Mario & Sonic Ultimate Tennis

Mario & Sonic Ultimate Tennis, is a sports game for the Nintendo Switch It is the first installment in the Mario & Sonic Tennis series. In this game, Mario, Sonic and their various friends and enemies meet up to play tennis. Like previous Mario & Sonic At the Olympic Games sports titles, all the playable characters have incredibly powerful Power Shots. Additionally, there are courts in the game that have special effects and events during the game. For each court, there are also special games to play.
== Opening ==
The game's opening begins with Mario and Sonic playing a match against Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic. Team Mario wins the match and celebrate as Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic complain about their loss. Bowser and Eggman are seen surveying the match through hidden cameras. The next day, Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic see a pictures of Mario, Sonic, Tails and Luigi on the "Peach and Amy Dome Tournament" board and are furious to see that their opponents have knocked them out of the running. Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic vandalize the pictures of Mario, Sonic, Tails, and Luigi, but the police pursue to arrest them. Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic escape into a janitor's closet, but they fall into what appears to be a training room. Bowser and Eggman approaches them and offers an alliance to get revenge against Team Mario. After hours of training and seeing others playing their tennis matches, they carry out a plan to attack the final tournament later that evening at the Peach and Amy Dome.
As Mario and Sonic are about to play the final match of the tournament against Tails and Luigi, Bowser and Eggman shows up on an airship-shaped blimp and rigs the tournament so that Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic can have their rematch with Team Mario, shocking the tournament hosts, Princess Peach, Amy Rose, Big the Cat and Toadsworth. Everyone gets furious at Metal Sonic, Bowser Jr, Eggman, and Bowser wanting them to leave, but Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic silence them by setting up a machine that fires Bob-ombs at Team Mario. Bowser and Eggman in the meantime, throws Bob-ombs at them. However, Mario and Sonic deflect the incoming Bob-ombs back at them with their tennis rackets. Other characters, such as Rouge and Omega, are briefly seen helping Team Mario fending off the Bob-ombs as the spectators evacuate from the stadium; running and screaming for their lives. As a last resort, Bowser and Eggman launches a Bullet Bill from the blimp at them, and Mario knocks it back with his racket, which fires back and hits Wario's Bob-omb launcher. Waluigi is about to retrieve the launcher, but Wario falls and crushes him. The launcher, flipped from the explosion, accidentally fires a Bob-omb at Bowser's blimp, destroying it and revealing Bowser's stock of Bob-ombs below his blimp, shocking Peach, Amy, Big, Toadsworth, Mario, Sonic, Tails, and Luigi.
Bowser's blimp starts to descend out of control and falls toward Wario and Waluigi. Wario and Waluigi attempt to escape, but Bowser crashes to them with the Bob-ombs onboard, causing them to blow up on impact creating a large explosion.
Afterwards, the trio falls unconscious after the blast, and their plan to attack Mario and his friends has completely failed, despite the damage they have done to the stadium. Mario and Luigi are relieved and unharmed, and Mario breaks the fourth wall by saying "Mama mia" at the camera before the scene ends.
== Gameplay ==
Players participate in a tennis game, just as its precedents in the Mario & Sonic Tennis series. To win, the player must score points by hitting the ball into the other side of the court and not making the opponent rebound the ball, just as the traditional way of playing tennis. Players earn 15 points for every shot that is successful and can win the game by earning set, game, and match points by earning 60 points on each game. The amount of set and game points can be set by the player in exhibition mode, but not in tournament mode.

=== Game modes ===
==== Exhibition ====
Players participating in Item Battle Mode.
Up to four players can participate in this versus mode. The players can choose their characters, a court, and what type of game that they can play. The player can also adjust rules in versus match, such as turning power shots on and off, setting the numbers of games and sets, and choose which character to pair with when playing in doubles. Computer levels can also be set by the player, and they range from easiest to hardest: novice, intermediate, expert, pro, and the unlockable ace difficulty. There are three types of games that the player can play.
