The Action 52 Tennis was a Multi-Way Tennis hosted by CorruptionSound from August 8, 2015 to August 24, 2016. The match focused on the NES and Genesis multi-cart Action 52 (1992 and 1993, respectively), infamous for its high price and collection of 52 low-quality games. Rounds were required to add the games as they appeared in each multicart; thus each round would add two new Action 52 games (one for NES, one for Genesis) until all 104 games are used. Other rules were keeping the rounds between 5 and "xx" (likely 99) seconds, a rough two-week turnover, and to avoid exaggerating "in the effects department... [countering] rapism with clever editing".

Sources that were not direct Action 52 footage primarily consisted of CorruptionSound's additions of The Angry Video Game Nerd, primarily his review of Action 52 (Episode 90, 2010), as well as NES Accessories (Episode 47, 2008) and The Wizard / Super Mario Bros. 3 (Episode 48, 2008) ("I'm gonna play a GOOD GAME for once"). Other sources include Beethoven's 5th Symphony (~1804-1808), the English outro for Alfred J. Kwak ("Alfred is so merry, so very very merry..."), and the "Python Foot" gag from Monty Python's Flying Circus.

While the first, third and fourth positions remained stable throughout the entire match (GameBop, Metroid998 and CorruptionSound respectively) the second position notably could not hold someone down and had five people make rounds for it during the match. These were:

- Peskeh for rounds 2, 6, and 10
- Brick for rounds 14 and 18
- aw8qn for rounds 22, 26, and 30
- ThirtyTwelve for rounds 34, 38, and 42
- pixuyx for rounds 46 and 50

This match was both GameBop and CorruptionSound's 89th completed match (127th started for CorruptionSound, 142nd started for GameBop) , and Metroid998's 53rd completed match (ironically one off from 52).
