It's an Ill Wind that Blows is a Main Quest in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, located on the planet Barrendale Mesa. It is the first Main Quest of the planet, with the other Main Quest being Momma's Payback.

In this Main Quest, the heroes arrive on the planet Barrendale Mesa, and meet the Warden for the planet, Momma. She tells the heroes that there is an electrical storm, which is caused by a Darkmess Tentacle. This also made the Windmill malfunction, causing the power to be lost at Momma's Garage. The heroes must venture to the Windmill and clear out the Darkmess Tentacle, which will restore the windmill, as well as for the power to return to Momma's Garage, which will allow Momma to create the Shield Buster for the heroes. The heroes also obtain a Purified Darkmess Energy Crystal.

History
When the heroes arrive on Barrendale Mesa, there is an electric storm that prevents the WM ARC spaceship from landing, and so the heroes, along with Beep-0, must jump out and skydive. When they reach the ground, they meet Momma, Warden and mechanic of the planet. She tells the heroes that her garage has lost power due to the Windmill malfunctioning, caused by a Darkmess Tentacle. This catastrophe also created the electric storm. Momma also tells them that if they restore the Windmill and get rid of the storm, the power will return, allowing Momma to create the Shield Buster for the heroes. JEANIE cannot make contact with the heroes because of the storm, but has provided a Teleport Probe to return to the WM ARC at any time.

The heroes set off for the Windmill, but a Darkmess Puddle blocks the way. The heroes clear it out in a battle, and reach to the Windmill Area. Not long after entering, another Darkmess Puddle prevents access, and the heroes also remove this Darkmess Puddle. While exploring the Windmill area, Momma makes contact with the heroes with transmissions from Beep-0, telling them to fix circuits, and to use the crane to help them reach the Darkmess Tentacle. The heroes must drop down a ladder on top of the crane, and must take a path to reach to it. Along the way, yet another Darkmess Puddle interrupts the journey, and once again the heroes emerge victorious, rescuing the Spark Gargantu-fan in the process.

The heroes then enter the Rabbid pipe area, where they fix another circuit and reach to the top of the crane, lowering the ladder, allowing them to reach to the Darkmess Tentacle. The heroes clear it out, and obtain a Purified Darkmess Energy Crystal. The Windmill is then restored, the electrical storm disappears, and power returns to Momma's Garage. JEANIE then appears and shows concern for the heroes, making Beep-0 curious that she is developing emotions. Momma then contacts the heroes, congratulating them, and telling them to return to her garage, as well as to receive cucumber water and pimento cheese sandwiches. JEANIE finds the message odd, but Beep-0 just tells her that Momma is happy. Edge also thinks about this strange message.
