In an attempt to avoid mass plagerism and selling ad profit of my FAQ's, I
add in pointless (not really in the long run) spaces during normal skipped
lines. For proof, highlight this following line:
See that? Yep. Now, try and copy and paste this into an E-Mail. It got quite
****ed up didn't it? Don't bother coping and pasting my FAQ's. It just
won't work.
Note:These spaces will have NO effect when viewed from CheatCC, or any
other site directly linking to this FAQ.

~II.Controls~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahhhh...the controls of the game. Pretty much the most important factor when
playing a game. Without good controls you can't understand, you aren't gonna
get very far in the game. Luckily, Mario Power Tennis has easy to play
controls that you will adapt to quickly (or right into if you ever played
Mario Tennis 64)
Controls while not in Tennis Matches:
A Button-Select/Confirm Choices
B Button-Cancel choices/Go back to previous screen
L Button-On character select screen, push L to make them a Left handed player
R Button-On character select screen, push R to make them a Star player (If
you have unlocked the Star Version for that perticular character)
X Button-No use
Y Button-No use
D-Pad-No use
C Stick-No use
Z Button-No use
Control Stick-Move around to select options
Controls while in Tennis Matches:
A Button-Hit the ball with topspin. Hold button ot have more control on
where the ball is aimed at
A-->A-Put Topspin on the ball (You'll know if you did it right if there is a
Red Flame coming from the ball when you hit it)
B Button-Hit the ball with a slice. This makes the ball low and fast. Hold
the button to have more control on where the ball is aimed at
B-->B-Put Super Slice on the ball for a very low and very fast effect (You'll
know you did this right if a Blue Flame is trailing from the ball)
A-->B-Do a Lob Shot, which sends the ball flying high in the air towards the
back of the court.
B-->A-Do a Net Shot, this type of shot places the ball right infront of the
opponets net, so if they can't reach it in time, you'll easily get the point.
X Button-Use a Power Shot
Y Button-Use a Power Shot
R Button-Not used alone
L Button-Not used alone
Z Button-Change Camera
R+B-Use a Defensive Power Shot
R+A-Use an Offensive Power Shot
L+A/B-Lunge for the ball
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~II A.Rules of Tennis~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can't play Tennis unless you clearly understand the rules. Please refer
to my (not so great) drawing of a tennis court:

6 7
This is a tennis court. Here's an explaination:
1=The Net. Gotta hit over the net to keep the ball in volley. If you don't,
the other player gets the point!
2=Service Line. This is the line the player must stand behind when serving.
On the serve, the ball must travel into the far side of the court diagonal
from you. Afterr the serve this becomes a boundary line, anything hit past it
is out.
3=Split Line. This is the line that splits half of your side of the court.
On the serve, the ball must land in the upper 2 squares.
4=Inner Courts. These courts CANNOT be served into on the serve. If they are,
it is considered a Fault. After the serve these areas become fair game.
5=Out Boundaries. These small boundaries on both sides of the court are
considered Out during a Singles Match, however, these areas are considered
In during a Doubles Match.
6=If your "6" behind the line, the serve must land in the other area marked
"6".
7=If your "7" behind the line on the serve, the serve must land in the other
"7" on the other side of the court.
I hope that clarifies a lot of stuff. I'm sure you understand Tennis much
better now don't you?
(Another note. This is Line 310-ish)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III.Characters~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a lot of different characters in Mario Power Tennis to keep variety
alive. Each character is seperated into a special catogory, which is their
strength. Here are the catogories:
Speed-Fast characters on the courts and can reach the ball in time
Technique-Smart characters who can place balls on the corners of the court
Defense-Tall characters who can get close to the net and reach any passing
ball
Power-Characters that hit the ball with tremendous strength
Tricky-Characters that have a big curve when they hit the ball, which can
confuse opponets as to where it is going
All-Around-Players who have a bit of strength in all of the above catogories
Not to mention everyone has 2 types of Power Shots. A Defensive Power Shot
which is used to retrieve the ball when it's out of reach, and an Offensive
Power Shot to slam the ball in the opponets face and give them other
effects. But, you can't just use Power Shots whenever you want. As you can
see, your racket is spinning light on it. When this light forms a complete
circle, your racket is charged up. Now you can use a Power Shot. Use them
whenever you want to, makes no difference. Here's the list of every
character, type of character, Power Shots, a brief bio, and if they are good
to use or not.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III A.Mario-All Around~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Come on people! We all know the famous Mario! Being tired of rescuing
Princess Peach from Bowser in pretty much every non spinoff game, Mario has
been a pretty darn busy man.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Mario Tornado-Mario spins rapidly towards the ball to send it
back over the net.
Offensive:Super Hammer-Mario pulls out his classic big, black hammer to smash
the ball to the other player's court. The player upon contact gets knocked
back pretty far.
