Power Shot

Power Shots are used in games such as Mario Power Tennis and Mario Superstar Baseball. They are used offensively and defensively. They are used 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 Mario Tennis Power Tour, there are 16 offensive shots and 16 defensive shots that the player can get by training at the training center. The 16 offensive shots are:

Power Shot, High Power Shot, Curve Shot, Slider Shot, Control Shot, Flash Flop Shot, Tackle Shot, Stunner Shot, Flying Shot, Gyro Shot, Dragon Shot, Sonic Shot, Blizzard Shot, Summoner Shot, Spector Shot, and the Volcano Shot

The 16 defensive shots are:

Running Save, Super Swift Save, Lunging Save, High- Jump Save, Quick Save, Quick Step Save, Hand Save, Physic Save, Bubble Save, Typhoon Save, Illusionary Save, Spider Save, Falcon Dive Save, Shark Bite Save, Shooting Star Save, and the Rainbow Save.

In Mario Superstar Baseball power shots are used in either pitching or batting. if you use one when you're pitching, you will throw a ball that does varying things, making it hard for the opponent to hit. If you use it offensivly when you're hitting, you will hit the ball in a way that is hard to catch for the CPU to catch. As with Mario Power Tennis, each player has their own special Power Shots or throws.
