Given my love for Chuckie B. and Co., I was extremely excited to see them gracing the small screen in Infogrames' Snoopy Tennis . All of my excitement was completely warranted once I started trading volleys with Peppermint Patty on this handheld gem. While this game lacks the deep RPG element of Mario Tennis , it still brings plenty of features to the table to give that Italian lard-butt a run for his money. In power mode, the court is littered with various power-ups that can hinder or help your play. The goal of race mode is to score higher than your opponent within a set time limit.
Sudden win is self-explanatory.
Squash mode, a welcome treat in this game, combines elements of squash and tennis in that you have the ability to use the walls to change the trajectory of your shot. Finally, championship mode is an all-out tourney for tennis supremacy. There are initially eight Peanuts characters that you can play with, and four characters that are unlockable. All of the fantastic classics are there, from Lucy and Linus to Snoopy and Charlie. Each character has varying abilities within the categories of speed, serve, stroke, and volley.
