The game presents a single-player story mode, which involves the above, and a local co-operative mode with separate stages in which multiple human players can face off against enemy Rabbids. A Versus mode was added through an update, enabling players to battle each other locally. The game also offers paid add-on content with new weapons, challenges, and a [[Donkey Kong Adventure|story expansion]] focusing on [[Donkey Kong]].

Meanwhile, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach]] are inaugurating a new statue of Peach while an audience of [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s (including [[Toadette]]) watches. Suddenly, a vortex is formed and sucks Mario and the others in.

In midair over the [[Ancient Gardens]], Beep-0 gains rabbit ears and the outline of two rabbit's teeth on the front. The Rabbid with the SupaMerge fuses with the headset, causing it to be stuck to him. Mario later saves Beep-0 from being crushed by the Time Washing Machine. Upon landing, they soon encounter Rabbid Peach and [[Rabbid Luigi]], who join Mario's team and help them fight off various [[Ziggy|Garden Ziggies]], thanks to weapons attached to a message sent by a mysterious ''F.B.''. As they travel, they get a glimpse of the vortex, later referred to as the [[Megabug]].

Soon after, Mario's group find Luigi and the Rabbid with the SupaMerge headset. Luigi and the SupaMerge Rabbid are both scared by a [[Piranha Plant]] with which a Rabbid is playing. Due to the fear, the SupaMerge Rabbid ends up fusing the other Rabbid with the Piranha Plant, creating the [[Pirabbid Plant]]. Mario's team successfully defeats the Plant and restore both the Piranha Plant and the Rabbid that was fused with it to their original selves. Seeing this, Luigi joins their team. Meanwhile, Beep-0 notices that the Megabug has grown in size.

The game is estimated to be composed of 35% exploration elements and 65% turn-based combat. There is also multiplayer, local co-op mode. The combat is weapon-based, with the weapons primarily resembling guns (notably the Blaster, Boomshot, Rumblebang, and Precision class-weapons), though they also resemble warhammers (Melee-class), rocket launchers (Rocket-class), rubber ducks (Grenaduck-class), yo-yos (Bworb-class), and deployable shuttles (Sentry-class).

The exploration aspect of the game is controlled by [[Beep-0]], a new character which serves as a helpful character which gives out tips and help. There are seven enemy archetypes, and one mid-boss and boss per world and four world environments. Some of the open world exploring involves puzzles.

===Boo Companion===
There is a random glitch that makes [[Boo]]s companions of sorts. There is no specific method to make this glitch occur, but during the glitch, Boos will nit teleport the player's heroes to different locations during a battle, and they'll also appear in the player's victory screen after winning a battle. In addition, one or more Boos will follow the player out of battle; additionally, the Boos from the battlefield will still appear, and in specifically in [[Spooky Trails]]' secret chapter, the player will not be allowed to leave the area (unless they exit the game via the pause menu).
===Eyeless Goomba===
===Eyeless Goomba===
[[Goomba]]s that are stuck in honey are rendered eyeless if the camera is positioned so that they appear near the side of the screen.

Normally, a Mushroom will permanently disappear after collection, even if the player initiates and then restarts a battle. However, if the player quits to the main menu while mid-chapter and then reloads their save file, the Mushroom will reappear. All party members will retain their HP from before the player quit, allowing them to collect the Mushroom again and heal further, effectively providing an infinite health restoration method.


===Random flickering object placement glitch===
===Random flickering object placement glitch===
Sometimes in [[Spooky Trails]] and [[Lava Pit (Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle)|Lava Pit]], random background objects will randomly flicker around to places they do not belong. Normally, this is a simple thing the game will fix quickly, but in other cases, the glitch will persist and start affecting things around the player, potentially causing coins on moving platforms to get stuck in the ground and similar things. Occasionally, a piece will start to blink over [[Beep-0]], eventually leading to an exception that crashes the game.

*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': The [[Phantom (boss)|Phantom]] mentions this game in [[Phantom of the Bwahpera|his song]], which references the fact that it is Mario's first appearance. In the Donkey Kong Adventure DLC, this game's title theme can be heard in the mid-boss theme and the pre-battle theme. Also, a stone structure resembling the [[25m]] stage can been seen, where a [[Rabbid]] is found jumping over barrels that another Rabbid is throwing while imitating Donkey Kong's movements and the 25m theme plays in the background. [[Beep-0]] remarks that the Rabbid would be lucky to get to 125 meters unless he finds a [[Hammer]].
