Dry Bowser has now officially joined the ranks in Mario Tennis Aces. To celebrate, Nintendo has shared a brand new trailer showing off his moves on the court.
Classed as a defensive character, Dry Bowser looks just as powerful as you'd expect. The trailer above showcases his standard shots, trick shot and special shot, and also confirms exactly how you can get your hands on the character for yourself.
An in-game tournament is now live for the duration of July which will give you the chance to obtain Dry Bowser early; as is usually the case, he'll then be available to all players starting from next month. Incidentally, the turn of the month means that Fire Piranha Plant is now available to all.
Are you still enjoying the odd game, set and match on Mario Tennis Aces? Will you be checking out Dry Bowser as your next playable character? Tell us below.

Not gonna lie, I saw the word "court" and I thought there was some new Nintendo lawsuit going on. XD
I love a tennis game ... but this just doesn’t look like tennis at all. A little less of the super-shot / racquet-breaking type mechanics, proper games and sets, and I’d be interested
@Heavyarms55 ‘Dry Bowser’? Maybe NOA have been banning their lead executive from visiting the local bar?
So, he will be the last character to be added, right?
The Character selection is pretty lame, Dry Bowser is another lazy cop out.
There's great characters here.. Best roster ever IMO
don't forget too this month you can unlock Wario / Waluugi alternate costumes and a new batch of colourful Shy guys in co op mode
It's a really great game.. I've played more hours on this than anything else
i will be checking this out.
Yeah I will be checking this out!
@Bondi_Surfer just play on simple mode
Nice to see Tennis Aces still receiving free DLC updates, Kudos to Camelot.
But it makes me all the more saddened that Super Mario Party hasn't been treated similarly
Even just one more board would be nice.
Guessing NDCube might be working on the sequel instead.
Nice to see support. Love this game and haven’t played in a while but will try this week.
Btw, is any way to get Blue Vizor hat for Boo ?
Wish Camelot and Nintendo would add more additional content for the single-player campaign. The core gameplay is great but there’s very little actual game content in which to use it. Bought this at launch and have currently less than 15hrs gameplay logged. So not worth the asking price in my experience but I haven’t utilised the online tourneys or online multiplayer as much as I could. That’s the only way I can see myself getting some more value out of the game for the cash I paid.
Unless, I have missed it in the options, you can’t even replay through the story mode with a different character without having to wipe your save file. Daft.
Does anyone else find Dry Bowser a little unsettling? Like, Dry Bones was always sort of weird too. I loved him, but there's some necromancy involved there that you just don't think about too hard.
Dry Bowser, though...
Is Bowser a lich? Does he have a phylactery somewhere that Mario needs to destroy or he'll just keep coming back to life? Or is he just a reanimated puppet in slave to magikoopa? (kemick? I know magikoopa has a name).
It's just more thinking than I'm prepared to do about my mario games.
@Bondi_Surfer Play on simple mode then. As simple as that.
Genuinely my favorite roster out of any Mario spin off (All it was missing to be absolute perfection was Funky Kong and the Mario 64 Penguin)
In all seriousness though the only thing I NEED for this game before it is completely finished with updates is an Item Match mode like the N64 ver, I miss that mode so much and witht he frantic gameplay it'd be a perfect fit imho. That said, if Camelot made a Toadstool tour style Mario Golf game next and just used this same roster at launch, I would not complain.
@santaglause Who were you hoping for exactly? All I ever see is praise for the roster: it’s kept the mainstays, reintroduced the likes of Diddy, Birdo, and Petey, and added Pauline to the spin-offs. Not to mention the oddballs of Chain Chomp and Fire Piranha Plant.
Me myself, I’m disappointed King Boo wasn’t playable, but otherwise I can live without the Koopalings, babies, and other Kongs for the sake of variety. (Even then I know Boo is already playable and goes against what I say for King Boo and variety — but all the same, he’s already a boss like Petey and there’s never been an overabundance of Boos or Piranha Plants.)
@Bondi_Surfer there's a mode without super shots, just normal tennis with Mario characters.
@Bondi_Surfer play simple mode. It's just normal Tennis without any of the gimmicks.
This is just a reskinned Bowser...
