Special Shot

A Special Shot is a move that any character can perform in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. Special Shots are activated by touching the Touch Screen at points to make a certain letter or symbol. The symbol can be an M, an L, a trangle, a W, an N, a B, an S, or a star. The symbol must be tapped out twice to perform the Special Shot, and characters cannot move while starting the Special Shot.

Special Shots are unstoppable if executed from inside the 3-point line and will always make it in the basket. However, if executed outside the 3-point line, a teammate needs to alley-oop by running up and dunking the ball, otherwise, if an opponent is blocking that teammate, the shot will miss.
