Tortured Artist
- “Here in Barrendale Mesa
I was doing my most important work yet, thanks to my Artist colony friends pushing me to grow. But now they've gone missing INSIDE THE DANGER ZONE! Sigh... no wonder the rent here was so cheap.” - —Gerspard, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Tortured Artist is a Spark quest in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, located on the planet Barrendale Mesa. After the heroes clear out the first Darkmess Tentacle, they can find Gerspard, who needs help finding his friends, who are Da Da and a Spark known as Scoper Master. The heroes use Beep-0's Scan Power to follow footprints leading to the Danger Zone, where Da Da is trapped in a Darkmess Puddle. After the heroes free him, he seemingly deactivates, but quickly reactivates, giving joy to Gerspard and Scoper Master. Scoper Master then joins the heroes on their adventure, and the heroes also obtain a Planet Coin.

Friends reunited
- “I don't know how to repay you friend... except to kick you out of our artist colony forever. You see, no colony can nurture and inspire you as an artist like wandering the galaxy with Heroes can.”
- —Gerspard, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
After saving Da Da, he is deactivated, causing sadness to the group. He then reactivates, much to the happiness of everyone. Gerspard thanks the heroes, and Scoper Master is encouraged by Gerspard to join the heroes, who agrees to do so. The quest is then complete, and Scoper Master joins the heroes on their adventure.
