CGR Undertow - MARIO POWER TENNIS for Nintendo GameCube Video Game Review

[spacesphereknows]

OMG mario deflected a bullet bill with only a tennis racquet! he's magic!

[SolidSnake684]

me and my friend still play this game every time we hangout. It's simply magnificent

[TheOR1495]

Amazing fun

[YanniBG]

I actually got my copy last year for about $7 brand new from a store here in Sofia. Isn't that a deal? :-)

Nice review man, love this game!

[14evilprince]

man i am going to get this game fast befor you people try to

muhahahahah!!!!

[olfan92]

@14evilprince there are tons of them on amazon ill be fine :)

[OrdonWolf]

Not to mention... Motoi Sakuraba is the composer! :D

[TheMrminimario]

I can buy this game in Netherlands- Europe for just 20 euro. that's like 20$

not much right?!

[MCTV1000Faqs]

@TheMrminimario it's 28$ lol

[TheMrminimario]

@MCTV1000Faqs I'm from Netherlands, they think it's a bad game in here?

[MCTV1000Faqs]

@TheMrminimario i dunno.. i think it's pretty fun xD

[SethGreenMachine2010]

Why are there two shy guys?

[exfunj]

they mad a wii version of this too

[MBlueFlame]

is it any good

[jakB56]

holy shit he just smashed a bullet bill O.o

[kingkirby7714]

oh shit, strong bad reference!

[pippo17173]

Ya that sounds like a good idea because whoever make the movie in 1993 has no talent.

[Yade132]

Dude not to insult you but the pixar thing is kinda not a good idea.

[VideoGameGrEEK]

fuck advertisements!!! everytime i click this review some shit pops up

[majicbabii]

man i hate that luigi is so under appreciated! i mean they are even called the mario brothers.... thats not even their last names. luigi is older and the only game he actually got, the whole purpose was to save his brother. i luv luigi tho 1 trill more times than mario

[AllWalksofLife]

Why are Gamecube games so much money? On Amazon, Twilight Princess is about twice as much, if not a little more, on the gamecube, as opposed to the Wii version. Wtf is up w. that shit?!

[internetakias1]

Wario and Waluigi aren't brothers >.>

[RawHunterX]

I can't believe that Birdo isn't playable in Mario Power Tennis, she was in the first one. Also, they really searched hard to include Wiggler as a playable character but 2 shy guys and even 2 Koopas is a little too much, nonetheless it's an impressive roster.

[the1anime1freak1]

the mario power movie! now that is something to watch!

[thedavidmango]

i loved the original mario tennis

[2007pepsilover]

oh how i wish for some new mario sports games (golf, and tennis)

[ACityscapeFrom1994]

i miss classic gamecube and ps2 im 17 now i wish i could be 10 or 11 again

[rickyTraice]

0:17 "up yours"

[JetTheRabbitX]

@uzimakishadow one the sonic fanbase is shit like the hedgehog but the fanbase is shit two mario is a sell out because how u see how much mario games their r eg the mario spots games i like mario but somewhere he got lost and star making shit game like the sports games and making mario galaxy 2 is just number one i was not being a trollong when i said that k

[crazyandrewguy]

@JetTheRabbitX what the FUCK did you say?

[KingDavid73]

@uzimakishadow I never said I was, lol, I just prefer Sega.

[KingDavid73]

Sega Superstar Tennis is much better, but that's probably because SEGA is much better than Nintendo...

that's probably why I prefer Mark's reviews... there are funny reviews without the overwhelming Nintendo fanboyism.

[animefanclay]

Nice Strong Bad reference Derek lol

[Zero771]

What the fuck was the point of saying "Or press B with a more different shot." like an idiot. You already seem like the serious type as it is so why try to be funny. Please take note of this, leave it to Mark to be the hilarious and entertaining one.

[JetTheRabbitX]

mario is a sell out

[SethGreenMachine2010]

this is what I like about CGR undertow, is that it reviews a different variety of games than classic game room HD,all normal CGR reviews is either brand new games or little known Atari 2600 games.

[sundayess]

actually since wario n waluigi are not bros but relatives since there oppisite it's true even in the olympic winter games it said they are not bros but otherwise great review awsome just wanted to point this out!!!

[kprox1994]

$10 at gamestop

[Freezingred2]

@kprox1994

I remember in the begining of 2010, it was $34.99

[UltimateReviews1]

justin 'power' bieber....FAIL

[ledawg1138]

Could you please review Mario Tennis for Nintendo 64? Please?

[jasmin8ter2010]

The thing that appears at 4:43 isn't a tip for the game. It's a message that appears when you do something against the rules. Does Sega Superstars Tennis display this?

