Mario + Rabbids: Rise of the Syndicate

is the third installment in the Mario + Rabbids series. This game follows the events of Spark of Hope and The Last Spark Hunter, where Kanya returns and forms a syndicate of the villains the heroes defeated before.
== Plot ==
=== Main story ===
==== Opening ====
Across the galaxy, a destroyed Mecha King Bob-omb was floating in space sparking with electricity. It seamlessly floats out there until it hits what looks to be like a moon-like planet. As the hatch opens, a familiar Spark Hunter known as Kanya crawls out frustrated and berating Mario and his friends for ruining her plans. As she lets out a yell in frustration, a remaining amount of Darkmess seen on the planet pops out and new creatures resembling black blobs with three orange eyes and cannon arms called Darkmess Soldiers appear as Kanya looks at them before looking back at the Galaxy..
As the soldiers begin to establish a new base for Kanya as they use the resources the planet provided for materials, she had photos of all of the heroes on a single wall, writing down what to do with them before then deciding that “If I’m ever going to get revenge on those heroes and take my place as the queen of this galaxy, I’ll have to pick them out of the picture one by one.”, taking down each of the photos as she says that, leaving only Luigi’s picture hanging in there. Figuring that he’s the weakest link and that when everyone else is removed, no threat would be seen.
Knowing exactly how to do so, she calls upon one of the Darkmess Soldiers and tells it to gather the most evil forces of villians they could find so they can form a syndicate, and to also prepare cages to get ready for the capture of all the heroes and Beep-0 while leaving only one behind. Meanwhile Kanya has to have to partner, but then she realizes Spawny as she comes up with an idea to create a partner.
==== Mushroom Kingdom ====
Back in the mushroom kingdom, a festival is being held there with many delegates from many kingdoms and planets. Mario, his friends, the Rabbids, Beep-0, and even Bowser and his son were all attending the festival. After walking around and talking to the folks in the festival, a sudden cold air breezes through the land. Just then, a drop of black sludge fell down as everyone started at it confusingly until it morphs into a gooey black Darkmess Soldier. Rabbid Peach tries to offer it some of the food from the festival, but it stood there until a big shadow covered everybody. Above them was a giant black, yellow and red airship with a robotic look to it.
Beep-0 asks is it him or does the design of that airship look familair. But then, Kanya comes out of the ship and suprises the heroes. JEANIE remarks that Kanya survived her defeat somehow. Then Kanya repsonds to JEANIE's words as she explained after her defeat, she been floating in space with no hope of rescue or anything. Until she finally discovers the Darkmess in the planet she was asit forms into soldiers and she plans to get revenge and conquer the galaxy, by creating a syndicate. 
She introduces the members of the Syndicate, Bwario and Bwaluig, The Lava Queen, Phantom of the Bwahpra, Sydney Rabbidwhacker, and finally her partner and creation, Rabbid Bowser. Everyone gasps as they knew these people well. Well, expect for Rabbid Bowser who was new here. Kanya then tells everyone that it’s time to take back what should have been hers long ago as she pushes a bottom as cages were launched and imprisons everyone except for Rabbid Mario, Edge, Beep-0 and Luigi who got out of the way. The bars on the cage were too strong the break, and they all had locks on them. 
As some bee-like Darkmess creatures with spiky helmets called Darkmess Drones pick up the cages to haul them into the airship, Kanya then lights up a Big Bob-Omb and lobs it at Edge, claiming it’s a little present for her for betraying the Spark Hunters. Before the bomb could hit her though, Rabbid Mario pushes Edge out of the way of the bomb and he falls down to the canslym, presumely to his death. 
In full up rage, Edge attacks Kanya, but Kanya was too fast for as she defeated and put inside a cage. And then, the members of the Syndicate carry off the heroes to different worlds while Kanya takes off on the airship and leaves some Darkmess Soldiers onto the area to wipe out Luigi.
After defeating the Darkmess Soldiers and with Beep-0 and Luigi as the only ones left, Beep-0 tells Luigi that they have to find the rest of the group and stop the Syndicate from taking over the Galaxy. JEANIE senses two members of the heroes in a fortress somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom. 
Beep-0 suggests that it must be Peach and Rabbid Peach, and even Edge, and says that they must get to the fortress and rescue them at once. Luigi is too afraid to do it alone. Then a voice came of and it out came a Rabbid that dressed like Daisy. Puzzled by the her look, Beep-0 asked who she is. She introduces herself as Rabbid Daisy, and she witnessed the whole situation during Kanya's attack, and wishes to join them on their mission to rescue the others and save the galaxy from Kanya and her Syndicate's rule. Then more Darkmess Soilders arrive, and Luigi starts to get scared again, but Beep-0 assures him that with Rabbid Daisy on his side, he could take them on with her. Once they defeated the foes, JEANIE senses that the fortress is just beyond the path they're on. Beep-0 tells the heroes to move, there's no time to waste, Peach, Rabbid Peach, and Edge need them. 
So they went through the trail, dealing with some Darkmess Soldiers along the way along with some new enemies like the Spikes and old ones like the Hoppers.
They eventually reached the fortress and sees Edge, in anger as she freed herself and fights the soldiers to avenge Rabbid Mario. She then goes to try and break Rabbid Peach and Princess Peach out of the cages, but her attempts were foiled by a Darkmess Mega Soldier armed with a bat and in a security guard outfit, at it tells her “Sorry. Can’t let you free them. Master’s orders…” 
Then Luigi, Edge, and Rabbid Daisy get ready to fight of the Darkmess Mega Soldier to free the two. After defeating the Mega Soldier, they free Peach and Rabbid Peach, and Peach thanks Luigi and Edge for saving them, Beep-0 points out that it's not just him and Edge, but the new member of their team Rabbid Daisy. JEANIE is pleased that the two are saved, but the rest of the heroes are still out their in the galaxy. She suggests that in order to stop the Syndicate, they must rescue the gang and stop the Kanya and Syndicate once and for all. Beep-0 suggests that they take the ship to Beacon Beach, sensing that Darkmess has returned there. They fly off into space toward Beacon Beach
====Beacon Beach ====
Upon reaching Beacon Beach, they see some explosions being shot up accompanied by some screaming. After rushing over in a panic to see what it was, they heroes see that a bunch of familiar bombs with feet called Bob-Ombs were terrorizing the town as more of them were constantly being parachuted all over the beach.
They eventually find Augie and try to ask what’s happening, to which he explained that those things kept showing up ever since the Darkmess came back and infested the town, even covering the citizens and creatures to cause them to act wild and crazy. Beep-0 assures him with Luigi, Peach, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Daisy here, they'll save the day and clear the Beacon Beach of Darkmess once again.
After saving some of the townsfolk from the Bob-ombs and clearing out the Darkmess from the town, the group starts to notice an airship similar to the one Kanya had, but it was wrapped in purple and yellow streamers. They also noticed that the Bob-ombs seem to be parachuting from it as some Darkmess creatures can be seen throwing them down as Beep-0 figures that must be where the raining of Bob-ombs must be coming from, and a member of the syndicate must be vacating there. 
Though he wonders how they are going to get up there. And after reaching the location of where this airship is, they noticed a Darkmess covered sandcastle with a Darkmess tentacle holding a Junior Clown Car in its grasp and won’t let go of it.
Beep-0 knew who owned that flying machine and figures that if the clown car is here, then Bowser Jr. might also be here trapped somewhere inside that sandcastle, figuring if they can get him out, he can fly them to the purple and yellow airship.
As they got into the Darkmess infested sandcastle, solve some puzzles and reach the center of the sand castle, they see a pool of Darkmess. Inside the pool, Bowser Jr was stuck inside it like a fly on fly paper. But as they go to pull him out, a Darkmess version of Augie pops out of the pool and holds Bowser Jr captive.
