Mario Tennis Fever Reviews
Mario Tennis Fever delivers fast, accessible arcade tennis backed by impressive depth and an abundance of modes. Its strong local and online multiplayer ensures long-term appeal, even if the game rarely surprises and mainly refines familiar ideas. A polished and highly enjoyable iteration rather than a bold reinvention.

Mario Tennis Fever is pure, unbridled fun: fast-paced, chaotic, and incredibly addictive. A perfect ace for one of Nintendo's most solid and spectacular sports spin-offs.

With a mix of continuity and innovation, Mario Tennis Fever achieves what it sets out to do, which is nothing less than entertain. This time, we'll also have a complete game right from the start. For the next one, the story mode will need to be polished up, as it's nothing more than a slightly long and underutilized tutorial.

Mario Tennis Fever is absolutely the best game in the series so far and if you enjoy the back-and-forth of the sport as you take in all of the wonderfully charming sights and sounds then this is a must-play game that really shines in multiplayer. 🎾
Mario Tennis Fever blends classic arcade energy with refined mechanics, delivering one of the most fun and competitive Mario sports games to date.
Mario Tennis Fever is another simple but highly ingenious effort from Camelot and Nintendo, which captures the flavor of the golden age of arcades in a way that few others can. Its solo strength is much more fragile, but played with company it becomes one of Nintendo's most enjoyable games in recent years.

Mario Tennis Fever is crammed with fun and engaging content that goes from accessible to challenging. It feels so satisfying to play and packs a robust campaign mode that I wasn’t expecting to be as deep and detailed. Overall, this is no doubt the best Mario sports game yet.
Mario Tennis Fever is easily Nintendo's best Mario-themed tennis game in ages. Filled with tons of racket types and characters to unlock, the fun you have playing online or against the CPU never falters or feels stale. I've had such a great time diving into the pretty solid Adventure mode and Trial Towers. The strategic layers the game adds through various racket types go a long way and mesh well with the fast pace of tennis.
The story mode of Mario Tennis Fever turns out to be a disappointment, lasting three to four hours, mainly due to its pointless experience point system and the unbearably sluggish first chapter. In the other modes, this is partially offset despite the overall low difficulty level. However, the positively chaotic tennis gameplay truly comes into its own—unsurprisingly—in multiplayer with up to four players. That said, Camelot definitely could have done more with it.

Mario Tennis Fever gets a lot right and offers a solid amount of content, even if many of its single-player modes are on the easy side. The game truly shines in multiplayer. The tennis gameplay is fast-paced, and the controls feel intuitive and reliable. The wild “Fever” rackets expand the core mechanics with devastating special attacks. The system works well, even though doubles matches can sometimes descend into excessive chaos. Visually, Mario Tennis Fever shows major improvements over its predecessor, with the exception of the rather dull environments in Adventure Mode.

Mario Tennis Fever is a visual powerhouse that showcases the Switch 2’s potential with vibrant graphics and lightning-fast load times, yet it struggles to find its footing on the court. While the "Fever" mechanics and chaotic multiplayer modes make it an instant party-night favorite, veteran players will be disappointed by floaty physics and a lack of mechanical precision compared to Aces. Without the heart of a deep story mode or a robust tennis engine, it stands as a polished, high-octane spectacle that prioritizes casual fun over competitive depth.
