Mario Tennis Fever includes a single-player campaign \u2018Adventure\u2019 mode as well as multiplayer \u2018Tournament\u2019, \u2018Trial Towers\u2019 and \u2018Free Play\u2019 modes. Players can also play matches online.<\/p>\n
The game currently has a \u201cgenerally favourable<\/a>\u201d review score of 77 per cent on aggregate site Metacritic, based on 70 early reviews.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Nintendo Insider<\/a> called it \u201cthe best sports entry we\u2019ve had from the plumber since his GameCube days\u201d in their glowing 9\/10 review. \u201cAs chaotic as Mario Kart<\/a>, it stands alongside the likes of Mario Golf Toadstool Tour and Mario Strikers Charged as the best Mario sports games. It\u2019s completely thrilling,\u201d wrote Dexerto<\/a>.<\/p>\n GamesRadar+<\/a> criticised the \u201cshockingly charmless\u201d single-player campaign mode. \u201cIt\u2019s a plodding and humourless text-based story that\u2019s punctuated by bizarrely lacklustre tennis action,\u201d they wrote while praising the \u201criotous, hilarious, chaotic fun\u201d of multiplayer.<\/p>\n \u201cPredictably, Mario Tennis Fever is the most fun when you\u2019re playing with a few friends [but] it\u2019s tough to recommend to solo players, as Fever\u2019s bland, uninspired Adventure mode is more of an extended tutorial than an actual adventure,\u201d reads IGN<\/a>\u2019s review.<\/p>\n \u201cMario Tennis Fever is another solid enough sports game from Camelot, but a disappointingly short single-player offering and a real risk of imbalance \u2013 whether using Fever Rackets or not \u2013 means what could have been fantastic will have to settle for simply being good,\u201d wrote VGC<\/a> in their 3 star review.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSeems like the make or break for this game for people will be online play, which the reviewers didn\u2019t have access to,\u201d wrote<\/a> one fan. \u201cI really don\u2019t get why they can\u2019t just add a little RPG adventure mode like the GameBoy golf and tennis games had,\u201d added<\/a> another.<\/p>\n Last month, subscribers to Goggle\u2019s new AI tool Project Gemini created Mario knock-offs<\/a> before the prompt was banned due to \u201cinterests of third-party content providers.\u201d<\/p>\n In other news, Isabela Merced will lead the live-action adaptation of\u00a0The House Of The Dead<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0Resident Evil<\/a>\u00a0director Paul W.S. Anderson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mario Tennis Fever is out tomorrow (February 12) and according to early reviews, the sports game is an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":472979,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,127,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-472978","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nintendo-switch-2","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=472978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Mario](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Mario-Tennis-Fever.jpg\")
