It features some of the same features that made it fun, and a better
multiplayer mode.  This is my first FAQ, so donít critique me too harshly.

Modes of Play
*************
There are a couple different modes of play in Mario Tennis, all of which I
will explain.
Singles Matches- A one on one match between you and your opponent.
Doubles Matches- A two on two match between 2 teams of players.
Tournaments- There are three tournaments available when you start the game.
You proceed through the rankings, in either doubles or singles matches.  If
you win, you get a trophy and move on to the next highest tournament.
Piranha Challenge- Several piranha plants spit balls at you and you must hit
them past your rival more often than the plants spit them past you.
Ring Shot- While volleying with your opponent, you must hit the ball through
target rings and win the point to get credit for the rings.
Bowser Stage- While playing on Bowserís court, aim for the power-up boxes
which can be used by hitting R.  These items can stun your opponent, which
usually wins a point.  However, the court also tips where the most weight is
located, so donít run too far.
