Despite launching on Switch all the way back in June last year, Mario Tennis Aces' impressive post-launch support shows no signs of abating. And there's more to come later this week, with the previously teased arrival of Mario series stalwart Boom Boom as a brand-new playable character.
If the name Boom Boom isn't immediately familiar, that's entirely forgivable. In the great pantheon of Mario universe character designs, he's certainly on the more forgettable side (and, yes, I realise I risk antagonising a hitherto unseen army of Boom Boom fans here). You'll know him when you see him though; Boom Boom has popped up as a Mario game mini-boss on numerous occasions, dazzling all with his sharp pirouettes before suffering an inevitably swift dispatch via a couple of stomps to the head. And look, here he is now...
Boom Boom's place in the Mario Tennis Aces line-up was first announced at the tail-end of 2018, where he was confirmed to be one of three characters arriving between January and March this year - the others being Luma (available now) and Pauline. Boom Boom is a Defensive character, just like Bowser Jr and Waluigi before him, meaning that he benefits from a longer reach compared to other classes. Boom Boom's Mario Tennis Aces reveal trailer above shows his standard, trick, and special shots in action.
