Bowser Jr. and his dead father join the ranks of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

Skeleton and son

The most recent trailer for Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash introduces both Bowser Jr. and Dry Bowser to the court. Neither character is new to the Mario Tennis series, although Junior is now bringing the Koopa Clown Car along to help him out.

It’s still a bit weird seeing Bowser Jr. playing tennis with the skeleton of his father, but I guess it’s nice that they can still spend time together even though his dad is undead. You know, it’s actually a little heartwarming, in a messed up kind of way.

I hope we see more Mario enemies joining the roster, those are always my favorite characters to choose. I’m rooting for Shy Guy to make a return, or for Blooper to make his tennis debut.
