How to Play Family Tennis
Quick start
At an exhibition, you select a player and a court, and first learn the distance between A's strong hit and B's weak hit. To serve, raise the toss with A or B and press the same button again at the landing point. The basic idea is to return to the center before your opponent hits the ball, move closer to the ball using the D-pad, and then hit the ball. The start is not used to pause, but to check the score when serving.
Controls
D-pad: Player movement/shot direction. A: Strong shot, toss of serve and batted ball. B: Weak shot, toss of serve and batted ball. Start: Display score when serving. Select: Data display.
