MarioExcels across shots, volleys, and positioning, making him a reliable choice for beginners and pros alike.

B-Tier Characters

HeroesFeatures
BowserLarge size and reach allow you to dominate the net with smashes and reliable aggressive play, albeit with tons of mobility issues.
DaisyHere’s another player who excels in rallies and net play, but low speed limits court coverage and stats to counter specialists.
Dry BowserUse this Bowser for strong curving backhand slices to help you in defense with good reach and coverage, but having low speed, as usual.
GoombaHere’s the smallest character in the game with solid speed, decent control and power for rallies with evasive size that helps your defense.
Koopa ParatroopaGood speed supports many of your technical plays, and quick flat shots pack some serious punch, just don’t expect much spinning.
LuigiHas balanced speed for reliable play all around the court, but his spin and control need improvement.
Baby WarioDeals adult-level punches in a small frame of body with decent speed for aggressive bursts.
NabbitQuick and tricky payer with balanced control and evasive skills that struggles against powerhouses.

All the remaining characters are simply not viable in competitive play, but you can use them for casual and fun tournaments with your friends.
