1: Introduction
Hello again and thanks for looking at my second FAQ. Mario Tennis for
the N64 was rather good, but I think Mario Power Tennis is a great new
game to play. You can perform the brand new Power Shots to try to stop
your opponents silly.
In this FAQ, I'll explain all the things I've found in this game.
Don't start complaining to me if you got problems. Find out more on the
'E-Mail Policy' topic. Let's get started shall we?
========================================================================
2: E-Mail Policy
If you're going to e-mail me, you must follow these guidelines.
1. I won't accept information that I already have on this FAQ.
If you're going to waste my time and e-mail me, it must not be in this
FAQ. I HATE answering questions I've already answered. Before
e-mailing me, read the whole FAQ. If you don't see what you want, then
e-mail me. Be careful though, because sometimes, I'll update this FAQ
and the e-mails you send me might be useless to me by then.
2. Subject
The e-mails you send me MUST be on this game. If your e-mail doesn't
do anything with this game, then I'll just get rid of it. If I
receive an e-mail from you, I'll write you back. If I don't receive
your e-mail, then I won't write back. It's as simple as that.
3. Credit
If you find anything that I never found, please e-mail me. I'll add it
to my FAQ. However, don't write anything that I find first, I'll just
remove it. If you do find anything (tips, tricks, etc.), please
e-mail me.
Follow these guidelines and everything will be okay. Thanks for your
cooperation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3: Characters
************************************************************************
Mario Type: All-Around
Offensive Power Shot: Mario strikes the ball very hard with a hammer.
Opponents who hit the ball will get knocked back a long distance.
Defensive Power Shot: Mario spins rapidly to the ball to hit it.
My Rating: 3/5. Basically, Mario's average rated. He does have good
strengths, but he is lacking in some key elements. Nevertheless, he's
still a good character.
************************************************************************
Luigi Type: All-Around
Offensive Power Shot: Luigi strikes the ball with a mallet similar to
the one in Mario Party 4. Opponents will have their controls reversed
if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Luigi uses the Poltergust 3000 to bring the ball
back into play.
My Rating: 3/5. Just like Mario, Luigi is also lacking in some key
elements. Fortunately, Luigi has a good reach, making him a prime
defensive character.
************************************************************************
Peach Type: Technique
Offensive Power Shot: Peach ends up striking the ball while spinning.
Opponents will end up running to the net if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Peach does a kiss to bring the ball back to her,
and then she hits the ball with high trajectory.
My Rating: 4/5. Peach can be a tough character to beat if you're not
careful. She has a great technique rating, and her Offensive Power
Shot has a distracting curve. She's good for beginners and experts.
************************************************************************
Daisy Type: Technique
Offensive Power Shot: Daisy turns her racket into a huge flower and
then strikes the ball. Opponents will end up running to the net if
they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Daisy dives for the ball from a long distance.
My Rating: 3/5. Daisy is not as good as Peach. She's not too good at
the defensive position, but she does good with her technique, and her
Offensive Power Shot can really cause trouble to those that don't see
it right away.
************************************************************************
Yoshi Type: Speed
Offensive Power Shot: Yoshi flutters as he hits the ball. Opponents
will slow down if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Yoshi turns into an egg and rolls to hit the
ball. He also changes color during the process.
My Rating: 4/5. Yoshi's quick on his foot work, and I like his
ability to change colors. Of course, color change doesn't affect
Yoshi's abilities. Anyway, Yoshi has a good balance, and he has many
distinct advantages that make him good.
************************************************************************
Koopa Troopa Type: Speed
Offensive Power Shot: Koopa transforms the ball into a bubble and
performs a super drop shot that can really disturb opponents.
Opponents will slow down if they hit the ball, and the ball can easily
go out if you hit it too hard.
Defensive Power Shot: Koopa curls into his shell and spins to hit the
ball.
My Rating: 4/5. Koopa can be a threat if you don't watch him. His
Offensive Power Shot is very annoying near the net, because it can
cause a lot of pain to those that aren't near it. Koopa is pretty much
like Yoshi, but he does have a poor reach.
************************************************************************
Donkey Kong Type: Power
Offensive Power Shot: Donkey Kong goes into a barrel cannon and fires
out to strike the ball hard. Opponents who hit the ball will get
knocked back a long distance.
Defensive Power Shot: Donkey Kong turns his racket into a banana-like
boomerang and throws it to hit the ball.
My Rating: 4/5. Donkey Kong's a strong character, despite of his slow
speed. I even like to knock my foes off guard with his tricks. He's
powerful and shouldn't be misjudged, and he has a good reach as well.
************************************************************************
Diddy Kong Type: Speed
Offensive Power Shot: Diddy sets up his aim to hit the ball in a
banana-shaped path. Opponents are temporarily stunned if they hit the
ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Diddy puts on his rocket pack and flys for the
ball.
My Rating: 3/5. Diddy is mostly average rated, because he doesn't have
as mush potential as most other characters. He does have some strong
points fortunately, but not quite good enough.
************************************************************************
Wario Type: Power
Offensive Power Shot: Wario puts on the object he got from Bowser and
strikes the ball hard. Opponents will become electrified temporarily
if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Wario uses a device that extends far enough to
hit the ball back into play.
My Rating: 2/5. Wario isn't too good. He's slow and his moves just
aren't cutting it for him. Don't bother with him unless you're an
expert with this game.
************************************************************************
Waluigi Type: Defense
Offensive Power Shot: Waluigi spins like a cyclone and hits the ball.
Opponents will become dizzy if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Waluigi swims to the ball and returns it.
