- The video that put me on the map is now over a year old. And now that a sequel exists, I'm legally obligated to follow up on it.
A free copy of this game was provided by Ubisoft.

OK, I've been getting a lot of comments about Edge, Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Luigi's weapons not being guns. If I allowed those weapons just because they looked different, the run wouldn't be any different from a casual playthrough, and the video wouldn't be worth making.
Mabye you should change the title to
Can you beat mario and rabbids sparks of hope without using any weapons
@@rudysarmiento8700 But then I'd have to change the intro to the video as well, and then I'd lose all 40k views.
Which is frankly an absurd number.
@@DrRank oh ya I forgot about that, sorry
@@DrRank since the game acknowledged that you defeated cursa's final form, this challenge is technically a success!!! Cursa just tried to use semantics and a BULLSHIT softlock (which I'm pretty sure is unintentionally in the game to begin with) to cheat you out of a victory. Essentially, cursa was a sore loser and threw a temper tantrum. Through the power of semantical reasoning, the mario+rabbids sparks of hope no shot run, is MISSION COMPLETE!!!!!!
@@DrRank and you didn't think of this potentially happening when you came up with the idea before making the video
I love how there is barely any Mega Bugs because Cursa is just a FRAGMENT of Megabug.
That ending was the biggest robbery since Brisbane v Geelong R2 2021
I don't follow sports other than tennis, so I'll just take your word for it.
I get this joke
I too am Australian
After spending 12 minutes thinking of a video concept I thought it would be cool if you did Mario + Rabbids nuzlocke.
Here’s how it would work:
1: if a character dies you can’t use it for the rest of the run.
2: each character is linked to a specific spark so if the character dies you can’t use the spark for the rest of the run.
3: you can’t use a character until you get the spark their linked to. (If you decide to do this you can pick whatever spark you want but I linked the characters to their spark in the promotional art for the game.
Mario - starburst
Rabbid peach - pyrogeddon
Rabbid Luigi - toxiquake
Luigi - aquanox
Rabbid Mario - glitter
Peach - reflector
Edge - vamp dash
Rabbid Rosalina - ethering
Bowser - exosphere
When you get the option for two sparks at once the first slot will stay the linked spark while the second slot can be any spark you want).
4) since you don’t get aquanox until after the first boss when the game forces a third party member just use edge with exosphere until you get aquanox then use Luigi, and if the game forces a character that is dead then it counts as a rule break.
5) items are banned
6) pulser spark is banned
If you think about doing a nuzlocke for this game you can use these rules. you can make your own rules if you feel like it but I these rules would work well.
If they make a third game, Ubisoft better give you it for free again. 4 hours on a single boss and FIRST TRYING IT is an incredible feat. Props to your determination
I feel like Ubisoft wanted to get payback for somehow cheesing most of the main bosses last time, so they specifically made it so you HAVE to use the weapons to win the final fight
Man I got to give you some respect for that video, I can’t imagine how long it would take to complete that game without shooting, and in demanding mode. Even though you couldn’t complete it, it was impressive you got that far, so good job
He cheated on bedrock bedrock had 7k hp but when he showed the explosive exploded in a normal play through bedrock had 13k. And he said he was on demanding mode
@@volcarona3604That footage was recorded on my casual save file (which is also on Demanding), using the Replay Battle feature. When fighting bosses with this feature, their health scales to your level.
Why do you care if it’s on not on demanding mode. He still did very good and technically
won
I KNEW IT WAS BEDROCK!!! that must've been hell to have the run ruined by the final cursa phase but you technically beaten curas so I'm going to count this round semi-counquered.
like all games there's always that challenge that no one tries yet here we have an amazing youtuber willing to devote his time and give the content what a hero
Man, that sucks. So close! Hope it becomes possible eventually!
I'll be checking the Summons' AI at every patch
I'm a little late, but it's great to see a sequel to my favorite Mario + Rabbids challenge video.
18:03 note a summoned ally finishing off phase 1 also crashes the game
Nah idc if you have to shoot stuff at the end. You KILLED the boss. I count that as a win.
