The unlockable stage has differences to the one played in Galaxy Rally; it lacks disappearing green platforms and it takes place in an another location. Also, it has max bounce and max speed. There are two varieties to this court: the Morph and the Crystal court. The Crystal court plays normally, but the Morph court has an added gimmick. When a player performs a chance shot, and if the chance shot does not get volleyed, the type of floor on the opponents court changes to various patterns from other courts in this game, which affect ball velocity and bounce. A unique floor, a black hole pattern, erratically alters the direction of the ball bounce into one extreme direction. Only one part of the court can get altered: the player must perform a chance shot to change the pattern in the opponents court and the player must perform a chance shot to remove the court's current pattern.

*As opposed to its reference to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Galaxy Arena is the only accessible place in the ''Mario'' series where the player is able to view both the Comet Observatory and the [[Gateway Galaxy]]'s starting planet visible at the same time in close proximity. Unlike in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the player cannot visibly see both the observatory and the planet at the same time.
*[[Ring Shot]] is not playable in this court.

Galaxy Arena is a galaxy-based court in Mario Tennis Open. It has objects from Super Mario Galaxy, such as shrinking platforms, a Launch Star, Star Bits, a planet from the Gateway Galaxy, a black hole, Turquoise, Red and Green Lumas, and the whole Comet Observatory in the distance. The special game Galaxy Rally is played on this court, where the Star Chips appear on the court, and the player may try to collect them by hitting the tennis ball at them to receive coins. It is an unlockable stage, and it can be unlocked by completing the Final Cup in the Star Open Tournament.

Galaxy Arena in the Galaxy Rally minigame

The unlockable stage has differences from the one played in Galaxy Rally; it lacks the shrinking platforms and it takes place in another location. Also, it has two varieties: the Crystal court, which provides max speed and max bounce for the ball but cannot be played on in Tournament mode, and the Morph court, which uses various surfaces from other courts in the game affecting ball speed and bounce. When the player performs a chance shot, and the ball hits the ground, the surface on the opponent's side of the court changes and their own surface returns to normal. A unique surface with a black hole pattern erratically makes the ball bounce into one extreme direction. While this surface is used in all rounds of the Final Cup, different sets of three other surfaces are used in each round. The starting round uses the hard, mushroom, and stone surfaces. The clay, ice, and wood surfaces are used in the semifinals, and the final round uses the grass, carpet, and sand surfaces.
