Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
This article is about an upcoming game. Editors must cite sources for all contributions to this article. Edits that do not follow this standard may be reverted without notice.
Template:Infobox Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash[1] is a sports game in the Mario Tennis series for the Wii U. It is the seventh installment in the series.
Gameplay
The game plays similarly to previous entries of the Mario Tennis series. Chance shots, which made their debut in Mario Tennis Open, make a return in the game, with a new technique called the Jumpshot which sends the ball flying down the court. A new feature is the ability to use Mega Mushrooms to grow the characters to give them an advantage.
In two player singles, the GamePad serves as a second screen, positioning for the first player as the TV is used in the second player's point of view.[2]
It is confirmed that the game does not support motion controls.[3]
The game has been confirmed to work with amiibo. When a compatible amiibo is scanned into the game, that character appears in the game as a computer partner that can be trained,[2] similar to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
Confirmed playable characters
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash has been confirmed to have sixteen playable characters[2]. Out of the sixteen, Toadette, Rosalina, and Green Sprixie Princess are new playable characters.

Trivia
- This is Rosalina's debut in the Mario Tennis series as well as the first appearance of her sports attire.
- This is the first game since Mario Power Tennis to give Princess Peach and Princess Daisy uniquely separate sports clothing rather than the same, with Peach donning a skirt while Daisy has on shorts.
- This is the first Wii U title to feature an official artwork for Daisy that isn't reused from a prior title.
