      no-oil There’s an old saying in Mario Tennis—I know it’s on the GBC, probably the GBA too—that says, fall in love at 15—shame on you—fall in love at 30… and… you’re 45 you can’t love again.

      I gotcha covered! I used good ol’ strings on the ROM and thankfully the text is stored as standard ASCII, so it worked like a charm. Here’s what I found:

      Scoring in tennis
      is so romantic,
      don'cha think?
      First it's 15-love,
      then it's 30-love.
      It's so dreamy. But...
      Once both sides score,
      the love is gone...
      I guess love in
      tennis, is all
      one-sided...
      
      You don't think so?
      The first point is
      called 15-love.
      It's like first love at
      age 15. No other
      sport scores like that.
      
      Oh, I see you filled
      your heart with love
      and made the rankings.
      Does this mean that
      love has lifted you
      higher?
