The bright sparks at Ubisoft have done it again. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a shining sequel to K-Zone fave Kingdom Battle. But the Mushroom Kingdom is in the rear-view mirror. Actually, the planet is waaay behind! Coz the battle’s out in space now. And the story is Avengers-level epic. Creepy Cursa is Thanos-ing the galaxy with Darkmess (nope, not a typo). And it’s up to the Mushroom Kingdom mates to shine a light on this mess. Oh, and those rascally Rabbids. Thankfully, Sparks are really ace at making light. Plus, making light work of baddies in epic brawls. The turn-based combat is even better now. Try to start every biff with a slide. It’s free damage! Now hop into cover. Blast at enemies with basic attacks. Or unleash powerful abilities. Teamwork totes makes the dream work here. Plus, Sparks offer even more tight tactical tricks. You’ll need ’em in the epic boss battles.

PRO TIP!

There’s plenty of secret stuff, so shake trees and bust into bushes. There are stacks of coins to uncover (great for healing). Even in the opening section. Plus, there are new Sparks to seek out. Pop open the map. Now chase down those yellow icons. These are Spark missions. More Sparks means more combat combos!
