Cameos

Wario's Ultra Hand

Wario's Ultra Hand

Wario's defensive Power Move is called the "Ultra Hand" - an extendable claw that hits the ball back wherever it may be. This move is named after Nintendo's first successful toy, an extendable claw used to grab coloured balls, also called the Ultra Hand, released way back in 1966.

Mario Classic Court

Mario Classic Court

One of the Gimmick Courts is the Mario Classic Court, decorated with pixellated graphics from the original arcade Mario Bros.

Shellcreepers, Sidesteppers and Fighter Flies walk across the court, tripping your character. Hitting the POW Block above the net will knock the enemies over, allowing you to kick them off the court. Freezie appears and freezes sections of the court, reducing traction.

One of the minigames is set on the Mario Classic Court, and involves collecting Coins.
