6) Training
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I. Courts
Service Practice
1. All you have to do is just serve into the target area, this is
very easy.
2. In this level, you do the same except you must hit the ball out
of bounds.
Bottom right side of screen - Get all the way to the left,
when you serve, aim to the corner and press the A button
Bottom left side of screen - Get all the way to the right,
when you serve, aim to the corner and press the B button
Top left side of screen - Get all the way to the right,
when you serve, aim to the corner and press the A button
Top right side of screen - Get all the way to the left,
when you serve, aim to the corner and press the B button
3. You have to serve from center to center. It is really hard, so
use the same method on this, except this time you must serve and get the
word NICE.
Service Match
1. Just try to get an ace.
2. You have to get an ace and serve it through the poles.
3. Score an ace, and you will get a point, you must score two more
points then your opponent to win.
Stroke Practice
1. This is kind of hard. He will serve the ball to your side and you
have to hit it back
2. This is lob practice. You have to return the server's serve, by
hitting a lob to the target area
3. You have to return the server's serve to the other side.
Example: If he serves from the left side, your return has to be to the
right side.
Stroke Match
1. This is like a regular game except for you cannot go past the
service line and you have to hit it past the line.
2. This is like a lob match, if he serves, you must not let him
score, if you serve, then you must score.
3. This is like a return match, just return it and score to get
a point.
Net Play Practice
1. You must serve, then run in front of the service line and
return his shot to the target area.
2. Just serve it and smash it to the target area.
3. Serve the ball, run to the net, and hit a droop shot.
Net Play Match
1. Serve the ball then try to score on the returner's shot
2. This is a smash match. The receiver must return a lob.
The server then has to score on a smash shot. Use the down-the-line
technique when you are serving.
3. This is a drop shot match. The server must play the net, and
the receiver must return the ball from behind the service line.
II. Facilities
Wall Room Practice
1. In level on you must hit it off the wall 50 times. Your game
will be over if you don't return the ball, or if you hit the ball
out-of-bounds. There will be a moving square on the wall. If you hit a
square pointing left, your ball will bounce left. If you hit the square
pointing right, your ball will bounce to the right.
2. In level two you must hit the ball off the wall 50 times. Your
game will be over if you don't return the ball, or if you hit the ball
out-of-bounds. There will be two moving squares. If you hit the red one,
your ball will bounce up. If you hit the orange one, your ball will bounce
down.
3. In level three you must hit the ball off the wall 50 times. Your
game will be over if you don't return the ball, or if you hit the ball
out-of-bounds. There will be two moving squares. The four arrows in the
squares will change the direction that they are pointing, and the big
squares will change the direction that they are moving.
4. In level four you must hit the ball off the wall 50 times. Your
game will be over if you don't return the ball, or if you hit the ball
out-of-bounds. There will be three moving squares. Two of the squares will
switch there arrows and colors, but they always move in the same direction.
After you beat level four, the next time you talk to the man
in front of the wall level door, he will ask if you would like
to try the Master Level. This does not count as you're cleared
status, so you don't have to do it.
Machine Practice
1. This is very easy, just return 15 balls to win. Your game will
be over if you don't return the ball, or if you hit the ball out-of-bounds.
2. This is very easy, just return 30 balls to win. Your game will
be over if you don't return the ball, or if you hit the ball out-of-bounds.
This time the machine moves.
3. This is very easy, just return 60 balls to win. Your game will
be over if you don't return the ball, or if you hit the ball out-of-bounds.
This time the machine moves.
4. This is very easy, just return 100 balls to win. It may take a
couple of turns though. Your game will be over if you don't return the ball,
or if you hit the ball out-of-bounds. This time the machine moves.
After you beat level four, the next time you talk to the woman
in front of the machine level door, she will ask if you would
like to try the Expert System. This does not count as your
cleared status, so you don't have to do it.

7) Questions and Comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Bob asks, will you eventually have a N64 - gameboy section?
A: (first answer) I probably will soon, but for now check out Astroblue
and Sahdwrlm3's Faq, it has a great section on that. (second answer) yes,
I now have one.
