Mario Tennis 64 - MAX Difficulty

This is a video of a 3 set - 2 game match between Donkey Kong (me) and Mario, set on MAX dificulty. The game is Mario Tennis, for the Nintendo 64.

[@Tez89f]

Some people won't understand how hard it was to play the computer on max. That was some real stuff coming back from 40 - love. Salute

[@joejulet5224]

one of the best n64 games man

[@cross25011990]

lol

[@bronysimpson3250]

Joe Julet AGREED

[@donsolos]

So underrated. It actually makes me sad. Same with Mario soccer for the gamecube. 2 of the best sports games I ever played

[@ELI-ch4nn3l]

Indeed

[@zrockon]

I learned tennis rules with this game. It's an awesome game!

[@kb1234567898]

donkey kong was the roger federer of mario tennis

[@paulgiovanni1136]

agreed

[@craigfergie565]

So far you're the closest I've seen to beating a max level star character flawlessly, and that's you without a star.

[@andrewmanford]

this is seriously one of the most addicting games on the 64...good video!

[@Lemonbread2]

My favorite character to play as has always been and still is boo. He's just soo much fun to play as... a little difficult when you start using him, but still one of the best in this game.

[@At0micPunk90]

I once tried to play this on MAX and got absolutely annihilated. The game doesn't pull punches on MAX difficulty.

[@humanoid52]

wtf mario tennis have Max difficulty I never unlocked that when I was a kid XD.

[@phoenixflower1225]

Yo i didn't know man - holy crap I thought intense was enough

[@anthonyduff5301]

if you never play from the top screen, you ain't shit.

[@anim3z4u]

lmao!! you not lying either that's how you get better too.

[@joesilver72]

so hard but so true

[@Subject64]

I like playing from the top screen, to me its more easier lol

[@aayonce4]

Anthony Duff serving from the top screen is the best!! Lol

[@JoMaisBure10]

this game needs to be put on the EShop

[@JoMaisBure10]

Not in europe

[@Techn9cian123]

I’m playing this for the very first time with a modded wii and wiiware lol.

[@Qaisjaan]

Just picked up this game on eBay. Oh the memories!

[@IcarusPrisonerKobold]

My favorite line from Mario is "OUCH!!!" @ 2:34 (approx.). LOVE that line!!

[@slapshot68]

The star puts ur character on steroids

[@atignister]

I remember that i used to play on my cousins nintendo 64, i would play this game

[@WednesdayMan]

wait look to the right SMG4 is in mario tennis 64

[@Nintendewd]

@knuddelwuschel As far as I know, you can only control your ball from left to right. Depending on how long you charge up your shot for, it may go a bit farther, but other than that I don't think there is a way to hit a lob or any other shot deep into the court. That being said, tricky and technique characters have better lobs than power characters, so their lobs may go a little deeper.

[@thejdsgames1552]

I've been trying to beat characters on max difficulty as well. It was tough for Yoshi to beat fellow speed characters while Tricky and Technique characters were easy. Playing as Bowser was easier against Birdo than playing as Yoshi

[@gamerx112]

i remember never getting bored when i played this, even when i lost

[@mikka8999]

oh man i remeber playing this high on weed with my buddies..n we would blast techno to it....i was krazy with donkey kong...smash all day

[@joesilver72]

Thai Ngo he's just jealous cause he never blazed and played awesome games haha I totally related to your post. rock on guy with awesome name

[@RunaroundStar]

I cant believe in Mario tennis open your going to have a marker everywhere the ball goes to show you where it will land..ALL THE TIME. This was the classic, the good stuff.

[@ryangross5461]

He keeps staying in "no man's land", and he doesn't head back to the baseline when DK is about to do an overhead smash.

[@brentisverycool]

mario tennis requires soooo much more skill not even trolling, it really does

[@Jacques_Chirac]

I have just beaten yoshi on gravel on max with mario. In my opinion the hardest match up. Took a half year to get to this point. I love this game so much.

[@videogamephenomhd]

MAX difficulty should also be known as the "Expert Plus" difficulty. It just all seems that the AI could barely even beat the pros.

[@usteeler81]

@tarnoob my friend and I did a comparison of consoles once. We took into account the graphics during the console's era and not only what we thought were great games, but games that were so good they were basically already on the "Games you must buy" even when they weren't out, and basically yeah we agreed that the N64 is the greatest console of all time

[@TheDarkYoshi64]

Probably the best Mario Tennis in the series

[@skunkisgood]

Sickest n64 game ever for me!

[@MegaDardery]

I LOVE This game after i finished the game and cleared it (with all the characters ) and even the dream cups i decided to play tennis on real life too Guss what? after only 1 month i beated the boss!!!

