The Desert Riptides

The Desert Riptides is a Darkmess Puddle battle in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, located on the planet Barrendale Mesa. This battle is part of the Main Quest It's an Ill Wind that Blows.

Not long after arriving at Barrendale Mesa, this Darkmess Puddle blocks the way, and must be cleared out in this battle. This battle introduces a new Wildclaw variant: the Riptide. They are similar to Wildclaws, but they get stronger with each attack they take, until their rage reaches maximum. When they attack, they lose their anger, and they cause the Splash Super Effect with their attacks. The heroes must defeat all of the Riptides to win the battle.

The battlefield is of a medium size, with four points of high ground at the north, south, east, and west parts of the battlefield. There are many barrels contain Super Effects around the battlefield: the lower barrels have Gust, while the higher barrels have Shock.
