The title has also been in the spotlight for its first downloadable content, a ponderous installment named Cursed Tower. This expansion is exclusive to Season Pass holders and introduces a new narrative thread. Mario, Rabbid Peach, and their allies step into a mysterious tower, encounter the enigmatic owner Madame Bwahstrella, and work to capture Cursa’s minions before ascending to the tower’s summit. The quest deepens longtime relationships and pushes players toward new encounters and challenges as they reconnect with old companions like Spawny.

In this mode that emphasizes combat strategy, players face procedurally generated battles as they work toward reaching the upper levels. The party begins with four heroes, and Sparks are drawn from a broad roster, ensuring every run feels fresh. Exploration continues to shape team growth, with players refining their tactics on the fly and adapting to evolving encounters. Victory unlocks new expeditions, each with higher difficulty and fresh cosmetic rewards that celebrate progress and achievement.
