Mario Tennis Fever is a 2026 sports video game developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2. The game is part of the Mario Tennis series and is the successor to Mario Tennis Aces (2018), released for Nintendo Switch. Mario Tennis Fever introduces Fever Rackets, which allow players to execute powerful Fever Shots with various different effects. Additionally, elements from the platform game Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023) have been integrated into the gameplay. The game includes an Adventure mode in which Mario characters must relearn how to play tennis after being transformed into babies. The game received mixed to positive reviews upon release.
Mario Tennis Fever's gameplay consists of playing tennis matches with 38 characters from the Mario franchise, the largest number in the series' history. The character roster also includes the debut of Baby Waluigi. The game features 30 different rackets, each with its own unique abilities. There are several game modes, including "Tournament," "Challenge Towers," and "Mix It All." Tournaments feature live sports commentary from the Talking Flower introduced in Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023). In Challenge Towers, the player competes in a series of challenges to reach the top of the tower. The Mix It All mode consists of several different game types, including Ring Toss and court matches with specific mechanics, such as feeding Piranha Plants during the Forest Court Match. One of these matches takes place on Wonder Court, which includes the Wonder Effects from Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
During matches, players can now perform sliding and jumping shots over their opponents. The game's main mechanic is the introduction of 30 "Fever Rackets," which allow the player to perform a variety of effects during a match by filling a "Fever Bar" and then executing "Fever Shots." Fever Shots can provide advantages to the player, such as creating a frozen area on the opponent's side of the court where the ball bounces or causing Mini Mushrooms to appear, which can shrink the opponent. If the player acts quickly, they can deflect a Fever Shot before it touches the ground and return the effects to the opponent's side of the court. If the player takes too much damage, their health will decrease and they will be knocked out, being temporarily removed from the match to heal. Fever Rackets can be disabled to play "Classic Tennis." The software is compatible with GameShare, allowing users to share and receive the game for multiplayer modes. Additionally, when scanning Amiibo figures of Mario characters, the tennis ball's design will change to a special design based on the character.
