Mike and Jaymo serve up hot takes on Tennis (NES, 1984), Super Tennis (SNES, 1991), Smash Tennis (SNES), and Mario Tennis (N64, 2000) in their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!

Mike starts off with a crash course of tennis basics, Jaymo argues that a tennis game is the first speaking role for Mario, the story mode that Smash Tennis set up but then hid is explored, and they match up Mario Tennis' modes to determine if items are better or worse for tennis gameplay.

It's morphin' time as Mike & Jaymo deep dive into Kid Chameleon (Sega Genesis, 1992), Claymates (SNES, 1994), & Jelly Boy (SNES, 1995) on their epic quest to research & review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!

Along the way they'll try to figure out why the early 90s seemed so obsessed with having kids get trapped in video games, how game manuals at rental stores used to be community resources, and some flashbacks to old lenticular covers.
