Holy Shot is White Mage's Special Shot in Mario Hoops 3-on-3.
Description[]
The player can have White Mage perform Holy Shot by tapping out a star shape twice. It is her equivalent to Black Mage's Meteor Shot.
Holy Shot starts with White Mage levitating the ball in a circle around her, as four blue symbols spawn on the ground before starting to emit white columns of light and eventually become a bluish-white disk. White Mage takes the ball and casts it high into the air, with the entire screen becoming white, and the ball comes back down, creating a blueish-white show of light upon entering the basket.
If Holy Shot is done outside the three-point line, the ball does not leave the screen and is cast toward the basket with a gleaming white and blue trail instead. Like other Special Shots, Holy Shot requires the assistance of a teammate if used outside the three-point line to dunk the ball successfully.
