When a Super Mario character touches it, he simply roars instead. When a Rabbid character touches the pressure plate and drops all of the bananas, a cutscene involving Rabbid Kong shaking them, using them to scratch his bottom, and tossing them to the ground plays. Three Garden Ziggies support Rabbid Kong in the first phase, followed by two Garden Hoppers in the second phase and one Garden Smasher in the third phase. When his HP is depleted, Rabbid Kong will move to another portion of the battlefield and replenish himself with a fresh banana hoard, repeating the process.

To avoid this, Luigi or Rabbid Peach can alternatively deploy a Sentry towards the pressure plate, allowing all three heroes to attack Rabbid Kong while simultaneously protecting them from his stronger attack. To damage him, one of the characters must approach him, which will cause the pressure plate in front of him to drop his banana hoard and go ballistic as a result, making him an easier target - however, he will also hit the nearest character with a much stronger attack. Rabbid Kong's first move is to create a shock wave on the battlefield that deducts 10 HP from each heroic character, and the move also knocks them back unless they have full cover. convinces him to join him, and is subsequently fought by Mario and his friends. It took about six hours to play through, including with some of the tough post-game challenge missions and casually collecting the many puzzle pieces and chests hidden behind optional puzzles (mostly of the block-pushing variety, but there are also a few memory games and other types mixed in) that range from simplistic to daunting but achievable.Rabbid Kong is created by Spawny after Bowser Jr. Cranky also addresses one of my little gripes with Mario + Rabbids by riding on top of Beep-O while you’re navigating the world map, making it easier to see where the front of your party is when moving away from the camera.Overall, this new world feels a little easier than the main campaign missions, though that's partially because I already know how to play. And of course, the music is up to the excellent standard of the original game, with a more Donkey Kong-inspired beat to it.

The world itself is just as diverse and beautiful as in the main game - each of the four chapters takes place in a different environment, from tropical to jungle to underground, and they’re all splashed with color and details like scenes of Rabbids goofing off in the background.
