Black Mage begins the shot by creating a large purple rune on the ground. He levitates the ball, now glowing purple, in each of the four cardinal directions, spins, and casts the ball straight up in the air. The screen gets darker and flaming meteors streak down from the sky, including a big meteor which contains the ball. The big meteor slams into the basket, creating a large plume of fire.

If shot from outside the 3-point line, instead of casting the ball into the air, Black Mage shoots the ball with his wand. The ball takes on a red glow, with a tangled red ribbon of energy following it. A teammate needs to grab the ball and dunk it in the basket to complete the shot and make the plume of fire appear.

The Meteor Shot is Black Mage's Special Shot in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. It can be activated by tapping out a star shape twice. The sequence starts with the formation of a bright purple rune.[1] The ball glows purple as Black Mage moves it around before casting it straight up into the air. For visual effect, several meteors fall from the sky, and the ball is inside of a large meteor that slams into the basket, forming a brief burst of fire. If Meteor Shot is used outside of the three-point line, Black Mage instead uses his wand to shoot the ball, which glows red as it travels through the air, requiring a teammate to dunk it.[2]

The move's name is derived from Meteor, the most powerful Black Magic spell in the Final Fantasy games.