Q: How come you have few gameshark codes?
A : It's hard to find them, if you find any, send them in.
If you want Gameshark codes go to Astroblue and Shdwrlm3's FAQ,
they have great codes there.
Q: MPH asks, who should I give the experience points to?
A: Well, I think you should go through everything in singles, giving all
your experience points to yourself. Then you should go through it (with
the same file) in doubles, giving them out equally.
If you E-mail me, I'll answer your question by
righting back to you most of the time by the next day .
I will probably post it in the next version of this FAQ.

When you walk up the rode heading for the campus, a man (the
Headmaster) will be in such a hurry we won't see you. The next thing
you know, you're on the ground he will ask if you're ok, then he will
loose his documents and head out. After an extremely long introduction
to the Royal Tennis Academy, courtesy of Emily a Varsity player and
member of the traveling team, you will be left off at your dormitory
room with your partner. Your room will be blue if your partner is Harry,
it will be Pink if your partner is Kate. If you are Alex after you beat
Mario in singles, you can have your partner be Kate. If you are Nina,
after any file save has beaten Mario, your partner can be Harry. Your
dormitory room will be blue if your partner is Harry, if your partner
is Kate then your room will be pink. You can skip the introduction by
pushing A, B, select, and start at the same time. (thanks again to
Astroblue and Shdwrlm3 for the partner changer secret and the skip
introduction secret) You should watch the introduction the first time so
that you now were everything is and then skip it the 2nd and 3rd. You
can go to the training courts and center whenever you want, so I'll
leave them out of this part. See section 6 for more information on how
to beat them.
JUNIORS: After you are done with your introduction go to the junior
courts, and there will be a man dressed in blue standing in-between the
two courts, talk to him, and he'll ask if you want to play a junior class
rankings match. So select yes and you'll be playing the player ranked
fourth (4th) ranked player in the class. You'll be playing the first to
win two sets is the winner of the match, but who must win by two sets
or you'll have to go into a tiebreaker. A tiebreaker is like a set, except
for you play by score of ones (instead of 0-15-30-40) and the first to
score seven wins. You will take turns severing after every score.
PAM: The 4th ranked player is slow and not very powerful. You should
beet her easily.
CURT: When the time comes to play the third ranked player be careful when
you play the net, he will try to lob it over you, but again he shouldn't
be that challenging.
BETH: Again, very easy, but watch out for her lob. Keep on hitting back
and forth in a straight line, then fire one down the opposite side, this
should work most of the time.
BOB: Watch out !!! He may be easy but he is really powerful !!!! After
you serve or return the serve just play the net and you should have no
problem
After beating Bob, he will congratulate you and the man in the blue
who was standing in-between the courts when you first came to the junior
courts will walk up from the entrance to you and tell you that you are now
qualified for the senior class. Then he will give you a medal and tell you
to show that to the lady at the senior courts. YOU ARE NOW IN THE SENIOR
CLASS. You can also use the repair counter now, and you have unlocked the
LARGE RACKET.
SENIORS : Go to the Senior courts and talk to the lady in-between the two
courts, Emily , (the lady that showed you around in the beginning. ) She
will ask if you would like to play a Senior class rankings match , select
yes and you'll be playing the 4th ranked player. You will also notice,
that the courts here are clay instead of composition.
BRIAN : He is pretty easy , just play the net and you should be fine.
JOY : This is were the real challenging stuff starts , she's harder than
you would think for a third ranked player, she loves to use the lob, so
be careful.
ALLIE : I think Joy is harder than Allie , so if you beat Joy , Allie
should be a synch.
BRING ON THE SENIOR CLASS SINGLES CHAMP !!!!!!!!!!!!
FAY : Fay is quick and powerful. You'll have to bring your A game to beat
her.
After you beat Fay she will congratulate you and then Emily will
tell you that you're the singles class champion. After that she'll hand
you the Senior class medal. And tell you that you finally made it to her
level. The Varsity Squad, well actually she's on the Traveling Team, so
your not really at here level, but you are just one match away.
