Serve Up Some Chaos On The Court When Mario Tennis Fever Launches For Nintendo Switch 2 On February 12th

Tuesday, 10. February 2026
Mario Tennis Fever will serve up new characters, game modes and experiences. This time around there are 38 playable characters, the most in series history – including the debuts of Goomba, Nabbit, Baby Waluigi and more.

In Mario Tennis Fever, the all-new Fever Rackets allow players to serve themselves an advantage. Players can equip their characters with a selection of 30 new rackets, each with its own unique abilities. Keep a rally going to build up the Fever Gauge, then unleash a powerful Fever Shot with a special effect. With a Fever Racket in hand, players might just swing the match in their favour. Players can unleash fiery chaos on the court with the Flame Racket, summon enemies with the Pokey Racket, leap for even the toughest shots using a burst of speed from the Golden Dash Racket, and more.

Mario Tennis Fever also introduces new and returning game modes for everyone from series veterans' to first timers. There are online modes like Online Room, a casual play mode with customisable rules, or Ranked Match where players can face challengers from all over the world. In Swing Mode, up to four players can execute each shot type using intuitive motion controls and enjoy energetic matches with friends and family. Get ready for the Trial Towers mode, where players take on a series of challenges as they make their way to the top.

And in the Adventure Mode, players embark on a junior sized journey as Baby Mario. Here, they can master the basics, learn how and when to use each shot, and practise their techniques. As they progress, players must overcome a host of challenges, battle fearsome foes, and level up their skills to help Baby Mario reclaim his former glory.

Mario Tennis Fever also supports GameShare functionality, allowing up to four players to take to the court together using just one copy of the game. Other players can join the fun via local wireless using their Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch consoles.

Players also have the opportunity to give their Nintendo Switch 2 a stylish new look. Nintendo has announced the availability of the first new coloured Joy-Con 2 controllers – Light Purple and Light Green – also arriving February 12th.
