Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope, the second entry in the series developed by Ubisoft in collaboration with Nintendo, received a free demo that allows players to try out the game originally released last year before purchase.

　　The demo, which is available in all regions on the Nintendo Switch eShop, features the entire prologue of the full game, giving players the chance to explore Beacon Beach and get acquainted with the game's unique mechanics.

　　The first Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope DLC also launches today. Called The Tower of Doooom, the new expansion, available as part of the game's Season Pass, sees Mario and his friends enter a mysterious tower, meet Madame Bwahstrella, hear her plight, and venture out to contain Cursa's minions and free Spawny. This, however, may be harder to do than anticipated, even for those who mastered the game, as the procedurally generated battles and Heroes lineups make the expansion quite challenging.

　　Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope is among the best games released last year on Nintendo Switch. The second entry in the series is a great use of the two IPs, and a game like very few others, as highlighted by Kai in his review.

　　Whether you saved the world together in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle or this is your first test of both the crossover spinoff and a tactical RPG, Sparks of Hope is an ingenious use of both IPs to create something unlike any other RPG out there. Filled with charm, explosions, and the incessant 'Bwahh'ing of Rabbid NPCs, there's a certain charm to this unlikely fusion. The smart changes to how combat plays out and capturing our sense of nostalgia once more make the game one Ubisoft adventure that you don't want to miss.

　　Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope is now available on Nintendo Switch. The free demo and Tower of Doooom DLC are also available right now worldwide.
