After golf, tennis was the next easy fit. A tennis game was produced and released in 2000, starring the Mario characters competing with each other. Although no generic human characters would appear in that game, Nintendo would follow its strategy with Mario Golf, releasing a handheld version alongside it, complete with an RPG mode following a young rookie as they work their way up through the ranks.
These are Alex or Nina, students of Princess Peach’s royal tennis academy. On their first day, they are paired up with a doubles partner, Harry for Alex and Kate for Nina. Alex and Nina would again reappear in a cameo in Mario Tennis: Power Tour, congratulating their successors who we will touch on later.
As a playable character, they will have two modes: Singles or Doubles. Alex and Nina will switch color swaps, with Harry and Kate acting as their doubles partner. In singles, they will be light and fast, able to move around a bit more freely. With their doubles partner activated, they will be a bit slower, but will have the added power and defense of their partner to rely on. Their moves will pull from all across the Mario Tennis series, changing slightly depending on whether they are in Singles or Doubles mode.
Likelihood rating: Probably not
