History YMMV / MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: After The MegaBug is defeated, he raises into the sky, the viewers can get a look at everyone, Mario, Luigi, peach, Yoshi, even the Rabbids themselves glaring at the Megabug. it shows the reality of [[OddFriendship unlikely allies]] now comrades in-arms. As the Megabug dives down onto the gang for a last-ditch effort to attack them, They all fired their weapons in perfect unison vanquishing the Megabug for good.

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

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:The Megabug jumps over this when it possesses Bowser, then decides to destroy everything]].

** 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, continuously mocks Mario, and does it all in a way that's making fans say that "he came for Mario's life".

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: After the Megabug's defeat Mario and the game get out their weapons, ready to to give the Megabug the finishing blow. The sheer reality of unlikely heroes becoming allies is such a sight to see. And when the Megabug charges at them, they all fired their weapons in perfect unison.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Downplayed, as they're minor allusions, but the game does reference some modern meme culture, such as Luigi doing the "dab" maneuver.

* WinTheCrowd: Before E3 2017, the rumors of this game were met with a constant stream of "What were they thinking?". After E3 2017, the game was given a lot more positive reception and hype, with many citing this game as a highlight of Ubisoft's press conference as a whole.

** The opera sung by the Phantom. But, really, the soundtrack is composed by Grant Kirkhope of classic Rareware fame, so it's hardly surprising that it'd be awesome. The fact that it's performed by a {{classical music}} orchestra (specifically, the City of Prague Philharmonic) rather than an in-studio band also helps lend a feeling of epic scope to the whole score.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Shown in Sherbet Desrt when Bowser calls Jr on his cell phone, asking him if he did his chores.

* Shoutout: The Wrecking Smasher artowkr resembles Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball music video.
** In Thorny Ville, when a Rabbid is seen sleeping ontop of a structure that resembles a doghouse, Beep-0 comments that "He'll catch the Red Baron one of these days" ,showing that's a refrence to Snoopy's Flying Ace persona.
** After the Icicle Golem's defeat, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Luigi, Or Rabbid Peach will play with its' head in a manner similar to the "Alas Poor Yorrick" scene from Hamlet.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Oh, how people jeered and 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 [[https://nintendoeverything.com/best-selling-third-party-games-for-switch/ THE best-selling one in the United States]] as of May 2019).

** Rabbid Porn.[[labelnote:Explanation]]During both the reveal of the original game and its sequel, the reveal of there being Rabbids cosplaying as Peach and Rosalina respectively led to many predicting an influx of RuleThirtyFour featuring them. Taken UpToEleven with the Goth Rabbid, also from the sequel.[[/labelnote]]

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:The Megabug jumps over this when it possesses Bowser, then decides to destroy everything]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Really, a ''Mario'' and ''Rabbids'' crossover was always going to get this reaction, and that's ''before'' we saw what the game was going to be like.

* FandomRivalry: The production of this game has caused a dispute between the ''Rabbid'' and ''Sonic'' fanbases. ''Kingdom Battle'' represents a narratively interesting adventure with Mario while ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' represents a sports minigame-based CasualVideoGame with little to no plot.

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

** The Megabug. Is it a very subtle Chessmaster and a good case of a KnightOfCerebus or just a GenericDoomsdayVillain that's nowhere near as enjoyable as other villains from the ''Mario'' franchise?

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Depending on the fan, [[spoiler:the Megabug could either be a GenericDoomsdayVillain or an ''incredibly'' subtle [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] instead, with how defeating Rabbids powers it up, and how it corrupted them in the first place, despite not demonstrating anything that could be construed as sapience, being presented as more of an animalistic creature within the story itself. The fanbase is very split as to what the Megabug is really like]].

** More than a few commentators have noted similarities with ''VideoGame/CodeNameSteam'', given that both games involve limited movement range per turn dominated by ranged attacks and strange concepts to them (''Steam'' being a game where Abraham Lincoln leads a team including John Henry, Tiger Lily, and the Lion from ''[[Literature/LandOfOz The Wizard of Oz]]'' against ''Lovecraft''-esc aliens, while ''Rabbids Kingdom Battle'' has Mario teaming up with the Rabbids in a {{world gone mad}}).

** Due to the Rabbids as being most of the focus in the story and constituting 95% of the enemy roster, it seemed like there was no way to incorporate any characters from the ''Mario'' franchise as enemies on the battlescape. Magikoopas, Hammer Bros, and Fire Bros. are just a few examples that are very eligible and would've made for some interesting opposition.
** Despite the Donkey Kong Adventure DLC taking place on Donkey Kong Island, none of the characters from the VideoGame/DonkeyKong series appear anywhere in the mode, not even Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong's main partner or Cranky Kong appear, despite there being a major rabbid character dressed as the latter.
