Mario's Tennis (マリオズテニス, Mariozu Tenisu?) is a video game for Nintendo's Virtual Boy video game console. It was one of four "launch games" that were released at the same time as the Virtual Boy console's release.[2] Also known by its working title Mario's Dream Tennis, it was the console's pack-in game in North America. The game features eight famous characters from the Mario series. Although a two-player function was announced, it was not implemented since the cable required to link two Virtual Boy units was never released.[3]
