What it is

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a colorful tactical role-playing adventure that teams Nintendo's Mario characters with Ubisoft's zany Rabbids to save a galaxy from a corruptive shadow substance called Darkmess. Players build a squad of heroes and fight through turn-based battles across five planets, using cartoon weapons like blasters, hammers, and bombs against enemy Rabbids and brainwashed minions. The combat is bright and slapstick with no blood, injury, or graphic content, and the story centers on rescuing star-like creatures called Sparks. It is a single-player game with no chat, purchases, or online interaction.

How it's framed

The game frames its conflict as lighthearted good-versus-evil: a friendly team works to purify corrupted planets and rescue captured creatures, with combat played for comic effect rather than realism, and villains portrayed as goofy rather than menacing.
