Mario Tennis Fever Launches Worldwide on Nintendo Switch with Largest Character Roster Yet

Nintendo has officially launched Mario Tennis Fever worldwide on Nintendo Switch, marking the arrival of the franchise's most feature-rich installment to date.

Mario Tennis Fever brings a host of new and returning features to fans, solidifying its position as a must-play sports title for the Nintendo Switch platform. Developed and published by Nintendo, Mario Tennis Fever sets a new benchmark with the introduction of 38 playable characters— the largest roster in the series' history.

Noteworthy debuts in this release include beloved characters like Goomba, Nabbit, Piranha Plant, as well as Baby Wario and Baby Waluigi.

This extensive character selection provides greater variety and new strategy options for series veterans and newcomers alike. A key highlight of Mario Tennis Fever is the addition of the innovative Fever Rackets.

Players can now choose from 30 unique rackets, each bringing its own distinctive abilities to the court.

By rallying and building up the Fever Gauge during matches, players can unleash formidable Fever Shots to shift the momentum in their favor. Nintendo continues to prioritize accessibility and competitive depth with a suite of game modes catering to all skill levels.

Swing Mode returns, allowing up to four players to execute precise shots using motion controls, while Trial Towers challenges individuals to ascend through increasingly difficult levels.

Additionally, online multiplayer modes such as Online Room and Ranked Matches enable players to compete worldwide either casually or for ranking supremacy.

Adventure Mode introduces a single-player storyline with mysterious events transforming classic characters—Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Wario, and Waluigi—into their baby versions, bringing a fresh narrative twist to the series. Supporting both local and online multiplayer, Mario Tennis Fever leverages Nintendo Switch's GameShare feature, making it possible for up to four players to enjoy local matches together using a single game copy, further enhancing its appeal as a party and family-friendly title. A Nintendo representative summarized, "With our biggest character roster yet, all-new Fever Rackets, and a variety of engaging game modes, Mario Tennis Fever is designed to excite longtime fans and newcomers to Nintendo Switch alike." Mario Tennis Fever is available now both digitally via the Nintendo Switch eShop and at retail stores worldwide.