* Standard Court: The player and the opponent participates in a chosen course with no gimmicks of any kind. The only gimmicks present are the bounce intensity, speed of the ball, and the power shots, if turned on. Standard Courts for any court that is not Peach and Amy Dome must be unlocked first by completing the Gimmick Masters tournaments.
* Gimmick Court: The player participates in the same game as in the court, but with gimmicks that can help or hinder the player, unique to each court. The Peach and Amy Dome is the only court that cannot have gimmicks of any sort whatsoever.
* Item Battle: The player can use special items to help them win against the opponent. To do so, the player must hit an Item Box with the ball and receive a random item, very much like in the Mario Kart series, except that the item received isn't dependent if the player is losing or not.
** Green Koopa Shell: 3 shells zoom out in straight lines. If the player gets hit by one, they will stumble and lose time, possibly going as far as help the opponent gain a point.
** Red Koopa Shell: One Red Shell comes out and chases after the opponent. The effect is similar to that of a green shell if contact has been initiated.
** Mushroom: The Mushroom increases the player's movements for a brief moment of time. It also grows the player back into normal size quicker if they had been shrunk by Lightning.
** Banana: A stationary banana gets shot out. If it hits the ground, the banana remains there. Slipping on a banana peel also has the same effect as shells.
** Star: The Star increases the player's abilities and it makes the player invulnerable for a short period of time. It also grows the player back to normal size quicker, if the player was shrunk by Lightning.
** Lightning/Chaos Emerald: The Lightning strikes the opponents of the court and shrinks them to a tiny size. The opponent's speed, stature, and power will also decrease.
The content and number of the item boxes depends on the court being played on.
* Peach and Amy Dome Courts: None
* Luigi's Mansion/Gigan Rocks: 10% higher chance of lightning bolts.
* Delfino Plaza Court/Angel Island: 10% higher chance of mushrooms.
* Wario Factory/Egg Carrier: Twice as many item boxes.
* Gooper Blooper Court/Windmill Isle: 10% higher chance of red and green shells.
* Donkey Kong Jungle Court/Power Plant: 10% higher chance of bananas.
* Bowser Castle Court/Egg Fleet: Same as Bowser Castle Gimmick Court.
* Mario Classic Court/Green Hill Zone: 10% higher chance of stars.
* Ring Shot: The player scores points by hitting rings to win the game. The player earns the points in the rings by winning the point in the game, which depends on how many rings the player has shot. The losing player will give half of their points to the winning player in charge amount. The amount of ring points needed to win the game ranges from 100, 200, and 500.
==== Tournament ====
The player pits against simultaneous matches against computer opponents to win the trophy in a cup. The higher the cup level, the harder the computers will get. Once a character has completed Star Cup, the character receives a star ranking, strengthening hitting the ball. This rank also allows the character to participate in the Star Tournament, where the opponents also have the star ranking and are generally more difficult. The player can also participate in a Gimmick Tournament, which, as the name implies, enables the player to participate in Gimmick matches in courts against the computer. Although a Doubles Tournament is available, only one player can participate, forcing the player to be paired with an AI-controlled partner of their choice. Additionally, completing the World Open in Doubles does not grant the character a star ranking, so players must complete the Singles tournaments first to participate in Doubles Star Tournament.

Players participating in "Artist on the Court".
Players have the option to play special games as an alternative to going in tournament or exhibition mode. Up to four players can participate in the special games except for Gooper Blooper Volley and Mecha-Bowser Mayhem, which are only for one player. All courts have specific special games that are unique from one another.
* Artist On the Court: Players must color a design on a wall using paint balls to complete the minigame. In order to progress and achieve harder levels, the player must complete the designs within the time limit. Designs include Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Tails, Diddy Kong, Bowser, Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic, and Bowser Jr., and a rainbow of Yoshis, in increasing order of difficulty.
* Balloon Panic: Players must prevent Klaptraps from bursting their balloons by hitting balls at panels to make them change direction. The game ends when a Klaptrap pops a balloon.