After beating the Darkmess Augie, the heroes rescued Bowser Jr. and got out of the sandcastle as it collapse, releasing the Koopa prince’s Junior clown car in the process. With the clown car free and after Bowser Jr thanks the heroes for saving him and how he has to find his dad, he agrees to tagging along with the group so they can look for Bowser together and kick Kanya’s butt too.
As they reached the airship via flying in Bowser Jr’s Junior clown car, they see a message from Kanya, saying they may have rescued the team so far but they won’t be able to get to her base. Beep-0 says that theyed stopped her once and they’ll do it again. Kanya laughs at this however, saying that they won’t even succeed this this and then tells Bwario and Bwaluigi to destroy them as the message ends before the mentioned duo appears and release several Bob-ombs that surround the heroes. But before they go off, a Princess saves them and they jump off the ship straight towards the beach.
Beep-0 recognizes the princess to be Princess Daisy. JEANIE thanked Daisy for saving them, but they had to continue on forward to save the rest of their allies so they can stop the Syndicate. Beep-0 offers Daisy to join them, so that the more help they can get, the better chances they will have of beating Kanya. 
After Daisy accepts, the heroes can see Bwario and Bwaluigi jump off of the airship and land on top of the lighthouse, intending to destroy the group. But they are prepared to face them and defeated them. Bwario and Bwaluigi has retreated to their air to other galaxies swearing they'll get even. Augie appears to congratulate them for saving Beacon Beach. Beep-0 says that they love to stay and relax, but they have to save the others. They say their goodbyes and get on the WM ARC and flies to the next destination.
====Pristine Peaks====
Reaching Pristine Peaks, the heroes see that the snow is melted and it's hot. Beep-0 sees this change of temperature as not normal as Pristine Peaks is suppose to be a snowy planet, even noticing how some Snow Pokeys living here are starting to sweat and melt due to the intense heat.
As they go through the scorching area, they are then ambushed by some fire enemies like Draglets, Flamin' Stooges, and Scorchits who seem to be the root of this snow melting. Who sent them to do them remains unknown to them for now, but the heroes must defeat these fiery enemies. Beep-0 states that those creatures somehow connected to what happened to Pristine Peaks. 
They tried talking to the inhabitants, but the story's the same for each person they talked to. All of them tell the group that some Rabbid in gold armor and purple hair had been sighted around this place while carrying a cage containing Mario inside while sending fire monsters to melt down the snowy planet. This gets Luigi worried as he knows who the people were talking about, The Lava Queen. Beep-0 surprised by this, tells the others that they have to get to that place where she is and take her out and return the weather of Pristine Peaks back to normal.
During the quest to track down this Lava Queen, Luigi soon notices a familiar face. Baron Brrr, who Beep-0 and the others didn't know about until Luigi explained how Mario fought him during that Galaxy adventure he had. The icy king however seems to be in panic mode right now. When asked what's wrong, Baron Brr explained that he had been kicked out of his home, the Frostmore Chapel, by the Lava Queen who had putted up a group of three barriers around the building to shield it and has scattered the keys to unlock them across the melting land, saying something about wanting her “wedding” to be uninterrupted. From the heroes and Beep-0's reaction, that can tell that it was a forced thing and that it would not end well, considering the Lava Queen is a member of the syndicate. Rabbid Peach feels angry hearing this and marches forward calming if anyone going to marry Mario, it's going to be her. Beep-0 is annoyed of how Rabbid Peach's crush on Mario is the only reason of rescuing Mario, but insists they should find the 3 keys and stop the wedding.
The first key was in the hands of some Penguins. When Beep-0 requested them to hand over the key, the penguins just gleefully teases him with the key and that the only way they can have it is if they can get the Penguin who had is before proceeding to shuffle the key to one another and hide in the deep snow. And after finding the one with the key 3 times, the penguins surrender it and thanks them for the fun they had.
The second key was deep in a icy cavern inside a cage guarded by many Darkmess Soldiers. Once they are taken care of, the group would need to solve the puzzle of how to open the cage by pushing the 4 release buttons in the right order.
The final key is held in the mountain, held by Fire and Ice Darkmess Soldiers. And they have to fight them to get to the last key. 
After getting all three keys, the heroes insert them and disable the barrier with Rabbid Peach charging straight for the Frostmore Chapel, only to get blocked by a snowy golem. Beep-0's eyes started to shrink in suprise as he didn't know the Icicle Golem was here and thought they beaten it way back at the Sherbert Desert. 
But something is wrong with the Icicle Golem as it seems to be under the influence of the Darkmess Eyes stuck on his back, yelling at the group to “Go away!”. JEANIE says that they have to fight it in order to get through, so the heroes got ready to battle the golem.
After beating the returning Icicle Golem, his body starts to melt, leaving the golem once again as just a head as the heroes past him and enter the chapel.
Inside, it was decorated very nicely with fire flowers, torches, bells, and ribbons. Many fire creatures were seen walking to the alter with presents and gifts, with some Darkmess Soldiers forcing some of the snow creatures, Rabbids and even Captain Orion and Rabbid Rosalina who had been restrained with chains to walk there too to witness the upcoming wedding before then closing the alter doors, locking them tight. The heroes who have arrived tried to open the door, but it won't budge. 
Luigi is now afraid that Mario is being forced to marry the Lava Queen. JEANIE assures him that they will stop that wedding, just like how Mario did when Bowser tried to force Peach to marry him. Beep-0 plans that once they charge through the door, they'll take on the Lava Queen, and save Mario from that forced wedding. JEANIE points out they also have to save Captain Orion and Rabbid Rosalina.
But before they could, several Scorchits along with a returning enemy known as the Supporters come running down the melted stairs and attempt the stop them. But the heroes manage to beat them quickly before the group worked together to look for something hard they can use to bust down the doors.
After they burst through the door, they managed to stop the wedding in time with Rabbid Peach even proclaiming “I object!”. But this only made The Lava Queen angry as she jumps away, create an arena of lava around her and the heroes and begins to fire on the heroes from a pillar of lava cake. Beep-0 notices that she's not happy with them for ruining her "wedding", and it's time that the heroes fight off the Lava Queen and save Mario and Rabbid Rosalina, and return Pristine Peaks to its normal state.
Finally defeating the Lava Queen, the Rabbids, Captain Orion and Rabbid Rosalina are out of their chains and Mario is finally relieved that he doesn't have to marry the Lava Queen. With a little help from Baron Brr, everyone kicked the Lava Queen out of the chapel and sent her flying. The icy king was grateful for what the heroes did as were Captain Orion and Rabbid Rosalina.
All was left was to restore Pristine Peaks to its original snowy state, which Baron Brr took care of. With the place restored, Beep-0 tells them to be on guard in case the Syndicate would come back. After Mario and Luigi hugged eachother and we’re glad to be back, the heroes set forth on the WM ARC and fly off to the next planet, Palette Prime.
====Palette Prime====
As they arrive in Palette Prime, they'd noticed that it turned into a Western town. The residents here were wearing what looks like old western clothes and there appears to be a lot of cacti around the place. 
When they walked around the town and noticed how old timey it all feels, they get a glimpse at a calander hanging by the jail building with the date “1855”, which shocks everyone. Based on the data that JEANIE could gather from this, she suggested that this planet might have been altered to go back in time to ye old western days. 
While the others feel excited to explore a western town, Beep-0 has his doubts, saying that Palette Prime didn't used to be like this and questions who would do such a thing. Then a a robot appears and it shows Sydney Rabbidwhacker.
”G'day partners. Names Sydney Rabbidwhacker. And Kanya has given me orders to blast the planet into the past. And boy did the result satisfy me, thanks to my Time Matrix. And look at who I got in my Jail..” says the cowboy Rabbid as the robot then shows both Yoshi and Rabbid Luigi who were strangely in western duds are were stuck inside the jail cell where a sheriff Conkdor is watching them.
