Mario Tennis Fever Update 1.1.0 Brings Mario Galaxy and GameShare Online G Trends

A free update for Mario Tennis Fever has been released, adding a new Court, Racket, and Mix-It-Up mode based on the Super Mario Galaxy games, as well as adding online GameShare via GameChat.

Update 1.1.0 for Mario Tennis Fever is now available and is a pretty good batch of new content. The new Galaxy Court is visually Mario Galaxy themed, but also gives the balls a higher bounce to mimic the lower gravity of its smaller celestial bodies. Then there’s the new Black Hole Racket, which can create black holes with a Fever Shot that can suck opponents straight in.

The Galaxy Court Match is added as a new mode, which introduces one of three prank comets, which can summon dark doubles, speed everyone up, or a sudden death mode where body blows will immediately eliminate a character from the game.

Perhaps the best addition, however, is that GameShare can now work online via GameChat. While this requires everyone to have a Switch Online subscription for GameChat, it means four people can play online using one copy of the game (I’d just be wary of latency in this scenario).

Here are the full Mario Tennis Fever v1.1.0 patch notes:

Added “GameShare” and “Play via GameChat”

• Added functionality to play the game with friends on GameChat who don’t have the game.
• In “Play via GameChat” you can play tennis matches with swing controls in addition to tennis matches with button controls and games in Mix It Up. Note: A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to use GameChat.

Added a new Fever racket, the “Black Hole Racket”.

• The new Fever Racket “Black Hole Racket” has been added, which causes a black hole when the Fever Shot hits the ground.
• The black hole it causes has the effect of pulling nearby players into the black hole when it becomes large.
• Your HP gauge will take damage if you approach the black hole. If your HP reaches 0 due to the black hole and you are knocked out, you will be sucked into the black hole.
• Black holes do not have the effect of attracting incoming balls.

Added a new courtyard, the “Galaxy Court”.

• A new court was added based on Super Mario Galaxy.
• The court is built on a distant planet, and while the ball speed isn’t particularly fast, the balls have a high bounce.
• The field has a different shape depending on whether you play free matches, ranked matches or special matches.

Added a new special match, “Galaxy Court Match”.

• Special “Galaxy Court Match” match rules have been added: you play on a spherical court built on a distant planet.
• As the match progresses, one of three types of “Prankster Comets” will appear and significantly change the strategy of the match.

Added new colors for Luma

• Added five new Luma colors as playable characters.

Added classic Mario outfit

• Added classic Mario outfit as a reward for collecting 5 medals.

Character Spec Changes

• Changed the specifications of some characters.

Fever Racket Specification Changes

• Changed the specifications of some Fever rackets.

Changes to firing behavior

• Adjusted star point detection to make it easier to perform Star Shots.

Other changes

• In addition to the new “Galaxy Court”, you can now select “Academy Court (Grass)”, “Academy Court (Hard)” and “Academy Court (Clay)” in the court selection.
• You can now select “Random” on the racket selection screen. If you select “Continue” at the end of the match, you can compete with a different racket each match.
• Added an option to disable pressing the A and B buttons at the same time to hit a flat shot.
• Adjusted how modes are randomly selected to “Find All Modes” in Ranked Matches.
• Added “Galaxy Court” as a ranked match court and adjusted the order in which courts appear.
• So, when playing the special game “Racket Factory Match”, if you do not have a FV gauge bar filled when you pick up a Fever racket, your FV gauge will fill up to 1 bar.
• Several other adjustments and fixes have been made to improve the gaming experience.