6/10-Mario is lacking in some key catogories and isn't very fast. His
Defensive Power Shot can put him far away form the net, where a nice smash
can ruin him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III B.Luigi-All Around~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The man in green is back! Luigi is a pretty decent character and is suitable
for beginners as well. He hasn't really starred in many games since Luigi's
Mansion, but he still is pretty cool.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Poltergiest Return-Luigi throws his racket and pulls out his
Poltergiest 3000 to have the ball come in contact with his thrown racket.
Offensive:Squeaky Hammer-Luigi pulls out an odd looking, kiddy squeaky
hammer to pound the ball with a green glow, and knocing the player far back
upon contact.
6/10-Luigi is pretty much the same as Mario. His Offensive Power Shot has the
exact same effect, and his Defensive is easily smashed against. He seems to
be a bit better than Mario, but no by much.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III C.Peach-Technique~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The infamous damsel in distress, Peach is ready to hit the courts once again.
Dressed up for the occasion in a cute skirt, Peach has mean Power Shots, and
when the Computer uses her in harder Tounements, the cute princess acts like
an evil person.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Blown Kiss-Peach blows a lovely kiss that brings the ball back to
her to hit back to you.
Offensive:Peach Dance-Peach spins around a few times to knock the ball hard
into your side of the court. Upon contact, you will be momentarily stunned.
8/10-Peach is a really good character. Her Power Shots don't show any
weaknesses, especially her Defensive, which is really good. She is a good
Technique player, and can be used form beginner to experts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III D.Daisy-Technique~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The princess of Sarasaland and was once a damsel in distress serves it up
Mario Tennis style. Daisy hasn't been in many games....only the Mario
Spinoffs....actually only the spinoffs. That, and the fact she has been known
to have a lack of remembering her own name one time.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Flower Dive-Daisy makes a line of flowers appear in front of her,
and then dives into them to reach the ball.
Offensive:Power Flower-Daisy's racket turns into a huge flower, which has
Daisy hit the ball hard having the player get knocked back far upon contact.
7/10-Daisy is a pretty useful character, but its just that her defensive
Special plain and simple isn't very good, and it is pretty much the only one
I have ever seen not get the ball back onto the other side of the court.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III E.Wario-Power~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wario has been known for his endless greed and wealth. Not to mention his
enomous bulk...lol. But of course you can't forget about his hige muscles,
which he really puts to work.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Extend-O-Grabber-Wario pulls out a strange device and makes a funny
noise, then pushes the handle and the spring streaches so the racket knocks
the ball back on your side of the court.
Offensive:Electric Hammer-Wario straps onto his back an odd device with a
hammer attached to the end of it, and the hammer knocks Wario on his noggin
confusing him. Wario then smashes the ball and the ball is then electrified,
and the player upon contact of the ball gets electrified, and gets frozen in
their tracks every few seconds for about 5 seconds.
5/10-Wario isn't a very good character. He is slow, his specials aren't very
useful, and he isn't as powerful as he is claimed to be. If you like Wario go
right ahead and choose him, but I personally don't see him as a very good
character.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III F.Waluigi-Defense~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waluigi, plain and simple, has no backround whatsoever. He just appeared in
Mario Tennis 64 as a partner for Wario. Perhaps his purpose as a character
will arise in the near future...but for now were stuck with an odd character.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Wet Willy Stroke-Waluigi gives himself a wet willy to cause a pool
of water to appear on his side of the court. He then swims to the ball and
hits it back to the other side.
Offensive:Whirluigi-Waluigi strikes a pose with his famous upside down "L"
and then starts to spin rapidly around, hitting the ball. The player upon
contact of the ball we momentarily spin around in place for a few seconds.
4/10-Waluigi is actually real garbage instead of a player. He has true crap
for specials (Although they look neat) and he is utter weak. His only true
good side is that he plays a mean net game, but other than that he is as
useless as his storyline is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III G.Yoshi-Speed~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshi is that cute dinosaur we all know of course! (And being used as LUEshi
>_> <_<). He's a pretty good character, and is fast on the courts, and the
fruit loving dinosaur has some intresting Power Shots...
Power Shots:
Defensive:Egg Roll-Yoshi balls up into an egg and rolls quickly to the ball
which he then hits it back over the the other side. NOTE:After beating the
Flower Cup on Doubles, this Power Shot gets an upgrade. Whenever used, Yoshi
will change color! The colors are Red, Blue, Light Blue, Pink, Orange, Black,
Yellow, and White.
Offensive:Flutter Rainbow-Yoshi hops into the air and kicks his feet to
sustain being in the air. Then he smashes the ball with a rainbow trail. The
player upon contact of this shot will get knocked back a bit and momentarily
stunned.
