Mario Tennis Open

Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

Why does every character need a predetermined partner? Why can't computers have a randomized partner when playing doubles instead of their "default" partner?

I was thinking about that. That was one of the cons in Mario Tennis 64. You couldn't choose your own partner in the Doubles Tournaments. Good thing the Power sequel fixed that.

Oh, I remember that now. Still, there's no need for Flutter and Birdo if Nintendo's willing to bring Baby Mario back and include King Boo and Dry Bones.

The roster balance does need to be taken into account though.

I'm sure Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Toad, Toadette, King Boo, Dry Bones, and maybe King K. Rool and Kritter can be added to the roster while remaining balanced.

Speaking of balancing the roster, I want at least one more character in the All-Around category. I'm sick of Mario and Luigi being the only All-Around characters.
 
Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

My idea for a roster

All-Around
Mario
Luigi
Toad
Toadette

(we need more all-around players)

Power
Bowser
Donkey Kong
Petey Piranha
King Boo
Wario

Defense
Waluigi
Wiggler
Rosalina

(meh, I thought the Defense needed more players)

Speed
Yoshi
Koopa Troopa
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Diddy Kong

Technique
Peach
Daisy
Shy Guy
Paratroopa

Tricky
Boo
Bowser Jr.
Fly Guy
Dry Bones
 
Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

I'm also sick of seeing female characters in the "Technique" category. It's like a very rigid label.
 
Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

That's one of the reasons I put Rosalina under defense
 
Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

Here's my roster.

All Around
Mario
Luigi
Dry Bones
Kritter
Toad

Technique
Peach
Daisy
Shy Guy
Paratroopa
Waluigi

Speed
Yoshi
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Diddy Kong
Koopa Troopa
Toadette

Power
Bowser
DK
Wario
Petey Piranha
King Boo

Defense
Wiggler

Tricky
Boo
Bowser Jr.
Fly Guy
 
Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

If Toad is all-around, he should trade reach for either technique or speed
 
Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

If you look back at my roster input, I had 5 players per category. But again, the roster is more for if a Mario Tennis is made for the Wii U, but some of the characters could be utilized in the 3DS game.

Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

The only reason I disagree with that roster is that I really miss Baby Mario. He was the bomb.
 
Re: Mario Tennis 3DS

I wonder why female characters never get Power.
