This is a very fun game and I'm glad I bought it despite it containing Rabbids.

In my experience, honey results in an easy to pick off rabbid and wasted overwatch shots. Bounce just results in a dead rabbid, so it's better.

Yeah big missed opportunity there. Also the fact that you can't play online co-op.

Vamp is a good effect, but it's usually meaningless a lot of the times because enemies die really quickly. Rabbid Luigi's Vamp dash is a good way to heal friends though.

This is why I ultimately went with vamp over stone for anyone that had both options; i found i was just killing baddies anyways rather than leaving any stoned for a turn so at least I got a heal out of it.

Edit: do perfect scores in battle give more orbs or do they just change how many coins you get?

I'm rather partial to Stone and Vampiric as the best effects, with Ink being solid third best (as disabling an enemy's standard attack options is incredibly powerful). While Honey can't activate Overwatches like Bounce can, I find it's effect of disabling movement more useful than potentially adding some extra damage by bouncing/pushing enemies out of bound if I'm lucky and the enemy's positioned right. I personally think Bounce is better than Push, though both kinda do the same thing in the end, are both rather situational effects, and I think the enemy makes better use of them than you do. That said, I find both better in the hands of the player than the Fire and Freeze effects which are both extremely situational and considerably more useful in the hands of the enemy, though I'm unsure which of those is actually the worst status effect in the game.

If I remember right:

Mario: Bounce and Honey
Rabbid Peach: Honey and Push
Rabbid Luigi: Fire, Push, Stone, and Vampiric
Luigi: Ink and Bounce
Rabbid Mario: Stone and Vampiric
Peach: Fire and Freeze
Rabbid Yoshi: Push and Stone
Yoshi: Unsure about his effects

Yoshi gets Freeze and Ink.

Essentially, it's honey, freeze, and ink rolled into one effect. Completely stuns the enemy and prevents them from doing anything for the turn.

I find honey to be useful when combined with overwatch, since it locks a moving opponent into an exposed position for you to take potshots your next turn.

Jesus this world 4 Midboss is the roughest. Only stage in the game I've had to restart 10 times and you have to replay the stage before it every time.

And the absolute worst is when I finally beat it no deaths I took 4 turns and par was 3 :shepicide:

I prefer stone a lot because it means an immediate threat can be ignored for a turn while I focus on something else [another potential threat, boss, or smaller enemy cleanup]

i think beepo is a jerk to draw some of the ire away from the rabbid characters.


Just got Rabbid Mario unlocked and that is the moment the game went from 'good' to 'great'. The first 4 characters play fairly similarly, but he's a total gamechanger, with vamp + explosion effects on everything. To say nothing of the shotgun.

My favourite moment thus far has been Rabbid Mario drawing 4 rabbids in close, then killing all 4 with a single shotgun stone blast crit :allears:

I thought Beepo WAS a rabbid, due to the ears and the buck teeth LED lights in front of it.

He's the AI robot from the intro, merged with a Rabbid. The intro video shows the headset creator with a robot AI and I think he gets sucked into the Rabbid machine along with the headset? I'm not sure why he can talk when the other Rabbid-merged characters can and honestly I don't think there's a reason outside of convenience.

Died on the last turn of the 3-3 escort mission because I forgot one of the rabbids was on Overwatch and Toadette only had 49 hit points left, and she got sniped for 50 :cripes:

That's why I always move the cargo last on those missions, even if it's a simple run to victory. Normally I just farm a few extra coins but occasionally I find something like that I forgot.

:lol: Just had an amazing interaction I didn't even know was possible. I'm doing one of the world 1 challenges, and I used rabbid Mario to attack several of the smasher guys at once. This prompted both to come at me AT THE SAME TIME (which I didn't know was possible) and both of them were on either side of me. They both smashed down at the same time, and bounced not just me, but each other, one of them knocking the other out of bounds and killing him.

There are some times I wish that this game had a replay system cause that was amazing

Haha same thing happened to me, I used the sentinel thing at close range with Luigi to hit two of them, they both slammed me but bounced and killed each other in the process. It ended the battle because they were the last two enemies, but then I discovered Luigi also died and it was my first non-perfect battle. This all happened in like 4 seconds, was not expecting that.

Nothing exciting to see here. Move along.

Zore posted:

So essentially, Rabbid Luigi, Luigi, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Yoshi, and Yoshi won big-time in terms of status effects since they all got one or two of the three greats. Mario and Rabbid Peach also get relatively useful effects. Peach is the big loser here with only Fire and Freeze for her status effects, the two worst ones.

Of course, in Peach's case, she isn't really supposed to be a hyper-offensive character as much as she is supposed to be the one drawing and taking damage from other characters since she has the highest HP in the game, a way to heal for minor damage, and an ability that let's the others transfer some of their damage taken to her. Thus, she also paradoxically cares the least about what her status effects are because you're not using her for those effects anyway.

Y'all, I just found out that you can pause the game on the results screen for a match and select restart.


This has come in handy for situations where you fail the round turn limit for a Perfect and want to try again.

The fact that Nintendo authorized an operatic roast of Mario shows a nice refreshing change of pace in how they're willing to let their characters be portrayed.

Like, in general, this Ubisoft collab is way better than the last time they gave another company the reins. If Phillips did this good with the CD-I games, we'd be in one hell of an alternate universe.

That world 3 boss was A++++++

But man. I lost a perfect on it at the VERY last minute, a pretty wounded rabbid luigi moved, triggering the big dude's overwatch (I had no idea he even activated an overwatch ability), which STONED him leaving him in a really vulnerable spot and I had no way of getting in between them or any ability to do... anything to save him. He one shot rabbid luigi the very next turn and cost me my perfect. :(

I've seen it.
I just had the game crash on a midboss I was one hit away from perfecting, and you need to do a battle immediately before said midboss that you start from the beginning of if you restart the midboss battle.

And for some reason, I'm not even mad.

Also I'm still running Luigi. He's downright terrifying, especially with 3X 1-turn steely stare. If you're having trouble utilizing him, just keep abusing his ridiculous range and give him max team jump movement and high-ground damage skills.

You can do individual chapters, and you also aren't restricted to the characters you had during that world. I went back and perfected the world 2 boss with Luigi for example (he super trivializes it). Did a bunch of world 1 with Rabbid Mario

Has anyone managed to trigger this part of the world 3 boss fight? From what I can tell, it's supposed to trigger upon hitting him without taking out the spotlight, but he's not doing that for me in game.
