Introduction
What if Super Mario not only jumped on their enemies, or in other occasions kick or punch them, but uses a gun to shoot their enemies!? This is what we are going to explore in Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle! This is a tactical strategy game where Mario and his old, and new friends take up arms and shoot the baddies, blow them up! We need more coins for better guns and tools to kill them all!
What did I think before playing Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle?
I was very interested in playing this game, as well as my wife! Mario shooting up his baddies? We do not want to miss that, despite us not being a lover of strategy games! This does not mean that we cannot utilize strategy off course! If we were correct, there would also be Rabbids that would join your team! For more information, we went to the Nintendo Page!
The Nintendo page
https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/mario-plus-rabbids-kingdom-battle-switch/
This page shows a lot of information, there will be four Rabbids that will join in the quest to save the Mushroom Kingdom that has been torn apart by a machine that made these two universes collide! Solve puzzles and battle your foes, finish them! There are multiple chapters and all of them will unlock new abilities, meaning that you will need to backtrack!

I rate Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle with a 9.3 before playing!
Getting to shoot your enemies as Mario or even Peach? Also, this is an official Nintendo game, sign me up, time to get shooting some of those pesky evil Rabbids!
Story
An inventor who is also a fan of Super Mario, is working on a supermerger, this invention would merge any two items together! While the device is not finished yet, when the inventor leaves for a bit, a washing machine that can travel between dimension and time. It is a T.A.R.D.I.S! It arrives with Rabbids who use the super merger but causes the T.A.R.D.I.S washing machine to malfunction, sucking them up and also the Super Mario gang! With the kingdom destroyed, Super Mario and his new Rabbid friends try to find the super merger, which apparently merged to a Rabbid!
T.A.R.D.I.S stands for : time and relative dimensions in space!

I rate the story of Mario Rabbids Battle Kingdom with an 8.3
Well, it is something new for Super Mario, this time you get to shoot corrupted Rabbids instead of saving Peach from Bowser!
Gameplay
The gameplay of Mario Rabbids Battle Kingdom all stems from the main area which is the castle of Princess Peach, from here you can access multiple areas which are split into chapters. The chapters are full of battles, but also a lot of puzzles, for which you need certain abilities! Often you will find coins for new weapons, but you can also find museum pieces or even dioramas!
Once you reach a battle stage, you can use the heroes that you have unlocked so far, you start with Mario and two of the rabbid heroes! As you play through the game you will earn skill points, as each hero as their own special skill and skill tree! This way you can specialize every character how you want and build your own destructive team. And when you have godly weapons, you can come back to chapter one and utterly destroy the enemies, scoring perfect battles for trophies!
While battling, everyone takes their turn which usually consists of moving, if possible dashing through an enemy for extra damage, and shooting your weapon or using a special skill! Mario, for example, can use the special skill hero sight, when an enemy moves, it will get a bullet in his rear! Mario can also use a hammer to smash enemies to pieces! While Rabbid Mario uses a shotgun! This game is sounding way too violent for a Super Mario game to be honest.

I rate the violent gameplay of Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle with a 9.9
This game is amazing, especially for people that love strategies and tactics! There are even ultra and ultimate challenges, we completed them all perfectly!
Sound and Graphics
Graphics
The graphics of Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle is very good, you might want to ask Rabbid Peach, she keeps making selfies, I bet she has a lot of the graphics on her phone. There are many areas where different enemies will want to fight you, including chain chomps! Woof Woof! The ultimate challenges feel like a cyber world of being punished for completing the game, those challenges are a pain! Chain chomps are also used for guns!
Sound
The music is insanely good, better than you would expect of a Super Mario game, including the sound effects. However, the best music is the parody of Phantom of the Opera, where Mario becomes the main target of the villainous Phantom of the Bwaphera! You really need to look up that song on YouTube!

I rate the sound and graphics of Mario Rabbids Battle Kingdom with a 10!
You think that is a real moustache Mario!?
What did I think after playing Mario Rabbids Battle Kingdom?
At least Waluigi appears in some form in this game, as in, a Rabbid Waluigi! He is even a mid-boss in the last chapter! Do not forget about Rabbid Wario! This game hits the nail on the head with gameplay, balancing of when you can acquire new guns and tools! There are some really cool looking weapons and a lot of neat skills!
There are a ton of character team combinations and all of them act differently, who would have thought Luigi could sniper Rabbids from far away? It does make sense since he is kind of a scaredy-cat, better get rid of the threat from far away! If you upgrade his ability to move, he can walk almost over the entire battlefield in one turn!

I rate Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle with a 10 after playing.
It not only sounds amazing, Mario shooting his way to victory, it really is amazing!
What are my personal thoughts about Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle?
My wife and I had a lot of fun completing this game, we managed to 100% complete it too! I did not expect those ultimate challenges to be that challenging!
Rating
My personal Rating of Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a 9.2
Welp, I never want to encounter Mario in real life, who knows what he might do, he is by now most likely a serial killer of Goombas and what not!

Mario and Rabbids? 🙂 nice!
Good review! Mario and guns and rabbids for the win.
Only played a bit a Rabbids game, but combination of both with those mechanics seem good
It’s me. Mario!
Great review. I love Mario Odssey, new super mario u deluxe. I want to try this too.
Do you want even more Super Mario game reviews!
best cross-over Ubisoft ever did
Indeed!
I don’t think so it has PC version :/
yea same, looks nice, there are tactics, but game is not for my platform too (pc).
Sounds like its going to attract cheap jokes about crossovers. Something somthing Infinity Wars something something.
Strange crossover
What an amazing looking game. Really looking forward to seeing how this series goes.
We need a bigger gun!
Mario games always had a bit of challenge to them.
I remember when this game’s concept got leaked on 4chan (if I remember correctly), no one could believe it at first…even once it was officially announced, it really felt like a fever dream! No one expected the game to be as good as it was, and I’m glad you got to enjoy it and are looking forward to the sequel!
I wonder how a Luma Rabbid would look in the sequel!
Looks like a lot of fun!
Pew Pew!
Awesome review
You are welcome!
