Mario Tennis Aces
The second Nintendo Treehouse Log post for Mario Tennis Aces allow us to get some details and screenshots for Powerful and Defensive characters.
Powerful
They are slower than the other characters, but their high-speed shots sure pack a punch! If you’re the offensive type, this is definitely the kind of characters you should go for! If you’re playing against such a character, take advantage of their slower speed by aiming your shots far away from them: if you do it right, the only way for them to hit those balls will be to use a Trick Shot!
- Wario
- Bowser
- Donkey Kong
- Chain Chomp
Defensive
The strength of those character lies in their ability to return all kinds of shots and reach even heard-to-reach balls. If you’re playing as one, make sure to stay at the center of the court: that way, you have great horizontal range to defend against balls. If you’re playing against one, then try throwing in some Zone Shots or Special Shots in order to break their rhythm and move them around the court. The key lies in outsmarting them!
Finally, here’s the latest set of screenshots for the game:

Right now, it’s not clear whether other regions/countries will also get this Special Edition or not…
