Nintendo has once again embraced its popular amiibo figure line with the upcoming release of Mario Tennis Fever for the Nintendo Switch.
Recently unveiled in a new trailer, the highly anticipated installment in the Mario Tennis franchise provided fans a closer look at amiibo compatibility—a feature that has become a hallmark of Nintendo’s ecosystem on both its consoles and handheld devices. Mario Tennis Fever will launch with robust support for a selection of amiibo figures, allowing players to personalize their gameplay experience with exclusive rewards.
In the final moments of the latest trailer, Nintendo revealed that scanning an eligible amiibo using the Switch’s NFC reader will unlock a unique, character-themed tennis ball design for use in-game.
According to details shared, this cosmetic change will not influence gameplay mechanics; the statement in the trailer clarified that "ball speed is not affected" by the different designs. The full roster of compatible amiibo encompasses several beloved characters from both the Super Mario and Super Smash Bros.
series.
Players can tap the following figures to access their respective tennis ball patterns: Super Mario amiibo: - Mario - Luigi - Peach - Rosalina - Yoshi - Waluigi - Wario - Toad - Daisy - Donkey Kong - Bowser Super Smash Bros.
