Camelot designs tennis games with fun in mind first. Hitting the ball is as simple as pressing the A button for Top Spin or the B button for Back Spin. The L & R buttons are used for Power Shots should you choose to launch them manually.

When Clay or Ace level up by winning matches and mini-games, they can improve their Power, Control, Side Spin, and Speeds skills plus add to their secondary skills like Serve, Stroke, Volley, Top Spin, and Slice, allowing you to customize your character just the way you want.

Choose exhibition mode and play a quick and casual match with the Mario crew. You can play as Clay or Ace or as any of the opponents you beat in Power Tour mode. You can use any of the Power Shots you've won from mini-games, in the exhibition mode