[DaveTheSodaGuy0]

wow, if a mario bros movie was made in this game's parameter it would be rated a movie that was just not recommended to children above the age of 6.

yes, I'm one of the few people who find the Super Mario Bros. Bob Hoskins Movie ok

[Awesom3Gamer]

@DaveTheSodaGuy0 BOO! BOOOOOO >O

[PedroyItatiFan]

I Love Nintendo I Was Born Playing Nintendo My First Nintendo Game When I was small Was Super Mario 64 For Nintendo 64

[pride93x]

Am I the only one still waiting for a pool game in the Mario universe? Mario Dirty Pool anyone?

[16BiTManiac]

this is a POWER comment

[jckid9]

"Take that Mr. Tiny Balls"

"Give me that. Crazy eyeball man."

[Tryzon]

I cannot get over the fact that this man sounds like a woman. That probably makes me a hugely shallow person, but there you go.

[neobogard]

there is a mario bros the movie,and it's awsome,fuck any one who says otherwise.

[RabidKanid]

Bowser is cool!

[Smacklau]

That was a Power awesome review!

You should celebrate your handy work at Outback Power Steakhouse.

[JDsan]

Derek, I wonder about your opinion on the Top Spin-series. Since it doesn't involve the nintendo franchise touch but hands you a very down-to-game-game (easy to pick up and play, hard to master) I wonder if you would find it as fun as this Mario Tennis-title. And I wonder if you could review it since it's on the Xbox/Xbox 360. I think it would be a real challenge =P

[MyDailyTheories]

This guy reads from a script

[Vintagecoats]

...the opening video sequence is cited as a big reason (#2 overall and all) for it's awesomeness? That seems, well, weak, and not as exciting as actual game-play

[Guysers]

This dude tries so hard to talk exactly like mark, but fails hard.

[victorbarovsky]

@Guysers How so? To me they have different styles

[TMEthan]

Can you make the review with the wii version of this game soon?

[foureyes99]

I still maintain that Mario Tennis for the GameBoy Color is one of the best games Nintendo has ever made, but I will definitely check this one out.

[Grithoof]

@foureyes99 MUST MUST MUST AGREE

[Yamtendo]

LOL "And B for a more different shot!" HSR dot com ftw.

[djklink20009]

you need to review Twilight Princess for the Game Cube, however if you review it for the Wii, may you burn in hell forever :P seriously tho do it ^_~

[EvilHungarian]

Seriously, this looks better than many Wii games...

[skittnazzz]

wait what, gamecube? didnt read the title properly so i went through the whole thing thinking "wii" xD only me?

[EphraimRodrigez]

@skittnazzz well you can play gamecube games on the wii

[townsjim]

This is by far the best mario sport game. The gamecube has so many underrated gems like this

[buddiha]

you know what? all we need is

COSMIC POWER CARNAGE

[TheThrashAnvil]

There's also a Wii re-release of this right?

Damn, best Mario sports game on the GC... Does that include Mario Kart? If so, Holy crap! But i'm already saving up for Mario Galaxy 2. I thought I would finish Galaxy first, but there are some really frustrating stages I just can't get through, and besides, Galaxy 2 is hailed by IGN as the best game on the wii! I can't wait!

[Gyzyn]

@TheThrashAnvil Super Mario Galaxy 2 is harder than the first game.

[TheThrashAnvil]

@Gyzyn

Really? I don't care, as long as it's genuine challenge instead of cheap deaths.

[Gyzyn]

@TheThrashAnvil I don't think that the first game had a lot of cheap deaths, I collected all 121 stars with pleasure.

[TheThrashAnvil]

@Gyzyn

Oh, i'm not trying to say that Galaxy 1 was anything but the best one could get for the Wii, but personally I found there were a lot of frustrating moments. Maybe cheap deaths was a bad choice of words. One thing I can say for sure I hate is the purple comets though, I don't know, theres just a special feeling of dissatisfaction you get when you've carefully jumped your way around the quicksand just to be devoured by it at the 95th coin.

[Gyzyn]

@TheThrashAnvil Purple coins... I remeber that once in Honeysomething galaxy I had situation like this. I almost threw my controller against the wall.

[TheThrashAnvil]

@Gyzyn

Oh, you mean the second galaxy in the game? The one where you fight the huge beetle. Yeah. That happened to me, too.

[T1SC00K1E]

this or sega super stars tennis?

[aerialdude]

"head over to CGR.com to buy this game on ebay" yeah or i could head over to ebay.com...

[WancakesTheBrave90]

@aerialdude i think they give you links to reliable ebay sources but IDK :)

[Permafry42]

@CGRundertow

have you played the wiimake of the game?