* Chain-Chomp Challenge: Players must feed a hungry Chain Chomp with balls. Bob-ombs make the Chain Chomp turn red and earn the player two points for every ball, but hitting the Chain Chomp with another Bob-omb will let the Chain Chomp out and waste the player's time with the need to activate a switch. Water balls place angry Chain Chomps back into their normal positions, and put normal Chain Chomps to sleep. The player can wake the Chain Chomp up by smacking a Bob-omb into it. Players can also tamper with other players' progress.
* Gooper Blooper Volley: Players must rebound hits from a Gooper Blooper in a regular tennis game. However, the player also must avoid rebounding their ball into the gray zone that changes constantly throughout the game. Messing up ends the game.
* Mecha-Bowser Mayhem: Players must defeat a Mecha Bowser that produces beams of light by swinging its tennis racket. Mecha Bowser can attack the player by breathing fire and shooting Bullet Bills. The game ends when either the player or Mecha Bowser is defeated.
* Terror Tennis: The players must prevent ghosts from coming out of the paintings and attacking them. They have to earn a certain amount of points before the time runs out in order to proceed to more difficult levels. The player gets more points if they hit the ghost that is just about to come out of the painting.
* Tic-Tac-Glow: The player must get three Shine Sprites in a row in order to earn points. They can do this by hitting balls to the other side of the court, while hitting the FLUDD icons, in order to spray goop away from the site.
* Coin Collectors: The player must earn coins that enter the court while avoiding fireballs. They can only move left and right, but they can hit tennis balls to hit the POW block for more coins or the destruction of the fireballs. The player with the most coins wins the game.
=== Other modes ===
The Exhibition records.
* Continue: When the players select this option, they can resume a previously saved game. Players can save a game during the middle of a match or before a tournament is started. However, any midgame points gained will reset to 0-0. The game can hold up to three continue files.
* Records: Players can view records on all types of game modes played. If the records are on Exhibition, they can view what character they played and won against. Note that this only applies to beaten computer players by the player shown in a table. The shape of the win depends on the difficulty of the computer (a triangle means novice, a circle means intermediate, a circle with a dot in the middle means expert, a moon means pro, and a star means ace. Plus, a small star icon on the top right corner indicates that the computer was beaten when starred). If the records are on Tournament, the players can view the trophies won in a singles or doubles match with the character the player chosen. In Special Games, the players can view how long and/or how many points they achieved and the difficulty played on.
* Options: The players can adjust in game settings, such as setting the sound system to mono, stereo, or surround, turning music on and off, turning rumble on and off, and setting control options. Control options can be set to easy, normal, and technical, which differs the controls the players must use. The players can also choose to delete save data, but once it is deleted, it cannot be restored.
== Characters ==

== Celebration animations ==
When a character wins a tournament in Singles mode, their celebration will be shown, with an event occuring for each one.
* Mario: Mario holds his trophy, celebrating his victory. Peach, also pleased, holds Mario in place and crouches to kiss Mario's cheek. Mario, in love, puts down the trophy and then jumps to do a cheer.
* Sonic: Tails, Amy and Knuckles walk up to the stage with Tails holding the trophy. Tails gives he trophy to Sonic and Amy hugs him. Sonic puts his trophy down and did his victory animation.

* Tails: Cream walks up to the stage and give Tails the trophy. Tails and Cream fly with victory.
* Peach: Peach celebrates with Mario and Luigi while Wario and Waluigi look on. She blows a kiss to the Mario brothers, making them float. Then, Wario and Waluigi try to steal the trophy, but Wario slips on a tennis ball, knocking over the rack the trophy sat on and flinging the trophy into the air. Peach catches the trophy.
* Amy: Cream and Big arrive on the stage and Cream gave the trophy to Amy. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles arrived on the stage with Amy, Cream and Big. Amy leaned over to Sonic and kissed him.
* Yoshi: Yoshi is waiting for his prize when his stomach grumbles. He is saddened by having nothing to eat at the moment, until Luigi arrives on stage with the trophy. He sees the object as a big and juicy pineapple. Yoshi tries to eat, but ends up swallowing Luigi. He is surprised by his disappearance.