The cowboy Rabbid then said ”You want these two back? Then try to stop my Time Matrix! If you can find the hidden little thing that is. Then I might just mosey on in this town and might have a showdown with you folks. Till then, tough luck mates!”
The robot then leaves as Beep-0 and the others headed for the jail and see Yoshi and Rabbid Luigi, promising them that they're going to get them out of there, as soon as they destroy the Time Matrix and beat Sydney Rabbidwacker.
But looking for the Time Matrix's location was easier said than done, like finding a needle in a haystack. So the heroes might have to ask the locals to get clues to where this supposive device of Sydney really is.
After asking the townsfolk, they were told to find a guy called Woodrow, the warden they'd meet before, something about him being near the mineshafts of this place and only he can guide them to the location of the Time Matrix. Beep-0 accepts, though he could have uses his powers to find the Time Matrix in a flash, but there's no harm in having Woodrow help.
As they head down to the mines, a big rumble was heard. Everyone looked around and started noticing some spiky yellow balls with orange thorns come rolling down the path, forcing everyone to run for cover. But Beep-0 can't seem to outrun the spiky ball and gets knocked to the sides and into the ground dizzily. 
After being asked to do a quick scan to see where these giant spike balls are coming from, JEANIE can detect the presence of a giant yellow cactus with a pink flower on its head tossing its segments down the road, confirming the creature to be a Mega Pokey, which is a large version of a regular Pokey. 
The Mega Pokey wasn't the only thing to worry about, as there are goopy mole like creatures called Darkmess Diggers and Bravados along the same trail which could prove to give the heroes troube. After beating them and then beating the Mega Pokey in a boss fight, they continue onward down the path and venture through the mines to locate Woodrow. Once they found him and ask him about where they could find the Time Matrix, Woodrow responded by pointing to where the Time Matrix is at, which is at the top of Town Hall. 
As they make there way to the town hall and battled their way to the top, JEANIE senses something guarding the Time Matrix machine. Edge decides to go up top the building and destroy the machine, but is pushed back by a Darkmess Golem, that guards the machine. JEANIE says that she told them so, Beep-0 says she's right, but it doesn't matter now, they have to take down the golem before they can get to the machine.
After defeating the golem, they managed to get to the machine, but then Sydney Rabbidwhacker arrived with the caged up Yoshi and Rabbid Luigi with him. He says that he's impressed that they made it so far, but this is where their quest ends. Beep-0 insists that Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario has beaten him once, and the heroes will beat him again. The group gets ready to battle the member of the Syndicate.
Finally defeating Sydney, they managed to turn off the Time Matrix machine returning Palette Prime back to it's normal state, and releashed Yoshi and Rabbid Luigi from their cages. Beep-0 then sees that Sydney Rabbidwhacker has gotten away, probably retreating to Kanya's hideout. Edge, still angry about Kanya killing Rabbid Mario, still plans on avenging him. JEANIE tells her that we don't know where her hideout is.
But perhaps with the right coordinates, they could locate it. The coordinates were in three-parts including a x axis, a y axis, and a z axis. And she suspects that the last three planets must have the pieces of the coordinates, making it an additional objective on top of finding the rest of the heroes. 
Beep-0 then gets a message from none other than Rabbid Yoshi. He said that he managed to slip out of his cage and informs everyone that he’s somewhere in the planet of Terra Flora, although it’s vegetation has grown out of control and many of Kanya’s forces are looking for him. Beep-0 is now frighten and worried about Rabbid Yoshi, says they must get to Terra Flora fast. And then they get on the ship and then fly off to Terra Flora.
==== Terra Flora====
As the ship tries to land on Terra Flora, it is suddenly seized by some thorny vines which warranted a rough landing with the heroes landing on a bubbly puddle and Beep-0 getting tangled in a vine bush with Piranha Plants. Beep-0 yells for help. Rabbid Peach launced a rocket at the Piranha Plants and it lets go of Beep-0. 
Beep-0 is relieved that he is free, but questions how come Piranha Plants appeared in Terra Flora, since it never grew here before. JEANIE suggests a explanation that one of the members of the Syndicate is behind this. 
As the group tries to head further, more Piranha Plants started to lower themselves down and snatch the heroes and begin to toss them around like an acrobatic act in a circus.
After a few rounds of being tossed in the air, Edge gets annoyed and slices the Piranha Plants to make them drop everybody, but this angers the other Piranha Plants. Beep-0 panics and tells everyone to brace themselves. 
Following a battle against the Piranha Plants, including some Trottin' Piranha Plants, they attempt to maneuver their way through the overgrown landscape and avoid some vicious flora like buds that would teleport anything it eats to another bus that's the same color as it, fire breathing daffodils, plants that ambush their prey from the ground, and violets that create fogs from their pollen.
At one point they had to rail slide on some vines to reach the lower areas of this plant world. Once in the lower levels of the continuously growing botanic, the gang runs into Toadette who had come to the planet in search of some nice flowers to show to Toad.
Beep-0 questions what would Toadette want with some flowers? To which she replied that they would make for a nice pleasant gift for him. She soon catches sight of what appears to be a yellow petaled plant with its center being red with white spots. Thinking that is a flower, Toadette goes to try and pick it. JEANIE however informs the group that the big flower looks very suspicious and that perhaps they should be concerned and cautious around it.
JEANIE was right to be cautious as the big flower was actually Petey Piranha, who was looking rather hungry and tried to snap at Toadette until the heroes pushed her out of the way. That's when Petey looks at the heroes for a moment before then deciding to eat them instead as the heroes got ready to battle Petey Piranha.
After they defeated Petey Piranha, they got Toadette the flowers they'd gathered and handed them to her. She thanked the heroes as she heads off to find Toad so she can hand the flowers to him.
It's not long before the heroes then entered the location where the Wiggler Express was along with the giant tree, but there appears to be a large amount of Darkmess covering both of these sites which seems to be spewing out Piranha Plant seeds into the ground. Bea, the Rabbid/bee hybrid seemed very concerned that the Darkmess has taken over her tree. Judging by this, JEANIE could detect that this must be where the source of the problem must be coming from. "And if my sensors are right, another member of the Syndicate must be occupying that area." says JEANIE. Beep-0 says they must put a stop to it and pronto.
So the heroes rush inside the tree, taking out more minions of Kanya’s forces and solving more dungeon puzzles.
After a while, they get to the tree's hive and encounter Bwario, Bwaluigi, and the Lava Queen once again, who held Rabbid Yoshi in a cage, revealing to have recapturing him. Beep-0 tells him not to panic, the others are here to save him. And then they start the battle against Bwario, Bwaluigi, and the Lava Queen once again.
After sending the nasty trio blasting off again, the heroes manage to save Terra Flora, rid of the planet of the Piranha Plant infestation and free Rabbid Yoshi. They also found a chest that the three villanous Rabbids dropped when they were defeated, and it contained the first part of the coordinates. One coordinate down, two to go. When Bowser Jr. questions JEANIE if she knows where he dad is since he's still on the search for him, the robotic helper replied that she is picking up a signal from the planet Barrendale Mesa. Eager to hear this, Bowser Jr. tells everyone that they must head to that planet now, that way they can find Bowser with Beep-0 agreeing as he is also detecting that another piece of the coordinates needed to find Kanya’s base is located there.
After the heroes got the WM ARC untangled from the vines holding it hostage, they headed out to Barrendale Mesa to try and find Bowser.
