“Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle” is different than previous Mario games. This starts with the Setting: Mario’s beloved mushroom Kingdom has been overrun by insane Bunny “Raving Rabbids”. Not only the world was plunged into Chaos, but also the bunnies in whimsical Monster turns. And Mario to clean up.

Instead of taxes, as usual, the plumber, directs the player to a small disc with rabbit ears due to the insane game world. Mario and his Team chase after a boy. His Team? Right. Instead of a figure you control three at once through the tricky puzzles built-up fights. Directly you are not allowed to control his characters in the Fight. Instead, one determines in a planning phase, who runs where, which skills the character uses, and what opponent he should shoot. Everything is done, the opponent is on the train. A kind of chess game with jump attacks, and honey-rocket launcher.
