Mario Tennis Fever

The premise

You face other Mario characters in singles or doubles. The new feature is the Fever rackets: 30 rackets that each grant a special power. The game offers 38 characters, 14 courts, an Adventure mode, tournaments and online play. Powers and court hazards can be switched off (Nintendo Life).

What the reviews say

Nintendo Life calls it its favourite Mario Tennis: the core tennis is excellent, the Fever rackets make powers easy to read and the more grounded movement leaves room for real tactics. It looks great both docked and handheld. IGN finds it great fun with friends, approachable for newcomers and well controlled, with a huge roster.

The drawbacks

Both reviews criticise the Adventure mode. Nintendo Life finds it short and basic, and IGN describes it as an extended tutorial. Both regret the lack of content for solo players. For IGN, the game lacks the staying power to be the main event of a game night.

Price

As of 11 November 2026, the game costs €69.99 on the Nintendo eShop, with no discount. The physical version and retailers were not checked for this survey.

Who is it for?
