Moments pages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.


  • In one trailer, while everyone else is donning the appropriate reaction to Rabbid Kong, Rabbid Luigi just smiles and offers him a huge banana.
  • Mario leaping into the vortex to rescue Luigi.
  • When Mario first steps through to World 1-5 and hears Luigi's terrified 'MARIO!', he looks considerably worried.
  • In the intro when everything falls from the sky, Rabbid Peach rushes around to try and catch Rabbid Luigi. She fails of course, but it's our first sign that there's more to these Rabbids than random chaos.
    • Their whole relationship is quite sweet. They share pictures on their phone and seem to be really good friends with each other.
    • Any time Beep-0 tries to stick up for your Rabbid allies at the start of the game, really. His genuine concern over Spawny is also rather sweet, with him telling Mario he has to 'save' the Rabbid.
  • When it looks like Spawny has fallen to his death, Bowser Jr. looks legitimately hurt. Likewise, Junior is horrified the entire time when Spawny falls out of his clown car at the start of 2-8. The subsequent scene with Mario afterwards is one of the few times in the game where Junior is visibly angry.
  • At the end of World 2, Peach of all people pulls a Big Damn Heroes moment, and poses with Mario as a Battle Couple.
  • The game's ending cinematic, taking place in the rebuilt Mushroom Kingdom with the threat of the Mega Bug now long gone. Toads and Rabbids gather around to watch a new statue get revealed, which turns out is not of Princess Peach herself, but rather Rabbid Peach. The crowd goes wild and Rabbid Peach is simply overjoyed, before huddling around her allies for one more selfie.
  • Bowser Jr's genuine gratitude to Mario and stark change in demeanor after the final boss shows that he loves his father so much that the fact that his own evil plan failed seems like a minor inconvenience to him as long as his dad is safe. The ginger way he treats Spawny is also quite adorable.
  • Bowser Jr begs Mario to save his father from the Mega Bug, while also apologizing to Mario for what he had done before. Even Mario feels sympathy for Bowser Jr, as you can see from his concerned face.
