Tennis Masters

Tennis Masters layers special moves and power-ups onto a straightforward tennis rally, which means a well-placed shot alone isn't always enough to win a point, saving a special move for the right rally moment can turn a losing exchange around entirely.

Because power-ups appear during play rather than being available from the start, positioning to intercept one without abandoning your side of the court tends to matter more than chasing every power-up on sight. Mixing smashes and lobs rather than relying on one shot type keeps an opponent guessing, since a predictable shot pattern is easy to counter once they've seen it a few times. Ping Pong Go covers a similar racket-sport format with mode-based challenges instead of special moves.
