📋 About This Mod
Changes the Mario Tour story mode to be 2 games per set instead of 6 games per set. This fixes the long grind in story mode matches and overall makes the story mode completion three times faster while keeping the overall difficulty same. The two game sets follow same rules as the free play Exhibition mode rules: win by 2 (3-1 or 2-0) and 7 point tiebreak at 2-2. It still uses the normal number of sets depending on the match type so you will still get the longer best of 5 set matches during the Island Open. Compatible with unmodified game save file. Tested on mGBA and real hardware. Instructions: 1. Start with your own authentic backup of Mario Tennis for Game Boy Color. 2. On the Romhack Plaza page, use the ROM Patcher in the sidebar. 3. Drag your Mario Tennis ROM file into the ROM box. 4. Drag the included .ips patch file into the patch box. 5. Click Apply Patch 6. Save the new patched ROM.
This romhack for Mario Tennis modifies the story mode's set length from six games to two, making matches quicker and reducing overall completion time by roughly three times while preserving difficulty. It applies the same rules as free play Exhibition mode. Ideal for players who find the original story mode too grindy.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Cuts the grind dramatically—matches are way shorter, so you can blow through the story without the slog.
- Difficulty stays the same, so you still get the challenge without the tedious length.
- Simple, focused change that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just faster sets.
⚠️ Cons
- No endorsements or downloads yet, so it's untested by the community—could have hidden bugs.
- Only affects story mode; if you wanted faster exhibition or tournament matches, this won't help.
- Compatibility with other romhacks or specific game versions isn't confirmed, so use with caution.
This is for players who enjoy Mario Tennis's story mode but find the six-game sets too time-consuming. It's also great for completionists who want to finish the story quickly without losing the challenge. If you're a purist who likes the original pacing, you might want to skip it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a clean ROM of Mario Tennis before applying the patch, as this mod likely requires a patching tool.
- Since the mod changes set length, be prepared for matches to end faster—adjust your strategy for shorter sets.
- If you're using an emulator, test the mod on a save file you don't mind losing in case of issues.
