twice whilst moving in the direction the player wants to go. When used with correct timing, a Trick Shot increases the player's energy significantly, but it is a risky maneuver, since using it with incorrect timing can decrease the player's energy instead. Each character has two unique Trick Shots: a vertical Trick Shot and a horizontal Trick Shot. Which one is used depends on the direction that the ball is in from the character. TheToad commentators in tournaments identify Trick Shots when they are used and refer to them with unique names for each different Trick Shot.
