Tic-Tac-Glow
Gameplay

Tic-Tac-Glow is a minigame in Mario Power Tennis.

Overview

Set in Delfino Plaza Court, players take turns shooting water balls from the nozzles to 3×3 goop spots on the opposing side to free Shine Sprites for points. After clearing the other side, miniature Petey Piranhas cover it again.

The difficulty levels are titled Glimmer Shine (Easy), Sparkle Shine (Normal), Dazzle Shine (Hard), and Tic-Tac-Glow Challenge (Bonus). The goal in "Glimmer Shine" is to get 50 seconds within two minutes (10 points in one minute in the New Play Control! release); "Sparkle Shine" requires 75 points within two minutes (30 within a minute in the New Play Control! release); and "Dazzle Shine" requires 75 points in 90 seconds (reduced to 60 in the New Play Control! release); and as many points in "Tic-Tac-Glow Challenge" within three minutes.

The water balls are shot from the water nozzles automatically in the New Play Control! release, rather than players pressing buttons on the floor.

Naming

The title is a play on "tic-tac-toe."
