GN Version 5.0

- E3 demo had 1-on-1 (two player) and doubles (four-player) matches
- Giant Mode has Mega Mushrooms occasionally thrown onto the court
- grab one and your character will grow huge for an extended period and makes your reach further
- hitting a power shot as a giant can knock back your opponents during their return shot
- grabbing the Mushroom pauses the action to play an animation
- the game resumes the action a split-second in the past
- characters on display were Mario, Bowser, Peach, and Toad
- each varies in speed, power, and how pronounced trick shots affect the trajectory of the ball
- combinations of button presses result in a variety of trick shots
- this includes top spin, side spin, lob shots, and drop shots
- charge up shots for a bigger bang, at the cost of reduced mobility
