New Trailer Confirms Mario Tennis Fever's 38-Character Roster and Feb. 12 Switch 2 Launch

A six-minute overview introduces Fever Rackets as the defining mechanic for Nintendo's next Switch 2 sports showcase.

Overview

  • The trailer details 30 Fever Rackets with effects like Ice, Shadow, Pokey, Golden Dash, and Mini Mushroom, plus Fever Shots that can be volleyed back to reflect their effects.
  • The launch roster adds Goomba, Nabbit, Piranha Plant, Baby Wario, and Baby Waluigi, bringing the total to 38 playable characters.
  • Modes span an Adventure campaign, Trial Towers challenges, Mix It Up variants, Tournament with Talking Flower commentary, Online Room, Ranked Matches, and motion-enabled Swing Mode.
  • Local multiplayer supports GameShare across Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, and Classic Rules allow matches without Fever Rackets for standard play.
  • Amiibo scanning unlocks character-themed tennis balls, and a Light Purple/Light Green Joy-Con 2 set debuts on the same day as the game.
