Revision as of 03:20, 22 June 2018

Mario Tennis Aces is a Mario Tennis game for the Nintendo Switch. This is the first game in the series to have a story mode since Mario Tennis: Power Tour.

Gameplay

The gameplay is generally the same as past entries with Simple rules stripping the extraneous rules. Matches are available up to 4 players and the game supports motion controls with a single joy-con. The game also has a story mode with many varied moves.

The main new mechanic is the energy meter. Players can use their generated energy meter to perform Zone Shots which are powerful shots the player can aim using motion controls. If the player hits the opposing player's racket straight on, it gets damaged and if it gets damaged 3 times, it will break and that player must forfeit the match. To counter this, the opposing player can use Zone Speed using up their own energy meter to slow down everything to hit the ball. if a player fills up their entire energy meter, they can spend it all to perform a special shot that can destroy the opposing player's racket in a single shot. The only way to avoid breaking the rackets is to use the Block move which is a perfectly timed swing that reflects the shot to the other side with no damage. To fill up the energy meter, the player can perform risky Tricky Shots though it will generate with long rallys.

Story Mode

In the Story mode, the characters moves on a map and must face various challenges on their journey. Luigi has awakened some sort of evil Tennis deity and Mario must save him with Tennis
