POW Blocks make | POW Blocks make a small appearance in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' on the [[Mario Classic Court]]. A POW Block moves back and forth across the net. If a player hits the ball through it, all enemies become stunned, allowing the player to defeat them by running into them (this counts as one of two hits needed to stun [[Sidestepper]]s; [[Freezie]]s are defeated instantly). POW Blocks cannot hit Fighter Flies when they are airborne though, but they could be defeated if the player hits the POW block at the correct time. After a certain number of hits, it disappears. After a while, it respawns. Stunned enemies who got hit by the POW block resumes walking after a period of time if the player leaves them alone. POW Blocks also appear in the mini-game [[Coin Collectors]]. The positions can be changed by hitting a POW Block with a tennis ball. | ||