==== Barrendale Mesa====
Finally arriving, the heroes land on the planet of Barrendale Mesa. Hoping to locate Bowser within this planet, the heroes began to search. Bowser Jr. started to call for his dad's name before seemlessly wandering off, causing everyone else to panic and follow after him. But as they do so, walls of rock and magma start to rise up, separating the heroes into seperate groups as a giant maze begins to form around the surface as a hooded figure watches from the distance.
Beep-0, who was grouped with Mario, Rabbid Rosalina and Yoshi, seems to panic at the sight of this sudden maze popping out and wonders if everyone is okay. The heroes responded by saying that they were fine, relieving Beep-0. JEANIE then initiates a scan of this maze and detects that the exit must be at the center and requests that everyone must meet up there so they can escape the labyrinth.
With the group up and separated heroes agreeing, they set off to look for the maze's center. Little did they know, that this particular maze has a few tricks up its sleeves, or rather a mischievous streak.
The first group consisting of Daisy, Rabbid Peach and Luigi began their trek through the maze with Rabbid Peach being disgusted by how dirty the walls of this maze were. Luigi is just shaking in his boots worryingly as he walking through the maze with the two companions he got grouped with as Daisy tries to assure him that they'll make it out of the maze as soon as they meet up with the other heroes and Beep-0. 
As they went deeper into the maze, battling enemies and solving puzzles, the trio noticed a bright glow coming from the left side of the maze. Drawn towards it they entered it, unaware that it might be a trap. What lied on the other side of the light was an area stylized like a garden and brighten by fireflies.
Daisy seems to like this garden as it reminded her of the flowers in her kingdom and wants Luigi to take the time to sit down and admire the garden, despite the plumber feeling uneasy. Rabbid Peach also seems to take an interest in this garden as she takes pictures of it with her phone while the others looked around. But as Rabbid Peach was busy taking pictures of this garden, Darkmess Soldiers started to appear in the garden. The group quickly fended them off right until a shadowed figure appears behind them and as quick as lightning, it throws them into a giant sack with Rabbid Peach quickly getting a photo of it before her phone spin drops to the ground with a picture of the figure tying the sack and the garden seamlessly gone, hinting that the garden wasn't really there in the first place.
The other group consisting of Peach, Rabbid Daisy, and Rabbid Yoshi went through their respective path in the maze, hopefully to reunite with the others, though Rabbid Yoshi seems to be a bit on the hyperactive side as he runs circles around both Rabbid Daisy and Peach. As they walked down the maze to navigate around it, they soon noticed a shadow passing by one of the maze's hallways. 
Thinking it might be one of their friends, the trio halted their navigation and ram after the speeding shadow. But when they get to the area where the shadow went, all they saw was what appears to be cardboard replicas of some Rabbids. Rabbid Yoshi, being the not so brightest of the trio rushes in and goes to greet these props as the other two heroes could only sigh at Rabbid Yoshi's stupidity. While Rabbid Yoshi was messing with the cardboard Rabbids, the same shadow snatched up Rabbid Daisy and Rabbid Peach. As soon as Rabbid Yoshi turned around and noticed his two companions were missing, he suddenly felt the tail of his costume getting pulled. When he goes to see who was tugging it, he screamed as he gets snatched as well.
The last group consisting of Edge and Rabbid Luigi goes forward to the path until they'd found Bowser Jr. He insists that he can do it alone, but Rabbid Luigi says that they have to work together if they want to get out of the maze and to Rabbid Bowser's castle. However, Bowser Jr then tells them that this is something personal that he has to do on his own as he worried about his father and didn't want anything to happen to him. Edge responded that Rabbid Luigi had a point that this isn't a game, adding on that the maze seems dangerous and they don't know what kind of tricks the labyrinth has. But Bowser Jr. still felt that Bowser had to be here and that he wants to prove that he can be independent. Just then, he saw what looked like Bowser from the distance. Believing that his father was really there, Bowser Jr. rushed over to him as Edge and Rabbid Luigi followed him in a panic as they all went around the corner as a flash sound was then heard before everything went silent.
Back with Beep-0, Rabbid Rosalina, Mario and Yoshi, the four battled their way through the maze and finally reach the center. But when looking around, they noticed that none of the others are here. "There's something strange definitely going on here..” Beep-0 says after he wonders where everyone went and begins to get suspicious.
Then the hooded figure appears in front of Beep-0. Beep-0 is surprised and asks who is he, but the figured answered he'll know soon enough as they go through the maze. The hooded figure reveals himself to be Rabbid Mario, who survived the fall. Beep-0 thrilled to see that Rabbid Mario is alive, but his shocked that Midnite, Bedrock, and Daphne are with him, thinking that they must have come back for revenge. But before anyone could fire, Rabbid Mario stops them and tells them that they're not into doing evil anymore which Beep-0 had a hard time believing since during his time at the Space Opera Network, The Phantom said the same thing and that turned out to be a lie from him. Rabbid Mario says that it's different, they'd saved from death and he's been leading them to battle against Kanya and her Syndicate army. After the other three ex-Spark Hunters confirm his story to be true, Beep-0 begins to warm up to him, but is still worried about where the others might be. Rabbid Mario says he saw where the others are, and tells them to follow him the ex-Spark Huntes.
Rabbid Mario had a sneaking feeling about where they might have ended up as he told them he had been watching them go through the maze and noticed how everytime they were lured into a dead end, they get captured by a strange shadow and whatever environment the dead end looked like vanished. Beep-0 wondered what he meant when suddenly, a shadow started to overcome the hovering robot. A familiar shadow which resembled Cursa, causing Beep-0 to panic! But Rabbid Mario and the other Spark Hunters try to tell Beep-0 that the shadow wasn't Cursa at all, but the robot was too paralyzed to even take second thoughts. 
To prove the suspicions, Rabbid Mario uses his Dukes to punch away the Cursa shadow to reveal a Rabbid who resembled a Collector, but it had a blue coned hat with pink spots and wore a blue cape around its body and was carrying a wriggling sack with voices calling for help, the same sack that all of the other heroes were thrown into.
That Cursa shadow was nothing more than an illusion created by this tricky Rabbid working for Rabbid Bowser, the Illusionair. This Rabbid snicked and he blew a raspberry at the group and taunted them with the sack full of his captives. Beep-0 is now in a panic, wonder what they should do. The solution that Rabbid Mario suggests? Fight it! Everyone just agreed to this as Beep-0 gave off a sign and said "I have a bad feeling about this” as they and the ex-Spark Hunters battle the Illusionair to free their friends from his sack.
After fighting through the illusions, the group manages to defeat the Illusionair and free the rest of their comrades, everyone, especially Edge, is happy to see that Rabbid Mario is alive, but they weren't happy to see Midnite, Bedrock, or Daphne, especially Edge. But after Rabbid Mario and the rest helped to explain things to them, Edge at first felt hesitant to accept their redemption, but eventually she too started to accept them. Now that everyone was back together, they looked around for an exit. Luckily, the ex-Spark Hunters and Rabbid Mario managed to help them out by using their weapons and powers to destroy the maze, revealing the way to Rabbid Bowser's castle. And they head to the castle entrance as Beep-0 says to be on guard for traps and there's no telling what trucks Rabbid Bowser had up his sleeve.
Inside the castle, the heroes had to solve a few puzzles including one that quizzed them on what they saw in this world and battle some hot and spicy foes like the Gargantuar Blarrgs, Lava Bubbles, Lil' Scorchers and even some Fieldbreakers. As they go throw the hall, they saw a bunch of paintings showing the history of Rabbid Bowser and how he was created by their friend, Spawny, who was forced to do it by Kanya. This made Beep-0 go into a panic again, but this time it sounded more concerning. JEANIE could intel that Kanya might have known about their friend Spawny and kidnapped the little Rabbid to make her general, seeming sad that Spawny had fell into the wrong hands. "Well it's not the first time this happened, I'll give it that.”, Rabbid Luigi replied. The heroes then looked at Bowser Jr., as he once used Spawny for his evil purposes before until he realized his mistake.
