Mario's team travels to five different planets while gathering enough Purified Darkmess Crystals to safely travel to Cursa's stronghold – Beacon Beach, Pristine Peaks, Palette Prime, Terra Flora, and Barrendale Mesa. The team resolves to find Cursa's stronghold and defeat them, saving as many Sparks and corrupted planets as possible, while also searching for Rosalina, the missing guardian of the Lumas. The ship's A.I., JEANIE, explains that the unique fusion of Rabbid and Luma DNA grants the Sparks unlimited power, and Cursa, whose corruptive influence has spread across the galaxy, wants to absorb that power for itself. A malevolent entity known as Cursa then appears and attempts to destroy Mario, Rabbid Peach, and Beep-0, but the other heroes save them with a spaceship constructed from the Rabbids' Time Washing Machine. Rabbid Peach is accidentally abducted by the manta while attempting to take a selfie Mario and their combat advisor drone Beep-0 free her from the Darkmess dimension inside the manta with the help of the Sparks. The calm is suddenly broken when a horde of Rabbid- Luma hybrids called Sparks descend from the sky, pursued by a gigantic manta ray imbued with Darkmess, a shadowy corruptive substance. Sometime after the events of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, the inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom, including Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach, now peacefully coexist with the Rabbids and their Rabbid counterparts.

And so, it brings this real-time element to the mix'. So, you have a few seconds to react, which is completely different from what we had in the past. You can move around as you want, but then it's going to explode. Lead designer Xavier Manzanares, speaking about the new combat, stated: 'You can move in this area of movement the way you want you can dash a Bob-omb, then you have it in your hand. Mario can now be replaced by a different character. Also featured are enemy encounters outside of turn-based combat. Unlike the first game, level designs are less linear, and the turn-based tactical combat features a new system that disregards the first game's grid-based layout. Players are also tasked with rescuing the Sparks throughout the galaxy, who provide distinct powers that will help the player in battle. Players are able to build out their roster of characters from, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Luigi, and Rabbid Mario, along with new characters Edge, Rabbid Rosalina, and Bowser (with the Rabbids being fully voiced for the first time). Gameplay in Sparks of Hope is largely similar to that of Kingdom Battle. See also: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle § Gameplay
