Virtual Console Changes
The Ring Tournament mode was removed from the Wii Virtual Console release due to the online leaderboard being shut down. Its icon is still there, but it is skipped over in the menu. It was implemented again in the Wii U VC release. Additionally, Alex, Nina, Harry, and Kate are no longer playable in the Virtual Console version of the game. The Super Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser Courts cannot be unlocked either. This is due to the game needing to be connected to the Game Boy Color version of Mario Tennis to unlock this content, which the Wii or Wii U cannot do. Despite this, the data for all the characters and courts are still in the game.