Now made it to the throne room, they see Rabbid Bowser, as he sits on his throne with the caged up Bowser and Moma. Rabbid Bowser tells the heroes, "Gah, I'm surprised you heroes got that far. I thought my lackey would have had you joining the fate of that lame imitation of myself for a minute there.”, which Bowser took a real offense to. Bowser Jr. approaches Rabbid Bowser and demands that he releases his father, to which the bulky Rabbid laughs at him, claiming how much of a toddler he was for wanting his father back before kicking him aside as he begins to attack the heroes. But before he can, the real Bowser then breaks free from his cage an joins the fight, saying that there can only be one Bowser in this galaxy.
With the defeat of Rabbid Bowser, Momma was free and she thanked the heroes for saving Barrendale Mesa. And JEANIE says she contained the second part of the coordinates. Beep-0 points out that the final part of the coordinates to Kanya's stronghold must be in the Melodic Gardens. According to her data, JEANIE detects a presence within the planet that is not from this main galaxy, as if he's from another world. Beep-0 knows who JEANIE was describing, and was counting that this familiar pal would accompany them on their quest to stop Kanya.
====Melodic Gardens====
Finally arriving at the final planet, they hope to find Allegra, but is nowhere to be found. As they looked around, a single Boo starts to sneak up on the heroes and spooks them, sending Luigi into a scared panic. Beep-0 asks what's going on, they're aren't supposed to be Boos in the Melodic Gardens. Among other things, the music playing in the gardens sounded way off than what it usually plays, hurting the group's ears, except for Rabbid Yoshi who seems to like it.
"If the Melodic Gardens sound this bad when it's usually not, then this may be the work of the last member of the Syndicate.", says JEANIE. Since it's been a while since the names of the syndicate members were heard, Beep-0 can't seem to remember who the last member was, but regardless he urged the heroes to go deeper into the planet and hopefully look for clues to what's happening.
After going deeper into the Melodic Gardens, Beep-0 and the others start to notice some posters advertising for the Operatic Theater which gets Beep-0 suspicious as that name reminds him of a certain Rabbid, but can't recall the name. Regardless, the heroes set out to investigate as soon as the reaches the theater. Right out of the gate, they noticed the shadow of a creature capturing a Rabbid carrying off as the poor hare cried for help.
As they followed the stranger carrying the Rabbid, as they fought it, and it turned out to be Rayman. Beep-0, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Mario were shocked to see Rayman kidnapping a Rabbid. Beep-0 tries to question Rayman what's going on. However, Rayman only responded with a simple "Who are you guys?"
Gasping, Beep-0 tries desperately to ask Rayman if he remembers them, but the dude just said no. All he can recall was that he was told that they were a threat and that he was a superstar of the Operatic Theater, baffling everyone. When Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach try to jog his memory to get him to recall the time they had together back at the Space Opera Network, they got pushed aside as three Boos appear, being relieved that Rayman hadn't got far as the amnesiac Rayman commands them to deal with the heroes while he takes the Rabbid back to the Operatic Theater, stating that he must get ready for the show taking place there as the Boos obeyed him, addressing him as their "Master", and went to attack the heroes.
After the heroes deal with the ghosts, they seem to have lost track of the limbless dude. Beep-0 worries that something must have happened to Rayman, thinking that he might have forgotten about him which drives him to find the limbless hero even more to get him to remember who he is. Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario are likely also upset that Rayman had acted like he didn't even know them and thought he must have forgotten them. Peach, being the kind princess she is, goes and comforts the two Rabbids, saying that they'll find this Rayman and get him to remember them with Beep-0 adding "I'm sure it's just a phase he's going through, he'll remember us sooner or later..".
Meanwhile in the particular Operatic Theater where a lot of Darkmess is seen covering the building, a space play was going on as two Rabbids and a Spindrift were forcefully tossed onto the stage with a crowd of Darkmess creatures jeering at them with a familiar figure overseeing the play. The two Rabbids and Spindrifts looked around and wondered what was going on until Rayman drops down in a space suit and begins attacking them, making the Darkmess creatures laugh. 
After a few minutes of that, the creatures clapped and applaud with the figure telling the Boos to carry the two Rabbids and the Spindrift back to the dungeon as the curtains closed. As the figure heads down the halls and escorts Rayman back to his room, it is soon revealed that this figure was The Phantom, the final member of Kanya's syndicate. 
As the Boos, Peek-A-Boos and Eeries attend to cleaning and touching up Rayman's looks, The Phantom begins to praise Rayman on his performance on the recent show, and that the crowd liked it so much, that they wanted to see more of it. This seems to peek the interest of Rayman for some reason as the Phantom tells him to keep up the good work as the ghost Rabbid leaves the room, thinking to himself, "It's only good if he keeps buying into my stories. With him having no recollection of who he used to be, sweet talking him is easier than taking Mushrooms from a pint sized Mario..", the Phantom tells himself as he sings a song about it.
Back with the heroes, as they venture forth, Allegra appears from the trees. Allegra seemed very worried, sensing that something must have happened here and questions why the planet was teeming with ghosts and other unruly spirits, not to mention that she hadn't seen her people around here despite scouting the place for hours. Beep-0 explained to her that Kanya's syndicate is somehow causing this. Upon hearing the name "Kanya", Allegra started having flashbacks of what that cruel little Rabbid did to her planet the last time and urges to the group that they have to go stop her. 
"I'm afraid that's out of our league right now. We don't know where her lair is, and we still need the last piece of the coordinates so we can pinpoint it's location." said JEANIE. Allegra however, has heard of such coordinate piece, but will only agree to show them its location if they could help rid the planet of the ghosts and restore rhe music of the Melodic Gardens. Upon asking where they might find the source of this disturbance, Allegra did note that hours ago, she saw that a giant theater was build on the planet's surface, which seemed to be all wrapped up in masses of Darkmess.
Beep-0 concluded that it's the ghost that they know, and they must go to the theater and see what they can do, Allegra thanks them and that she's going to continue scouting the planet while they go into the theater and stop the ghosts. Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach also hoped to get Rayman on their side too, worrying that he might be in danger due to the syndicate.
After battling some Darkmess enemies and solving some puzzles, the group eventually reach the Operatic Theater, Darkmess infested and all. On the building's rooftop, the group saw Rayman once again as he was casually filing his fingers as Beep-0 tries to get his attention and ask why he's doing this, knowing that he would never do something like kidnap a Rabbid. Rayman didn't respond much aside from a comment about how his mentor is going to squish them since they're standing in the way of the syndicate's goal to control the Galaxy. 
"Wake up Rayman! This isn't like you at all!" Beep-0 then said to him. Rayman scoffed and then tells the group that as much as he would like to keep bantering, he has a show to attend to, and is not going to let them scratch his "glorious face". As soon as he snaps his fingers, a scorpion-like Darkmess creature known as the Darkmess Backstager is soon summoned as Rayman turns away and goes back inside the theater and then saying to it, "Crush them all!".
After dealing with the Darkmess Backstager, the heroes lost sight of Rayman again, but this time Beep-0 knows that he's gone inside the theater. Knowing that they have to stop the last syndicate member and save Rayman at the same time, the group then venture forth and battled their way through the place while also solving its puzzles.
Back in the theater within its backstage, The Phantom is seen hauling piles of coins and dumps it into the room as he calls in Rayman, saying that he brought in more money for him as Rayman comes out of the dressing room and is happy to see all of that cash, practically embracing it and thanking him. When the Phantom asked the limbless guy about how things are going, Rayman would tell the ghostly Rabbid that the people that the figure warned him about are here. The Phantom, hearing this news, get a smirk on his face. Knowing that it's the heroes, and that he knows how to wring them in.
