Set in the Hello Kitty universe, this is a fast paced game of table tennis. Each level pits you against an opponent with level specific obstacles as you try to get your disk into your opponents goal while defending yours. Special power-ups and a supercharged shot also exists. Best 3 out of 5 wins the match.

8 It has a fun single player mode however it really shines as a two player competitive party game. There is a lot of level variety and I only wish the characters were differentiated in their abilities. Would be great to be able to play as Hello Kitty.