YOU ARE NOW ON THE SINGLES VARSITY SQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU HAVE ALSO UNLOCKED THE small racket , AND THE LIGHT SHOES.
VARSITY SQUAD : There is only one match in this level , if you win you
will be a part of the TRAVELING TEAM . The name of this player is unknown,
but he has the same sprite as Bob, he is just blue. He will be considered
B Bob. To play him talk to Mark, the green man standing in the middle of
the Varsity Court.
B BOB : Use a drop shot to bring him to the net , then lob one over his head.
this should help you a lot, or at least , it helped me a lot , but or stats are
probably different. so don't get mad if it doesn't.
After you beat him the screen will show a chart with the TRAVELING
TEAM MEMBERS, YOU WILL BE FOURTH ON THE LIST !!!!! CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE
A TRAVELING TEAM MEMBER !!!! Even the guy you beat will congratulate you.
Then Mark, Kevin, Emily, and your Partner will come and tell you how good
you did. A screen will come up with your character and then say TO BE
CONTINUED ..... don't turn your gameboy of , just waiter push B. your
game will restart ( not your game data , just your game ) . When you turn
your game back on go to STATUS , select the file number , then select
SET ITEMS, and choose SELECT RACKET you will notice a new racket, the
IRON RACKET, then press B twice, and choose SELECT SHOES you will notice
a new pair, the IRON SHOES !!!!!!!
ISLAND OPEN SINGLES
The next time you go into your Mario Tour file it will ask you if
you want to play singles or doubles, select singles to go to the Island
Open. Your partner will talk to you like normal, but........ just as you
are about to leave your room, your partner will tell you that the
Traveling Team is supposed to meet in the Headmaster's office. You will
automatically go there, but before you do you have to watch the Headmaster
talk to the three other Traveling Team members. When you get there,
eventually the Headmaster will ask if it's ok that you leave tomorrow,
select yes and you'll be on your way to the Island Open. You'll fly to
the Island and then you'll be ready to play. Once you get there the
others will tell you that you still have time so you should have a look
around. Leave the building, and the next time you come in the people will
be ready, just go and stand in the only open circle (you may want to save
before you walk into the circle. Once you walk in to the circle people
will come and tell you that they are ready for the matches to begin.
SAMMI : Sammi will be the hardest player you've ever played against.
There isn't really a strategy that works except, just play your best
game and whatever you would normally do.
After you beat Sammi, just walk outside and then come rite back in,
you may want to save before you go into the circle. Once you go into the
circle the to men will come again and tell you that they are ready to start.
SPIKE : Spike will be way harder than Sammi was, don't try playing the net,
because with his curve shots you probably won't be able to reach them.
Also, when you do play the net he might lob it over your head.
After you beat Spike just go outside and come back in and if you
want save, then walk to the open circle next to Emily. The men will come
and tell you the semi-finals are about to begin.
EMILY : Emily doesn't have any curve shots, but she's the fastest and
powerfulest player you've played so far and if she has to she'll use the
lob.
After you beat Emily just walk outside and then come back in and
save if you want, then walk into the circle next to the only player there.
The men will come again and tell you that the Finals are about to start.
You won't go to the court on the left like you normally do, but you'll go
to the center court. WELLCOME TO THE FINALS !!!!!
A. COZ : A. Coz won't seam hard, but the further into the match you go
the harder he gets.
After you beat him you'll end up at the award ceremony, as you
walk up, an angry player stops you, after he's done talking, keep on
walking upward, the director will stop you and ask to take the podium
and you will automatically take the stage. The Headmaster will award the
other two there trophies, and then yours. Then a picture of you holding
your trophy will appear and then the credits will roll. Pushing A, B, Start,
and Select at once will make them over with and you'll end up in the
headmaster's office. YOUR DATA COULD GET LOST SO USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I HAVE DONE IT 5 OR 6 TIMES AND IT'S WORKED CORRECTLY EVERY TIME. Anyways,
the next time you turn it in singles the headmaster will be talking to
you. The Headmaster is telling you about Mario, and you get to challenge him.
