Limited-Time Mario Tennis Fever Icons Dated Across Four Waves
Nintendo has announced a new set of user icon elements themed around Mario Tennis Fever. The content is available for a limited time and will rotate through four weekly waves between February and March (PT). These elements are part of the My Nintendo Platinum Points rewards catalog. Nintendo also notes that icon selections refresh monthly in the Nintendo Switch Online app on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
Alongside the schedule, Nintendo outlined core gameplay ideas from Mario Tennis Fever, highlighting shot variety and a new power mechanic tied to rallies.

What the Game Emphasizes

- Shot variety – topspins, slices, and lobs return, supported by “fancy footwork” and new defensive maneuvers.
- Momentum matters – extended rallies build a Fever Gauge, unlocking impactful Fever Shots.
- Gear-driven effects – Fever Rackets can add special effects to empowered shots.
