Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope preview promises a playful adventure, and Bowser gets to join in

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope blends tactical gameplay with Super Mario and Raving Rabbids-themed mayhem, and it clearly aims to build on its predecessor, Kingdom Battle. I’ve always been a fan of Mario, but Rabbids on the other hand, have always left me a little frustrated. Yet, Sparks of Hope seems to be the quirky strategy title that might change things.

When I jumped into Kingdom Battle for the first time, I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn’t for Rabbids dressed as Peach to be fighting alongside Mario and applying turn-based tactics during their reclamation of Mushroom Kingdom.

Recently, I was given a small glimpse as to what fans can expect from Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Ultimately, it promises to deliver more of the same puzzling tactics and nonsense story, albeit with even more chaos added to the mix.
