In-game, he is described as a '''Brawler''' with great offense and mobility, but poor defense. His primary weapon is a Boomshot, and his secondary weapon is a Melee, making him effective at close-range combat and area attacks. His "Boom Dash" allows him to create shockwaves when he dashes into a foe, harming anyone (enemy or ally) within the blast radius for a percentage of the damage inflicted on his main target. His special abilities include Bodyguard, a barrier that reduces the damage he takes from movement-based attacks (such as Dashes or Ground Pounds), and Magnet Dance, which forces enemies within its range to move toward Rabbid Mario. His Magnet dance can also be used with "line-of-sight techniques" as well as other forced movement abilities or weapons that have a high chance of inflicting Burn, Push, or Bounce to force nearby enemies out of hiding and deal extra damage. His Bodyguard ability can also be used with Peach's Protection ability to reduce damage Rabbid Mario takes from both movement-based damage and weapon-based damage. His Boom Dash can also be used in tandem with Mario's M-power to increase damage.

Rabbid Mario again appears in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. He now wields a weapon called the Dukes,<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/mario-plus-rabbids-sparks-of-hope-gold-edition-switch|title=''Mario + Rabbids® Sparks of Hope Gold Edition'' for Nintendo Switch|publisher=Nintendo Official Site|language=en-us|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> which are two steel gauntlets that produce shockwaves so that it can even hit enemies behind cover. His technique is Counter Blow, which will trigger if an enemy attacks Rabbid Mario.<ref>{{cite|url=www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/mario-rabbids/sparks-of-hope/news-updates/54KqtyUg25UlrGQ20LC0ga/mario-rabbids-sparks-of-hope-a-deep-dive-into-combat-and-hero-archetypes|title=Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: a deep dive into combat and hero archetypes|publisher=Ubisoft|language=en-us|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> He is also now voiced by David Gasman and speaks in a stereotypical Italian-Brooklyn accent, even shouting "Mamma mia!" at [[Rabbid Luigi]] after he collides into him during the transition to the team's first battle.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Shirrako|date=September 22, 2022|url=youtu.be/8dLoY0aHgRo|title=''MARIO + RABBIDS SPARKS OF HOPE'' Gameplay Walkthrough Part 1 - Story Mode (Full Demo) Nintendo Switch|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=September 24, 2022}}</ref>

When the Rabbids were brought to the Mushroom Kingdom, they were all falling down, including [[Beep-0]], who tried to stop them earlier. Rabbid Mario somehow got frozen in a block of ice and has presumably fallen to [[Sherbet Desert]]. He is not seen again until Mario and his friends reach there.

While exploring the Sherbet Desert, the heroes come across [[Toad]], who is looking for [[Toadette]], whom the heroes have talked to when they entered. Toad then asks the heroes to reunite the two, which irritates Beep-0. As a reward for helping them, Toad shows the heroes Rabbid Mario, who is still frozen like he was earlier. After some battles, Toad and Toadette are reunited, and Mario and Co. defeat [[Bowser Jr.]]'s last-second reinforcements, [[Blizzy]] and [[Sandy]]. After the two are defeated, Rabbid Mario thaws out of his ice block and meets Mario. He then plays his mandolin to the tune of [[Ground BGM (Super Mario Bros.)|the main theme]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros]]'', and the two instantly bond. Rabbid Mario then joins the heroes on their adventure.

As the heroes make their way across [[Spooky Trails]] and the [[Lava Pit (Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle)|Lava Pit]], they eventually defeat the [[Megabug]], who has possessed [[Bowser]], known as [[MegaDragonBowser]]. All of the heroes use their weapons to defeat the separated Megabug and destroy it for good, saving the Mushroom Kingdom.

====''The Last Spark Hunter''====

In the [[The Last Spark Hunter]] DLC, Rabbid Mario joins the other heroes to save the [[Melodic Gardens]] after learning it has gone silent.

 

In the [[Rayman in the Phantom Show]] DLC, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach, and Beep-0 receive golden ticket invitations to the [[Space Opera Network]], where they ally with [[Rayman]]. They are all tasked by the [[Phantom (character)|Phantom]] to save all three sets from [[Darkmess]]. While in the [[Western Set]], Rabbid Mario calls [[Bravado|Sydney Rabbidwhacker]] a "sidewindin', dry-gulchin' lunkheaded, mangy, no-good, yellow-bellied, barrel-boardin' polecat", before asking about his next line. After the Phantom betrays the heroes, they defeat him in battle. Before returning to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], a sorrowful Rabbid Mario hugs Rayman, and receives Rayman's gift. After the credits end, a photo shows Rabbid Mario with the other heroes (except Bowser) see Mario holding Rayman's gift - a copy of his hoodie.

 

Rabbid Mario is playful, mischievous, curious, and reckless, similarly to most Rabbids. He likes mimicking Mario, and tends to show-off his strength. He is fearless, flamboyant, adventurous, and will not back down from a challenge.<ref name=figurine>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20170919163840/http://store.ubi.com/anz/mario-%2B-rabbids-kingdom-battle--rabbid-mario-3--/5927f3726b54a472658b4570.html|title=Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Rabbid Mario 3'' - ANZ_Ubisoft|publisher=Ubisoft|language=en|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> Rabbid Mario seems to have an ear for music as he plays his mandolin and performs his own version of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' theme song. This can also be recognized in his victory animation, which has him strum a small tune that resembles that of losing a life in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', as well as some of his voice clips used in-game, which reference the 'Lose a Life' and '1-UP' jingles from ''Super Mario Bros.''

''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope'' expands more on Rabbid Mario's personality. He is shown to be more boisterous and takes great pride in his strength and appearance as seen several times throughout the game. Rabbid Mario is also somewhat of a hopeless romantic, as he tries to woo Edge several times and fails. Unlike Mario, he tends to be more underappreciated but still remains loyal to his comrades.
