Ace (known as Tina in European languages) is the female protagonist in the game Mario Tennis: Power Tour. Although the character's name can be changed, Ace is the default. She appears in the game as the main playable character in the story mode when the player chooses the female protagonist, and is partners with the male protagonist, Clay. She sleeps on the left side of their room at the Royal Tennis Academy. She is described as a tomboy, and seems to have a somewhat short temper (this is only if the player chooses the male protagonist; if the player chooses to play as Ace, she is silent throughout the game). She has brown hair in two ponytails, a white T-shirt and a pink and red skirt with a checker design over white boyshorts, just like her golf counterpart, Ella. She is also a technique character.
In the English manual for Mario Tennis: Power Tour, it is stated that Ace is a nickname she goes by. Her real name is never given to the player, although it is implied that her European name, Tina, is her real name.
