What is Mario Tennis Hot?

Mario Tennis Hot It is a series of Mario-themed tennis games that date back to the age of the game boys and the first since Mario Tennis Ace, the original switch for 2018. The fever brings back familiar shots, familiar photos like Topspins, sherices and Lobs, but introduces some new defensive moves like sliding and diving to help you stir the ball across the courtroom.

Keeping the rally forward will increase your fever scale. Once satisfied, you can release a powerful fever based on the equipment's fever racket and enhance the effect. You can create an icy position under your opponent with a racquet, narrow your opponent with a mini mushroom racket, and create a shadow self for playing next to the shadow racket.

The game has many modes to play, including competitive match mode and test tower mode, where various goals can be accomplished during the game. Then there is the mix mode, which introduces new rules as you play. The mode also includes Wonder flowers you can touch for some creepy additions in court. There is also a well-designed adventure mode that involves baby versions of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Wario and Waluigi, relearn how to play the game. It looks stupid in a fun way.

Online, you can play casual competitions with your opponents in the online room or choose to participate in ranking competitions. And if you feel nostalgic about the Wii era, you can also swing the Joy-Con 2 to hit the ball.
