00:06An all-star roster of Mario series favorites is ready to rally in full-blown tennis battles
00:12using their most tactical tricked-out shots ever.
00:16Mario Tennis Aces
00:19There are more than 15 playable characters, each with their own distinct characteristics.
00:25The varied playstyles on the Nintendo Switch system allow up to four players to step onto the court together.
00:32Today we'll mainly cover the essentials of the refined tennis gameplay.
00:36There's a variety of shots to serve up, like a basic shot, topspin, slice, and a lob that'll zoom over
00:45your opponent's head, just to name a few.
00:50Why not aim and then shoot?
00:55Introducing the all-new Zone Shot.
00:59It lets you pinpoint any spot you want to aim at using motion controls and send the ball crashing down.
01:08Zone Shots are really powerful, so if you get hit by one, your racket will take some damage.
01:15If your racket takes three hits, it'll break, forcing you to forfeit if it's your last one.
01:21It's an instant KO!
01:23Happy!
01:26But don't give up hope.
01:27You can stop a Zone Shot with a block.
01:30Return a shot with perfect timing, and you'll block, protecting your racket.
01:39It's no small feat to nail the timing just right.
01:43That's where Zone Speed comes into play.
01:46When using Zone Speed, the world around you moves in slow motion, allowing you to perform incredible feats, like chasing
01:54down a quick shot.
01:55It's no instant win card, but it makes it a bit easier to block powerful Zone Shots.
02:02Of course, you can't just spam Zone Shots and Zone Speed the whole match.
02:09You can only initiate these moves by using up some of your energy gauge.
02:15The energy gauge slowly fills up the longer you keep a rally going.
02:21But the fastest way to fill up your gauge is with the new Trick Shot.
02:27If a ball gets away from you, you can jump over to knock it back.
02:33It's a risky maneuver.
02:34If you don't judge the timing or distance correctly, you may waste your energy, or lose a point.
02:41But if you're successful, your energy gauge will get a big boost.
02:49Fill up your gauge, and it's go time.
02:52Initiate your ultimate shot, the Special Shot.
02:56It will eat up your energy in a big way, but this thing can really turn your tide.
03:01It may even destroy your opponent's racket in one hit.
03:04However, not even a Special Shot guarantees a win.
03:08There's always a chance it could be blocked, so watch out.
03:11In these intense matches, every move you make presents a risk, and hopefully, a reward.
03:17Your energy gauge could be the key to victory.
03:21Will you use it for an offensive Zone Shot?
03:24Or use it for some defensive Zone Speed?
03:30Let's say you go for the Zone Shot.
03:32Will you go for a Surefire Point?
03:34Or will you try to destroy your opponent's racket and run the risk of getting blocked?
03:43No-stop, split-second strategies may be the best part about Mario Tennis Aces.