Back to the heroes who made it to the theater stage, the heroes got ready to confront the final member as they see his shadow silhouetted on the stage. But when they go to tackle it, it's revealed that it was nothing more than a cardboard standee as it falls down and a familiar laugh echoed around the stage. Beep-0 knows that voice anywhere. Then the Phantom of the Bwahpera shows up and taunt the heroes. Beep-0 is annoyed and not happy that it's the Phantom, asking how did he even get here? The Phantom responded that the people of the Melodic Gardens seem to have a certain liking for him, which gave him the much needed strength he needed back. 
"I can tell your already aquatinted with my new protégé, no?" The Phantom then said. Beep-0 seemed confused at that part until The Phantom clues him in that he's something they already met, somebody with a familiar… lack of limbs, and that he would be excited to see Beep-0 and the others thrown into his dungeon to participate in his next show. Beep-0 figures that it's Rayman, but he refuses to believe so Beep-0 tells the Phantom that Rayman would never team up with him, considering how the Phantom insulted him at the Space Opera Network.
It's that moment where Rayman steps in, guarded by two Broozers in bodyguard suits as Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach and Beep-0 looked at him and ask him to tell the Phantom that he would never team up with him. However in a complete twist, Rayman just gave them a scornful glare and walked over to the Phantom's side, baffling Beep-0, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Mario. "Rayman, what are you doing? The Phantom is our enemy! After all he put you through at the Space Opera Network, you decide now to join him?" says Beep-0, who can't believe Rayman would do this. 
The Phantom snickered, claiming how easy it was to subdue the limbless hero into working for him and how he was going to be the instrument of the heroes's demise, but he would rather do this during showtime so until then, he'll keep the heroes in his dungeon as a trapdoor opens as the heroes fell into it with the doors closing afterwards. "I suggest you clean and doll yourself up for tonight's show. I have the feeling that this will be our intruder's last..", The Phantom then told Rayman. Raymam snickers as he goes to his room to get ready for the show.
Everyone soon found themselves in the The Phantom's grimy and dirty dungeon with a few other prisoners, including Allegra, shocking Beep-0 that the Phantom got her too. While Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach start to mourn for their friend who has suddenly started working for the Phantom, JEANIE seems to infer that while they were near Rayman, the female robot can detect an unusual anomaly within his mind, almost like something has brainwashed him. Beep-0 froze at that statement and asks JEANIE if she's saying that Rayman might be under some spell of sorts. "A conclusion like that is 100% possible, which might explain his amnesia. But we don't know what's keeping him under the Phantom's control.", JEANIE replied.
Shocked from hearing this, Beep-0 then started to get really angry, knowing that he and the others had been misled by The Phantom once again. "If I had a Coin for every time that pilfering Phantom had tricked us, I'd have about 3 Coins right now!", he says. The hovering companion then tells the heroes that they must escape this dungeon and confront The Phantom… hopefully for the last time. So the heroes decide to break out of the dungeon, promising the others that they will come back to save them as they broke out of their cell and battle their way through the dungeon. After doing that, they went out the dungeon and out to the entrance where they'd started. And with the knowledge of what the Phantom is planning to do, the heroes try to find hi and Rayman, even though they don’t know how they’re going to break the spell. Unfortunately for them, they soon get caught by the Broozers who told them that they’re late.
Once the heroes get tossed onto the stage by the boxing gloves purple specters with a crowd of many Spindrifts, Crayzee Dayzees, Toads and Rabbids who were glued to their seats, the show begins and what appears to be a painted medieval throne room is shown on stage as various Boos in knight helmets appear and point their Lance props at the group while spotlights shone on the throne as a platform brings Rayman up on stage, wearing a king costume as he begins to sing.
After the song, the heroes get on the stage to confront the Phantom and Rayman. Beep-0, Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach tried their best to help Rayman remember who he uses to be and try to snap him out of it. However, The Phantom tells the limbless hero that all of the heroes are trying to ruin "his" chances of being famous and that they need to be destroyed as the ghost Rabbid thrusts the limbless dude at the heroes as a fight starts. 
After the battle, Rayman is knocked unconscious as the spell that was placed on his was finally broken as he comes to his senses. "Huh? What happened? How did I even get here?" said Rayman. That's when everyone cheered and hugged Rayman, happy to see that he was back to normal. However, Rayman was confused until he sees the Phantom, remembering everything that happened prior to his brainwashing via a flashback. 
The flashback shows that Rayman had gotten a letter by a Peepa who had traveled to him home via a red, black and yellow space pod. Inside the letter was coordinates to a planet called the Melodic Gardens, detailing that he had been selected for a private screening of the new Operatic Theater and its first ever play that had been newly established on the planet. Remembering what happened last time, Rayman felt like it was another trap and asked the Peepa to take him there. 
Upon accepting the terms, the white ghost escorted Rayman to the Melodic Gardens where he remained suspicious and on guard, having a feeling on who invited him and wasn't going to be fooled by the same person second time. By the time he got seated and was ready to see the play, his suspicions were confirmed as the Phantom appeared with an army of Darkmess Soldiers. 
While Rayman was able to fight them off and went straight ahead against the Phantom, the ghostly Rabbid then sprayed something at him, causing Rayman to blackout. When the limbless hero awakened, he found himself in a dressing room in a chair, facing a mirror and with no memory of what had happened. He then heard the door open as Boos began to fly towards him. But instead of attacking him, they seem to be pampering him. And that’s when the Phantom began to fabricate a story about how Rayman was the superstar of this theater with adoring fans and money and how Mario and his friends were enemies.
After the flashback ended, Rayman then tries to throw his fist at The Phantom, who teleports out of range. The Phantom then powers up from the spotlights as he gets ready to fight the heroes since his plan failed and the others might as well go down with it as they braced themselves for another brawl against The Phantom.
Once the Phantom's butt has been kicked once again, he tells the heroes that Kanya will hear from him and that they'll never stop the Syndicate's final plan. But before Beep-0 can ask him what it was, the ghostly Rabbid had already left. Everyone including Allegra were then freed as they exit the theater while Rayman apologizes to everyone for attacking them due to not being himself as JEANIE begins to scan the stage for the final piece of the coordinates with the help of Allegra. ANd then Allegra then finds chip on the ground and hands it to JEANIE, and she thanks the heroes for their help in saving the Melodic Gardens
JEANIE then tells everyone that she got the coordinates to Kanya's fortress. Rabbid Peach asks where the Kanya's stronghold is. JEANIE states that it's somewhere on the moon like planet not far from the Melodic Gardens. Beep-0 suggest that they get going and bring the fight to the Syndicate
====Kanya's Stronghold====
On they way to Kanya's stronghold, the WM ARC is suddenly attack by what appears to be some ufos, red, black and yellow ones that shoot out Bullet Bills. No doubt about it, that they must be sent by Kanya to defend the stronghold and keep the heroes from breaking in. After beating them, a figure comes out, and it turns out to be Rosalina, turned into a weapon by Kanya and the Syndicate, who then attacks the heroes. To even get Rosalina out of the syndicate's control, the heroes will need to use the WM ARC to blast away the Darkmess Eyes that have taken control of her. And Rabbid Rosalina takes the lead on the attack.
Once the Darkmess eyes were taken out, Rosalina comes to her senses and apologizes to the heroes as she was being forced to defend Kanya's base via the Darkmess Eyes. Beep-0 insists that it wasn't her fault, but Kanya and the syndicate. JEANIE, then states that we shall stop them. With Rosalina trusting that they'll stop her, then uses her wand to create an opening through the planet's defenses so they can get into the base.
