History YMMV / MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle

* GoddamnedBoss: Taken entirely on his own, the Icicle Golem isn't a particularly hard boss, but several factors around his fight make him irritating. [[CharacterSelectForcing Peach is introduced and forced into the party]] at the start of the fight, not only forcing the player to [[DieOrFly learn an entirely new character mid-boss fight]] but also forcing Peach into using her mediocre default weapons and a preset skill tree that [[GuideDangIt is not explained to the player until after the battle]] and isn't particularly efficient for this fight. Moreover, Peach replacing a teammate means breaking up the player's current team synergy, and because the boss cutscene is presented as an ambush, the player is locked out of changing their second teammate[[note]]This is particularly frustrating if Rabbid Mario is the second teammate, as between his and Peach's Boomshots and his and Mario's Hammers, [[CloseRangeCombatant most of the party's damage output comes from close range Area of Effect attacks]], meaning that without perfect planning [[TrialByFriendlyFire the team will be hurting themselves nearly as much as the Golem]]. Also, unlike the rest of the potential party members, none of his skills work on the Golem himself.[[/note]]. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also, every new attempt requires watching the same roughly-minute-long boss cutscene]].

* CrossesTheLineTwice: One of the lines from the first verse of Tom Phan's TheHeroSucksSong essentially fat-shames Mario [[note]]''Slithering down every pipe, despite his plumb-shaped body type''[[/note]], and he directly reacts to this one. But given the nature of the song and how on-point the rest of the song is in roasting the plumber, this point is easily glossed over; the accompanying Rabbid struggling in futility to contain their laughter makes said dismissal easier. Not to mention the HypocriticalHumor caused by fact that the Phantom [[LargeAndInCharge is]] ''[[LargeAndInCharge far]]'' [[LargeAndInCharge from]] [[FatBastard in-shape himself.]]

-->''Just let me catch my breath,''\\
''Then I'll 'high C' you to DEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATH!''

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The Phantom's song is already very awesome, but the end of the first part especially stands out. After a somewhat funny part of the song, Phantom's tone [[LetsGetDangerous gets much more serious]], when he suddenly jumps into the air, and is silhouetted against the moon for a second, before swooping down dramatically and belting out one last, long note. The way the music swells in this part makes it even better!

** The username of [[https://www.youtube.com/user/rabbidluigi RabbidLuigi]], a [=YouTube=] gaming countdown maker and Let's Player, became this after the game was leaked and officially announced, given that the character features a character called "Rabbid Luigi." This is even alluded in Nathaniel Bandy's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DzhJ2G3CAo How Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Triggers You]]'', where [=YouTuber=] Rabbid Luigi says that Ubisoft stole his identity, and Rabbid would reveal years later that Ubisoft invited him to various pre-release events purely because of the coincidence.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The sheer concept was bound to invoke this: Two completely different franchises that have nothing to do with each other, the latter of which has always been a bit obscure. And that was before the gameplay reveal that it was a turn-based team strategy game with guns.

** Out of the Rabbids, Rabbid Peach has proved to have been the most divisive, with some viewing her SelfieFiend personality hilarious, while others find it grating.

** Tom Phan (or Phantom), the boss of World 3, sings a song with various namedrops to other ''Mario'' spin-offs, lampshades just about everything in the series, and does it all in a way that makes fans say "he came for Mario's life".

### Being an obscure title (the Game Boy Advance ''Raving Rabbids'', a standard ''Rayman'' platformer with antagonistic Rabbids largely overshadowed by said console titles in the mainstream consciousness);

* FandomRivalry: Between the ''Raving Rabbids'' and ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' fanbases. Oddly enough, it doesn't have much to do with whether ''Kingdom Battle'' is a quality game, and moreso whether it ''deserves'' to be as good as it is. ''Sonic'' fans find it galling that the Rabbids (whose own titles are {{Minigame Game}}s) were the ones to get a narratively interesting crossover adventure with Mario, while Sonic is stuck with the ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' series, which is nothing more than collections of sports-based minigames, most of which don't even have a plot of any kind.

** While the game's plot has been praised, there are plenty of fans who are disappointed that VideoGame/{{Rayman}} doesn't appear in the game in any way, shape or form, despite the Rabbids having began in his franchise first.

** Another [=YouTube=] related moment comes from [[Machinima/SuperMarioGlitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'s take on the game in his ''Stupid Mario'' series, where [[spoiler:Wario takes over a Rabbid version of the Mushroom Kingdom and makes an army of Wario Rabbids]]. Guess who has a Rabbid counterpart in the real game?

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Oh, how people mocked this game before release. ''Nobody'' liked the game when it was first leaked, due to a long-standing grudge against the Rabbids for overshadowing Rayman. Even beyond that, the idea of this crossover being a TurnBasedTactics game of all things made this game come across as a weird fever dream. After its formal unveiling (and especially after its release) however, the game was praised for its surprisingly deep gameplay mechanics, music, and humor, with many reviewers urging readers and viewers not to overlook the title. The game would go on to be one of the best-selling third-party games on the system, and would even remain as [[https://nintendoeverything.com/best-selling-third-party-games-for-switch/ THE best-selling one in the United States]] for almost two months after its release.

* SpiritualLicensee: After it was leaked, fans were very quick to declare ''Sparks of Hope'' as an honorary ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Super Mario Galaxy 3]]''.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Even long-time detractors of the Rabbids were eager to play this game, since they're not just doing their usual random crap for the sake of being annoying. The fact that you get to [[CatharsisFactor pummel the Rabbids silly]] helps, too.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: After the Megabug's defeat, when it decides to charged to the heroes, they all fire their weapons in PERFECT unison, destroying the Megabug for good.