You will go (without choice) out the gate and start flying except this time
you'll go into a rainbow , to PEACH'S CASTLE. After a lot of talking from
characters that you've probably already seen, you'll be challenging Mario.
MARIO : Mario probably won't seam to hard if you make use of drop and lob
shots. He to seams to get harder as the match goes on. He's faster than
you think, so be careful.
After you beat Mario, a picture of you with Mario will appear, then
a screen will appear with the Headmaster on it, Your game didn't restart,
it's the credits.
IV. Doubles
JUNIORS : After you are done with your introduction go to the junior
courts, and there will be a man dressed in blue standing in-between the
two courts, talk to him, and he'll ask if you want to play a junior class
doubles rankings match. So select yes and you'll be playing the team
ranked third (3rd) ranked player in the class. You'll be playing the
first to win two sets is the winner of the match , but who must win by
two sets or you'll have to go into a tiebreaker. A tiebreaker is like
a set, except for you play by score of ones (instead of 0-15-30-40)
and the first to score seven wins. You will take turns severing after
every score.
BRIAN + FAY (RED) - This should be very easy, they are both slow. They
didn't even score once on me.
BETH + PAM - They are just as easy, my partner scored two aces.
BOB + CURT - They are exactly opposite, BOB is slow and powerful,
but CURT is fats and weak. Try to get an ace when you are serving to BOB.
After you beat them the blue man will award you with the junior class
doubles medal. Then Bob and Curt will congratulate you on your victory. Now
you can use the senior court!!!
SENIORS : Go to the Senior courts and talk to the lady in-between the two
courts, Emily , (the lady that showed you around in the beginning). She
will ask if you would like to play a Senior class rankings match , select
yes and you'll be playing the 3rd ranked team. You will probably notice
that the courts here are clay instead of composition.
CURT (GREEN) + BETH (ORANGE) - They aren't that hard, but they are a lot
harder than any other team you've played so far. Curt didn't do much when
I played them, Beth did everything.
BRIAN (RED) + JOY (PURPLE) - There isn't much to say about this pair, they
are hard, put not too hard.
FAY (BLUE) + ALLIE (YELLOW) - This team can get pretty hard. Watch out
when Fay serves, because Allie is a great net player.
After you beat Fay and Allie, Emily will award you the senior class
doubles medal, and say that her team is now your rival. After you get
the medal Fay and Allie will say that they will win next time.
YOU ARE NOW A VARSITY SQUAD MEMBER!!!!!!!!!!
VARSITY SQUAD : There is only one match in this level , if you win you
will be a part of the TRAVELING TEAM . To play This match talk to Mark,
the green man standing in the middle of the Varsity Court.
MARK + BLUE BOB - Mark is quick and Bob is powerful, they're a perfect
combo.
After beating them, a screen that tells the standings will appear,
YOU WILL BE NUMBER TWO ON THE LIST then Mark and Bob will congratulate you,
then your partner will ask you to pinch him (or her) to make sure it isn't
a dream. After that Emily and Kevin congratulate you and a screen saying
"to be continued", don't turn your gameboy off, just press A.
ISLAND OPEN DOUBLES
The next time you go into your Mario Tour file it will ask you if
you want to play singles or doubles, select doubles to go to the Island
Open. Your partner will talk to you like normal, but........ just as you
are about to leave your room, your partner will tell you that the
Traveling Team is supposed to meet in the Headmaster's office. You will
automatically go there, but before you do you have to watch the Headmaster
talk to the three other Traveling Team members. When you get there,
eventually the Headmaster will ask if it's ok that you leave tomorrow,
select yes and you'll be on your way to the Island Open. You'll walk out
of the main building (you will noticed everyone is in white, the Academy's
color)and then you'll fly to the Island Open were you will play. Once you
get there the others will tell you that you still have time so you should
have a look around. Leave the building, and the next time you come in the
people will be ready, just go and stand in the only open circle (you may
want to save before you walk into the circle. Once you walk in to the
circle people will come and tell you that they are ready for the matches
to begin.
