About this game
All Star Tennis 2000 is a Game Boy Color sports release centered on competitive sport play, local connection or multiplayer interaction, and sport controls. Matches, challenges, and tournament goals give sessions clear boundaries, with progress divided into stages, tasks, matches, or growth milestones that make its immediate goals understandable. Its value depends on whether these rules continue to create judgment and room for mastery rather than on campaign length or series recognition. Short campaigns are judged by repeat-challenge value, while longer ones are judged by variety, pacing, and recovery after failure. Players, venues, and score feedback establish the match atmosphere, while color choices need to distinguish characters, objects, and routes rather than serve as decoration alone. The main genre-specific friction is that opponent ai, control precision, and period-specific rosters can affect consistency. In addition, battery saves, link cables, cartridge-specific hardware, the unlit display, and regional language can affect the original experience. This description covers only this release and excludes emulator features, modern-port conveniences, and content from other platforms.

Easy portable tennis with varied formats, but thin competition and presentation.
All Star Tennis 2000 works best as approachable portable tennis. Its compact, effective GBC controls support a quick match without an elaborate input scheme. Tournament play, consecutive Arcade opponents, ordinary singles and doubles, and Bomb Tennis provide different session goals across eight courts. Bombs appear where the ball bounces and later knock players away, adding a positioning hazard to familiar rallies. Those formats offer variety rather than deeper competition. The computer's weakness against lobs undermines solo play, while rough portraits and sparse music leave the presentation thin. This is suited to players seeking simple matches and unusual rules. Linked multiplayer requires two Game Boy Colors and a cable. Other platforms' similarly named games are outside this assessment, as are unverified saving and performance claims.
Strengths
- Simple, effective native handheld controls.
- Several match goals and delayed bounce-position hazards.
Weaknesses
- Weak computer response to lobs.
- Thin portraits and music.
Who it is for: Portable players seeking accessible short matches and unusual rules.
Play notes: Two-player play needs two GBC systems and a cable; other platforms, unverified saving and performance are excluded.
