Super Mogura Tennis is one of several doujin games under the "Mogura" banner developed by Krobon Station back around 2007. Originally known for their freeware shooters, SMT is currently the last game in the Mogura series to be released as well as their first commercial title, distributed on various digital distribution sites. It features music by Notzan Act and Rengoku Teien.

Featuring quirky characters from their Mogura shooters like twins Tarou and Jirou, Snowgorilla, etc., the game features eight characters as well as a tournament and versus play. Interestingly, the game can also be changed to English, which just doesn't provide English text but also changes many menu/game graphics into English too. This game is also their first game to incorporate rudimentary 3D graphics. The game is an unconventional Tennis game in the vein of the later Mario Tennis games, and is fast and relatively fun to play. Krobon themselves state that the game is "Super Fun!"

The game has your typical serving, lobbing, spinning, smashing goodness found in Tennis games and different character stats, but it also has character-specific "Super Counters" as well as the nice "Kinetic Vision" feature. Super Counters are skills that return the shot in uncharacteristic ways. For example, Tarou's "Reverse Shot" bounces on the opponent's court and back on to yours for a free point (it can only be stopped if hit before it touches the court), NinjyaX's "Invisible Shot" is a powerful shot that can't be seen and you have to guesstimate how close it is to you, etc. Kinetic Vision is a feature that slows down time during smash hits to help you see and anticipate striking the ball better even despite it moving over 200km at times (basically, it's a feature of anime tennis). Once activated, it takes a while to refill before it can be activated again; any smashes during such time move at full speed and are difficult to anticipate.

The game has great music and is a fun little title, and unconventional within the doujin community (sports games). The ball physics are good and serving and hitting requires only a little practice. The only problems are that the graphics are pretty bad (320x240 resolution) and the scoring doesn't make a whole lot of sense in Tournament Mode (ranked from G/lowest to S/highest).
