Ubisoft on meshing the universes of Mario and the Rabbids in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Coming from Ubisoft's Davide Soliani...

“Mario is very well known as a hero, a brave guy. And the Rabbids are quite the opposite, quite different. How cool it could be if Mario, throughout the game, teaches to the Rabbids how to become heroes? And Mario learns from the Rabbids how to crack a joke, to take it easy.

We wanted make something that Mario players would recognize, like jumping and stomping, but at the same time, we were using the Rabbids to inject in those mechanics new ways to spice up the combat, new ways to spice up the Nintendo characters as well.”