* Bowser: Bowser is cheering and laughing, with Peach at his side. He asks for a kiss on the cheek and closes his eyes. Peach then gets a red Birdo to kiss him. When Bowser sees it, he runs away.
* Bowser Jr.: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Yellow Toad are waiting to reward Bowser Jr. Suddenly they hear a chuckle, which happens to be him snatching the trophy and making poses afterward.

* Blaze: Silver, Amy, and Daisy arrived on the stage. Cream is about to give Blaze her trophy when she suddenly tripped on a stairway making her throw the trophy up. In slow motion, Blaze catches the trophy just in time.
* Donkey Kong: DK is on stage excited over his victory. Toad arrives with the trophy and DK grabs it, unaware that Toad is still hanging on to it. DK shakes the object several times until Toad falls off and faints from dizziness.
* Diddy: Luigi, Tails, Peach and Amy are in the area with Donkey Kong, who is playing a bongo. Diddy arrives, jumping and running around Luigi and then picks up the trophy with his tail. Diddy throws his prize up, jumps on the bongo, and catches the trophy. Diddy then jumps on DK's shoulder and they both strike a pose.
* Wario: Wario walks and jumps around until he falls off the stage while still holding the trophy. He lands on it, and when he gets up, he is shocked to see it flattened, so he picks it up and sadly shows it off.
* Waluigi: Waluigi holds the trophy and does a dance with Wario. Wario pushes Waluigi, making him fall, losing his grip on the trophy. As he tries to get up, the trophy hits him on the head and he is angered.
* Boo: The Mario Brothers wait for Boo when the trophy begins to levitate. Mario and Luigi are frightened, until they saw that Boo was invisible when he got it which then amuses them. Several other Boos appear, two of which carry Mario and Luigi as they laugh.
* Koopa Troopa: Koopa Troopa comes on stage while Luigi, Tails, Mario, Sonic, Peach and Amy applaud for his victory. Diddy Kong is eating bananas and throws a banana peel onto Koopa Troopa's path. Luigi, Tails, Mario, Sonic, Peach and Amy try to warn him, but he slips on the peel, slides across the stage, ricochets off a pole and then hits Luigi in the face, who accidentally tosses the trophy from the impact. Koopa Troopa catches it, waves to the crowd and gives a peace sign.
* Paratroopa: Paratroopa notices how his shell is attached to a fishing hook to the string of a fishing pole held by Wario while Waluigi holds back the trophy, to prevent Paratroopa from getting it. Toad cuts the string with a large pair of scissors. That causes Wario and Waluigi to fall, making Paratroopa get the prize.
* Shy Guy: Luigi and Tails wait in place. Shy Guy arrives, walking happily. After climbing the steps, he falls and drops his mask. Luigi and Tails get very scared seeing his true face, but Shy Guy quickly puts his mask back and takes the trophy.
* Fly Guy: Wario and Waluigi pretend to offer Fly Guy the trophy, but Waluigi grabs Fly Guy with a giant pair of pliers. This causes Fly Guy to spin wildly out of control, knocking down Wario and Waluigi, and launching the trophy into the air. Fly Guy catches the trophy and celebrates with Peach and Amy.
* Petey Piranha: Mario and Sonic present the trophy to Petey Piranha while Peach, Amy, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy and a pink Toad look on. Petey then begins to jump in place excitedly, shaking the platform. After he takes the trophy, Petey jumps into the air. Mario, Sonic, Peach, Amy, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy and the Toad brace for impact, but when nothing happens, they look up and see Petey flying, whilst clutching the trophy in his mouth.
* Wiggler: Luigi, Tails and Diddy Kong give Wiggler the trophy, but Diddy Kong accidentally rolls a tennis ball, causing Wiggler to slip on it and drop the trophy. Luigi, Tails and Diddy Kong become anxious, knowing Wiggler will become angry, but it calms down when it sees its trophy. Luigi and Tails check up on it, but Diddy Kong loses his footing from the tennis ball, bumps into Luigi and Tails and all three of them land on Wiggler and knock the trophy away. Wiggler becomes angry and then chases Diddy Kong, Luigi and Tails, who flee in fear.
