In the official warm-up video, the core mechanism of “Fever Rackets” was highlighted. The game contains 30 Fever Rackets with different attributes, each with unique special abilities.

Players need to accumulate energy through continuous pulling to unlock usage opportunities. Once activated, players can disrupt their opponents by freezing the field, releasing elemental damage such as fire or electricity, and even set up obstacles on the opponent’s field. This mechanism completely changes the rhythm of the game, making the originally simple tennis competition full of variables and chaotic fun.

In order to meet the needs of different players, the game provides a variety of battle modes. For players who prefer a traditional experience, “Classic Mode” removes all frenetic racket special effects and restores the purest tennis competition, ensuring that the outcome of the game depends on technology rather than random interference.

Instead, players who like a bit of fun can try a special mode inspired by Super Mario Bros. Surprise, where hitting a “Surprise Flower” triggers drastic changes in the field. In addition, the game also includes an “Adventure Mode” to guide beginners, as well as an online multiplayer mode that supports casual and ranked matches.
