Building off the base of the first game, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope piles on a ton of extra things to do in each world. There are battles, of course, but also a host of things to do and find in each of the overworlds. From side quests to finding Sparks, Planet Keys, and even Secret Zone challenges, it will take a good deal of effort to complete each one. Thankfully, the game provides a handy percentage meter, so you can see how close you are to doing everything there is in a given world.

What You Need

  • Reach 99% completion for any or all worlds

  • Complete each world's Secret Zone challenge

However, even after getting all the Sparks, Planet Keys, memories, and quests, you may still find yourself stuck at 99% completion and not know why. This isn't a bug, but the game won't tell you what that last percentage point is related to. If you're confused as to why you can't hit 100% completion in a world in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, here's the last thing you need to do.

How to get 100% completion

After you've done everything the game asks you to in a given world in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and find yourself only at 99% completion, there's one task left to do. Again, the game will never tell you what it is, but it is related to the Secret Zone challenge.

Step 1: Return to a world you've at least completed the Secret Zone challenge in.

Step 2: Access the Secret Zone challenge a second time to begin it again, this time with a time limit.

Step 3: Beat the Secret Zone challenge within the time limit to unlock a special weapon skin.

Step 4: This will reward you with the final 1% you need to complete the world.

Step 5: Repeat for all five Secret Zone challenges.

You don’t need a Switch to play Mario Kart. This YouTube video somehow lets you join the race.
Someone smuggled Rainbow Road into YouTube, and it kind of works

A pair of creators has found a way to make YouTube more than just a video streaming experience. You can now play Mario Kart inside it. Atlas Arcade and Animated Subtitles have created a fan-made interactive video that lets desktop users drive through Rainbow Road using keyboard controls.

It lasts just over a minute and offers a stripped-down version of the familiar kart-racing experience, yet the technical trickery behind it is far more interesting than its size suggests. This is not an official Nintendo release or a complete browser port of Mario Kart. It is a YouTube video twisted into behaving like a game, and that may be even cooler.

Additionally, the gaming arm is letting go of four studios, including Ninja Theory, which developed the smash hit Senua series of games. Notably, the company assures that none of the first-party games that have already been announced will be affected or cancelled.

Google executive ports Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour to iPhone and Mac using Claude
A classic PC RTS is now running natively on iPhone, and Claude helped make it happen

AI-powered game development has recently been blamed for flooding app stores with low-effort mobile games, but every now and then, the technology produces a far more interesting result. Google lead product and design executive Ammar Reshi says he used Fable 5 to port Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour to the iPhone and iPad.

This is not an emulator or a cloud-streamed version. According to Reshi’s GitHub page, the actual 2003 game engine has been compiled natively for ARM64 and runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The project uses EA’s GPL source release and builds on existing community work, while adding the iOS and iPadOS port.
