The world circuit of Super Tennis awaits you. Select from 20 male and female players, each with their own style of game play (strengths and weaknesses) and play singles, doubles either against or with a human opponent or a CPU controlled player(s) on all the major surfaces (clay, grass & hardcourt).
The circuit mode is the meat of the game. Here, using a password save system, you play a selection of tournaments all around the world. The more games you play and win, the more points you receive. These points go towards your rank in the Super Tennis 's world tour rankings. There are 4 major tournaments (as in real life) and many minor tournaments to play.
Gameplay is straightforward, with a focus on realistic tennis action and controls that simulate the game's speed and challenge.

How to Play
Player Selection
Remember: You may have any player play with or against any other player from the pro roster. It is also possible to make multiple choices of any player, as well as intermix women and men.
You may pick your player from the pro roster of 10 men and 10 women players. Use the player profiles on page 23 of this manual for reference.
Circuit Overview
You must choose your player from the roster of 20 pro players. Travel around the world attending all the big tournaments.
If you choose a female player, you will play the women's circuit and if you choose a male player, you will play the men's circuit. The men's circuit is more difficult to win than the women's circuit, so beginning players may want to try to win the women's championship first.
Getting Started
Use the + Control Pad to select SINGLES or DOUBLES and the B Button to decide (use the Y Button to cancel your decision). Then choose the player, court type and how many sets the match will last. For information about the circuit mode, see page 18.
Singles Setup
•
1P vs. COM: Select your player first and then choose your computer opponent.
•
1P vs. 2P: Player 1 will select their player with Controller 1, and then Player 2 may choose their player with Controller 2.
Doubles Setup
•
1P+2P vs. COM: Player 1 will select their player, and then Player 2 may choose their player. Player 1 will then select the computer players with Controller 1.
•
1P vs. COM: Player 1 will select their player, their computer partner, and then the opposition all with Controller 1.
•
1P vs. 2P: Player 1 will select their player and computer partner with Controller 1. Then Player 2 may select their player and computer partner with Controller 2.
Selecting Match Length
You may select a 1 set, 3 Set, or a 5 set match. If you choose a 3 Set match, in order to win, you must win 2 sets. If you are playing a 5 set match, you must win 3.
Court Types
You must select what type of court you will play your match on.
•
Hard Court: The surface is made of concrete. This is the easiest type of court to play on. On this surface, the ball bounces higher compared to the other two courts.
•
Lawn Court: This surface is made of grass. On a lawn court, the ball doesn't bounce very well.
•
Clay Court: This surface is made of clay. After bouncing, the ball speed will slow down. It may take a little while to get used to playing on a clay court.
Service Rules
The serve is a very important part of the game of tennis. Losing a game in which you have right to serve, will definitely place you at a disadvantage. By learning how to serve both powerfully and accurately you will be well on your way to victory.
When serving, hit the ball to your opponent's service area on the opposite side. In both SINGLES and DOUBLES, the service area is the same.
•
Fault: A mis-service is called a "FAULT". If it is the first service attempt for the point, you may try to serve again. If you fail a second time, it is a "DOUBLE FAULT", and your opponent will score the point.
•
Let: When a served ball touches the net and falls into the service area it is referred to as "LET". There is no point scored, and you will serve again.
How to Serve
•
1. Set Your Position: Use Left and Right on the + Control Pad to move your player across the service line. Pressing Down will bounce the ball on the ground.
•
2. Toss Up the Ball: Toss up the ball with either the A or B button.
•
3. Aim the Serving Direction: Use the + Control Pad while the ball is in the air to determine the direction that the ball will travel.
•
4. Hit the Ball: The B button is for fast service, the A button is for slow service. If you hit the ball at its highest point, the ball will travel farther. If you hit it low, the ball will drop closer.
Advanced Service Technique
At the moment that you hit the ball, if you press the L or R button, as well as the A or B button, you can add spin or slice to the service. Once you learn how to do this, it will be a strong addition to your serve.
Circuit Mode Play
The objective of this mode is to place first in the world ranking. In Circuit Mode play, only male players will play against male players and only female players will play against female players.
The world circuit consists of a total of 8 tournaments. It is comprised of major tournaments (MELBOURNE, PARIS, LONDON, NEW YORK) and other minor tournaments (TOKYO, NAIROBI, BEIJING, RIO).
If you attend any of the tournaments, you will receive points depending upon how well you did. After the championship tournament (NEW YORK), the annual national ranking will be determined based on the number of the points you won.
Depending upon your annual ranking you will be able to see a different ending demo. Win the Grand Slam (1st place in the four big tournaments) to reveal a surprise!
