This "charge early" control negatively affects the game's more over-the-top arcade element: special shots. As you successfully volley the ball, you're building up your special shot represented by a star below your character's feet. When it's fully illuminated, tapping the shoulder button will activate it and enable your character's over-the-top tennis playing abilities. On the console game, the characters will perform moves that'll throw trash on the court, or teleport the opposition to remote positions. On the Nintendo DS, they're nothing but crazy shots that zig zag and corkscrew, zipping in different locations. Here's the problem: while the ball is whizzing all over the court, since the ball has a pre-determined landing position, players can simply stand in the middle of the court and start charging their swing. 90 percent of the time the player can blindly hit these shots this way, making the reason for these shots pretty much pointless. a b c Geddes, Ryan (March 19, 2008).

Likewise, returning serves and keeping rallies going doesn't appear to let you stretch for shots in quite the same way as VT does. Whereas you might reasonably expect your man (slash monkey, slash hedgehog, etc) to stretch and dive to meet the ball, time after time we found ourselves punished for shots that would be considered routine in VT. Whether that's a set-in-stone gameplay decision or something being tweaked and balanced in the final stages of development was hard to say. Right now, though, SEGA Superstar Tennis definitely doesn't feel like Virtua Tennis with SEGA icons instead of grizzled professionals. The game was followed up by two racing game entries, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (2010) and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (2012).

The third control method takes the physical activity out of play. You hold the Wii Remote in the horizontal, NES position and use the +Control Pad to move and the 1 and 2 Buttons to swing. To hit special shots, you’ll press the 1 and 2 Buttons in combination with each other.Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (2014, Wii U) · Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal (2014, 3DS) · Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom (2015, mobile) · Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice (2016, 3DS) Sonic Advance (2001) · Sonic Advance 2 (2002) · Sonic Pinball Party (2003) · Sonic Battle (2003) · Sonic Advance 3 (2004) · Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis (2006) Beat: Speed type - His Superstar state, Graffiti Floor, spray paints grafitti on the opponents side of the court causing them to slip when trying to move. Additionally Beat's shots shoot at erratic angles, and a GG member appears to grind across the net with a boombox.

And the less said about the stylus controls, the better – the developers included this clearly as an option and not the way to play SEGA Superstars Tennis. Skip it and play the traditional D-pad and buttons way. It works and works well. Quotes from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) were used in this game such as " My, that's a pretty snazzy performance there!" (Sonic), " Who are you, and how do you know my name?" (Shadow) and " See, I told you I could do it!" (Tails). Grabowski, Dakota (April 6, 2008). "SEGA Superstars Tennis - 360 - Review". GameZone.
