'''Mario Power Tennis''' (known in Japan as '''Mario Tennis GC''') is the [[Gamecube]] successor to the ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' games.

=Story=

The game does not have a storyline, but ''Power Tour'' follows the example of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' by using the introduction video as a type of short. It acts as a showcase for the various characters in the game while following the comical mishaps of [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]] as they attempt to sabotage others to usurp glory. Within this short, Wario and Waluigi form an alliance with [[Bowser]] after stumbling into his secret training room. They try to bombard [[Mario]] with [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s on the tennis court, but he knocks them back at them, and once again the three villains end up being humiliated in an explosion.

=Gameplay=

This game expands upon the gameplay and graphics of the first ''Mario Tennis''. New features include characters having Skill Types and special Power Shots. Players can choose between Exhibition Mode, Tournament Mode or a series of special minigames. This game also features a wide variety of themed courts.

==Ports and Remakes==

*In 2009, it was remade for the Wii as part of the New Play Control series. This version was modified to be controlled using the Wii's motion controls.

==Sequels==

*''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]'' was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] as a companion game, although unlike the previous pair of ''Tennis'' games (and the accompanying pair of ''Mario Golf'' games), it cannot link up to the Gamecube game. The series would later be continued with ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' for the [[3DS]].

=Trivia=

*Unlike other ''Mario'' games, ''Power Tennis'' has two sets of staged blooper reels which play during the credits.
