Gameplay



Superstar Mode allows the player to play missions which include exhibition matches, tournaments and tasks based around a specific Sega gmaes including Sonic the Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo Pop and Virtua Cop. Completing missions unlocks items such as courts, stages, soundtracks and characters.



Exhibition Mode offers the chance to challenge a character to a match on one of many courts, including Sonic's home court of Green Hill Zone, or Amigo's Carnival Park court. Whichever court is chosen, there are a host of Sega celebrities cheering them on from court side.

Tournament Mode allows the player to play in a series of matches against opponents chosen at random by the computer in an arena also chosen at random.

There are several playable minigames in Sega Superstars Tennis, including ones from Sega games such as a House of the Dead meets Space Invaders gmaes, in which the player has to hit moving targets, a Space Harrier gmaes, a Puyo Puyo game, and a Virtua Cop gmaes.

Each character has their own unique 'special attack' giving the player more chance of scoring a point. For example: Gilius throws a magic bottle in the air and covers the opponent's side with thunderbolts, if they touch one the character will be stunned for a brief moment, or Sonic's signature "Super Sonic" attack, which causes the tennis ball to zig-zag in various directions around the court when he hits the ball.

Platform differences

The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions both have online play, while the Wii version has three different control schemes (Wii remote, Wii remote and Nunchuk, and the Classic Controller), as well as motion control. The Wii Remote scheme controls similar to Wii Sports tennis.
