get angry. Next, get ready to swing. In ten seconds, press A
as many times as possible. If you press it 100 times, you will
get the Silver Racket. If you swing it 150 times you will get
the Gold Racket. Note: Try wrapping your hand in your shirt and
rub it over A until it ends. You should be able to get
either racket this way.

To get a Gold Racket easily, once you get the Iron Racket, equip
it and go to the lake at the training court. There should be a
boy swinging. Talk to him and say that he has a bad swing. You
will now be able to swing for ten seconds. You are instructed
to tap A as fast as you can, but you can also press B.
Get a friend to help you, with one of you pressing A and
the other B.

Hint: Playing in any of the training rooms,
competitions, matches, etc.:
When you are on the court, position yourself in the
center (or just slightly behind center ) when playing. This allows
you to be able to move quickly to any position on the court, because
you are the same distance from any point. After a return or serve,
go back to that position to prepare for a return ball. This will
help you greatly in your advancement and allow you to win and
return more balls, giving you more experience points, and allowing
you to dominate the court more.
Information in this section was contributed by Brandon Tumangday.
When playing against an opponent or in the training, read where
the ball will be going. If the opponent or the machine goes to
one of the upper or lower corners, position yourself between the
center of the court and the sideline closest to where the your
opponent is positioned. This will allow you to return the ball
easily if it goes to the sideline or to the center of the court.
The same thing works if the opponent goes to the upper center
or lower center. If upper, stand in the center because you will
have enough time to react because of the distance. If the opponent
comes close, go back slightly to get more time to react.
Information in this section was contributed by Brandon Tumangday.
When playing on the Wall trainer, if you stand close and can react
quickly, you will be able to return the ball rapidly to the wall,
allowing you to get the 50 returns goal quicker: Note: This will
not always work; it depends on how quickly you can move and hit
the ball without hitting the rotating pads and alternating high
and low returns. This is most difficult when you reach the higher
levels where there are faster and more pads to avoid. When you
get to the higher levels, stand about center back and alternate
high and low hits. This will work most, but not all of the time.
Just remember your ball return power. The speed will also be a
determining factor in how you can control and receive the ball
Information in this section was contributed by Brandon Tumangday.
When you finish all four levels in both training rooms, your next
goal will to beat your previous record. When you get to your highest
number of returns, beat it by one and then miss the ball. This
should give you good experience points, but allow you to keep
playing it for awhile since your goal each time will be just one
higher.

Hint: Always win:
Select adventure mode. If the score is 40-0 for your
opponents, save and quit. When you restart the game, it will be
0-0 again. The game only counts games and sets.

Hint: Easy wins:
Try to do a drop shot, then run up to the net and hit
the ball from side to side (after they hit the ball). You should
get a point after the third or fourth hit.

Hint: Always the Island Open Tournament:
Get to the Island Open Tournament. Immediately press
A + B + Start + Select when the match
starts to win that round. Repeat this four times to instantly
win the tournament.

Hint: Drop Shot technique:
Note: This trick only works in singles. When doing
a tough match (for example, Island Open against Mario), get close
to the net and use the drop shot (B + A) to lure
your opponent close. Then, when they are close and return the
shot, hit the ball to either side. They may dive and hit the ball,
but it will be weak. Smack the ball again when they are trying
to get up.

Hint: Smash Ace:
When you are in a singles or doubles match, you can
do a Smash Ace when you see a yellow circle. Go on the circle
and press B + A.

Hint: More experience:
After you have completed all of the wall mini-game
levels, talk to the girl in front of the door that is preventing
you from walking in. She will ask you if you are ready for the
master level of practice. Press B and she will ask if want
to try for an even easier level of practice. Answer "Yes".
Then, walk on any of the level numbers and press A. You
will get more experience.

When you enter the traveling team in singles mode, you will have
new equipment. Go to the training center and equip the Iron Shoes
or the Iron Racket. They both give you 150% more experience when
you win a match.

Hint: Choose partner:
Finish either Mario Challenge (singles is easier if
you use the "Drop Shot" trick technique). After that,
make sure you have an empty file or one you do not use. You now
have the option to pick either Harry or Kate (and make them left
or right handed).
