Bowser Stage takes place on a floating court suspended by chains above a lake of lava. This game is a nod to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, where the player can collect and use power-ups against the player's opponent. The court pitches and shifts throughout the match, and the player will have to contend with the weird gravity as a result. Running up it will take the player more time, and the down slope will pull them down toward the lava. The ball also reacts differently to the surface angle. | Bowser Stage takes place on a floating court suspended by chains above a lake of lava.

The other major difference between this and normal tennis are the power-ups that are collected and used. They hover near the center of the net in glowing cubes (similar to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games) and become useable when a player sends a ball through one. The power-up then appears in the corner of the screen and can be used by pressing the {{button|n64| | The other major difference between this and normal tennis are the power-ups that are collected and used.

*'''Banana Peel:''' When the player uses this power-up, a banana peel attaches itself to the ball, then deposited on the court when the ball bounces. This puts a potential slipping spot on the court, forcing the players opponent to play around the peel, lest they slip and fall. However, if the ball does not hit the ground, but is volleyed, the banana has the potential to be placed on the other side of the court. | *'''Banana Peel:''' When the player uses this power-up, a banana peel attaches itself to the ball, then deposited on the court when the ball bounces.