[@Rusticabcd]

I found the 3rd Mario brother on the middle left.

[@VULGR]

thats awesome! I love the N64, my favourite game of all time is on it, its Mario Party 3, and i absolutely love Mario Tennis!

[@Builimacen]

i loved to play this game so much! Daisy was the BEST! :D

[@Dark_Mario_Bros.]

Mario Tennis 64 Max Difficulty doesn't play around. That DK player is very good, ngl

[@i8myshirt]

Why are so many people posting saying they could destroy Nintendewd? I don't think he issued a challenge anywhere nor did he say he was the best there every was in this game. He played the game, very well might I add. Also, nice video quality. What recorder did you use?

[@a1337turtle]

serena williams is very talented but she looks very big in this video

[@fightfannerd2078]

+a1337turtle lol

[@leocvalle]

+a1337turtle That's a racist stupid joke

[@a1337turtle]

Leonardo Castilhos Valle yes it is

[@leocvalle]

+a1337turtle And racism is a crime, do you know?

[@a1337turtle]

Leonardo Castilhos Valle lmao no it isnt

[@SoulStatement]

I have heard something that is only slightly true depending on the character like wario if you're charging and you hold a direction such as back and to the side right before you swing go to the other side your shot will be curved and slightly faster depending on the timing it works really well with dk luigi and wario but not many others

[@JustAnotherCarpenter]

hit like if you, Love your Nintendo 64 from when you were a kid and even today, also love mario tennis especially, forgot to put on player cam every game and played so hard and so much that you could win the star tournament within ten minutes or a three set game in less then two minutes

[@mikeyisniceha]

This game taught me the rules of tennis lol

[@theodaman420]

this game is classic. best sports game ive ever played

[@peppalacerda7760]

That shadows is amazing srry for bad english

[@bronysimpson3250]

if only I had gotten my hands on this game as a kid back in the days of N64 and GBC.

[@STEVEO069]

one if not my most fav mario 64 game many hours went in that game

[@elPatrixf]

@64Gameplay yah, i knew. But what I meant is that i wished pj64 looked EXACTLY like this. The current emulation misses a lot of the framebuffer effects, like the ball trail, split screen, or the replay screen effects, and stuff like that that enhances the graffics. Sure it's playable, but it's not 100% accurate.

[@JAJAJA31000]

@shadowNinja51 You can be happy now because it's coming to the Virtual Console next Monday (June 21st) and if you are from Europe you can buy it right now!

[@HalcyonRL]

This was the good old days

[@Rebelshifter]

Excellent match! Donkey kong is one of the players that one must know to handle well!

[@EvilPuNi5H3R]

win the star tournament with all the characters

[@xXCIROXx587]

@knuddelwuschel yes you can hit a lob deep into the court... you just have to move the control stick to the back of the court when you charge the lob

[@Wolves2314]

wow looking back at this game the graphics were way worse than i remember. but the game is still as good :)

[@xXCIROXx587]

@knuddelwuschel @NIntendewd yes you can hit a lob deeo into the court.. when you are charging the lob just move the control stick to the back of the court

[@OctavKitty]

smg4 wat u doin ere ?

[@chrispycoolbeans]

@knuddelwuschel you can make it lob further to the back if you start by pressing A to lob but charge and hit it by pressing B. Additionally, if you start by pressing B before it gets to you and finish the hit by pressing A to charge and hit it, it gives a weak hit with a little backspin.

[@Leapering]

Guys its blue mario!!!!!!!

[@Nintendewd]

@younglink100x9 This is not an emulator clip, it is from the actual N64 game.

[@majinwamu6267]

your pretty dang good. that was exciting to watch

[@PunchPerfectPlayer]

i use to love this game so much, so getting it for the VC

[@JMGO1999EternalMajorKakoEscoby]

puts,cara,tu é bom de tennis,eu só jogo no normal mode e não no max,mas você conseguiu jogar no max,que da hora.

[@sanchez_27ss15]

Te voa aser capoeira en la sus cabesaa

[@Moerthe1]

You got served!

[@CrystalMech]

Wow, DK made his taunt sounds from SSB1. Cool!

[@RealDreamStation64]

God, I miss this game...

[@epiclight858]

3:02 nice rally

[@xDisgaeaFanboi]

We played this at Anime Central, it was so intense

[@DaMasterBigJ]

he's the ref. wtf does ZOMG mean? this game is awesome. The Planet Cup Finals are super hard on singles though.

