Mario Power Tennis, known in Japan as Mario Tennis GC, is a sports game developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube in 2004. The game is the sequel to the Nintendo 64 title Mario Tennis, and is the fourth game in the Mario Tennis series. It was re-released for the Wii in 2009 as part of the New Play Control! collection of titles, featuring GameCube games with added Wii controls.

Mario Power Tennis incorporates multiple characters, themes, and locations from the Mario series. The game includes standard tennis matches, but contains variants that feature different scoring formats and objectives. Other variants include "Gimmick" courts, thematic areas with components and properties that directly affect game play. The game consists of 18 playable characters, each categorized by their style of play and each with a pair of unique moves known as "Power Shots". Power Tennis was developed simultaneously with Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, and the pair shared similar technology and concepts with each other during production. Such similarities include an emphasis on the Mario theme in characters and settings as well as alternative game modes such as "Ring Shot".

• Note: Start Dolphin with these settings - Disable Widescreen Hack in Graphics/Enhancements and set Aspect Ratio to Force 16:9 in Graphics/General. The NTSC-U code has messed up transitions in menus. The PAL version was made by Ralf.

3.0-373	Mac OS X 10.7.2	Intel Core i7-2675QM @ 2.2 GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6750M	60FPS. Graphical glitches with shadows on the court.	jedivulcan
3.0-416	Slackware 13.37	Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti	55~60FPS with LLE audio, Accurate VBeam emulation, OpenGL, 2x IR, 4x AA, and audio throttling. The game runs fine with the exception of the known graphical glitches.	Shonumi
3.0-421	Windows 7	AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.83 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 560 Ti	Same as the others. Game runs fine, but the graphical glitches on the court make it unplayable. Hope it's fixed one day.	AgainstYourThought
4.0.1	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.4 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460	Game runs fine and is 90% playable except minigames. graphical glitches cause the mini games to becomes hard or even impossible to play. Character models stretch across screen. Lighting is all dark. Shadows flicker. No graphical settings or hacks can fix these graphical issues its something the developers will have to fix in the next version of Dolphin.	Kilobytez95
4.0.2	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-3570K	AMD Radeon HD 7970	Game has a large memory leak, and uses upwards of 4GB of RAM with extended play. Issue did not occur in Dolphin 3.5, but it does occur in the 4.0-681. Stuttering, poor lighting, and slowdowns are still very common, and the known vertex/flickering issues still apply. Again, no settings seem to clear these issues up.	S8
4.0.2	Windows 10	AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHz	AMD R7 250	Mostly smooth gameplay, some slowdowns during certain scenes, but actual gameplay is always 60 FPS. All issues such as misrendered polygons and textures, darkened scoreboard and shadow flickering are present. OpenGL	RunDevilRun007
4.0-5295	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-4670K	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	OpenGL, 4x Native, AF 16x, No AA, 60FPS 99% of the time. As far as I can see, most problems appear to be fixed. Courts and shadows no longer flicker and character polygons are rendered correctly. Everything runs perfectly.	XzisT
4.0-8560	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.4 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	The game runs perfectly at 1600x900 with 4x SSAA and 16x AF with all graphical enhancements turned on.	Kilobytez95
4.0-8863	Arch Linux	Intel Core i7-4712MQ @ 3.2 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M	Smooth Game @ 60FPS. 3x IR	HowardTheDolphin
