“This is the Reflex Rally, a new machine to build PS Response.”
—Minigame Instructor, Mario Tennis: Power Tour

Reflex Rally is the seventh minigame from the Game Boy Advance game, Mario Tennis: Power Tour . This minigame helps Clay or Ace build up PS Response, which is beneficial to their Power Shots. The player plays rock-paper-scissors against a robot, appropriately called the R.P.S Mech. The robot's move appears on the screen and the player must use the correct move. Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beat paper. If the player chooses the correct move, a pot or a block will hit the robot. However, if the player chooses the losing move, they get hit with an object. For each level, the player gets sixty seconds to complete, but the amount of lives for the R.P.S. Mech varies.
