Fire Cup
The Fire Cup is a tournament introduced in Mario Power Tennis as the first of two cups in the Gimmick Masters tournament. It takes place in three courts, in no particular order: Luigi's Mansion Court, Gooper Blooper Court, and DK Jungle Court. Its difficulty is comparable to the Mushroom Cup. Completing this cup allows the player to proceed to the Thunder Cup.
The Fire Cup is also the first tournament in Mario Strikers Charged in the Road to the Strikers Cup mode. It is split into two rounds- the preliminary rounds and the final rounds. During the preliminary rounds, the player must challenge three other randomly-chosen captains and their teams twice, once away from their home court and once at it for each captain. Every captain is fought once before the pattern is repeated. After winning all six matches, the player can move on to the finals.
The first finals match is against another random CPU team on a random court. If the player wins this match, they will move onto the Championship Game and challenge in current champion is a best-2-out-of-3 match. However, if the player loses, they must start the Fire Cup over again entirely. During the first playthrough of the Fire Cup, the current champion will be Bowser Jr., but after he is beaten, it will be randomized like every other challenge. The stadium in the championship match will always be The Lava Pit. After beating the champion, the player unlocks Bowser Jr. and The Lava Pit, and moves onto the Crystal Cup. Additionally, earning both the Golden Foot and Brick Wall Awards during the Fire Cup unlocks The Wastelands.
