What is Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle?
{{no sources|date=April 2024}} {{italictitle}} '''''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''''' is a [[Turn-based tactics|turn-based]] game for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It is the first to combine [[Mario]] series and [[Ubisoft]]'s [[Rabbids]] series. It is the first tactics game in the Mario franchise. It incorporates some role-playing elements. The game sees Mario and his friends trying to restore order in the Mushroom Kingdom. The Rabbids invaded and fused it with their own world using a powerful merging device. The player takes control of Beep-0, a [[Robot|robotic]] assistant who guides characters. Beep-0 can perform various actions to solve puzzles and find secrets. Throughout their journey, the heroes frequently engage in turn-based battles with enemy Rabbids. They must complete objectives such as defeating a number of enemies or escorting a supporting character to a certain spot. Each character's abilities in battle can be customized and upgraded via a skill tree. The game has a [[Single-player video game|single-player]] story mode and a local co-operative mode. That has separate stages in which multiple human players can face off against enemy Rabbids. A Versus mode was added through an update, enabling players to battle each other locally. The game also offers paid add-on content with new weapons, challenges, and a story focusing on [[Donkey Kong]]. Ubisoft published the game for most territories (the Americas, EMEA, Oceania, [[Southeast Asia]]) in August 2017. Nintendo published the game for [[Japan]], [[South Korea]], Hong Kong, and [[Taiwan]] in January 2018. Ubisoft later re-published the game digitally for Hong Kong in June 2018. Ubisoft's Chinese partner, Bihan Internet Technology published the game for mainland China in February 2022. A sequel, ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', was released on October 20, 2022 in most countries.
