There’s little more than a month to go until you can take to the court as your favourite Mushroom Kingdom characters in Mario Tennis Fever on Nintendo Switch 2.
Thanks to a new overview trailer that Nintendo has shared, we know that there are 38 playable characters in the upcoming game. That’s the most in the series’ history, and includes debut characters like Goomba, Nabbit, Piranha Plant, Baby Wario and Baby Waluigi.
Ready to deliver more chaotic tennis action, Mario Tennis Fever introduces Fever Rackets. You can equip your character with 30 rackets that each has its own unique abilities. The Ice Racket turns parts of the court into a slippery frozen tundra, for example, whereas the Shadow Racket creates a duplicate of your character to confuse your opponent, and the Mini Mushroom Racket shrinks your opposition to bite size.
You can look forward to new and returning game modes, too. Trial Towers will see you take on a series of challenges in an effort to make your way to the top, while the Mix It Up mode lets you play matches with unconventional rules like Ring Shot, where you must hit balls with precision through rings to earn points, and Forest Court Match, where you can expand the court by feeding Piranha Plants tennis balls.
