help.

* FanPreferredCutContent: The [[https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Power_Tennis#/media/File:Walpeach_Design_Instagram.jpg unveiling]] of the scrapped character Wapeach, in addition to FanartAtFirstSight, have many Mario fans wishing she was added to ''Power Tennis'' due to her cute design and concept being a child who bosses around Wario and Waluigi.[[note]]Considering that Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto rejected the character due to wanting to avoid being seen as an {{Expy}} of Doronjo from Anime/{{Yatterman}}, had she came to fruition, this concept [[HilariousInHindsight would have predated]] ''Anime/YattermanNight''![[/note]]

Fanart At First Sight is getting cut because of TRS.


* FanartAtFirstSight: Despite not making it as an official character, "Wapeach" received a ton of fan art after her design was shown to the world.

* BreatherBoss: In the GBC version, the varsity squad ranking match is literally just a Bob whom you've already faced before. It's different in Doubles, wherein you have [[WakeUpCallBoss Mark]] teaming up with the Bob.

** Playing against Kamek in ''Aces'' where you have to make 400 rallies without missing 3 times. The court takes place on a ship with a mast in the middle of the net and if the ball hits the mast, it will bounce off on an unpredictable path. While you don't have to beat Kamek to complete the story mode, you will have to beat him if you want to earn a new racket.

** Playing against Kamek The rallying challenges in ''Aces'' can be quite infuriating. The easiest of them requires you to earn 200 points, and you earn 1 point for each hit, and bonus points at certain milestones streaks. You can only miss three times before you fail the challenge. This type of challenge can be quite demanding on the reflexes and concentration, even ''with'' Zone Speed to help out. The hardest is Kamek where you have to make 400 rallies without missing 3 times. The court takes place on a ship with a mast in the middle of the net and if the ball hits the mast, it will bounce off on an unpredictable path. While you don't have to beat Kamek to complete the story mode, you will have to beat him if you want to earn a new racket.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The Tournament mode in ''64'', ''Power'', and ''Open'' is available in Singles and Doubles. Don't bring a friend over for this though, as Doubles can only be played with a computer partner.

** Many believe ([[FanonDiscontinuity or choose to believe]]) that the first game in the series was the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 entry, but the first ''Mario Tennis'' game was in fact ''Mario's Tennis'' on the ill-fated UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy.

* SequelDisplacement: Given the commercial failure of the UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy, many ignore that the series started on that platform and not on the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}}. ''Mario Tennis 64'' is the first game developed by Camelot however, as ''Mario's Tennis'' was developed by Nintendo themselves.
