With all the wonderful gaming news being shoveled onto us at once, it comes as no surprise that Mario would be a part of the action. It seems that every time we turn around there is either a new Mario game or a refurbishing of an older one. In that regard, Nintendo recently gave us the remake of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and was thoroughly enjoyed by a whole new generation.
With the success of Kingdom Battle in 2017 came the resurgence of the fan base, and a demand for even more rabbids. Nintendo heard this cry and immediately began working on a sequel. Well, that game is now here and is headed to the Nintendo Switch. The sequel will release sometime next year.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope was initially revealed via a leak, unfortunately. However, Nintendo has now gotten ahead of this with the official gameplay trailer for the game. During the Ubisoft showcase in this years E3, we were given a close look at just how wacky and hilarious this new game is poised to be.

If you haven’t heard yet, Animal Crossing New Horizons is getting a major Mario update featuring a bunch of adorable items and clothing to turn your island into a Mario wonderland.
One of the most functional and interesting new items is the Mario warp pipe. It looks identical to the one you may have seen and jumped through in the many Mario games available over the last 35 years.
Use them to fast travel around your island
You can place two warp pipes on your island and once you jump into one you will be teleported to the second one placed anywhere on your island.
You can even place one in your own home and place the second one on the beach, by the town plaza or anywhere else you wish to travel to from the comfort of your home.
Place multiple and be surprised – create a maze
Of course you can place more than two on your island, if you choose to do this and you enter one pipe, the final destination will be random and you will be teleported to one of the many warp pipes you have on your island.
Having the ability to randomize your destinations with multiple warp pipes will give creative players interesting ways to build mazes as the pipes will work in multiplayer sessions as well.
