Speculation- Mario Tennis unlockables model for SBU

In Mario Tennis, new characters are unlocked by participating in a monthly tournament. Those who win get to have the new character a month before everyone else. This could open the portal for tons of DLC characters.

I speculate that we will see this model extended to SBU. It might not be every month- but there will likely be some tournament events with a special unlockable as a prize for participating.

This model could also make the competitive scene a little more interesting, by providing additional tournament opportunities and ways to compete. Perhaps there will even be special tournament rules like coin battles, or a select pool of characters.

I bet Mario Tennis was a great way to design, build out and test this model before pushing it out to a bigger franchise.

Wait, Mario Tennis Aces' DLC tournament characters are permanently available? I heard they were only available from their tournaments.

If they're not from the tournaments you can get some usually around the first of every month. We just got a new character yesterday
