******************************************************************************
This FAQ contains Shift-JIS Characters so you need a CJK Viewer to view all 
the Japanese characters, I recommend you download a Japanese/English word 
processor called JWPce as most of this FAQ was written using it. It is 
downloadable at http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~grosenth/jwpce.html
******************************************************************************

My Japanese is very basic so don't expect the translations to be super 
accurate. This FAQ is to be used with the Mario Tennis FAQ/Guide written by
Shdrlm3 and I, to help you get through the Japanese version of Mario Tennis.
