Mario Tennis Fever Reviews
A little strategic thinking, some movement, but above all, fun. Mario Tennis Fever is now available for Nintendo Switch 2. Will you collect the rackets to compete against other online players?

Mario Tennis Fever looks great on the Switch 2. The character animations are smooth and expressive, the courts are bright and vivid, and the hazards are full of color. The improved fidelity makes it easier to read during frantic Fever exchanges, so you always know what’s going on, even whether the court is covered in ice or exploding with lava.
All considered, this has become my new go-to sports game on Nintendo Switch 2.
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.
While Fever does feel filled out in a way that makes me think of Mario Tennis Aces with an expansion pack, it's only tennis. Even if it is great, strange, Nintendo tennis. After about five hours of playing, I started to feel like I'd tennised myself out.
While the Adventure mode isn’t great, the brilliant blend of strategic action and wacky antics ensures that the on–court action of Mario Tennis Fever is an absolute treat for players. Add to that the creative and enjoyable game modes as well as the super fun multiplayer, and it quickly becomes clear that Camelot has served up an absolute winner here. This is easily one of the best Mario sports games we have had in years, so here’s hoping it’s a trend that continues going forward.
Mario Tennis Fever is a fun time for anyone, and it’s the kind of game that starts with one match and turns into hours with friends. Not every part of the game delivers, but despite those stumbles, it's still a great addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 library.
Seeing Camelot find a balance between adding new features and deepening the gameplay gives me a very good feeling about the future of the series.

Mario and his many friends are back for another match or three on the Switch 2. (Review written in Portuguese for Entertainium Brasil)
Mario Tennis Fever is a lively and inventive entry that shines brightest in multiplayer, thanks to its creative Fever rackets, varied modes, and accessible controls. The biggest downside is the sluggish story mode, but other than that there is plenty on fun to be had.

Mario’s latest tennis outing is a big improvement over 2018’s Mario Tennis Aces, with a more arcade feel to the gameplay, with 38 characters to choose from, plus the introduction of Fever Rackets and Mix It Up provides whole new ways to play. It’s great for serious and casual players, perfect for parties, and the online play is solid, with plenty of tough opponents to match up with.
Mario Tennis Fever is a successful arcade sports game that brings the series to maturity with multiple modes, a substantial roster and explosive gameplay, perfect for evenings with friends and online challenges. However, it falls short on the single-player front, with a story mode that doesn't fully exploit the potential of the cast and serves mainly as a long tutorial, and with a frenetic racket balance that will probably require some adjustment. Considering the solid gameplay and high replay value, however, Mario Tennis Fever is an experience that we would recommend to both tennis enthusiasts and casual players who want to try a few swings! Ultimately, there is no better compliment we can give Nintendo and Camelot than to say that Mario Tennis Fever has really excited us and gives us hope for the future of sports games set in the Mushroom Kingdom. If the developer manages to apply the same formula to Mario spin-offs dedicated to golf, baseball and football, then there will be many surprises in store for Nintendo Switch 2 throughout its history.

Mario Tennis Fever is a blast, easily one of Mario’s best sports games in recent years.
Mario Tennis Fever is the definitive celebration of arcade-style sports, delivering frenetic, addictive gameplay that is surprisingly strategic thanks to the Euphoric Racket system and the varied character archetypes. With stunning visuals that set a new standard for the franchise and impeccable localization, the title establishes itself as an absolute benchmark for the multiplayer genre. While the campaign mode and single-player–focused content may fall short for those who play alone, the game more than makes up for it with a wealth of creative modes and a ranked system that promises to keep competitive players hooked for a long time. It is, without a doubt, a perfect choice for gathering friends and dominating the courts of the Mushroom Kingdom

Mario Tennis Fever offers a fantastic tennis experience with plenty of ways to play.
I had a really good time with Mario Tennis Fever. The rallies feel great, the roster is packed with fun characters, and multiplayer kept me coming back for more. Adventure Mode and a few balance issues stop it from being a must‑have, and the full price feels a little high, but the core tennis action is strong enough that I still enjoyed my time with it. I know I’ll keep jumping into multiplayer matches with friends because that is where the game really shines. It is a lively, charming addition to the Switch 2 lineup.
Mario Tennis Fever comes highly recommended because it remains a very entertaining franchise, both when playing solo and with friends. The addition of the furor rackets is particularly welcome, preventing matches from becoming repetitive and bringing a much-needed freshness to the series. The wide variety of game modes makes for a highly addictive experience, all accompanied by brilliant audiovisuals.

Mario Tennis Fever is a lively and content-packed tennis game with creative modes and chaotic Fever Rackets that spice up matches. While some modes may feel short and occasionally repetitive, its charm, variety, and vibrant presentation make it a delightful addition to the series.
Mario Tennis Fever greatly improves upon the rough edges found in previous Mario sports titles and offers plenty of content right from the start. Although its Adventure Mode leaves much to be desired, the game delivers fun mechanics with surprising depth, along with a variety of additional gameplay modes.

Mario Tennis Fever, at its core, is a great game of tennis. Features this time around add a lot more to the core game than previous titles, and both the online and local multiplayer modes are pretty great. Unfortunately, the lack of quality content makes this hard to recommend to everyone.
