Mario Tennis Fever smashes its way onto Nintendo Switch

Grab your racket and lace up those sneakers,  because the Mushroom Kingdom is about to throw the wildest tennis party ever.

Mario Tennis Fever smashes its way onto the Nintendo Switch 2 on 12 February,  and it’s already serving up more chaos, colour, and characters than ever before.

Not just tennis

This isn’t just tennis, it’s tennis with a twist. With a record-breaking 38 playable characters, the roster is bursting with fan favourites and fresh faces.

Ever wanted to see Goomba try a backhand? Or Baby Waluigi pull off a drop shot? Now’s your chance.

Star of the show

But the real star of the show is the Fever Racket. These magical rackets don’t just hit balls — they unleash mayhem.

Build up your Fever Gauge during rallies, then fire off a Fever Shot that can flip the match on its head.

Modes

Whether you’re scorching the court with the Flame Racket, summoning chaos with the Pokey Racket, or dashing across the net with the Golden Dash Racket, every swing feels like a power move.

And the fun doesn’t stop there. Mario Tennis Fever is packed with modes for every mood:

• Ranked Match for competitive spirits.
• Online Room for casual, custom fun with friends.
• Swing Mode for motion-controlled madness with up to four players.
• Trial Towers for those who love a challenge.
• Adventure Mode, starring Baby Mario, where you’ll learn the ropes, face quirky foes, and level up your skills in a charming story campaign.

Equipment

Nintendo is even adding a splash of style to your console with the first new Joy-Con 2 colours — Light Purple and Light Green — launching the same day. Perfect for matching your racket to your controller.

With its massive roster, wild rackets, and modes for both rookies and pros, Mario Tennis Fever isn’t just a game — it’s a courtside carnival.

Whether you’re chasing glory in Ranked Matches or laughing through Swing Mode with friends, this is tennis like you’ve never seen it before.
