A two-minute CGI animation opens with a major tournament featuring all the iconic characters from the series. The trailer shows Mario and Luigi competing in doubles against Wario and Waluigi, Peach demonstrating grace on the court, and Bowser's shots literally destroying the surface. The main gameplay mechanic will be the "Fever" system — a special energy bar, when filled, allows characters to perform spectacular shots that are almost impossible to return.
The material also showcases a variety of locations: from desert oases and abandoned estates to futuristic platforms in the clouds. The quality of graphics and gameplay snippets indicate that the project fully unlocks the capabilities of the new generation of Nintendo consoles, offering smooth animation and high detail.
Mario Tennis Fever will be the most complete installment in the series, combining an extensive single-player story mode and advanced online features. Experts note that the game has every chance of surpassing the iconic Mario Power Tennis from the GameCube era.
