Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope greatly improves upon its predecessor in many ways, like the addition of equipable Sparks, more open environments, and fine-tuned combat. However, something that isn't that much different from the first game is Sparks of Hope's length. This guide will explain to players how long they should expect to take to fully complete the sequel's story and all of its side content. We will also have a list of every main story quest for each major hub area so players know how close they are to wrapping up the narrative.
How Long Does it Take to Beat Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope?
In Game Rant's playthrough of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, we took around 20 hours to get through all the main story missions, beat the final boss, and watch the end credits. This is an example of a playthrough that was mostly linear, avoiding most (if not all) sidequests on the planets.
Of course, players that want to really rush through the game can probably complete it somewhere around the 15-20 hour mark, especially if they play on the easiest difficulty mode. There are five main planets that players will need to get through, as well as a sixth area that we will not spoil. It'll take most people around 3-4 hours to get through each planet, and much more time can be spent if players are wanting to 100% the game by completing all side quests and collecting everything.
Each planet has two main story missions and over 20 side quests to find and complete. There are also 30 Sparks, 5 Planet Keys to buy (and use), 45 Weapon Skins, and 72 Memories to collect. By doing all of this stuff, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope players should plan on spending at least 30-40 hours.
Players should also remember that Ubisoft is planning on launching Rayman-themed DLC to Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, adding even more hours of playtime. If it's anything like the Donkey Kong expansion that was added to Kingdom Battle, expect around 5-10 hours of content.
