What is Mario Tennis Aces like?

Play one on one or in doubles, with special shots that can break your opponent's racket.

You pick a Mario character and play singles or doubles, with up to four on one Switch, on separate Switch consoles nearby or online. Hitting the ball fills an energy gauge that you spend on Zone Speed, which slows time around you, or on Zone Shots, where you aim in first person and smash it. If your opponent fails to block a shot, their racket takes damage and breaks after three hits, which knocks them out. Tournament Mode is against the CPU, and Adventure Mode is a solo story with missions and bosses.
