00:04I'm Xavier Manzanares, I'm the lead producer of Mario Plus Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
00:08And I'm Davide Soliani, Creative Director.
00:11We're super excited to show today the co-op mode that will push the player into new strategies and tactics.
00:25So the co-op campings can be accessed through the Buddy Dome in the Peach Castle,
00:29one of the several rabbilatories created by the Rabbids throughout the game.
00:33We wanted to challenge the player in a series of battles.
00:37Each of these co-op challenges have different objectives,
00:40whether you have to reach areas, defeat a specific number of enemies, or escort Todd into death.
00:47So let's try this one. Of course we have different levels of difficulty,
00:51depending on your progression in the game and the power level of your characters.
00:55So these co-op battles are for two players.
00:57Each player selects a team of two characters, as they will have to work together to complete the objectives of
01:02the battle.
01:02This should open up new synergy and strategies for the player.
01:06Plus, the fact that you will have to communicate with your partner on the choice you make.
01:11Let's see, for this map I will choose Luigi for his great weapon range.
01:14And Rabbit Mario, as he can tank, is extremely powerful with his melee weapon.
01:19Besides, he's also my personal favorite character.
01:21I will select Peach as her protect technique will come in handy to reduce damages on Todd and Toadette.
01:27And I'll complete Xavier's team with some support by choosing Rabbit's Peach healing technique.
01:32So for the sake of this video, we already prepared a team with some options for this escort mission.
01:38So, we choose weapons not only based on their damage output, but also based on the super effect they can
01:44trigger.
01:45For example, we may not want to choose a weapon with a burn super effect, as it may bring too
01:50much chaos for the escort objective and generate a risk of damaging Todd and Toadette.
01:56Instead, I choose a weapon with a freed super effect for Peach.
02:00Also, make sure you unlock the secondary weapon as soon as you can, as it provides new tactical advantages depending
02:08on the situation.
02:09For example, for Rabbit's Peach we can have a sentry which explodes near the enemies with an area of effect,
02:16and potentially trigger honey damage to reduce enemies' mobility.
02:21Then you also want to make sure you have all the upgrades you want in your character skill tree.
02:25For example, I improved Rabbit Mario's Magnet Dance by reducing its cooldown and extending its rehab effect.
02:34We'll see what it does during the battle.
02:36So, back to the battle where our team of heroes asked to escort Todd and Toadette in the blue and
02:41yellow zone.
02:43Let's take a look at the map before the fight.
02:47So, we can see a couple of horny covers on the left, and a couple of bounce covers on the
02:54right.
02:55So, there are many strategies here, and let's see what we could do.
02:58We could split the team into two, or we could pick a side and regroup all of our characters to
03:04clear the path.
03:04In any case, we have to protect Toad and Toadette from the enemies and heal them in case they take
03:09too much damage.
03:09So, better to leave them behind full covers.
03:11Oh, that's for sure.
03:13And if you could move Luigi on the reach area thanks to his double-thin jump and get rid of
03:19the enemies,
03:20you could have a good vantage point with his precision gun.
03:24So, I'll move Luigi to cover and get rid of this supporter.
03:27And I could get rid of the other smasher.
03:29Sure.
03:32So, I'm handing over the lead to Davide, and we can basically do this at any time until we perform
03:38all of our actions in our turn, in any order we want.
03:41And I'll move Peach to cover here.
03:44But before shooting to the smasher, I'll activate her Royal Gaze technique.
03:49A smasher charge you if you hit them during your turn.
03:53This will allow me to take him down before he gets too close and hit me.
04:00I'll use a similar tactic here.
04:03I'll activate Luigi's Steely Stare, which works the same than Peach's Royal Gaze.
04:08Then move Rabbit Mario, shoot the smasher, and let Luigi react to finish him up.
04:30So, I'll now move Toad behind a full cover.
04:34And I'll do the same with Toadette.
04:40Then I'll team jump on Peach with Rabbit's Peach to get behind the cover and shoot to the Ziggy to
04:46clean the vantage point.
04:48You can keep the sentry to counter Ziggy's react.
04:51Absolutely, that's the idea.
04:58So, we'll now skip to the animator.
05:17So, many Ziggy's are ready to shoot us with their react.
