Alternates[]

Alternates return in a new way in the Mario Hoops series. Like in Mario Tennis Open, they have to be unlocked by scanning QR codes. However, these alternates are counting as different characters, as they have different stats, special shots and sometimes even different voices. Alternates can't be choosen when the original character already has been choosen, and vice versa.

The Mario Hunt[]

Like in Mario Tennis Open, a hunt is set out all over the internet, but this time featuring some of Mario's Power-Ups. All have different stats and can't be choosen at the same time.
