The '''Zone Shot''' is a special move in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''. It allows the player to aim, then shoot the ball in a first-person perspective. This shot requires at least a third of energy; if the energy gauge appears yellow or green, the player can use the shot. Zone Shots are very fast and have the potential to inflict damage to the opponent's tennis racket, but only one third of it will get destroyed before it completely breaks. Zone Shots can be blocked with proper timing. [[Zone Speed]] can be used to slow down time, making reaching the ball and timing the block easier. Blocking a Zone Shot without Zone Speed will increase the player's energy gauge. [[Special Shot]]s will automatically block Zone Shots.

Mario performing a Zone Shot against Donkey Kong in Mario Tennis Aces
Mario aiming a Zone Shot

A Zone Shot is a special move in Mario Tennis Aces. It allows the player to aim, then shoot the ball in a first-person perspective. This shot requires at least a third of energy; if the energy gauge appears yellow or green, the player can use the shot. When using a Zone Shot, the player must press R Button or ZR Button to perform it, but the player must be inside a rotating star marker or serving; serves can be turned into Zone Shots. From there, the player can use Left Stick or the gyroscope to choose where they want to hit the shot. More energy is depleted depending on how long the player takes to choose the location. The player can also perform a Zone Shot from a serve. Zone Shots are very fast and have the potential to inflict damage to the opponent's tennis racket, but only one third of it gets destroyed before it completely breaks. Zone Shots can be blocked with proper timing. Zone Speed can be used to slow down time, making reaching the ball and timing the block easier. Blocking a Zone Shot without Zone Speed increases the player's energy gauge. Special Shots automatically block Zone Shots.

Fire Piranha Plants sometimes appear out of the pipes in Piranha Plant Forest instead of a regular Piranha Plant; if the ball is sent toward one, it will catch the ball and fire a Zone Shot at the opposing player. Enemies and bosses in Adventure Mode are also capable of using Zone Shots.