05:23Let's use Rabbit's Peach Sentry to lure them and eliminate the one behind the honey cover.
05:40We should clear a path through the honey covers and focus our efforts there.
05:44That's one way to do it.
05:46So, I can dash the Ziggy and place Rabbit's Peach here.
05:51So, maybe you can use her later to team jump.
05:54I'll move Toadette here behind the full cover.
05:58So, first I'll send Luigi on the vantage point by using his double team jump as planned.
06:11Then I can shoot the Ziggy, but with my sentry I could even get both.
06:15Go, yeah! Go, yeah!
06:25Now, with Rabbit Mario I can jump over Rabbit Peach and one-shot the supporter with the hammer.
06:39I'll finish my actions by placing Todd at cover next to Toadette.
06:44I can now use Peach Healing Team Jump by jumping Rabbit Mario and reach almost everybody.
06:54So, I can finish off this Ziggy here.
07:00And that will be the end of our turn.
07:03Yeah, and there's only one Ziggy remaining in the bottom left, I believe.
07:10So, let's move Luigi here so I can have a clear line of sight to the oncoming smashers.
07:16And...
07:17And I forgot the Ziggy's reaction shot.
07:20Okay, I'll take the pipe with Rabbit Mario.
07:25Dash the Ziggy on the way and destroy him with the boom shot.
07:33That's a bit overkill.
07:35I know.
07:36So, the area is clear. I can now move Toad.
07:44As well.
07:44So, I can now move Toadette as well.
07:48Then use Rabbit Peach to Team Jump over Rabbit Mario and join Luigi.
08:01And same with Peach.
08:03So, the Healing Team Jump will replenish Luigi's life.
08:15Yeah, it's quite powerful.
08:16So, now I'll be able to shoot the Smasher.
08:18Off.
08:19Stop!
08:30I'm in a good position to use the Ichi Feet technique at the beginning of the next turn.
08:37So, I don't have a clear line of sight with Peach.
08:41I'll have to use her Granamax instead.
08:51New Smashers are chasing us and four more enemies are ready to spawn.
08:57Time to activate Luigi's Ichi Feet and boost everyone's movement range.
09:02Let's go!
09:11Then I start to deal with the Smasher on top of Luigi's Sentry.
09:22And as Toad can now reach the pipe, let's put him on cover here.
09:30Before moving to that, I'll first send a Sentry towards the Smasher.
09:35So, they may be honing.
09:41Then I dash the Smasher and get within range to use her healing techniques.
09:47Just in case.
09:55And I left Toad to join Toad.
10:01So, Toad and Toad here are exposed to the incoming wave of enemy.
10:07I believe it's time to use the Protect technique with Peach.
10:12For even more safety, I can move Rabbit Mario here and activate his shield.
10:19Which I should have done before, you activated your Protect technique.
10:28As everybody is in good shape, I will keep Rabbit's Peach heel for the next turn.
10:35So, we just need to keep Toad and Toadette from any harm in this turn and we win.
10:42So, first I'm going to activate Luigi's Steely Stare.
10:46Now I'll move Rabbit Mario here and dash the Smasher on the way.
10:59And activate Magnet Dance, which will attract all the nearby enemies and force them to move towards Rabbit Mario.
11:08Now I can use his hammer to hit them with the Aria effect.
11:16It's a bit short for Toad and Luigi's Ichi Feet technique is still on cooldown.
11:21Let's place him here for now.
11:23And as I don't have really a good clear line of sight with Luigi, I'll need to move him here
11:28so we can shoot the Smasher.
11:30And now I'll get to that closer too.
11:36Let's place Peach there and activate her Royal Gaze.
11:40She should be able to stop the enemies that will spawn without risking to hurt her allies with her Boom
11:46Shot.
11:48No need to move Rabbit's Peach. I'll use her Elite Techniques, just in case.
12:06So that's it, we just have to move Toad and Toadette in their respective zones and...
12:11That will complete the map.
12:13Exactly.
12:20So we hope you had a good glimpse of what co-op is all about.
12:23It's a mix between action techniques, doing combos with four heroes and two players.
12:28Thanks Evide.
12:29Thanks a lot, Xavier.
12:30And we can't wait to see what you guys will think of in terms of combo and setups.
12:35See you there.
12:39Here we go!
12:48Here we go!