[RelaxNplay64]

mario+pixar=jizz in my pants

[JURPO90]

@RelaxNplay64 are you so attracted to mario and pixar? jk

[gonacho96]

nintendo has to die and mario withh it

[VideeyaGames]

marzipan!!

[segaatari25]

best sports game ever

[lordcyrus]

Not sure if it was posted, but the first Mario Tennis to my knowledge was on the Virtual Boy, unless you consider the NES version of Tennis that had Mario as a ref.

[maxbyer]

Strongbad voice FTW

[oxbowthegreat]

@maxbyer I heard that reference, and instantly loved undertow even more.

[maxbyer]

@oxbowthegreat If HSR refuses to update at least CGR can keep it alive!

[oxbowthegreat]

@maxbyer so true, I've checked the site almost every day, still nothing since the april fools joke.

[chewbacca447]

thumbs up if you like the idea of the super mario bros power movie :D

[dwaynedarko]

mario look high as hell at 0:08

[GrandTourGoku]

i like the GBA Mario tennis game

[mrassassin209]

mario boxing

fire punch

mushrooms make u huge

bananas throw in the ring

[QBONE253]

is the one for the wii good?and mario sluggers for wii?

[jebusthecatman]

Cuz thats how Nintendo rolls. Famous last words...

[PandaBearParamedics]

Where does a flower go

when it's heart is broken?

Only the tree knows.

He is the wizard.

[monkat7]

Whats with all the sports titles as of late? Lose a bet?

[ipodxdude]

the first appearance of WALUIGI

[dioseolo]

@ipodxdude What? I have Mario Tennis for Nintendo 64 and he's in that one.

[ipodxdude]

@dioseolo i think it was the N64 one waluigi was introduced to even out the playing field in mario tennis

[dioseolo]

@ipodxdude That's my point. In your first comment you said he first appeared in this one, but you were wrong because he already appeared in Mario Tennis for the N64.

[ipodxdude]

@dioseolo all i know is it was a tennis game

[Nightridergamer]

Now here comes the power jokes that will appear on every video. Now we have Power and vectrex jokes. Nice video anyways must try some mario sports games the only ones i played are mario hoops 3 on 3 for the ds

[VideeyaGames]

@Nightridergamer yeah i agree. brace yourself for the repetitive bullshit onslaught that's on it's way

[TheMattchu1212]

nintendo and pixar FTW!!!!!!!!

[BitchFunky317]

Why do I need to go to CGR.com to buy something off EBay?

[useless1997]

@BitchFunky317

Because they get paid if you do so.

[MultiMusicvids]

i hate the new autoplay thing

[dioseolo]

@MultiMusicvids Everybody hates it, man. You're not alone.

[manta965]

@MultiMusicvids why i like it now it just plays my subscriptions in order i dont have to go back and click a new video

[chewbacca447]

@MultiMusicvids i know cause then you can never get the other opponents no points its a bunch of sh*t

[WiiThoko]

@MultiMusicvids ?

[AndrewXAnarchy]

Power Flamethrower.

Power Vectrex.

It works!

[xiz90]

I'll stick with Tennis for Atari 2600.

[leoviper]

Can you play it with the Vectrex controller?

[Moisemo25]

Is it on the 32x?

[70k0]

@Moisemo25 No but they mentioned a released it on the Vectrex, fingers crossed.

[danophile07]

the graphics literally are better than wii haha

[Ksmitty1012]

@danophile07 The gamecube IS better than wii haha

[TheNatedogg56]

When will there be a Mario RTS? or FPS? I'm still waiting for those...

[niah146]

@TheNatedogg56 mario RTS would be awsome!

[17R3W]

Remake for the Vectrex? 

[DoitForTheLolz1]

there should be a mario themed game of flying power disc

[Chaytup]

mario tennis 64 was better B)

[EphraimRodrigez]

whats next ? power golf ? power chess?

[imbadatnames390]

@EphraimRodrigez

Well if it's the same person then it will be mario power golf or mario power chess because he's a hardcore nintendo fanboy

[Jex64]

@EphraimRodrigez There are alot of iterations of mario golf, and mario chess is on a mario collection on the PC

[EphraimRodrigez]

@Jex64 yeah but not "power" chess or golf

[Ksmitty1012]

@EphraimRodrigez There already is a mario golf game.

[mchaosg]

The best sport game ever... in my opinion.

[nylertickel2]

@mchaosg This and the other Mario sports games

[Madnesscom9]

Mmmmmm... The memories!

[VoCaLoIdXKaGaMiNe]

i loved the mario sports games

[DonkeyDelight]

Ha, i put a lot of time into this game XD
