Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope

Mario and the Rabbids collide again in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. In this sequel to Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Mario and his friends enjoy the company of their new Rabbid friends until suddenly the world is enveloped in darkness, and a mysterious manta ray kidnaps Peach. Following her, the heroes learn that a villain named Cursa wants to use the power of Sparks, a fusion of Lumas and Rabbids, to conquer the galaxy. The action-tactical gameplay returns, removing the grid-based system in favor of a free-roaming one, making engagements far more action-packed than before on this Nintendo Switch exclusive.
