Toad and Toadette appearance

Character bloopers
Play tournament mode and complete the first three championships (Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup, Star Cup) to view the credits, and watch some animated outtakes from the opening FMV sequence. Complete the next three championships you unlock from this (Rainbow Cup, Moonlight Cup, Planet Cup) to view the credits again, but with entirely new outtakes.
Score easily
Note: you must be playing a doubles match. Have at least one CPU player on the opposite team. The CPU must be in the position closest to the net. When you are about to return a serve, do a slow shot ([B] + [A]) and aim the ball so that it curves far and lands close to the net. The CPU player will either hit the net, or the ball will go far out of bounds depending on the character and difficulty. This usually will work, but the CPU will rarely return it successfully.
Use the following trick to get easy wins on the Fire and Thunder cup Gimmick tournaments. Unlock a Star player (for example, Bowser Jr.). Star players are much better. They seem to be better at returning and scoring on the opponent. Win the Fire cup to unlock the Gimmick courts in all exhibition modes. Win the Thunder cup to unlock Wriggler.
