The game's story revolves around the cast venturing through space and traveling to different planets to rescue the Sparks. The game contains nine playable characters with a team of three allies like its predecessor. Like its predecessor, the game is a crossover featuring characters from the Super Mario franchise and Ubisoft's Rabbids series, and sees the return of characters from the previous game in addition to introducing new ones such as Rabbid versions of Rosalina and Lumas named Sparks. It is the second game in the Mario + Rabbids series, and the sequel to Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

These do not influence editorial content. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hopeis now available exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Until then, fans can look forward to new content dropping in Sparks of Hope over the coming year. There’s high hopes the hero will finally get the justice and recognition he deserves on modern consoles when DLC 3 launches in late 2023. The Rabbids of the game first originated as slapstick enemies in the Rayman franchise, before they went on to gain phenomenal popularity worldwide, and essentially ‘take over’ the Rayman brand. Rayman arriving in the Mario + Rabbids universe also feels like a full circle moment. The base game is already a marvellous journey, and new content will only add to its sense of delight. Regardless of what’s in store, it’s great to see new content arriving for Sparks of Hope. Imagery for these new packs reveal a handful of clues about the future – in Rayman’s teaser, you can spot various ‘displaced’ items including a rubber duck, a toilet plunger, and a yellow paintbrush – but Ubisoft is remaining tight-lipped about the upcoming adventures. As mentioned, this will arrive much later than the other packs, rounding out the Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope journey in the later half of 2023. The final piece of Season Pass content – DLC 3 – will feature Rayman going on a mysterious journey with Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario.
