  • 1 Unlockable character
  • 2 Although not a playable character, Birdo did appear in the game as Yoshi's doubles partner.

Note: Donkey Kong Junior is a character that does not appear until unlocked and has full abilities in every zone, making him considered a "cheat" character. Therefore he has been banned in sanctioned play.

The GBC version also features original characters, some of which can be uploaded to the N64 version (using a Transfer Pak). The players' stats can also be uploaded to the N64 game from the GBC game. The uploadable characters are:

  • Alex
  • Harry
  • Nina
  • Kate

Other characters, NPCs from Mario Tennis (GBC) and Mario Tennis: Power Tour's story modes can be unlocked for play in exhibition matches.
