Lightning Spear

Lightning Spear is the Offensive Power Shot used by Shy Guy in Mario Power Tennis. When used, Shy Guy turns into a Spear Guy, and then does a chant in front of the ball. The screen turns dark, as a stream of lighting falls down to the ground, hitting the ball. This launches it into the air as a Lob Shot. However, a small star appears on the part of the ground it is going to land on, so the opponent can hit it back with ease. However, when the foe hits it back, he/she gets electricuted for a small while, preventing him/her from moving around. Fly Guy's Special Shot in Mario Hoops 3 on 3, the Thunder Shot, might be based on the Lightning Spear.
