Mario does not usually do tactics. That is exactly why Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope stops the scroll: the Mushroom Kingdom crew, turn-based battles, and a galactic road trip that plays nothing like a regular Mario game.
You build a team from Mario, Luigi, Peach, and the Rabbids, then plan every fight around position, cover, and timing. It rewards thinking one move ahead, but it never stops feeling like a Mario adventure — bright, funny, and full of personality.
What makes it different
The Sparks are the twist. These little star creatures lend powers you mix into each battle, so the same fight can play out very differently depending on the combination you bring. Add open levels to explore between battles and a story that hops from planet to planet, and you get a strategy game with real variety.
