Pocket Tennis is a simple tennis game with two play modes: Exhibition and Tournament.
Exhibition allows you to play a single match against either the computer or another player using a link cable. You can choose from eight different character options, each with their own skills, as well as four different courts to compete on. The amount of sets played per game can also be selected, ranging from 1 to 5.
Tournament mode is only against the computer, and in this case, human players can select their character but not the opponent. While both modes have some similarities, Tournament lacks the selection options for courts and sets that are present in Exhibition.
