Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope - Nintendo Switch

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is a bold and brilliantly designed tactical RPG developed by Ubisoft Milan and published by Ubisoft exclusively for Nintendo Switch — the spectacular sequel to the surprise hit Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. When the cosmic evil Cursa threatens to consume the universe and captures the Sparks — magical beings born from the fusion of Rabbids and Lumas — Mario, his friends, and their Rabbid counterparts must journey across five stunning planets to rescue the Sparks and defeat Cursa. With a dramatically evolved combat system, open-world planet exploration, and a roster of nine playable heroes, Sparks of Hope is a deeper, more ambitious, and more rewarding experience than its already excellent predecessor.

Evolved Tactical Combat — Free Movement Revolution

Sparks of Hope revolutionizes the tactical combat of Kingdom Battle by replacing the grid-based movement system with free movement within a radius — allowing heroes to reposition dynamically, dash through multiple enemies, and set up creative team synergies with far greater flexibility. The result is a combat system that feels simultaneously more strategic and more action-oriented, rewarding creative thinking and aggressive play in equal measure. Each of the nine heroes has a unique weapon, abilities, and playstyle that encourages diverse team compositions.

Sparks — Customizable Cosmic Powers

The Sparks are the heart of Sparks of Hope's customization system — each Spark grants unique elemental powers and passive bonuses that can be equipped to any hero, enabling deep build customization across the roster. From the fiery Firebrand and the icy Glitter to the gravitational Twinkle and the healing Pulse, collecting and equipping Sparks to complement each hero's strengths is one of the game's most satisfying strategic layers.

Five Open-World Planets to Explore

Sparks of Hope replaces Kingdom Battle's linear world map with five fully explorable open-world planets — each a richly detailed environment with its own ecosystem, inhabitants, side quests, puzzles, and secrets to discover. From the lush forests of Beacon Beach and the ancient ruins of Palette Prime to the eerie swamps of Pristine Peaks and the volcanic depths of Barrendale Mesa, each planet is a joy to explore and rewards thorough adventurers with powerful Sparks, equipment, and story content.

Nine Playable Heroes

Sparks of Hope features nine playable heroes — Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Luigi, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Rosalina, Bowser, and the new hero Edge — each with a completely unique weapon type, skill tree, and set of abilities. Building the perfect three-hero team for each combat encounter is a deeply satisfying strategic puzzle that keeps the gameplay fresh throughout the adventure.
