Your HP Gauge will take damage if you get close to the black hole. If your HP reaches 0 due to the black hole and you are knocked out, you will be sucked into the black hole.
Black holes do not have the effect of drawing in incoming balls.

A new court has been added based on Super Mario Galaxy.

The court has a different shape depending on whether you are playing Free Play or Ranked Match matches, or in Special Match.

Added a New Special Match, “Galaxy Court Match”

Special “Galaxy Court Match” match rules have been added where you play on a spherical court made on a distant planet.
