In midair over the Ancient Gardens, Beep-0 gains rabbit ears and the outline of two rabbit's teeth on the front. Suddenly, a vortex is formed and sucks Mario and the others in. Meanwhile, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toadette (who is seen among an audience of Toads), Toad, and Princess Peach are inaugurating a new Princess Peach statue.

It also causes the Time Washing Machine to malfunction, sending Beep-0 and the Rabbids to the Mushroom Kingdom. One Rabbid finds said visor and uses it to create Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Mario, and other Rabbids fused with objects. The Rabbids end up with their Time Washing Machine in the laboratory of a Mario fan who is perfecting, along with her robot assistant Beep-0, a visor able to fuse two objects into one, called the SupaMerge. The game also offers paid add-on content with new weapons, challenges, and a story expansion focusing on Donkey Kong.Ī sequel, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, is announced for release in 2022.

A Versus mode was added through an update, enabling players to battle each other locally. The game presents a single-player story mode, which involves the above, and a local co-operative mode with separate stages in which multiple human players can face off against enemy Rabbids. Throughout their journey, the heroes frequently engage in turn-based battles with enemy Rabbids during which they must complete objectives such as defeating a number of enemies or escorting a supporting character to a certain spot. They befriend a robot assistant, Beep-0, who guides them in the overworld and can perform various actions to solve puzzles and find secrets. The game sees Mario and his friends trying to restore order in the Mushroom Kingdom after Rabbids invade and fuse it with their own world using a powerful merging device. It is the first tactics game in the Mario franchise, and also incorporates some role-playing elements. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a turn-based tactical title for the Nintendo Switch and a cross-over between the Mario franchise and Ubisoft's Rabbids series, being the first in the Mario + Rabbids series of games.
