'''Bicep Pump''' is the fourth [[minigame]] from the [[Game Boy Advance]] game ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]''. This minigame helps [[Clay]] or [[Ace]] build up PS Muscle, which can also be built up in [[Rope Climb]]. PS Muscle later benefits their [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Power Shot]]. The objective is to pop the balloons until the player reaches the given number of points within 60 seconds. The player must pop the balloons with a spiky ball. If the spiky ball hits the player with enough momentum, they become unconscious for a few seconds. The slowest balloons are the yellow balloons, which are worth one point. The second slowest balloons are the red balloons, which are worth two points. The fastest balloons are the blue balloons, which are worth three points. For each level, the points vary. For level one, the player needs to get 100 points, 150 for level two, and 200 for level three.
