Mario Tennis Fever Overview Reveals Fever Rackets, 38-Character Roster, New Modes, February 12 Launch

Nintendo spotlights Fever Rackets as the core twist that adds power-up strategy to the series.

Overview

  • The trailer highlights Fever Rackets that alter shots or movement, with an optional Classic Rules setting for standard play.
  • Returning a Fever ball before it bounces sends the special effect back to the opponent, creating reversible power plays.
  • Players can equip 30 distinct rackets—such as Ice, Mini Mushroom and Shadow—across a 38-character lineup that adds Goomba, Nabbit, Piranha Plant, Baby Wario and Baby Waluigi.
  • Modes include Tournament with Talking Flower commentary, the challenge-focused Trial Towers, Mix It Up variants, Wonder Court Matches and a single-player Adventure that turns key characters into babies.
  • Online options span Online Room and Ranked Matches, plus Swing Mode, GameShare for friends without a copy and amiibo support that applies character-themed tennis ball designs.