My Rating: 2/5. Waluigi is rather slow. He isn't that great, but his
good reach for balls can really cause problems for players. He's
mostly a defensive character, but his size does make it easy for balls
to hit his nose. Unless you're real good with this game, leave Waluigi
alone.
************************************************************************
Bowser Type: Power
Offensive Power Shot: Bowser breathes fire at the ball and strikes it.
Opponents who hit the ball will get knocked back a long distance.
Defensive Power Shot: Bowser curls into his shell and spins to hit the
ball.
My Rating: 3/5. Even though he's slow, Bowser packs quite a punch at
times. He seems to be more of an average character at my case.
************************************************************************
Bowser Jr. Type: Tricky
Offensive Power Shot: Bowser Jr. surrounds the ball with paint and
splits the paint balls to make 3 of them. Opponents will slow down if
they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Bowser Jr. runs to the ball to hit it with his
brush.
My Rating: 3/5. Bowser Jr. does play a mean game when it comes to
trickery, but his moves are countered rather easily. Probably not your
best choice if you want to use a good tricky player.
************************************************************************
Boo Type: Tricky
Offensive Power Shot: Boo creates a racket made by smaller boos and
strikes the ball hard. Opponents will have their controls reversed if
they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Boo summons other boos to hit the ball for him.
My Rating: 4/5. Boo is pretty tricky to handle at first, but he's a
deadly weapon if used by an expert. His Lunge is tough to use, but it
does hit lobs. Boo's Offensive Power Shot is absurdly distracting as
well, so keep your eyes on the ball. You need patience with Boo, but
it'll be worth it.
************************************************************************
Shy Guy Type: Technique
Offensive Power Shot: Shy Guy electrifies the ball and strikes it with
high trajectory. Opponents will become electrified temporarily if they
hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Shy Guy uses his long range racket to hit the
ball.
My Rating: 3/5. Shy Guy really isn't a good character to use.
Fortunately, he's average rated, thanks to his technique. He does have
some good uses, but he isn't the best to use at a defensive position.
************************************************************************
Fly Guy Type: Tricky
Offensive Power Shot: Fly Guy creates a cyclone and strikes the ball.
Opponents will become dizzy if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Fly Guy creates a twister to bring the ball back
to him.
My Rating: 4/5. Fly Guy's a tricky player to face. He can cause
mayhem each time he makes strong hooks with the ball. He's not meant
for beginners, but experts can really have a crazy time using Fly Guy.
************************************************************************
Paratroopa Type: Technique
Offensive Power Shot: Paratroopa strikes the ball with high trajectory.
Opponents will become dizzy if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Paratroopa drops to the ground to hit the ball.
Sometimes, he can get stuck in the ground after using this move.
My Rating: 5/5. In many ways, Paratroopa is the best character. He's
fast, and has the best Lunge in the game. He unfortunately has a poor
reach, but that disadvantage wouldn't matter as long as his Lunge
works. Paratroopa's a mighty good character, so you should try using
him.
************************************************************************
Wiggler Type: Defense
Offensive Power Shot: Wiggler turns red and strikes the ball hard.
Opponents will become dizzy if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Wiggler transforms into a butterfly to hit the
ball.
My Rating: 3/5. Wiggler does good when playing the net. Of course,
Wiggler's average rated since he does have some problems. He moves
slow, and his hits are rather weak. However, Wiggler has an excellent
reach, and can be a great defensive player.
************************************************************************
Petey Piranha Type: Power
Offensive Power Shot: Petey Piranha fills his racket with sludge and
hits the ball. Opponents will slow down if they hit the ball.
Defensive Power Shot: Petey Piranha releases a piranha plant to hit
the ball back for him.
My Rating: 1/5. Petey Piranha really isn't a good character to use if
you're a beginner. His head is so big that balls can easily hit him in
the face. Fortunately, Petey Piranha is very powerful and has an
excellent reach, but he's not a good defensive player. Petey Piranha
is only meant for experts, so don't bother with him until then.

4.1: Gimmick Courts
************************************************************************
Luigi's Mansion Court
Ghosts will end up surrounding the court. They'll slow you down and
cause trouble once they throw bananas on the court. Aim the ball at
the light bulb pad to clear them out temporarily.
************************************************************************
Delfino Plaza Court
Piranha Plants will spread sludge around the court to slow you down.
Step on the FLUDD pads to spray the sludge out of your side of the
court and make the ball land on the Piranha Plant pads to spray sludge
on your opponent's side of the court.
************************************************************************
Wario Factory Court
The conveyor belts will start moving once the ball hits the arrows
above the net. Use them to your advantage on your opponent, but be
careful that you don't speed up the belts on your side.
************************************************************************
Gooper Blooper Court
The areas of the court will move if the ball hits the arrows. The
shape of the court changes each time you move the platforms. The ball
is considered out-of-bounds if it hits the water though.
************************************************************************
DK Jungle Court
Klaptraps can be a pain when they bite you, because they'll slow down
your speed. Use them against your opponents and aim the ball at the
lightning pad to get rid of the Klaptraps on your side of the court.
************************************************************************
Bowser Castle Court
This court tilts a lot, so you need to be careful about where the ball
lands here.
************************************************************************
Mario Classic Court
Koopas, Crabs, Fighter flys, and Freezies are the main problem here.
You must aim the ball at the POW block above the net to get rid of
them. You'll lose your footing if you make contact on either of those
enemies. Freezies can cause your side of the court to become frozen
for 1 game if you don't stop them in time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2: Ring Shot
You must aim the ball through the rings to earn ring points. The
smaller the ring, the more ring points you'll earn. Score and you'll
earn all the ring points you got, and half of your opponent's ring
points will be given to you for the next serve. You can play a 100,
200, or 500 ring point match.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