Finally reached the planet where Kanya's stronghold would be, JEANIE detects a bunch of Darkmess soldiers keeping them from entering inside the stronghold, and she also detects that the door to her headquarters is locked. Kanya must have know the group might be coming, so she had the door to her room locked away and powered by generators within each of the four domes around the planet, which are heavily guarded. They would also have to deal with the Mecha King Bob-Omb statue attack robot. "No really, I'm serious. My sensors detect that the stone statue is actually a security robot that Kanya created to try and destroy us." Beep-0 said as he runs down on what the group would be up against.
As JEANIE tries to scan the area for how they can take out the statue, she suddenly begins to glitch out and turn red. Kanya had somehow managed to hack into JEANIE so she can't help the heroes infiltrate her base. And she turns her into a monster. While Beep-0 tries to hold the monsterfied JEANIE back, he urges for the heroes to go and destroy the generators and take down the security robot. TBA
Finally reaching the throne room, where all the members of the Syndicate arrive to ambush the heroes. Serving as the last line of defense, the syndicate tell the heroes that they're not going to let them get a step closer to Kanya, since they were going to get rid of the heroes all at the same time. But the heroes were ready to face them. 
Upon beating the syndicate members, Kanya then comes into the room, holding Spawny captive and was impressed by how they managed to get into the base even after she had hacked JEANIE into useless. "Your reign of terror is over, Kanya! Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way." Beep-0 told Kanya as the others heroes also had something to say about Kanya.
The ones who were especially mad at Kanya were Rabbid Mario, Edge, and Rayman, as both Rabbids were angry at Kanya for trying to get rid of the heroes and making them think Rabbid Mario was dead when he was not, and Rayman had his grudge against Kanya for making him forget who he was and made him think he was a jerk. "Nobody treats the hero of the Glade Of Dreams like a puppet and gets away with it!" Rayman said. And the heroes prepare the face all of the members of the syndicate.
After being beaten, The other syndicate members then got up and told Kanya to give them another chance. But alas, her only response to that was a shocking "You guys were actually serious in letting me share my rule with you guys? I'm afraid your no longer relevant to me. However, I will accept more power!"
Kanya then grabs all of the members of her Syndicate and eats them, shocking the heroes. Due to this, she somehow absorbed their abilities and then transforms into a giant hybrid and calls herself, "MEGA Kanya." She then commands her Darkmess Soldier to prepare the battlefield as the soldiers press a button as the ground below MEGA Kanya and the heroes begins to move and then suddenly shoots up into the air, also splitting up the heroes into groups again.
"I've been waiting for a long time to do this!" Kanya then said as everyone got ready for the battle of their lives. First up are Bowser Jr, Mario, Rabbid Rosalina, Rabbid Daisy and Rabbid Yoshi. Each of the 5 need to make it past the maze and gauntlet of Darkmess creatures to damage the Darkmess Anchors which are shielding a part of Mega Kanya. 
After destroying the first part, Mega Kanya summons Darkmess Tentacles to wrap them up, leaving the second group consisting of Yoshi, Rabbid Luigi, Daisy, Bowser and Rabbid Peach. They too get wrapped in Darkmess Tebtacles after destroying the second part of Mega Kanya, leaving the last group of Rabbid Mario, Edge, Rayman, Luigi and Peach to deal the final attack to Mega Kanya.
However, Mega Kanya proves to be too strong and has the final five on their knees. And just when it looks like things are about to go downhill, the other ex-Spark hunters arrive to help out the heroes as well as them hearing some voices all across the galaxy who can feel that the group was struggling and urged them to keep fighting and not give up. With their encouragement, they have to come up with a plan to defeat Mega Kanya. Rosalina has a suggestion, that Edge has to eat her own allies to get powerful enough to defeat Mega Kanya, temporarily. 
“Are you crazy!? None of us except for Edge would come back out alive if she eats us! Let alone actually come back out alive! There has to be another way!” Rayman said in a panicked manner. "Don't worry. I'll make sure you all survive being eaten, if I changed you into a form where you would be free to come back out upon consumption." Rosalina then said to the others, saying it's the only way they can beat Mega Kanya.
Edge is a little bit unsure of this plan herself, until everyone putted their fate in her and that they'll be okay as Rosalina will just temporarily convert them into energy and then come back once Mega Kanya is defeated. Hearing, Edge says this, "If you guys don't survive this. I'm sorry." And then she began to eat all of her allies, and then she managed to gain their power and abilities to become "The Lightness".
With the powers of those she had eaten combined, The Lightness and Mega Kanya soon engaged in a giant battle with Beep-0 and the ex-Spark Hunters providing support for her in the final climatic fight. And once the Lightness finally takes down Mega Kanya, the empowered Rabbid of light soon fires one final blow to Mega Kanya as she was sent down into the pit of Darkmess, causing a reaction as it blows up. With Mega Kanya defeated, the Lightness reverts to her original form as Edge and all off the allies she ate were coughed right out of her as balls of light before assuming their original forms. Beep-0 is glad that all the Darkmess is gone and that Kanya and the syndicate are defeated. And with Spawny now freed, he runs back to the heroes as everyone picked him up and hugged the little rabbit.
Edge and the other ex-Spark hunters were happy that Kanya was gone as the others celebrated. But then the ground began to shake, the base was going to explode! Thinking quickly, Edge leads the others to exit the base before it blows up. 
And after getting through one last gauntlet of mazes to race the clock, everyone hops onto the WM ARC as they leave the planet as everyone sees it explode into millions of pieces.
====Epilogue====
At the Mushroom Kingdom, The WM ARC can be see flying back to the kingdom as all of the Rabbids, Toads, and Sparks looked at it as the ship landed as everyone came out of it along with Spawny. As soon as the whole gang was back on the ground, everyone clapped and cheered for them.
And with the whole Kanya crisis taken care off, the festival can finally resume. However before that, everyone was shocked to see the ex-Spark Hunters with the group as Midnite, Bedrock, and Daphne go to explain to the people that they have changed their ways. Rabbid Mario confirms this when he was with them at the time as everyone else then go into a speech on what they have learned during their quest, and how those experiences affected them. 
Of course, they wouldn’t have ever beaten Kanya if it weren’t for the determination and effort of Edge, who felt touched by this as both Beep-0 and JEANIE agree with the sentiment along with also adding that they helped out a bit too, as did everyone else.
Post credit scene: A bit of Darkmess puddle is shown on the a piece of a planet where Kanya’s base was, and then a hand emerges to get the sample. And then it reveals that it was Rabbid Bowser who smiles and he plans to get even with the heroes, better than what Kanya tried to do.
===DLC#1: Donkey Kong and the Island of Robots===
(Playable Characters in the DLC- Donkey Kong, Rabbid Cranky, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Luigi)
Somewhere in the DK Isles, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong were busy swinging through the vines of their jungle home with Cranky Kong watching them, smiling as he appreciates their energetic spirits along with Funky Kong who was busy working on his plane. It all seems to be like fun times rolling for DK and the crew, until Diddy hits something grey and metal. When the red capped monkey got and looked at it, he saw what appeared to be some kind of mechanical coconut tree. 
Why was there a metal coconut tree in DK Isles? As the DK crew go to find out, they began to notice that something is beginning to mechanize their home in deep and heavy machinery while taking away the organic resources and replacing them with mechanical copies. And then they saw something very horrifying, robotic versions of Zingers capturing some normal Zingers and tossing them into a machine that makes them into robots.
