Power Shots are special attacks unique to each character in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' that are triggered from a button combination depending on the control scheme.

If players press {{button|gcn|R}} in start of a button combination, their characters also glow; [[:File:MPT LuigiOPS.gif|computer opponents often glow when they lose a point and have a power shot available]]. There are two types of Power Shots: Offensive Power Shots and Defensive Power Shots. The offensive power shot is used when the ball is near the player. These come with special effects to disorient the opponent(s). If a player with a glowing racket returns an Offensive Power Shot, the glowing effect is removed, and the player must recharge their racket.
If a players presses {{button|gcn|R}} and either {{button|gcn|A}} or {{button|gcn|X}}, an Offensive Power Shot will be performed. These come with special effects to disorient the opponent(s). If a player with a glowing racket returns an Offensive Power Shot, the glowing effect is removed and the player must recharge their racket. Any offensive power shot that occurs before this will still have an effect on the receiving player, even if they use their own offensive power shot. [[Mario]]'s [[Iron Hammer]] is the exception, as it will cancel the knockback effects of any power shot he receives. If players set their control scheme to manual, the shot may fail if players are too far from the ball. If the control scheme is automatic, a Defensive Power Shot is performed instead.

If a player presses {{button|gcn|R}} and either {{button|gcn|B}} or {{button|gcn|Y}} a Defensive Power Shot will be performed. These are able to reach balls at greater distances, although some characters, namely Mario, [[Princess Daisy]], and [[Petey Piranha]], may not return the ball if they are too far away, even though the Defensive Power Shot is performed. Defensive Power Shots can also negate the added effects from Offensive Power Shots.  


Defensive shots are weaker special shots that help players reach the ball. In fact, Defensive Power Shots can also negate the added effects from Offensive Power Shots. Some Defensive Power Shots may fail if the ball is too far away, such as Mario's, Princess Daisy's, and Petey Piranha's.

History

Mario Power Tennis

Power Shots are special attacks unique to each character in Mario Power Tennis that are triggered from a button combination depending on the control scheme. If Power Shots are turned on, players' rackets will begin to glow and make a special sound after a set time to indicate that they can use a Power Shot.

If a players presses R Button and either A Button or X Button, an Offensive Power Shot will be performed. These come with special effects to disorient the opponent(s). If a player with a glowing racket returns an Offensive Power Shot, the glowing effect is removed and the player must recharge their racket. Any offensive power shot that occurs before this will still have an effect on the receiving player, even if they use their own offensive power shot. Mario's Iron Hammer is the exception, as it will cancel the knockback effects of any power shot he receives. If players set their control scheme to manual, the shot may fail if players are too far from the ball. If the control scheme is automatic, a Defensive Power Shot is performed instead.

If a player presses R Button and either B Button or Y Button a Defensive Power Shot will be performed. These are able to reach balls at greater distances, although some characters, namely Mario, Princess Daisy, and Petey Piranha, may not return the ball if they are too far away, even though the Defensive Power Shot is performed. Defensive Power Shots can also negate the added effects from Offensive Power Shots.
