Talk:Mario Tennis Aces

DK not confirmed

They showed Donkey Kong right after they mentioned the Story Mode. Donkey Kong could be just an opponent. It's not confirmed that he's a playable character. For all we know, Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi may be the only playable characters. B ron 3000 20:10, 18 January 2018 (EST)

It's highly unlikely that DK will be just an opponent character, considering he has no other traits that make him stand out from the other playable characters, or from the boss character. He's the same size, has a character face icon, has a racket, and has been playable in almost all previous Mario Tennis games. And unlike the boss fight, while playing against him in the video, it looked like a normal tennis match instead of some boss fight. MarioComix (talk) 21:40, 18 January 2018 (EST)

I'll also add that DK has a gauge like that of the other playable characters. All the other enemies fought in the story mode part of the trailer don't have that.--Mister Wu (talk) 19:56, 19 January 2018 (EST)

Giving my two cents, while points given are true, I still believe it's possible that DK is a CPU opponent and not playable. It could be like the case of the Mario & Sonic series with the rival characters; they have character icons, but are not playable (e.g.: ).

Either he's a boss, or an unlockable player you unlock by beating him. But until we find out, I don't think DK should be in the Playable characters section. B ron 3000 09:26, 3 February 2018 (EST)

Costumes

Regarding what we've seen with Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi, would it be wise to point out that this is the first Mario Tennis game since Mario's Tennis where Mario wears tennis gear instead of his normal clothing? Kangaflora (talk) 19:00, 19 January 2018 (EST)

We could note this in a future Characters header once we get more information and the games come out. I definitely say it has a place somewhere. Ray Trace^(T|C) 19:05, 19 January 2018 (EST)
