The unlockable stage has differences from the one played in Galaxy Rally; it lacks theshrinking platforms and it takes place in another location. Also, it has two varieties: the Crystal court, which provides max speed and max bounce for the ball but cannot be played on in Tournament mode, and the Morph court, which uses various surfaces from other courts in the game affecting ball speed and bounce. When the player performs aChance Shot, and the ball hits the ground, the surface on the opponent's side of the court changes and their own surface returns to normal. A unique surface with a black hole pattern erratically makes the ball bounce into one extreme direction. While this surface is used in all rounds of the Final Cup, different sets of three other surfaces are used in each round. The starting round uses the hard, mushroom, and stone surfaces. The clay, ice, and wood surfaces are used in the semifinals, and the final round uses the grass, carpet, and sand surfaces.
