Mario Tennis Ultra Smash
The Mushroom Kingdom’s latest sport title has a few new aces up its sleeve. Both amiibos and the cosmic Rosalina will hit the court when Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash comes out on the Wii U November 20.
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash introduced a number of changes to the traditional Mario Tennis formula. Characters can perform the game's signature Ultra Smash shots by leaping into the air to hit powerful downward strikes. Gameplay modes include Classic Tennis, Online Multiplayer, Mega Battle, and Knockout Challenge, a tiered set of single-player matches against progressively stronger computer opponents. Mega Battle will give characters access to Mega Mushrooms to power up for increased strength.
Players can partner with amiibos to face off against human opponents online or A.I. tennis players in the offline Knockout Challenge mode. The figures will sharpen their skills the more matches they play. Compatible amiibos include Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Yarn Yoshis, Rosalina, Wario, Toad, and Donkey Kong.
