[[Alex]], [[Nina (Mario Tennis series)|Nina]], [[Clay]] and [[Ace]] also play here to try to advance their way to varsity-ranked. Its ground is an orange-like color in all games. It has a slow speed and weak bounce, making drop shots more effective, but hindering the power of serves and stronger strokes. Defensive or fast characters are put to a slight advantage due to their statistics. | |
