Mario Power Tennis
Power Shots are special attacks unique to each character in Mario Power Tennis that are triggered from a button combination depending on the control scheme. After a set time, players' rackets glow and make a special sound to indicate that they can use a special shot. If players press 
in start of a button combination, their characters also glow; computer opponents often glow when they lose a point and have a power shot available. There are two types of Power Shots: Offensive Power Shots and Defensive Power Shots. The offensive power shot is used when the ball is near the player. These come with special effects to disorient the opponent(s). If a player with a glowing racket returns an Offensive Power Shot, the glowing effect is removed and the player must recharge their racket.
If players set their control scheme to manual, offensive power shots triggered may fail if players are too far from the ball. If the control scheme is automatic, a Defensive Power Shot is performed instead.
Defensive shots are weaker special shots that help players reach the ball. In fact, Defensive Power Shots can also negate the added effects from Offensive Power Shots. Some Defensive Power Shots may fail if the ball is too far away, such as Mario's, Princess Daisy's, and Petey Piranha's.