8/10-Yoshi is a really good character. His Power Shots can really harm you
(Especially if at an angle) and you just can't argue with him changing colors
:) He's good for beginners, and me being an expert, I still use him, and I
still find his speed very useful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III H.Koopa Troopa-Speed~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Koopa's have been around since Mario's earily years. you just can't complain
that they aren't old school. Koopa Troopa does have some intresting Power
Shots that are a bit..odd him being a Koopa and everything....
Power Shots:
Defensive:Water Slide-Koopa retracts into his shell and with some watery
action quickly manuvers his way over to the ball and hits it back over the
net.
Offensive:Water Ball-Koopa transforms the ball into a glob of water and sends
it just barely over the net where it gets a very weak bounce, and the player
upon contact....gets no special effect.
4/10-Koopa Troopa is really, really bad. He is incrediably weak, and he has
uber crap for Power Shots. I mean seriously, the stupid net shot? Pushing
B-->A does the exact same thing! Not to mention it is disorianting when you
move with him, as he gets into his shell and moves that way. Stay away from
him, he is not very good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III I.Donkey Kong-Power~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donkey Kong has been around ever since Mario's first game pretty much, and
the two of them have shared a rivalry for pretty much 20 years. Donkey Kong
natually has Power Shots themed to his nature and just plain the games he has
starred in.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Banana Boomerang-Donkey Kong transforms his racket into a banana
and sends it flying to the ball to hit it back to the other side of the
court.
Offensive:Barrel Cannon-Donkey Kong slams the ground to have a giant barrel
drop down nearby. He jumps in it and is propelled full force towards the ball
which slams it to the other players court, who upon contact is knocked far
back.
7/10-Donkey Kong and his long arms make him quite useful on the court. His
Power Shots are very useful, and he's overall a good character. What he lacks
in speed he makes up for in power.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III J.Diddy Kong-Speed~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diddy Kong is just part of the Kong family. He's pretty much just a kiddy
version of Donkey Kong, but I still think he is a pretty cool charcter.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Rocket Return-Diddy Kong straps on a rocket pack, and boosts around
in a circle towards the ball and hits it over to the other side.
Offensive:Banana Curve-Diddy Kong slams the ball into a curve in the shape
of a banana. When the player comes upon contact of the ball they will be
momentarily stunned.
6/10-Diddy Kong isn't a very great character, but he isn't a bad one. He is
quite fast on the court, but his Power Shots aren't anything special, and he
has a little bit of lag after his defensive Power Shot ends as well, not
making it very useful in the long run.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III K.Boo-Tricky~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boo is the infamous ghost that has sometimes hindered Mario's quest for
glory, not to mention they have been an annoyance. But we have here a nice
and supposedly friendly Boo in Mario Tennis, and its cute voice is really
awesome.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Boos 'a Plenty-Boo summons a ton of smaller Boo's, which head for
the ball and easily return it back to the other side.
Offensive:Big Boo Bash-Boo summons all of the smaller Boo's again to combine
into one giant Boo, which then is used to smack the ball hard with a really
big curve. Upon contact of the ball, the player is stunned with a few tiny
Boo's circling around them.
9/10-Boo, if mastered, can be a dominating character. Of course, he takes a
ton of practice to get used to, but his Offensive Power Shot is just complete
PWNage if you get the chance to use it, that and the fact he adds a really
useful curve to his shots, makes him even more useful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III L.Shy Guy-Technique~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shy Guy has been just that-A guy who is afraid to show his face in public,
literally. He wears his white mask with 2 eyeholes and a small mouthhole.
And still to this day nobody knows what lies behind his mask.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Tribal Stick-Shy Guy gets his Hawaiian tiki clothes on and uses
his racket as a long stick to reach the ball.
Offensive:Tribal Spear-Shy Guy gets his tiki clothes on again and does a
little dance, then using his racket with 4 sharp points, summons a
thunderbolt to strike the ball. Upon contact, the player is electrified
momentarily every few seconds for about 5 seconds.
8/10-Shy Guy has very useful Power Shots as well as his type. He can really
screw other people up with his special, just be careful when using it, the
ball is a Lob Shot, and you may get screwd yourself if you're not prepared.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III M.Bowser-Power~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheesh....how do we NOT know Bowser? He's kiddnapped Peach like...80 times
or something. And every single time his plans are foiled by Mario. By now
you would think he would have gotten another hobby....
Power Shots:
Defensive:Shell Shocked-Bowser retracts into his shell and spins his way
over to the ball and hits it back to the other player.
Offensive:Bowser Flamthrower-Bowser breathes fire all over the ball and
forcefully sends it back over to the other player, who upon contact gets
knocked back very far.
7/10-Bowser's true power lies in.....well his power. He's just a natural
strong tennis player and even though he can't run too fast, his Offensive
Power Shot can really harm somebody else.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III N.Bowser Jr.-Tricky~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduced in Super Mario Sunshine, Bowser Jr. is pretty much Bowser's 8th
son, after his other 7 Koopalings :). He's got some stupid bandana on that
makes him look all scary and all that crap. Stuid stuff really....