[@Jzoomer06]

@knuddelwuschel lobs can be charged like any other shot. tap a once then spam b to charge. You can make drops more effective as well

[@mysticalisland]

god, how i miss this game.

[@Cipher_8]

That's what emulators are for. I got a Nintendo 64, Gameboy Advance, and Sega Genesis with all my favorite games (ROMs) and yeah i bought them once so it's not stealing...

[@stuntmasta305]

I can serve in the 130's, 140's. Timing is everything.

[@EyeLoveFeist]

I love this game so much.. and miss it too much. :[

[@Wakssbm]

Playing against these computers when you're the one behind is like, impossible. They ACE so easily, I don't get it

[@LuigiMario13]

D'aww... i remember when i used to play this in co-op with my brother.. Great video! =D

[@matthiaswalter8247]

How..., just HOW?

[@shirehorse7]

I never played a Mario tennis game in my life and im trying to collect Mario games but now that Baby Mario is playable i want to play it for the 3DS and another thing the only sport they didn't do yet for a Mario sport is Football and that would kick ass especially if they add items like a red shell to attack somone with the ball

[@cicirunner]

You can change the camera angle so you are always on the good side.

[@plleth]

ever since i can remember ive alaways picked luige on every mario game

[@MegaDardery]

By the way is that a real console or you're playing it on an emulator??

[@fjl2x2]

I am the only one who can see the blue Mario on the side of the court? I am seeing things or what? Is he a ghost?! Am i going crazy?! ZOMG!!

[@william198888]

try this: play mario against wario on max , with extra power( which u get when u win with every character all singles + all doubles cups) if you beat wario than you have mastered this game.( wario is the one 1 consider most difficult to beat)

[@sdn14]

Birdo in the planet cup finals is the most fricken annoying match EVER!!!

[@Achille12345]

@tarnoob I would probably not go that far sure the N64 is very good, but the only really good game i remember was The two Zelda games, the MANY Mario games and probably few Racing game like Diddy Kong racing. Personnaly my Favorite console are... Old one... 1: PS2 2: PS1 3: N64 4: Gamecube 5: Snes News one... 1: Xbox 360 2: Wii (Mostly For the Harvest Moon Games and the Rune Factory games.) 3: Nintendo DS (Probably for the RPG Pokemon and Rune Factory games.)

[@heroknaderi]

I enjoyed it. Istill play it too. Itls fun

[@fierydude101]

man i want to dust off my N64, and get this game i played it all the freakin' time

[@xetang35]

hardest thing to do is to give the max com a star handicap, and play without a star handicap. pretty challenging

[@MrGuitarfreak102]

@Kristoffer121 its a PVR, thats how people post gameplay on youtube

[@ilovemymac123]

@peqes2 if you win all cups with every player, you get new cups. Win the new cups with every player and you`ll have level MAX!

[@UmbreonMessiah]

Except Mario Tennis didn't come out until 2000 :/

[@jjjez]

Well played. I was always Daisy

[@bAssisit]

Why do you not play with Star-Characters? Not bad, by the way;)

[@cicirunner]

What i meant was that DK has a power advantage over Mario. It's super easy. I tried Mario versus Bowser and that was actually easy too. Bowser was too slow. Playing Wario is more difficult b/c he has power and is not that slow.

[@gback911]

it's all walugigi for me.

[@xbck441okc5]

for some reason I feel offended to see an ape playing a good tennis game with a human

[@harkendoich2]

Got the game but not the console,, GRRRRr!! will rectify this little problem ASAP!

[@diezel917]

what emulator are you using this on? esp with you have crystal clear gameplay

[@1xoirc]

I love this game!:)

[@NautiusMaximus]

ahh this brings back memories

[@Harleigh_19]

@DeyjandiVon00 cant agree more, i think its one of the best games ever made in general. So much fun, i think i like this one the best cause the power moves in the 2nd kinda bugged me

[@EvilPuNi5H3R]

win star tournament with all characters

[@cicirunner]

Mario Power Tennis for the Cube was OK at best. The graphics were great and the gameplay was good, but it was annoying that you earned those special save hits that would keep the computer alive and the volley going for hours!

[@basilisk333]

Actually I think Toad is the hardest to beat. Try playing against Toad as a star character on Max and on Waluigi's and Wario's stage without putting the star on your character. Play it a couple of sets and notice how it makes much less mistakes than the rest of the other characters.

[@diezel917]

setting and the one selected in the drop down menu under graphics plugin will tell you

[@NocriZle]

@knuddelwuschel actually if you hold forward and hit a without double tapping a it will go far

[@Nintendewd]

I hooked up my TV to my computer using Pinnacle 500-USB.
