SEGA Superstars Tennis -- Sand the Fence, Paint the House.

I've unlocked all the secret characters and all of the tennis courts in SEGA Superstars Tennis. I've done so by playing the Superstars mode. Superstars mode is essentially a collection of challenges or mini-games designed to teach you how to play the game without you even knowing you're being taught. It's wax on, wax off Daniel-san. There are an awful lot of them too, some eighty or so mini-games spread over numerous SEGA titles. Stuff like Chu Chu Rocket, Puyo Pop, Jet Set Radio, Virtua Cop, Space Harrier, House of the Dead and others. The games will teach you how to make drop shots and to control spin and all the other tennis subtleties. They're quite fun and more than a few are truly challenging if you're going for the top rank in each. I haven't even touched the tournament side of the single player game as Superstars mode has been so packed with things to do. I have however spent a lot of time playing the game online where it proves to be flawed fun. The game's control methods result in some I didn't want to do that or what the hell was that type moments. It takes into account stick position and button presses compounded by player motion but the where and when of it all is what's causing said issue. These slight annoyances don't really get in the way of what's been fun online gaming.
