10 Greatest Super Mario Spin-Offs Of All Time

Nintendo are no strangers to crossover titles but few people expected this one when it first got announced. Developed by Ubisoft with Nintendo’s supervision, it saw the Raving Rabbids crossover with Super Mario as a turn-based RPG.

Taking place within a different universe, we find a nameless inventor and her robotic assistant Beep-0 having invented the “SupaMerge Helmet”, a device that allows the wearer to merge two objects together. It’s clear that she’s a big Super Mario fan too but soon after leaving that room, Rabbids show up in their Time Washing Machine

Taking the device and some Mario merchandise, the Machine malfunctions, throwing them into the Mushroom Kingdom. Finding most Rabbids became hostile, Beep-0 meets Mario and two friendly faces, Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Luigi, determined to stop this invasion.

Reminiscent of XCOM: Enemy Unknown’s battle system, it became a surprise hit, selling over 2 million copies and later receiving a Donkey Kong-based expansion. Battles were fun but not easy, it held a lot of combat depth and its story was thoroughly enjoyable.