===DLC#2: Rabbid Mario and the Spark Hunters ===
(Playable Characters in the DLC- Rabbid Mario, Midnite, Bedrock, and Daphne)
Taking place after Rabbid Mario's fall, where he lays on the ground, when a huge hand carries him off. A moment later, Rabbid Mario wakes up in a dark cavern with glowing purple lights with Scaredy Rats running away from him as soon as he got up. He tries to shout if Beep-0 and the rest are here, but there was only silence. He could help but feel uneasy about this cave. As he goes off to go deeper into these caves and practice his combat skills, he suddenly falls into a pitfall that was covered by rocks and leaves, and looking up he could he some shadows peering over the hole and started to whisper some things to eachother. After a while, a rope is tossed into the hole as the voice tells Rabbid Mario to use it to climb out.
Rabbid Mario, unsure if he should trust these mysterious figures, decides to go along with this and grabbed onto the rope and got pulled into the cave's surface. That's when he came to a shocking realization. Those strangers were actually a bunch of Stooges, the ones who worked for Cursa. But before they can attack… "Stand down! He's no threat!", said another voice. This caused the Stooges to cease fire and back away as three shadows approached Rabbid Mario. And shockingly, it turned out to be the Spark Hunters who worked for Cursa before. Quickly reacting, Rabbid Mario pulled out his Dukes and got ready to fight them. 
But Daphne wrapped the plumber Rabbid's weapon in her vines and tried to explain that they need his help since they did save his life. Bedrock and Mitnite question Daphne if this was a good idea to have one of their enemies assist them with their problem, with the plant Rabbid assuring them that she knows what she's doing. As the Spark Hunters motioned to Rabbid Mario to follow them, he asked about how they even got here with Mitnite explaining that after they got beaten during Cursa's reign, she banished the three of them to this place called the Cavern Of Punishment. Daphne also added on that when Cursa was destroyed, the Stooges, Squashers, Medicians, and Wildclaws who formerly worked for the villian began flooding the world unnoticed. 
"And well, since we didn't know where else they could go since everyone in the Galaxy feared them due to them being minions for Cursa, we brought them all right here underground.", says Daphne. Although Bedrock tells Rabbid Mario that these guys seem to have a dislike against him and his friends, but they’re working to cool down their hatred to they can live peaceful lives.
Midnite asked Rabbid Mario why he thought they were still enemies with him stating that it's possible for them to have joined Kanya's syndicate army to force every world to do Kanya's bidding. Midnite disclaims this, saying that they never would do that and wonder if Kanye might have probably been hearing this. Wanting to give Rabbid Mario a chance, Daphne proposes that if he helps them, they could help him fight the Syndicate.
With such a high promise, Rabbid Mario shakes hands with Daphne and tells the other ex-Spark hunters that they got a deal, he just needs to know what the problem was. Bedrock explains that there had been sightings of a source of unimaginable darkness known as Darkmess Crystals, which are gemstones that channel in to one’s own coldness in themselves and uses that energy to feed off of it and spread to decay it’s surroundings. 
These crystals have been causing problems lately in these caverns, and they seem to be the root of why the ex-Spark Hunters are struggling with reforming Cursa’s former soldiers. These crystals are located so high, that it would take a ladder of plungers just to reach, and there isn’t any plungers in these caves. Is there? Mitnite did report that she had seen some around these caves, but getting to them will be very difficult due to the crystal’s influence.

=== DLC#3: Sam And Max in “Sugarcrash Blues”===
(Playable Characters in the DLC- Sam and Max, Mario, Luigi, Rabbid Daisy, Bowser Jr., Rayman)
After Kanya's defeat, the festival picked up right where it left off as everyone enjoyed the festivities it has to offer. As they partied, Bowser Jr. seems to look up into the sky and sighs sadly as Rabbid Daisy walked towards the kid Koopa and wondered what’s gotten him down, with him replying that after the festival, things are going to go back to same thing that everyone usually does, and for him it means fighting Mario again. But for once, Bowser Jr. doesn’t want to back to those old routines, despite enjoying the thrills of it and craves for something different. 
Fate seems to have heard him as they then see a swirling purple Vortext begin to materialize, drawing in the two of them as they go to touch it. But as they do, the Vortext starts to pull them in. The commotion was heard as everyone rushed over and saw Rabbid Daisy and Bowser Jr. getting pulled into the vortext, even the clown car gets sucked in. As Mario goes to pull the two out, it suddenly drags him in too with Beep-0, Luigi and Rayman both going reel him out too until the force of the Vortext becomes too strong and they all fell in as the Vortext closes.
It then cuts to what appears to be a pink skied orange planet with many giant treats and candy around and with Beep-0 and the other 5 travelers laying there unconscious. Just then, the same Vortext opens up as what appears to be a DeSoto car drives into the sugar planet and out of the car came and anthropomorphic dog in a coat and hat and a rabbit with a grinning face, known as Sam and Max, the Freelance Police.
”Well here we are Max, on a planet that smells of desserts greater than the ones in the Mississippi.” says Sam.
”I though that aroma of sweetooths and high levels of sugar smelled familiar..” says Max before he then noticed the unconscious people on the ground and says “And by the look of this, it seems like we’re not the only ones who were sent to investigate this place. Probably beating us here first even..” before proceeding to then say “Shall I jump upon their bodies so they can greet the dawn?” With Sam replying with “Can’t think of a reason not to..”.
Max then began to bounce on the 6 strangers to wake them up and surely enough, it works. Beep-0 calls time out as Max gets off them while others regained conscious. The little robot soon noticed the dog and bunny duo and asks them who they were, with the two introducing themselves to the gang as Sam and Max, and that they’re the Freelance Police. Beep-0 inquired to what is a Freelance Police, with Max saying it’s just a fancy title for private investigators who stop all sorts of crime that happen in their home town, Newer York. 
As Sam gives the group the rundown of why they’re here on this planet, saying something about the Commissioner calling them about how there were strange things going on in this planet, Max starts to take interest in Rabbid Daisy, despite Sam reminding him that he not even into girls, and playing around with Rayman’s limbless hands and feet, even asking him how they’re even floating in the air like that.
Max then goes off to look for someone who might be living on this planet and sees a few Hoppers as he tries to talk to them. “Pardon me fellow gentlemen, but have any of you guys seen any suspicious activity around here? Not counting any that you might have done yourselves, which reminds me of the time Flint Paper caught a street chimp stuffing pies with scarabs. I know it sounds strange but-“. Before Max could finish his sentence, the Hoppers began firing their weapons and began chasing him.

==Gameplay==
The gameplay is much like the two before it, where it involves moving around the overworld. In battles, characters have a set amount of distance they can move, and can all move, attack, and use one of their two abilities in 2 turns (unlike the last two games). An addition to this game is the turn relay system, where one character can give up their turn and give it to another character, as their second turn. Second turns have much less movement available, and damage is reduced.
New overworld movements have been implemented like jumping without the need for a pad, swinging across some Flying Rings, and a new type of puzzle where you use a terminal to access a Q-bert-like minigame in order to open certain gates
Items make a return here, and you can buy them from Lumalee who will give them to you in exchange for using Coins to purchase then. You can also purchase new weapons from him and get some of the Enemy Profiles to add to your Data Journal. There is also new items like the Ice Flower and Fire Flower.
If you want to upgrade your weapons, then go talk to Professor E.Gadd, who will help make the heroes weapons stronger and allow you to modify them with the new Weapon Chips, which you can create by collecting Planet Coins to afford the parts needed to make it, or fuse two of them to make a new chip. Each weapon has a different amount of slots to put the chips in, so use them wisely. 
As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock more weapon chips to customize your weapons with like giving them certain effects like Burn, Confusion, Stone, Sleep, Gusty, Freeze or Ink, or allow you to shoot twice or have a lower cooldown time. If you link 3 or more chips of the same type in the same slot column or row, the weapon they’re attached to will gain an extra power boost and a new ability. You can also earn new chips by completing some side quests.
Feeling lucky? Visit the Arcade Asteroid to play some minigames for some exclusive items and even create your own battles for other players around the world to complete via the internet.
