The TV studio is under the management of the Phantom, a previous antagonist from Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, who has now transformed into a studio director. In dire need of ratings boost, the Phantom seeks the assistance of true stars to regain the studio’s past glory.

Ubisoft’s Decision to Release Sparks of Hope
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot recently shed light on the company’s decision to release Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. He mentioned that Nintendo had advised Ubisoft to consider releasing the sequel on the successor to the Nintendo Switch.
