Unlockables

Beyond the main story, Mario Tennis Aces offers a wealth of unlockable content to enhance your tennis experience. From new characters to unique outfits and courts, completing specific challenges in Adventure Mode and participating in online tournaments will expand your roster and customization options. This section details how to acquire every hidden gem the game has to offer.

Adventure Mode Rewards

Adventure Mode is your primary source for character and court unlocks. Successfully completing each area and its associated boss battle is crucial.

  • Luigi: Luigi is automatically unlocked as a playable character upon completing the Adventure Mode story. You'll face him in the final confrontation at Marina Stadium, and once the credits roll, he'll be available in all other modes.
  • Mirror Court: To unlock the Mirror Court, you must achieve a perfect clear in the "Mirage Mansion" area. This means completing all challenges and defeating the boss without failing any objectives. The Mirror Court features a unique visual effect that can be disorienting but adds a fun challenge to matches.
  • Piranha Plant Forest Court: Conquer the challenges of the "Piranha Plant Forest" and defeat its formidable boss to unlock this vibrant, plant-filled court. Be mindful of the Piranha Plants themselves, as they can interfere with rallies!
  • Snowfall Mountain Court: Successfully navigate the icy terrain and defeat the boss of "Snowfall Mountain" to add this chilly court to your selection. The slippery surface of this court can affect ball physics, so adjust your shots accordingly.
  • Savage Sea Court: Overcome the aquatic trials and defeat the boss lurking in the "Savage Sea" to unlock this dynamic court. Expect some environmental hazards that can change the flow of the game.
  • Inferno Island Court: Brave the fiery challenges and defeat the final boss of "Inferno Island" to unlock this intense court. The heat can make rallies more challenging and unpredictable.

Tournament Mode & Online Play Unlockables

While Adventure Mode provides a solid foundation, some of the most sought-after unlockables come from participating in online tournaments and achieving specific milestones.

  • Special Character Outfits: Many characters have alternate outfits that can be unlocked. These are typically awarded for participating in monthly online tournaments.
    • How to Unlock: Check the "Online Tournament" section of the main menu for current and upcoming tournaments. Often, simply participating in a tournament and playing a certain number of matches (e.g., 5-10 matches) will grant you the monthly outfit, regardless of your ranking. Higher rankings may offer additional rewards or earlier access.
    • Example: The Classic Mario Outfit was a reward for participating in the June 2018 online tournament. Keep an eye on in-game announcements for details on specific outfit unlocks.
  • New Playable Characters (Post-Launch): Nintendo periodically releases new playable characters as free updates, often tied to online tournament participation during their initial release month.
    • How to Unlock: When a new character is announced, they are usually available early for players who participate in the designated online tournament for that month. After the tournament concludes, the character typically becomes available for all players to unlock by playing a certain number of matches in any mode, or sometimes they are simply added to the roster.
    • Strategy: If you want immediate access to new characters, participate in the online tournament during their debut month. Even playing a few matches will often suffice.

Other Unlockables & Tips

  • Star Characters: After completing Adventure Mode, you'll unlock the ability to play as "Star" versions of characters. These versions have slightly enhanced stats, making them more powerful. To unlock a Star character, simply win a match with that character in any mode after completing Adventure Mode.
  • Character Customization: While not strictly "unlockables" in the traditional sense, earning coins in various modes allows you to purchase different rackets and accessories for your Mii character in the "Customization" menu.
  • Replaying Adventure Mode: Don't forget that you can replay Adventure Mode stages and boss battles to improve your scores, earn more coins, and practice your skills. Some challenges have hidden objectives that might lead to minor cosmetic unlocks or bonus coins.

By diligently exploring Adventure Mode and actively participating in online tournaments, you'll soon have a fully expanded roster and a wide array of courts and customization options at your disposal, truly becoming a Mario Tennis Ace!