This man literally killed bedrock explosive-less
PS Bedrock doesn't have infinite defense because characters don't have defense in this game to begin with. What actually happens is she has a -95% (roughly) damage modifier. But due to programmers not fixing an issue from the first game, damage modifiers stack *by addition.* So for example, +50% Starburst stacks like (-95% + 50% = -45%), which results in Starburst effectively being a *800% increase* on damage. That's generally how you're supposed to beat Bedrock without the barrels. (Dash sparks like Vampdash and friends or athlete passives also stack the same way) (yes, this happens in Kingdom Battle too, but for whatever reason it only applies to Weaken/M-Power/NME Empowerment; stuff like the shields and High Ground Bonus stack by multiplication. Not sure about the VS ticket stuff. Sparks of Hope it applies to basically everything: Turbocharge, Fortify, Reflector, Physical Resistance, Elemental Resistance, Bedrock's Defense, Riptides' Anger, Magikoopas' boost...)
My rules for challenges like this:
If the tutorial can’t be skipped, the rules apply
Woah youre super duper underates , SUBSCRIBED!
I posted the original on accident oops.
(WARNING, MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)
3:01 Glad the megabug jokes are back. 3:32 AKA GIant tony the tiger4:00 - 4:03 It also scales with your level damage. 4:50 "I need you to collect 10 (2 In each world except for (SPOILER ALERT: Cursa's stronghold)) 5:18 Megabug joke #2 5:20 Actually, it could be used to speedrun the "Reach here" Missions, Albeit VERY inconsistent. 6:23 I can't makeup a ps1/ps2 monster's inc joke because I never played those games. All I know is that you need it to scare children 7:16 - 7:25 AKA: A noob's best friend. 8:02 Off topic, Buuuut Rabbid rosa is broken. There I said it, Who doesn't want to stunlock bosses you can dash? And who DOESN'T want to melt bosses in a reg playthrough w a 100%/80% crit chance? 9:02 3rd most annoying enemy in my opinion. #2 goes to scopers, #1 goes to OOZERS.... OOZERS... 10:29 Oh yeah bedrock, Either you do it intended way OOOOR, You do it the wrong way by dashing her to death. And using sparks. Rabbid luigi's weaken dash REALLY helps here. 11:30 Funny that you play a minecraft clip of the boss that looks like something outta minecraft 11:45 Needs no explanation 12:15 I wish they were smarter, that's just stupid :( Also megabug joke #3
13:15 I wish the first game had a revive. 13:29 Ah yes, the Mr.Blocku of SOH 19:01 Oh mamma! thats a big skip, but Megaug joke #4 (Please that would've made curse phase 3 easier :( ) 20:00 Awww :( I knew curse was impossible, but I think the minimum shots fired would've have been at least 2-4 shots with rabbid rosa, x 3. But yes, I do think this is a great video, but it would've been cool if you triggered a secret ending by defeating cursa without the help of rosalina, That would be cool.
I absolutely love your channel and your videos. I watched the spyro 2 chageles run and the mario and rabids kingdom battle no shooting run😊
I think considering the end has “DEFEAT CURSA - X 1/1 Defeated”, you did technically succeed, kinda, I guess
Task Failed Successfully
@@DrRank Alternatively, if you’re not satisfied, you *could* make an exception for Rabbid Mario for the “no shooting” rule. Yeah, a lot of people argued that for him, Edge, Luigi, etc. but really, I think Rabbid Mario is the only character to explicitly not use *anything* that would count as a projectile (it’d be really wack to see him literally throwing hands)
I like the rules to be consistent.
This was a nice watch. This game is really strange with how it quantifies how phase 3 Cursa is “defeated”, for all intents and purposes you deserved to have this run successful, especially with how comically long Bedrock took.
DLC1 looks like some side mode, while DLC 2 and 3 seem entirely applicable for a new challenge since 2 is a “new planet” and 3 is probably this game’s equivalent to DK Adventure.
