Fire Cup
The Fire Cup is a Cup first introduced in Mario Power Tennis. It is represented by a fireball.
History[edit]
Mario Power Tennis[edit]
In Mario Power Tennis, the Fire Cup is the first of two cups in the Gimmick Masters tournament and one of the two cups unlocked by default, alongside the Mushroom Cup. It is composed of two rounds of one set each, and a final round of three sets. Each round takes place in one of three possible courts: Luigi's Mansion Court, Gooper Blooper Court, or DK Jungle Court. Completing this cup allows the player to proceed to the Thunder Cup, the final cup of the tournament. Wiggler and Petey Piranha can be unlocked by beating all Gimmick Masters cups.
Mario Strikers Charged[edit]
The Fire Cup is also the first Tournament in Mario Strikers Charged in the Road to the Strikers Cup mode. It is split into three rounds- preliminary, final, and championship. During the preliminary round, the player must challenge three other randomly-chosen captains and their teams twice, once away from their home court and once at it for each captain. Every captain is fought once before the pattern is repeated. In order to move on to the final round, the player's team must get into the top 2 of the 4 teams via points (3 for each match won, 0 for each match lost, 1 for each match lost at sudden-death). The finals match is against another random CPU team on a random court. If the player wins this match, they will move onto the championship game, and challenge the current champion.
During the first playthrough of the Fire Cup, the defending champion will be Bowser Jr., but during subsequent playthroughs, it will be randomized like every other challenge. The stadium in the championship match will always be The Lava Pit. The player must win two out of three matches in the game to win the cup and move on to the Crystal Cup. However, if they lose either the finals match or the championship game, they must start the cup over again entirely. After beating the champion, the player unlocks Bowser Jr. and The Lava Pit. Additionally, earning both the Golden Foot and Brick Wall Awards during the Fire Cup unlocks The Wastelands.
