Madame Mirage

Madame Mirage, also known by her title "The Mirror Queen," is one of the bosses in Mario Tennis Aces. She is the second boss in the game and is encountered in the Mirage Mansion (which she owns), and guards a stone that powers Lucien in the Royal Chamber, where Mario fights her in the mission All Hail the Mirror Queen in his attempt to grab the stone. She is served by other animated mirrors.
==Physical Appearance==
Madame Mirage is a giant living mirror with a golden frame. Her frame has the appearance of a crown on the top of her head. Her face looks similar to a masquerade mask and eminates a ghastly pinkish aura. Her body also has purple aura around it. Two smaller mirrors with golden frames serve as her hands.
==Battle==
Madame Mirage shoots out tennis balls at Mario, and when Mario hits them back with his racket, she uses her mirrors to act as a portal so she can shoot the ball again. When Mario has sent the ball back at her enough times, her mirrors are turned around and she is unable to send the ball back. During this moment, Mario must use a zone shot to hit Madame Mirage's main mirror to damage her. When she gets hit, Madame Mirage will lift objects around the room and try to use them to hit Mario. Mario can trick shot over the objects to avoid them. When Mario tries to use the zone shot again, Madame Mirage will use objects as a shield and protect her mirror. However, Mario can shoot through gaps in the shield or hit an object, destroying part of the shield. Mario must hit Madame Mirage's mirror three times in order to defeat her.
==Name==
Madame Mirage was named after mirages. In Japanese, she is called "Mirāju," forming a pun on "mirage" and "mirror." In Spanish and Dutch, she is called "Morgana" the name coming from "Fata Morgana." Her Italian name is "Regina Miràggia" (Queen Mirage), and her French name is the same, with "madame" and "mirage" both being French-derived words. In Russian, her name is "Madame Illusion," (Madam Illyuziya; written Мадам Иллюзия).
==Trivia==
*Madame Mirage is the only boss from Mario Tennis Aces to be female. She is also the first boss to defend themself from a Zone Shot attack.
*Because of Madame Mirage's ghostly features, she might be a ghost inhabiting a mirror instead of being a mirror herself.
