Marina Stadium Revisited

Complete guide to the Marina Stadium Revisited section in Mario Tennis Aces, covering the Lucien Cup Finals (Doubles and Singles) and the final battle against Bowcien.

You've arrived back at Marina Stadium, where your journey began. It's time to defeat Wario and Waluigi in the Lucien Cup!

Lucien Cup Finals

Objective: _Defeat your mind-controlled friends, including poor Luigi, in a tennis match_ Match Details: _Two-game, three-set match (singles and doubles matches)_ Difficulty: _Easy (Doubles), Moderate (Singles)_

The Lucien Cup consists of two matches, a Singles match and a Doubles match. You'll start with the Doubles match and play as Princess Peach, with Daisy as your partner. Your opponents are Wario and Waluigi.

This match is actually quite simple. Daisy will do a majority of the leg-work. All you really need to do is play the shots that come toward you. Take note that your Energy Gauge is shared between both you and Daisy, so your actions that require the use of energy should be done in moderation. If you let Daisy do a majority of the work, you shouldn't have a problem finishing this match in less than five minutes.

After the Doubles match, we move on to the Singles match, and you're back into Mario's shoes. Your opponent is Luigi, who of course is being controlled by Lucien.

This match is more of a challenge. Luigi moves with very similar speed and technique as you do, so you'll need to play strategically to win. Luigi will borderline abuse Trick shots, so pay attention to where the ball is headed when he uses them. Use Zone Speed to counter any Zone Shot he attempts to use, and if for some reason Luigi uses his Special Shot, use Zone Speed to counter it.

The second set is where Luigi _really_ starts picking up skill, but if you keep a level head and keep from breaking form, you'll get through it okay.

Defeating Luigi completes this challenge, and you're rewarded with all five Power Stones! Or, are you?

Temple of Bask Shrine

Bowser has showed up and stole Lucien _and_ the five Power Stones! You need to run back to the Temple of Bask to defeat him.

The Final Battle!

Objective: _Defeat that foul Bowser, who is in possession of Lucien._ Difficulty: _Hard_

Bowcien (as he's calling himself) has gained control of Lucien, and you need to stop him. Start by rallying the fireballs at the purple orbs that are shielding Bowcien to deplete his health bar. If you fail to hit one of the purple orbs and instead hit the shield itself, the position of the orbs will rearrange themselves. Use Topspin and Lob shots to hit the higher orbs.

When his shield is dropped, you'll start a little rally with a Charge shot. Continue this rally with perfect timing, and after four or five hits, a Star Point will appear; use a Zone Shot to hit Bowcien and remove a heart.

Like the boss fights before this one, after you remove a heart, you'll begin a dodging phase. Bowcien will conjure some tornadoes that you need to dodge or use a Trick Shot to avoid. After a few seconds, Bowcien will start bouncing around pounding the ground leaving purple rings in his wake. Use Trick Shots to avoid them.

After dodging, return to rallying the shots towards the purple orbs surrounding Bowcien. The second phase of dodging is much more difficult than the first, as Bowcien will summon a purple void pit in the center of the court. This limits your ability to successfully dodge the incoming tornadoes and wake rings, and it's easy to lose a considerable amount of time towards your limit.

After the dodging phase, you'll return to one more rally session, where almost every shot is a Charge Shot. Accurately return the shots toward the purple orbs, rally with Bowcien one last time, and use a Zone Shot to take Bowcien's last heart.

Once defeated, enjoy the final cut-scenes and pat yourself on the back for having completed Adventure Mode!
