Snoopy Tennis lets the player take control of Charles Schulz's famous Peanuts Gang and compete in a series of tennis games similar to Mario Tennis. The player can initially choose from eight characters to play (Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Franklin, Sally, Peppermint Patty & Schroeder), each with their unique strengths and weaknesses. By winning against certain opponents and in various modes, the player can unlock an additional four characters (Pigpen, Marcie, Rerun and Woodstock).
There are four different courts to choose from: a forest location, the beach, the schoolyard and Charlie Brown's backyard, with an additional four locations unlocked during gameplay. There are six different single player game modes to choose from:
Normal , which is a best two-out-of-three game set.
Power , where the player plays a game of tennis with the ability to use power-ups during the match.
Points Win , where the player with the most points within a two minutes wins the match.
Sudden Win , which has no service breaks and the first player with two victories wins the game.
Squash , which is still a normal game of tennis, but adds walls to both sides of the court.
There is also the Championship mode where the player takes on several different characters on different courts in order to win the Peanuts' Tennis Championship and unlock other characters under different difficulty settings (easy, medium and hard). There is also a two-player mode using a Game Link, and the game supports three languages to choose from (English, French and Spanish).

Starting the Game
After turning the power "ON", the Game Boy Color will arrive at the Language Selection screen. Here you can select your preferred language.
•
Scroll up and down with the Control Pad until you find the desired language.
•
Press the A Button.
After this, you will proceed in the language of your choice to the Main Menu screen.
1 Player Game - Normal
To access a single player game in the Main menu, highlight the "1 Player" text and press the A Button. This will advance you to the "Select Mode" screen.
On the Select Mode screen you can choose from 5 different playing modes:
•
Normal
•
Power Mode
•
Points Race
•
Sudden Win
•
Squash
Normal is the same as traditional Tennis using the advantage system of scoring. For a refresher on the advantage system of scoring, please see Schroeder's™ appendix on page 22.
•
To select this mode, move the arrow next to Normal and press the A Button.
•
You will then advance to the "Select Character" screen.
Selecting Characters and Opponents
•
Press the A Button to select the character of your choice.
•
You can always deselect a character by pressing the B Button and starting over.
After you select the playing character, you must then select the opponent. Scroll the opponent list the same way you scrolled the player list, then choose the opponent by pressing the A Button. Next, you will advance to the "Select Court" screen.
Selecting a Court
On the "Select Court" screen you can choose from 4 different courts. The select court screen shows the court composition and setting. For a complete overview, please see "Snoopy's™ Aerial Shots" on page 15.
•
Press the A Button when you find your preferred court.
You are now ready to play tennis.
Pausing the Game
•
You can pause the game at any time by pressing Start.
•
Pressing Start again returns the game to action.
While paused, a submenu allows you to choose whether to view the game stats, quit the game or resume play.
1 Player - Other Modes of Play
We've just covered the instructions for Normal mode. There are also four other modes to explore for those interested in playing intriguing variations of the traditional form of tennis. The four mode variations are:
•
Power Mode
•
Points Race
•
Sudden Win
•
Squash
Power Mode
In this mode of singles play, icons called power-ups appear at random around the court. Each power-up forces an immediate action or result. We tabulated the power-ups below.
Point Race
Point Race is based on the tiebreaker scoring system. Score as many points as possible within a two-minute time period.
With two linked Game Boy® units (Game Link® cable), Point Race becomes a thrilling race to see who can score the most points within the given time period. The seconds tick by only when the losing player serves.
Sudden Win
In tennis, service break occurs when the one receiving the serve scores. In Sudden Win, you play until first break of serve, thereby winning the set. Otherwise, the standard rules of tennis apply.
Squash
Sloping walls replace the sidelines, but otherwise the regular rules apply. Bounce the ball off either wall to produce challenging angles. It is impossible to hit the ball over the walls. Since there is only one squash court, selecting this mode bypasses the court selection screen.
Doubles: 2 Player Mode
With a Game Link® cable, you can connect two Game Boy® units head to head. All the same game modes work: Normal, Power Mode, Point Race, Sudden Win, and Squash.
If you experience a broken link error, adjust the Game Link® cable until it is securely in place.
•
For two-player mode, two copies of the game are required, one for each Game Boy®.
•
The option settings of the first player to enter 2 Player mode will be used.
•
A Game Boy Advance Game Link® cable will not work.

Tips & Maps
Stroke
The basic hit that will almost always stay in play. To make cross-court or down-the-line shots, hit the A Button while simultaneously holding the Control Pad in that direction (forward, backward, left or right).
Volley
Hit a volley shot - that is, before the ball bounces - by pressing the A Button. Care must be taken to hit the ball before it moves downward or the ball might go into the net.
Smash
Only when the opponent lobs the ball overhead. Requires careful alignment with the ball while it is in the air. Timing is crucial.
Slice
Press the B Button while pressing the Control Pad away from the net. This is very useful if you want to throw off your opponent.
Lob
This is the default hit when you press the B Button. This is a good hit to use when your opponent gets close to the net.
Strategy Tip
Some power-ups, such as slowdown or reverse controls, are best avoided. You can direct your shot at or near the opponent's power-up to force an error and possibly win the point. Conversely, if a desirable power up lies on your side of the net, run over it to force a favorable result.
