Smash Tennis is an arcade-style tennis game developed by Compile and published by Human Entertainment for the SNES.

The game uses a court-side view with responsive movement and simple shot inputs for normal hits, lobs, volleys, and power shots. Players must manage positioning, timing, and shot placement to win long rallies and create openings. Modes center on single matches and tournament play, where each victory advances the bracket and brings tougher opponents and different court conditions.

Use deep cross-court shots to pull opponents wide, then finish into the open court. After serving, stay balanced instead of rushing the net too early. Against faster opponents, prioritize safe placement and consistent returns over risky power shots. Mixing lobs and flat shots helps disrupt rhythm and force errors.
