Mario Tennis Open
Mario Tennis Open is a 2012 sports video game developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. Like earlier Mario Tennis titles, it features characters, settings, and scenarios from the Mario franchise participating in tennis matches of varying rulesets and objectives. Unlike prior handheld titles, the game doesn't feature any RPG elements or story mode and is the first title in the series to feature simultaneous region locked online play.

Where Mario Tennis Open sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Mario Tennis Open lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 78ahead of 33% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 25ahead of 69% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Mario Tennis Open
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
