Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash details
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
– 1-on-1 (2 players) and doubles (four-player) matches on display at E3
– Giant Mode: Mega Mushrooms are occasionally thrown onto the court, seemingly at random
– Nab a Mega Mushroom, and your character will grow huge for an extended period
– Shots become more powerful and your reach much longer
– This mechanic requires some strategy, as hitting a power shot as a giant can knock back your opponents during their return shot, potentially leaving them vulnerable to a well-placed drop shot
– Grabbing the Mushroom pauses the action abruptly to play an animation
– When this happens, the game resumes the action a split-second in the past, allowing you time to get your bearings and get your timing right
– Mario, Bowser, Peach, and Toad in the demo
– Use combinations of button presses for a variety of trick shots—top spin, side spin, lob shots, and drop shots
– Charge up shots for a bigger bang, at the cost of reduced mobility if you misjudge ball placement

The quotes below come from a Eurogamer interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Platinum’s Yusuke Hashimoto…
Miyamoto on the connection to Star Fox 64…
“The overall structure is very similar, but the gameplay, bosses – lots of new content in there.”
Miyamoto on the different views you get on the TV and GamePad…
“We’re definitely going for a different feel where it’s very cinematic, but you’re able to control everything at the same time, so it’s between a movie and a game.”
