The Mario Tennis RPG for the GBC had some NPC with this line about falling in love at 15, 30, 45, but I can't remember how it went lol

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?