Power Shots:
Defensive:Junior Twist-Bowser Jr. spins around really fast and hits the ball
back to the other side of the court.
Offensive:Paintball Panic-Bowser Jr. paints the Tennis Ball, and sends out
3 at a time, one of them being the real one. The player once hit upon get
the effects of being slown down for a few seconds. On a side note, the real
ball is always the middle ball.
5/10-Bowser Jr., out of all the Tricky players, has the least bit of a curve
to his ball. What's even worse is his Power Shots. If you use one it's pretty
much just giving a point to the other person. Both of his Power Shots are
easily countered against, making him a mediocre character.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III O.Fly Guy-Tricky~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, in my time I have NEVER once played a game with a Fly Guy in it.
I've seen Shy Guys, Pyro Guys, Stilt Guys, even (My favorite)General Guy,
but I've never seen a normal propeller lodged in their head Fly Guy. Still
though, Fly Guy is pretty cool and has good curving shots.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Tornado Return-Fly Guy spins around rapidly to cause a tornado to
form, which goes to fetch the ball and bring it back to Fly Guy, who then
hits it back into the other players' court.
Offensive:Tornado Twist-Fly Guy turns upsidedown and rotates his propeller to
create a tornado and hits the ball with the tornado still spiraling around
the ball. When the player hits upon it, he is entrapped in the tornado for a
few seconds and cannot move during that time.
7/10-While Fly Guy isn't the best character, he is a pretty cool one. His
power shots are quite average and nothing special, but his Offensive Power
Shot can easily be put to good use.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III P.Paratroopa-Technique~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paratroopa is just.....a flying Koopa. Wow...that took like 2 seconds to
come to that conclusion. Paratroopa is a pretty intresting character, with,
in my opinion, the coolest looking Power Shots.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Sky Dive-Paratroopa flies high into the air, strikes a pose, then
he quickly dives toward the ball to send it back to the other side of the
court.
Offensive:Energy Ball-Paratroopa does a little pose then he hits the ball,
which turns the area to dusk and the ball is a glowing sphere. Upon contact,
the player will be momentarily stunned.
5/10-Paratroopa is just plain useless, and worst of all his Power Shots are
absolute and utter crap. His Offensive Power Shot has a really high lob,
and that's pretty much saying a free point to the other player, and
Paratroopa's Defensive Power Shot leaves some lag time before he is
controllable again. Not a very good pick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III Q.Wiggler-Defense~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep folks, you are reading correctly. The cute caterpiller Wiggler is
actualy a playable character. He is just like the Wiggler's form Super Mario
Land and Super Mario 64, but don't think he is like the one in Super Mario
Sunshine (I can't beleive that was considered Wiggler...ugh). His Power
Shots have him doing stuff from previous games he has been in, but he is
pretty darn slow.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Butterfly Return-Wiggler transforms into a butterfly (Just like he
did in Mario Party 5) and rushes to the ball to hit it back over the net.
Offensive:Anger Management-Wiggler gets pissed off and turns red (As if Mario
had just stomped on him) and angerly hits the ball to the other player. Upon
contact, the player will be momentarily stunned.
6/10-Wiggler is quite an intresting character indeed...just not one that is
too good. His Power Shots are really intresting though, but he is pretty damn
slow like I already said and a lob makes his net game almost worthless.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~III R.Petey Pirhana-Power~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, Petey Pirhana is in Mario Power Tennis. I am quite sure everyone by now
is sick and tired of seeing him. Petey Pirhana was one of the first bosses
you faced in Super Mario Sunshine. Nobody thought much of him until he
appeared in Mario Golf:Toadstool Tour. He was large, huge, and way
overpowered to the extreme. Then, his big fat head always got in the way
when he appeared in Mario Kart:Double Dash!! As if it wasn't enough, they
just have to stick him in Mario Power Tennis.
Power Shots:
Defensive:Pirhana Swingback-Petey Pirhana throws up goop near the tennis ball
and out comes a pirhana plant with a tennis racket in its mouth, which it
uses to smack the ball back to the other side.
Offensive:Sludge Racket-Petey Pirhana swallows his racket, he then hits
himself in the stomach, and pukes it back out with sludge all over it, he
then uses it to smack the ball to the other player. Upon contact, the player
will be slown down for a few seconds.
3/10-Petey Pirhana is without a doubt the number 1 worst character in the
game. He is so slow it is not even funny, that and the fact you just plain
can't do net games with him. Why? He has such a huge head that the ball is
practically guaranteed to hit him in the face. He isn't a good character,
don't choose him period. He does suck.
Well, that concludes the (very very very) long characters section! Now we
can actually get on with the game itself!
