Mario Tennis Fever Picture: Nintendo
The Mario Tennis series is back when Mario Tennis Fever launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on February 12th.
Mario Tennis Fever will serve up new characters, game modes and experiences. This time around there are 38 playable characters, the most in series history – including the debuts of Goomba, Nabbit, Piranha Plant, Baby Wario and Baby Waluigi.
Once you’ve selected your character, get into the game with tried-and-true techniques like Topspin, Slices and Lobs.
New features
There are some new features like the all-new Fever Rackets and swing the match in your favour.
Equip your character with a selection of 30 new rackets, each with its own unique abilities – like the Ice Racket, which turns parts of the court into a slippery frozen tundra, the Mini Mushroom Racket, which shrinks your opponent to bite size and the Shadow Racket, which will have your opponent seeing double as you create a duplicate of your character.
Game modes
Mario Tennis Fever also introduces new and returning game modes for everyone from pros to first timers. Get ready for Trial Towers mode, where players take on a series of challenges as you make your way to the top.
There is also the new Mix It Up mode, where you can play matches with unconventional rules – like Ring Shot, where you have to hit balls with precision through rings to earn points, and Forest Court Match where you can expand the court by feeding Piranha Plants a steady diet of tennis balls. Jump into a Wonder Court Match and experience Wonder Effects inspired by Super Mario Bros.
You can also enjoy returning modes like Tournament mode, this time enhanced with play-by-play commentary from a Talking Flower.
