Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, the 2022 Nintendo Switch exclusive is currently available for $6 on the Nintendo eShop. This represents a 90% reduction from its regular $60 price, making the tactical strategy game substantially cheaper than most first-party Nintendo releases. The deal is available until October 8

The game combines Mario characters with Ubisoft’s Rabbids in an action-adventure tactical RPG that follows Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and their allies as they travel across the galaxy to confront a hostile entity and rescue their Spark companions. Although it is a sequel to Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, the story is sufficiently standalone that newcomers can play without having to complete the earlier game.

The main campaign takes around 20 hours, while additional content can extend the experience to roughly 30–35 hours. The game is playable on Nintendo Switch 2a dedicated Switch 2 version
