To achieve a '''Power Serve''', toss the ball as normal and then strike it when it is at its highest. If you hit it at the very peak of its toss you will hit a very powerful serve and a trail of smoke will follow the ball.

== Scoring ==
The game is played like real tennis. There are sets of either two, three, or five matches won you can select from. If someone either...
*Hits the ball out of bounds
*Doesn't go over the net
*Overshoots the court
*Let the ball bounce twice
...the word "Out" pops up on the screen where the ball went out of bounds and the other teams gain more points. The points go up as this:
*00 (commonly called '''Love''')
*15
*30
*40
If the team gets the next point, then they win that match. If they win all the matches, then the team wins the game.
If both teams has 40 points, they both go to a sudden death round known as a '''deuce'''. There, whoever wins the next round gets the '''advantage''' and the team with the advantage wins if they also win the next round. However, if they lose, it goes back to '''deuce''' and must win the next round to go back to the '''advantage''' status.

== Bonuses ==
There is no reward if you get the pro level in Tennis. However, here is a little trick you can do if you're tired, bored, or just want to watch someone else to play. Click on yourself until both teams have the "?" by them. Do this and you will be able to watch two computer-controlled teams play against each other. You can move the camera by using the '''control pad'''.

A fun little challenge is to have all four positions have you on it. This means that you can control both teams movements! It doesn't effect your skill points if you do this fun little trick! It's a game to see if you can defeat yourself!
If it is a long round, you will see that the computer-control team will start to sweat and lose their focus. This can help you on the harder rounds!
There are two different cheers that come from the audience. One is just simply applause. The second cheer is when the entire crowd says "wow" when you win a round. To get the second cheer instead of the first, make the losing team win a round and make a stunning comeback.
The amount of players watching you on your side of the bench depends on how high you skill level is. The higher it gets, the more people will be watching and cheering you on.
After a round, a slow-motion will play, showing you how the ball went out of bounds. If the ball goes near the benches, you will see the Mii's jumping up & down very slowly as well!

== Skill Points==
You can increase your skill level only by playing the game in single-player mode and by not changing the computer controlled team. You can have two players play a game of Tennis, but you both have to be on the same team in order for this to work. There is no way to increase your skill level in three and four player modes.

The amount of skill points you get or take away depend on if you win the match and your preformance. If you lose, chances are you will lose points, but if you win, you might gain more. By the time you get to the Pro level (via reaching 1000 skill points), you will face off against the same two people each time.
