--Artist on the Court: Hit paintballs towards an uncolored portrait of mario on a brick wall--correctly color in all parts of his face w/in a certain time to win; can be done cooperatively with other players.
--Goober Blooper Volley: The giant squid has 4 rackets for his tentacles--he never misses a shot! See how long you can rally with him!

--Mecha Bowser Mayhem: Defeat Mecha Bowser by hitting bo-bombs & bullet bills at him, while avoiding his fiery breath!
--Coin Collectors: collect coins that shoot out of pipes
4) Other Info
--Each character has a "Power Shot" that you can use after building up your "power meter" (which is shown on your racket so that when the racket fully glows, you can use the power shot)
--You can "taunt" your player, which actually reduces thier power meter!
--You can player regular tennis like back in the day of N64, without power shots!
--Still features Lob Shots, Drop Shots, Top Spin, Backspin, and Smash shots!
--Players each have a specific type (like in MT64). For example, Boo is a "tricky" type, which means when he hits the ball, it will likely take sharp curves so as to be "tricky" to hit.
--An additional "defense" type is included, which seems to be Waluigi's, alhtough it hasn't yet been discovered what the type means.
