Tips and secrets, cheats and codes
9 tips: 9 SecretsSecrets:
How can you play as a 'Star Character' in Mario Power Tennis and what are the benefits?

If you've won the star cup with a character, you can play with them as the 'Star Character'. Pressing R at the character selection screen in Mario Power Tennis will give your character a star, meaning they can hit the ball harder. For every other character, you'll need to win the Star cup again.
Secrets:
How can I effectively smash back a super shot during a match?
MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
When facing a tough opponent, save your super move until your opponent uses theirs, because using a defensive super move will always block it without any side effects (like spinning or moving slower, etc.). Countering with your own offensive super move can also be very useful, but be prepared for side effects like spinning or moving slower, etc.
Secrets:
How can I effectively use my Power Shot against a tough opponent?
MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
If you have your powershot ready, and so does your opponent, and your opponent is tough (not a novice or someone from the Mushroom Cup), it doesn't make much sense to use your offensive powershot. (They'll just block it anyway.) What you can do instead is wait for your opponent to use their attack, and then precisely as the ball is over the net, use your defense. (No, don't press the button quickly in succession; time it right!) This often results in hitting the ball past/over them. And they won't be expecting that; right after an offensive powershot, there's a brief pause before they can move/hit again. If your opponent is simple (Novice), then of course you can just go ahead and use your offensive powershot.
Notes:
- You need a defense that brings you to the ball (like Mario's spin or
Yoshi's egg) and not one that brings the ball to you (
Luigi's vacuum cleaner). If you do have such a defense, you need to be at the net to execute it.
- This doesn't work with some powershots/players. Like Paratroopa's lob.
- The opponent shouldn't be standing at the back.

Secrets:
How should players react when Luigi and Waluigi approach the net in Mario Power Tennis?
MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
Luigi goes straight to the net after touching the first ball. When he does that, don't lob, but hit to the opposite side instead of where he was initially. This way you almost always score the point. This also applies to Waluigi in Mario Power Tennis.
Secrets:

Once you've conquered the Star Cup, you can participate in the Star Tournament in Mario Power Tennis. If you manage to complete the Rainbow Cup, the Moon Cup, and the Planet Cup (which is quite challenging), you'll unlock the Ace difficulty level. Ace level is the toughest challenge and nearly impossible to beat.
