    This might just be one of the most boring games I have ever played, I bought it thinking i was gonna a great time looking at the nice box art and stunning graphics. Eventually, after playing it I'd rather clean up cow **** One of the most advertised things about this game is Mega Battle and when you get the Mega Mushroom the other player will also get one making it useless and dull.

Eventually, after playing it I'd rather clean up cow **** One of the most advertised things about this game is Mega Battle and when you get the Mega Mushroom the other player will also get one making it useless and dull. I played one of the other game modes Mega Ball Rally where you hit a ball as much as you can before it starts to shrink, and again I felt no enjoyment. I would talk about other things but that's it, this game has two other game modes one being amiibo. But why I have amiibo's. Then i tried playing Online, good luck with that because knowone has played this game in years. This game is trash don't buy it… Expand

    So barebones in content and boring as hell, for $50? Terrible considering how much effort and content there was in previous Mario Tennis installments. Nintendo and Camelot, please do better.

    Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash suffers from its content much too weak for a tennis game (roster below, online limit). Lack of ambition for the license and in 2015 despite beautiful graphics.

    The game itself is not that vast but when you play it with someone like a friend it becomes a great experience, but it's really sad to see that the game is mediocre in it's content.

    This game is a tennis game made on probably a really tight budget since all it is, is a tennis game with a mega mushroom which doesn’t even do much. It looks nice though.

    don't buy this game if you are looking for FUN games it delivers an hour of excitement after that it sits on a shelf for years there is barely anything to do in this game and what there is to do is poorly excecuted

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I own this game, and I play it, but it's quite a bore. There's barely anything to do.
    How to fix the game:
    1. Have a meter in Mega Battle, kinda like the one in Mario Sports Mix. When the meter builds up, then your character can have the option to turn big.
    2. Have an in depth RPG story mode.
    3. Have a tournament mode with a final boss if fully beaten.
    4. Have a mode with minigames.
    5. Add in around 4 more characters.
    6. Have most of the courts be in different settings and change the structure for some of them.
    7. Have an option to turn off Chance Shots.

    The content that's there is decent, but the lack of interesting and diverse modes and the fact that previous Mario Tennis games had more to offer is a disappointment.    … Expand

    This game is a shining example of how NOT to do a Mario Tennis game.
    It's so lacking in content that it really shows how fast Nintendo was just trying to rush it out for the sake of sales.
    All the stages are the exact same in size and functions, doing nothing different from level to level than a normal tennis court. There's absolutely NO special moves other than becoming giant, which    This game is a shining example of how NOT to do a Mario Tennis game.

    Rather than program in numerous different specials for different characters, they'd rather there be one with little to no substance.
    The online is next to dead of course, with no one having been on, even AT release.

    Overall, this game is just a shameless cash grab from Nintendo with no care or effort put into giving it substantial content. If you want a tennis game done RIGHT, go play Sega Superstars Tennis for the DS.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While disappointing compared to other entries in the Mario Tennis Series, I still enjoyed Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash quite a bit. While the modes are scarce it was nice to have online play available and Mega Battle was pretty fun.

    However, there is no tournament mode, story mode or anything like that. There is no awesome opening cutscene like Mario Power Tennis for the Gamecube and there are no cool side games including Ring Shot, a classic, and the fantastic Super Mario Tennis from the 3DS Mario Tennis Open. The lack of modes is the biggest problem here.

    However, the gorgeous visuals and quality gameplay do redeem this game quite a bit for me and I enjoyed mastering it as best I could. Overall, a pretty good game.    … Expand

    I gotta say that this game was not worth $60. Most characters don't have special outfits, the knockout challenge is the worst mode in the game. There's always the one regular stadium to play on which sucks. On the Upside, the graphics aren't too bad. They were a slight improvement to the last Tennis game.

    100% trash. You cant even play multiplayer with your friends and be on the same team against the AI, basically the most simple game mode imaginable but its not in the game. Pure crap.

    This game is just empty. There are few game modes which are either boring or too short. The only thing this game has going for it is the amino functionality which is actually quite useful for once. This game has no replay value and I have no wish to return to this game whatsoever.This game simply feels rushed.

    Pocos modos de juego, escasez de opciones en comparación con otros Marios de tenis, aun así es divertido jugar partidos entre varios amigos cuando no haya nada mejor que hacer.

    Sério, esse jogo não merece um 5.3. Posso garantir que é um jogo muito divertido, os gráficos são agradáveis, os controles respondem bem, você consegue pegar a linha de aprendizado desse jogo muito rapidamente, e é um jogo que você compra e pode jogar por diversas horas pois é difícil de enjoar, se tivesse mais modos acho que iria merecer um 9, mas mesmo assim eu gostei.

    Graphics: 7.5 Sound: 7 Gameplay: 8 Fun/Story: 7.2

    Nintendo´s old game of N64 with some refreshment but lacks of innovate ideas and deeper gameplay. Some Nintendo´s franchises are not going in good direction due the repetition sensation.

    This game is okay. Not as good as some of the previous ones but still good. For some reason, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash feels...a little rushed. I really don't know if Nintendo was trying to do. Maybe they wanted to release early? The character selection is good. The graphics are okay for the Wii U. The controls are okay but I can screw up at times. The courts are simple but fun.

Mario Tennis Ultra Smash isn't the best Mario Sports Games (The GameCube and Wii ones I enjoy more) but I'd say it's worth getting ONLY if it is $40 or less. I think $50 is a bit too much for this title. Months ago, I was lucky enough to find it for $30, which is what the price SHOULD be. As of this review, I play it quite a bit these days. I'd say it's a fun game.… Expand

    The core mechanics of Mario Tennis have potential but there is simply not enough here to justify more than a few hours of entertainment. I can't recall ever seeing such a light return investment on a full priced game.

    Solo dire que es entretenido en los ratos libres o con los amigos por un rato igual.
    Pocas modalidades de juego. Y pocos personajes y dificultad floja.

    It seems someone forgot to develop a game before publishing it, because MTUS lacks content so desperately that it looks like a mini game from Mario Party. [02/2016, p.63]
