One of the things that many people admired about Ubisoft when Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope came out was that they did everything they could to make this game stand out from its predecessor and make it feel like a worthy sequel from top to bottom. For example, they took things out of the Mushroom Kingdom and launched Mario and crew into space! They also overhauled the battle system, gave the Rabbids more personality, and more! But another area they overhauled things in was the DLC. As they didn’t simply do one DLC like before, they’re doing three, and the second one is coming soon.
The first DLC was more or less a challenge map set that would test your skills in battle. But Part 2, “The Last Spark Hunter,” will take you to a new world and have you battle all new enemies! As detailed by Nintendo Everything, a synopsis of the content has arrived. Check it out below:
“As they are approaching Cursa’s Stronghold, Mario and his friends detect an intriguing signal from the Melodic Gardens, an enchanting musical planet galaxy-famous for its harmonious biophonies, produced by a beautiful alien-like nature. Suspecting a new Darkmess invasion, the Heroes change their course only to find themselves trapped on a silenced planet.
Explore the Melodic Gardens and investigate to find the origin of the threat looking over this place that was once vibrant with music. Meet the planet’s wild inhabitants, explore the musical jungle and the mysterious ruins scattered around this new biome, and sail through the vast sea and sparkling lakes on your newfound boat. But tread carefully, as new enemies await you on this dangerous path. Golems and Fieldbreakers roam the planet and will provide new tactical challenges, even to the most experienced.
Saving the Melodic Gardens will ask you to face Kanya, the Last Spark Hunter. This highly dangerous and techy villain will stop at nothing to accomplish her nefarious plans. Be aware, stopping her won’t be easy, as she has created an all-powerful never-before-seen weapon: the Mecha King Bob-Omb.”
So it would appear that this DLC happens within the main story before the final boss fight, which would make sense, given how the game ends. Don’t worry. We won’t spoil it.
It will be interesting to see this new world and how Kanya interacts with the characters like Edge.
Plus, don’t forget, there’s one more part of the DLC for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, which involves Rayman! So stay tuned!
