Fever Rackets can help you get an edge over your opponents in Mario Tennis Fever, so you’ll want to choose carefully when it comes to picking the best one for your playstyle.

There are a total of 30 Fever Rackets for you to unlock in Mario Tennis Fever. Some Fever Rackets, like the Fire Flower Racket, shoot fireballs across the court with every swing, while others, such as the Ghost Racket, make both the player and the ball invisible.
