Rayman in the Phantom Show

Rayman in the Phantom Show is the third and final DLC of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, released on August 30, 2023. This DLC takes place after the events of the main story and involves Rayman joining forces with Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach, and Beep-0 in the Space Opera Network and help the Phantom clear the studio of Darkmess.

Plot
Rayman arrives at the Space Opera Network with a rocket after receiving a golden ticket inviting him to the network. However, shortly after arriving, he encounters a Stooge and affirms he had a bad feeling about the invitation, suspecting a Rabbid was behind it. In the lobby, Rayman meets Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach, who he is initially uneasy with until Beep-0 assures him that these particular Rabbids are heroes. The Phantom soon arrives, who Beep-0 and the Rabbids recognize as their enemy from Spooky Trails, although the Phantom claims he was under the Megabug's influence and has now changed for the better. The Phantom requests the heroes' help in getting rid of Darkmess in three studio sets and boosting the network's viewership.

Once the heroes purge the Darkmess from the Western Set, Pirate Set, and Medieval Set, the Phantom invites them to a party in his control room out of gratitude for saving the network. However, the Phantom reveals that he had been plotting revenge for his defeat in Spooky Trails. He used the heroes to get rid of the Darkmess in the studio so he could broadcast it and draw power from the viewership. The heroes enter a final battle with the Phantom, who sings a song at Rayman insulting him for losing his fame to the Rabbids, and then insults Beep-0, Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach. By turning off the stage lights, the heroes eventually defeat the Phantom for good.

Rayman expresses it was nice to fight alongside Rabbids for once, and decides to remain in the Space Opera Network to supervise the Rabbids who are trying to do good, while Beep-0, Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach use a warp portal to return to the Mushroom Kingdom. As they part ways, Rabbid Peach gives Rayman a Mario Cap, while Rayman gives the Rabbids a copy of his hoodie.

Gameplay
Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach play identically to how they do in the main game, although their Skill Trees are shortened to incorporate multiple upgrades in one slot. All Sparks from the main game and The Last Spark Hunter are available from the start, along with two new Sparks Selfie and Cryoquake. Rayman cannot equip Sparks, although he does has two costume abilities which give him exclusive Techniques and enhance his basic attacks. Level 10 is the heroes' maximum level and level 3 is the Sparks' maximum level.

After the first completion of a battle past the "Golden Ticket to Fame" main Quest (with the exceptions of the "Space Opera Network Drifting Gateway" Quest and the battle with the Phantom), a ratings cutscene will play, in which the Phantom observes and comments on increased ratings for the Space Opera Network. The ratings meter on the right side of the screen will increase with each battle won. After all possible battles have been cleared, the meter will reach its peak, and the ratings for the Space Opera Network will reach their full potential. After the Phantom's defeat, Rayman takes his place instead.