I'll probably do each DLC as they're released, but combine them all into a single video.
Im excited to wait for the final part of this series
How nice of Lucario to give you a spark for free
Well, the Dual Slingers and Triple Troll break in the beginning, so let's say they didn't figure out how to repair them.
I like that you made the video like a tutorial. - like any sane person would try by their own xD
I'm surprised you never decided to get the vamp dash spark from the secret key on the ice planet.
It wouldn't have been that useful, since it just enhances the existing attack instead of adding an extra one.
Sparks of hope but everyone forgot to rebuild the building where residents can acquire a license to use guns.
"Bedrock has finally eroded"
bro your scripting is on another level
Me: in class
Also me: intelligence not found due to megabug
You actually make good content and great job and too bad about cursa
18:03 so, glitch is fixed? guess you're doing the run agai- you won't do the run again, I'm just joking.
Here’s some challenge ideas I though of for this game
No Rabbid heroes (Thus, no controlling Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Rosalina, all of the Rabbid variety, and not even Edge is exempt; Probably only a challenge if you’ve abuse Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Rosalina’s power frequently like I did)
No Sparks (No primary abilities, or *neither* ability, your choice)
And for a real challenge, *neither* of them (A true “No Rabbids” challenge)
I typically limit myself to only one challenge per game outside of DLC. Feel free to try these yourself, though.
U r a underrated youtuber
Great job getting this far and actually defeating Cursa! Have you tried using POW blocks to charge the wands?
Yes, I have. No response.
@@DrRank Oh that's a bummer, just re-listened to that part and you actually mentioned that, sorry for making you repeat yourself :)
Now that the tower of doom dlc is available, I wonder if the challenge can finally be beaten shotless
I need to beat the mode casually first.
And while I do plan on recording a shotless run of each wave as it releases, I'll be combining them all into a single video.
@@DrRank I'm more referring to this run, given the hick up that stopped this from being complete, but cool to know that's eventually happening lol
@@stevesamuals2651 I'm checking with each new patch
can u do mario rabbids kingdom battle without taking damage?
Rules: enemies who attack first wont count
I usually limit myself to one challenge per game.
Besides, if I did a "Don't Take Damage Except I'm Allowed to Take Damage" run, I'd be permanently on the lam from the Semantic Police.
You can make Bedrock extremely easier for yourself if you just use the Starburst Spark
Your attacks with do 100 damage instead of 7
Which is way quicker to do especially if your using Rabbid Rosalina dash so you can just lock Bedrock in place
And by using Rabbid Luigi's upgraded Exhaust. I was later informed that it also lowers defence.
*Cough* *Cough* Dash Sparks does Exist *Cough* *Cough*
It's a question of what's more valuable: more attacks or stronger attacks. I personally chose the former.
if you didn’t know this, starburst supercharge makes your dashes and weapons pierce through most of Bedrocks defenses.
Edit: i found another comment that explains this.
Are you gonna do this with The DLC?
Yes, I am. Just be patient
I had trouble with the wiggler part when i played
Do a video with only one character for this (only aloud to control one character for the whole game)
Also Do a video with no upgrades as well
I only do one challenge per game.
Besides, "one character" would be impossible because of the final boss.
G'day earthlings, dr rank here, and welcome to gaming legends. The online internet show that makes sure to double check their word choice to prevent smart allics in the comments from subverting my challenges. I'm looking at you steve.
The first OFFICIAL wave of dlc for sparks of hope has recently released, and I'm here to attempt the same challenge with a more definitive challenge description to make sure it can't be subverted.
Can you beat the last spark hunter without using the main weapons. The rules for the run are simple, no actions that use the primary weapons can be used. This includes any reaction techniques and battle actions with zl. The run is complete when we defeat the final boss. With the rules set, let's get started
I will be playing that one soon, but the actual video won't come until after Rayman arrives
You beat Cursa and her wings, I don't see how that's not winning.
Apparently Ubisoft never considered the possibility that players would be silly.
@@DrRank Either way, that's a win in my book, you did everything the game asked, congratulations.
