Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is a 2015 sports game in the Mario Tennis series developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo for the Wii U, released internationally in November 2015, and released in Japan in January 2016. It is the first Mario Tennis game to feature simultaneous online worldwide multiplayer.