SAMMI + SEAN - They will be the hardest thing that you have faced so-far,
they are really quick. If you're ahead by a lot don't play easy they might
come back.
After you beat Sammi and Sean, just walk outside the building and
then come rite back in, you may want to save before you go into the
circle. Once you go into the circle the to men will come again and tell
you that they are ready to start.
SPIKE + ELDIN - Be careful, Spike's got himself a nice curve shot.
After you beat A. COZ and B. COZ, just walk outside the building
and then come rite back in, you may want to save before you go into the
circle. Once you go into the circle the to men will come again and tell
you that they are ready to start.
A. COZ + B. COZ - A. Coz has a tricky shot and B. Coz has a powerful
shot, they won't seem too hard in the beginning, but in the end they
will be incredibly tough.
After you beat them you'll end up at the award ceremony, as you
walk up, an angry player stops you, after he's done talking, keep on
walking upward, the director will stop you and ask to take the podium
and you will automatically take the stage. The Headmaster will award the
other two there trophies, and then yours. Then a picture of you holding
your trophy will appear and then the credits will roll. Pushing A, B, Start,
and Select at once will make them over with and you'll end up in the
headmaster's office. YOUR DATA COULD GET LOST SO USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I HAVE DONE IT 5 OR 6 TIMES AND IT'S WORKED CORRECTLY EVERY TIME. Anyways,
the next time you turn it on in doubles the headmaster will be talking to
you. The Headmaster is telling you about Mario, and you get to challenge
him. You will go (without choice) out the gate and start flying, except
this time you'll go into a rainbow , to PEACH'S CASTLE. After a lot of
talking from characters that you've probably already seen, you'll be
challenging Mario and Peach
MARIO + PEACH - They won't seem that hard after playing the Coz brothers.
Peach plays the net really well because she is tall so they are at there
best when Mario serves.
After you beat Mario, a picture of you with Mario will appear, then
a screen will appear with the Headmaster on it, Your game didn't restart,
it's the credits.
Congratulations !!!! You have know beaten Mario in singles and
doubles!!!!

10) Secrets and Codes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I. Secrets
THE WATER SPRITE : thanks to astroblue and shdwrlm3 for letting me
put this here, so give them credit, not me. So, after making the
traveling team in singles, apply the iron racket and head on up to the
lake behind the training courts(don't confuse this with the fountain in
front of the training center ) . There will be a man standing there
practicing his swing , talk to him and tell him he has a weak swing,
he'll get mad and ask to see your swing. After you show him your swing
he'll walk away, and you get so mad because his swing is better that you
feel like swinging , if you can swing 100 times in 10 seconds, you get a
silver racket , if you can do 150 in 10 seconds you get a gold racket.
II. Gameshark Codes
Sorry, I have tried long and hard to find my own Gameshark codes,
these are all I could find. If you find some yourself (and I don't men
on someone else's' website) send them in , and remember the more you
contribute to this FAQ the better it will be. Well here they are. (I DID
NOT FIND THE BASE CODES- 91XX0CCA- I JUST FOUND THE DIGETS) If you would
like other colors or other codes, be shore to check out Astroblue and
Shdwrlm3's Faq. Thanks to Astroblue and Shdwrlm3 for the base code.
These are some color modifier codes that I found, leave the Gameshark
off until you reach the character select screen and then turn it on.
Player One 91xx0CCA
Player Two 91xx4CCA
Player Three 91xx8CCA
Player Four 91xxCCCA
replace xx with the correct digits :
1) 0D - Blue/Green Ghost
2) 0E - Blue/Purple Ghost
3) 0F - Pink/Purple Player
4) 1A - Teel/White Player
5) 1B - Red Player
6) 1E - Brown Player
I'll try my best to find more codes, but it is extremely hard to
find them, so I probably won't be able to find anymore. You never know,
maybe I'll find some.
