Rackets
Features
Fire Bar Racket
Spawns a persistent spinning Fire Bar that’s very hard to avoid, forcing your opponents into taking damage or repositioning in the least advantageous spot.
Ghost Racket
Makes your character and your tennis balls invisible, which is devastating in multiplayer mode for any opponents, since they can’t track any of your shots.
A-Tier Rackets
Rackets
Features
Amp Racket
Its Fever Shot turns your tennis balls into electrified traps on the court via lightning beams that form barriers, stunning and shocking anyone who touches them, so be careful.
Volcano Racket
Creates a crater at the ball’s bounce spot that repeatedly erupts volcanic fireballs across the opponent’s court, setting them on fire, even if they avoid the crater itself.
Bullet Bill Racket
Transforms the ball into a high-speed bullet projectile that flies super fast in a straight path, which makes it practically unreturnable for casual players.
Pokey Racket
Use it for area control with the help of tall Pokeys that split into segments, dealing damage when hit, acting as a court obstacle that blocks your opponent’s movement.
Tornado Racket
This racket’s initial hit summons tornadoes at the bounce spot and fire tornadoes that spin opponents, curving and redirecting all your incoming tennis balls.
Spiny Racket
Unlike static threats, Spinies actively pursue and pressure opponents, punishing them for poor positioning and granting you easy free points.
B-Tier Rackets
Rackets
Features
Boomerang Racket
Here’s an excellent choice for casual fun that forgives poor positioning and swings, boosting your defense, but it’s available only in Swing Mode, which is Joy-Con exclusive.
Bull Racket
Temporarily transforms your returned shots into rugby balls, causing unpredictable, erratic bounces across the court, but overall, it’s not as strong as you’d think.
Thwomp Racket
Summons a massive Thwomp that drops from above onto the ball’s bounce spot and crushes anyone underneath for instant shockwave and knockout.
Fire Flower Racket
Fires multiple fireballs per shot, which create good disruption for your opponents, but ultimately it requires lots of sustained hits to work well.
Freezing Racket
Scatters chunks of ice where the ball bounces and freezes players on contact, creating obstacles on the opponent’s side.
? Block Racket
Randomly mimics any other racket’s effect each time, but the RNG makes it a bit unreliable, and you also need to unlock the rest of the rackets.
Ice Flower Racket
You can use it for dealing minor splash damage at the ball’s bounce spot, but it has a very short active window.
Magic Racket
Creates a magic wand that fires a spell projectile, transforming the opponent’s racket into a frying pan, but only for 5 sec.
Star Racket
Gain temporary invincibility and a slight speed boost, but the Ghost Racket is much more effective.