Have you tried Items to hurt the wands.
@@lucusjadryev4942 Yes. Yes, I have.
Dr i need a prescription for more videos please
I did just post a new one three days ago
Rabbit Mario’s boxing gloves don’t count as a gun
And edges sword
But where's the fun in that?
If my grandson did this it would take him hours
Ok so how is punching shooting? I’d say you can’t shoot a disc, but throw and that applys to edge so technically rabid Mario, edge and rabid luigi all can attack as it’s not shooting
Yeah but at that point he'll just be playing the game normally which isn't a challenge
Ok, wait, I don’t understand why using edge’s blade is off limits? Do you consider throwing a blade shooting?
Yeah you’re right sorry for that :(
First of all, Edge is a she.
Second, see pinned comment.
@@DrRank whoops my bad sorry because I forgot and I didn’t read the comment so sorry :(
@@K345-t4z In your defence, it didn't exist yet when you wrote that.
Alr I won’t chat anymore and the reason why is bc I feel dumb for saying that
Is it a tradition here to get Luigi's name wrong the entire video?
Yes. Yes, it is.
@@DrRank Poor Luis.
can’t you use rabbit mario, he’s not using a gun and edge just yeets a sword, or you can just rename the video to with out using weapons
Why didn’t you use rabbid luigi for bedrock his exhaust dash stacks and makes bedrock weaker
Because I didn't know it could do that at the time; I thought it just nerfed the enemy's Attack.
@@DrRankit shows a broken defense sign
@@BaconNoobGaming Which I didn't realise because I didn't pay close enough attention to RL's upgrade tree.
I feel you should of done a minimalist run
If the run fails on the final phase of the final boss, there's not much point in researching it.
@@DrRank I know but I was curious to what the minimum was
@@nintendoboy3605 Let's just guess and say four, if they're all from Luigi's bow at max distance with all upgrades
@@DrRank wel actuele
3
Maby 2
If u do no guns then it is possible due of edge and rabbit mario
See pinned comment
Respect for the bedrock fight
I mean you did kinda win But not really so it's kinda like a Faiwn (fail and win)
I know it be easy for you using edge rabbit Mario and Luigi but their not a gun
But where's the fun in that?
@@DrRank hm I have a idea. What if you try to beat this game with only one character
15:13 is......
10:41 bro just use starburst
Ya can't. I've tried.
It's a bit of a shame you decided all zl items would be banned. I imagine you could have used edge, rabbid Luigi, and rabbid Mario for a more consistent game and as a means of defeating cursa.
Yeah, but that would be boring.
Wait there’s a loophole here. Couldn’t you technically use rabbid Mario’s fists as he is punching, not shooting?
Edit: same with edge’s blade because she yeets her sword, not shoot a gun or something.
Where's the fun in that?
@@DrRank touché
I got this game for Christmas and i never beat it cause i don’t understand it
No.
Man, you were cheated
He admitted it?
U could have used pow blocks at the end
No I couldn't. They do literally nothing. Try it yourself if you don't believe me.
O good job making it there thow
Aren’t Rabbid Mario’s attacks not shooting?
That would be boring though
its the same with edge not shooting a gun just yeeting a sword
*Logan* 💀
did this guy call Luigi fucking logan
Spoilers: No
I had actually tried this challenge before, and I got to Cursa but was too lazy to actually finish the fight because it took too long
Edit: I wish I knew that you could buy pow blocks before fighting the giant claw guy in the first world because I literally used the reflector spark the whole time while running away. That took so long that no more enemies were spawning 💀
This game is bad purely because there is only alliteration for the first 3 areas
What does that even mean?! Do you actually hate this game!?
@@thepizzalovingtoad4258 think they were joking. It refers to how the first three worlds' names alliterate while the last three don't.
It really is a shame you can't beat the game without behaving like an American
In my defence, I'm an Aussie
@@DrRank I'm not sure if you get the joke
@@craigkenny6827 No, I got it
@@DrRank eh of you say so
How dare you mispronounce my boy Laquisia
