Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a turn-based tactical role-playing video game developed and published by Ubisoft for the Nintendo Switch.

The game's story sees players controlling Mario, his friends and a group of Rabbids dressed as them, dealing with the aftermath of a sudden invasion by a group of Rabbids, who have accidentally misused a powerful invention that has brought chaos to the Mushroom Kingdom.

The game's story features both single-player and two-player local cooperative play, in which players lead a team of three heroes - Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi from the Mario franchise, and four Rabbids dressed as the former - through a series of worlds, with the characters wielding laser-based guns to defeat opponents.

Each stage of a world consist of a series of battles that must be completed to make progress in the story. While exploration is possible outside of battle within each world, some areas cannot be accessed until the player either solves a puzzle or backtracks later upon acquiring new abilities to interact with the environment (such as being able move blocks).

Exploration includes the ability to pick up coins in the world, and opening chest containing items that can be used in battles or be viewed later, most requiring a puzzle to be completed, though jumping is not present in the game, meaning that players must walk where it is possible and use white warp pipes to get around between some areas.

Combat is done in a turn-based format, with each side taking it in turns to move around the battlefield and take shots at an opponent. During the heroes' turn, players can choose which character to move first, and move them anywhere within their maximum movement range, whereupon the character may then target and shoot at an opponent who is in range of them.

The game features cover which reduces the chance of being hit - some cover reduces it to 50%, while others reduce it to zero - as well as damage taken, depending on which way the target is facing their attacker; both sides can flank their opponents who are using cover, while cover itself can be destroyed in later battles.

In addition to using weapons, both characters and enemies can also use special abilities to aid them in battle, including the ability to increase their defense or healing any damage received, amongst other abilities, which have a cooldown period before they can be used again.

Players also later unlock the means for characters to move further by being propelled by another character, and being able to damage enemies by making a character dash into them while moving to another spot in the battlefield. Weapons also have a chance of causing "Special Effects" to inhibit their victims. Effects such as Ink, which makes the character unable to use their projectile or special weapon, and Honey, which prevents the character from moving, last until the end of the turn unless a teammate restores them by jumping off them while equipped with an unlocked skill.

Other effects, such as Burn, which forces the victim to uncontrollably move to a different space, are caused on impact by the attack. Both the heroes and the enemies can use these Special Effects to force the opposition into vulnerable positions (e.g., out of cover).

After the player makes some progress in the story, they will be able to access Peach's castle, which acts as a hub from where the player can change which characters they have in their team, purchase additional models of weapons, look at collectibles found during their game, and revisit any world they accessed, from the start of any stage that has been completed; additional parts of the hub area become available as the player makes progress in the story.

New weapons, which varying in stats, can be purchased for characters when they become available, with coins earned from exploration, battles, and from how the player they clears each stage; the better a player does in each battle, the better the rank given for a cleared stage. It is possible to unlock weapons using various Amiibo figurines from the Mario series.

In addition to weapons, players can also improve characters by purchasing new skills through a skill tree, using skill points earned from completing battles and opening certain chests in the world, upon reaching a certain stage in the game. These enhancements include the ability to save a character from a Special Effect by jumping on them, reducing the number of turns it takes for a move to cooldown, strengthening a move's effectiveness, and increasing a character's maximum health points and area of movement.
