Mario Tennis Aces is probably the best episode of the series: easy to start, challenging for veterans, visually excellent and, above all, incredibly fun.

A surprisingly challenging tennis title with a great story mode and multiplayer part, but sometimes playfully overloaded.

Mario Tennis Aces is a thrilling magic tennis game which feels like a combat game because of the energy gauge management and K.O. rule. It features easy to learn but hard to master, and is friendly to both newcomers and experienced players. What's more, it's extremely fun when you play with friends. The biggest issue of the game is lacking in the variety of multiplayer gameplay while the Online Tournament is the only valuable multiplayer mode, as well as the competition might be too intense for newcomers.

I feel Mario Tennis Aces is a leap in the right direction for Camelot. With incredibly fun additions to the series, as well as a natural means of learning and reinforcing their use, you have an intense online experience with the training needed for you to be comfortable playing against others. If you can get past the short adventure mode and enjoy playing with people around the world, you will find yourself here a wonderfully refined tennis experience that pulls out all the stops to feel fluid and look divine.

A great return for one of the most beloved sports franchises. Mario Tennis Aces have a great single player mode and a functional online multiplayer mode.

And it was in my second ship battle with the inky Blooper that frustration began to set in, because he was bloody near on impossible to beat.

A bizarre coming together of Smash Bros. and Mario Tennis that strangely works, even if the Adventure mode occasionally frustrates.

The core arcade tennis is fun, and collecting rackets and leveling up Mario's tennis abilities through the campaign is a worthwhile endeavor, even if a few difficulty spikes hurt the pace

Fundamentally Mario Aces Tennis gets things right much more often than it gets them wrong.

Mario Tennis Aces looks fine and plays even better. But its single player story mode is a real disappointment.

Mario Tennis Aces is one of the best Mario Tennis games, and well worth it for gamers that love to sit back with groups of friends. If you appreciate a good game of tennis with some whacky rules to spice it all up, you'll surely enjoy this.

Mario Tennis Aces is great correction of mistakes after failed Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and better game than Mario Tennis Open. Despite the meager campaign, lack of mini-games and limited settings for matches, Mario Tennis is a great and complex multiplayer project that can deliver a lot of fun.

We're used to seeing Wii U games transfer to Switch, but for Ultra Smash to have moved across without a substantial makeover would have been disastrous. Aces, wonderfully, is anything but that – it's a superb arcade sports game that's generous with its suite of player options and only occasionally guilty of being a little cheap in its Adventure Mode. The presentation is spot on, and the core tennis action is absorbing whether you're trading simple strokes or firing off special shots. Some animations and voice overs are identical to Ultra Smash's, but everything around them has been overhauled to quite splendid heights. This is something of a Switch Port Plus, then – not quite a whole new experience, but so improved as to be near unrecognisable next to its preceding title.
