The gameplay of Mario Tennis Fever consists of playing matches of tennis as 38 characters from the Mario franchise, which is the most in the series' history. The game also features 30 different rackets, each with its own abilities. Multiple modes exist, including "Tournament", "Trial Towers" and "Mix It Up", the latter of which includes the Wonder Effects from Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023). [1] [2]

The game's main mechanic is the introduction of "Fever Rackets", which allow the player to perform a variety of effects during a match, by building up a "Fever Gauge", then performing "Fever Shots". Fever Shots can have advantages for the player, such as causing the opponent's side of the field to have an icy patch where the ball bounces, or making Mini Mushrooms appear, which can shrink the opponent.

Premise

Mario Tennis Fever's story mode is set up by the main Mario cast getting transformed into babies, after encountering monsters on a remote island. [2] [3]

Development

Mario Tennis Fever was announced in a Nintendo Direct presentation on September 12, 2025, during the introductory segment celebrating the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. (1985). [3] The reveal presented both old and new gameplay mechanics, the new story mode, and announced that the game would be released on February 12, 2026. [1] [2]
