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.
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.
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
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: 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.
