Power Shot

Power Shots are used in games such as Mario Power Tennis and Mario Superstar Baseball. They are used offensively and defensively to help the player.

In Mario Power Tennis there are two types of Power Shots; Offensive Power Shots and Defensive Power Shots. Every player has their own distinctive power shots. The offensive power shot is used when the ball is near the player. These come with special effects to confuse the opponent(s). Defensive shots are used when the ball is out of the player's reach. These shots are very helpful by returning shots that couldn't normally be saved. In fact, Defensive Power Shots can also negate the added effects from Offensive Power Shots.

One of the game's Power Shots, the Red Fireball.

In Mario Superstar Baseball power shots are used in either pitching or batting. if the player uses one when the player's pitching, the player will throw a ball that does varying things, making it hard for the opponent to hit. If the player uses it offensively when the player's hitting, the player will hit the ball in a way that is hard to catch for the CPU to catch.

Power Shots also appear in Mario Golf 64 as a stronger version of a specific club. There is a meter starting at six that decreases if shots are made that don't have full power. Some characters have special effects when a perfect power shot is executed like Mario's golf ball becomes a fireball.
