White Mage begins the shot by levitating the ball in a circle around her, as four blue symbols magically appear on the ground around her. The symbols start emitting white columns of light and eventually become a bluish-white disk. White Mage touches the ball and casts it high into the air. The entire screen turns white, and the ball comes back down, creating a brilliant blueish-white light show when it enters the basket.
The move's name is derived from {{fandom|finalfantasy|Holy (ability)|Holy}}, the strongest {{fandom|finalfantasy|White Magic}} spell within the ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' games.


If shot from outside the 3-point line, the ball does not leave the screen. Instead, the ball is cast toward the basket with a gleaming white and blue trail. As usual, a teammate needs to dunk the ball in to complete the shot and make the light show appear.
The name of the shot comes from {{fandom|finalfantasy|Holy (ability)|Holy}}, a white magic spell in the ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' games. It was introduced in the first ''Final Fantasy'' game and is often the strongest offensive spell available to White Mages.

The Holy Shot is White Mage's Special Shot in the Mario Hoops 3-on-3. It can be activated by tapping out a star shape twice. The sequence begins with White Mage levitating the ball in a circle around her, followed by four light-blue symbols appearing on the ground and merging together.[1] White Mage then casts the ball high into the air, the entire screen turns white, and the ball launches straight into the basket, with light blue visuals appearing as aesthetic. If Holy Shot is used outside of the three-point line, White Mage casts it toward the basket with a gleaming white and blue trail instead, followed by a teammate dunking it.[2]

The move's name is derived from Holy, the strongest White Magic spell within the Final Fantasy games.
