Mario's Tennis (マリオズテニス, Mariozu Tenisu?) is a sports game for Nintendo's Virtual Boy video game console. Also known by its working title Mario's Dream Tennis, it was the console's pack-in game in North America. The game features eight famous characters from the Mario series. Although a two-player function was announced, it was not implemented since the cable required to link two Virtual Boy units was never released. Due to the Virtual Boy's poor sales in North America, Mario's Tennis did not become as popular as the other games in the Mario Tennis series.

Mario's Tennis supports singles (Player V.S. CPU) or doubles (Player & CPU v.s. CPU & CPU. Regular (1 Match) and Tournament (3 Matches) play are available, with easy, normal, or hard difficulties. Clips of the game being played can be seen in the Pawn Stars episode Darth Pawn, in which the seller sells the shop his Virtual Boy along with this game.
