"Mario Tennis Fever lives up to the series&s; tradition of fun pick-up-and-play sporting fun, while expanding on it with fun new mechanics and a range of entertaining game modes."

"Mario Tennis Fever is also a letdown as one of the first Switch 2 exclusives. There’s little that feels truly current-gen, and some of the visuals are surprisingly basic and rough."

"This time around, it has plenty for fans both old and new."

"Mario Tennis Fever is a fully-featured and exciting Mario sports game that is easily the best Mario Tennis has ever been."

"One of the best Mario Tennis games ever, packed with lots of characters, modes and options to satisfy even the most demanding players. The gameplay remains distinctly arcade-style and introduces some significant new features that make matches unpredictable and entertaining. …"

"Ultimately, Mario Tennis Fever occupies the same general territory as recent Mario Tennis games. It&s;s good, but not great. The moment-to-moment gameplay is exciting, Fever Rackets add chaotic, unexpected fun to each match, and the huge roster encourages lots of …"

"Mario Tennis Fever is a decent tennis game with its biggest problems being a lack of innovation, simplified gameplay, and a very weak story mode. If you&s;re a fan of the series and don&s;t care about online play, stick with …"

"Mario Tennis Fever is one of the best Mario sports games in years. Does it solve all the issues we&s;ve seen in the genre over the past decade? No, and sadly, it suffers a lot of the same problems when …"

"Mario Tennis Fever feels like a perfect honing of everything Nintendo and Camelot have tried to do with the Mario Tennis games. While the Adventure mode feels like a bit of an afterthought, everything else in this otherwise robust package …"

"Although I didn’t really vibe with the campaign mode, I still recognize its usefulness. I also wish those motion controls could be used in every other part of the game. If you want a more aggressive, fast-paced tennis game that’s …"

"Mario Tennis Fever has me worried for Nintendo’s sports games on Switch 2. It’s not worse than any of the sports games on Switch 1, but it’s also not any better. The trouble is that it commits almost all of …"

"Mario Tennis Fever continues the series&s; blend of fun, colourful and party-like tennis with a fresh entry on Nintendo Switch 2. Whilst there are glimpses of creativity and nods to past fan-favourites, the solo campaign feels over far too soon. …"

"Mario Tennis Fever is a ton of fun with friends thanks to its wacky new abilities and huge character roster, but it’s once again let down by a bland Adventure mode that’s little more than an extended tutorial."

"On the Game Cube app, there is Mario Strikers. That is an excellent example of a time where Nintendo and its party sports developers had a handle over the balance between capturing the basics of the sport and making it …"

"Mario Tennis Fever still scores points for its core gameplay, particularly when playing against other people, but the game’s frustrating new Fever Racket gimmick and underwhelming single-player modes don’t bring all that much to the court. The result is a …"

"Mario Tennis Fever serves up my favourite game in the series thus far, by finding an addictive balance between Mario&s;s madcap antics and real-world tennis fun. Streamlining superpowers into Fever rackets makes everything easier to parse, and keeping player movement …"

"If you’re buying Mario Tennis Fever to have a few rounds of tennis with friends the way you would Mario Kart, then you’ll have a good time. It’s a solid arcade tennis game with some unique powers and cute character …"

"Mario Tennis Fever works best as a party game: 2-4 players, lots of excitement, and constant reactions to Fever Shots. Fever Rackets really change the game and add a cool layer of tactics, especially in doubles. The problem is that …"
