Cursa was created by a fragment of the [[Megabug]], the main antagonist of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. After the fragment mutated with stellar debris, it gained sentience. It fed on the life energies of the galaxy, eventually transforming into Cursa. Later on, Cursa was drawn to the [[Comet Observatory]], where it would attack [[Rosalina]] and some [[Rabbid]]s and [[Luma]]s that were there. While Rosalina was fending off Cursa, the Rabbids and Lumas merged together to create a powerful new species, Sparks. Rosalina had also merged with Cursa. Although Cursa was in control, Rosalina tried to rebel against her. Cursa then created an army of corrupted Rabbids and controlled minions of [[Bowser]], along with the Spark Hunters to lead them.

==Battle==
{{main|Cursa!!!}}
The final battle against Cursa has three phases. In all three, the heroes are divided in three battlefields with three heroes each; [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Rabbid Rosalina]] on the first, [[Luigi]], [[Rabbid Mario]], and [[Rabbid Luigi]] on the second, and [[Bowser]], [[Edge]], and [[Rabbid Peach]] on the third. The battlefield and team of heroes changes every turn, and each battlefield also has various other enemies on it.
 
===Phase one===
For the first phase, Cursa attacks with its Astral Arms which must be destroyed. During each turn, one of the Astral Arms floats directly above one of the heroes and stays above them when they move around. If that hero or a nearby hero does a Team Jump or jumps off a trampoline, the Astral Arm grabs them and throws them back on the ground, dealing heavy damage. A hero that does not have the Astral Arm over them must jump off a trampoline to cause a giant spike to emerge in its place. The hero with the Astral Arm over them must position themselves onto this object during the enemies' turn. This cancels the Astral Arm's attack and deals damage to it.
 
===Phase two===
The heroes must attack Cursa directly for this phase. Cursa attacks by firing a beam at a hero which deals massive damage and inflicts them with the [[Exhaust]] Super effect.
 
===Phase three===
Following Cursa's defeat in the previous phase, Rosalina breaks free from its control. However, Cursa evolves into another form, and Rosalina places three projections of her wand at the end of each battlefield. The heroes must fire at the projections to fill Rosalina's power gauge, allowing her to attack Cursa. Stronger attacks can fill up more of the gauge at once. The gauge must be filled three times, the first and second to burn Cursa's wings, and the third to finish it off. Like the previous phase, Cursa attacks the heroes with a beam that causes the Exhaust Super effect, although while its wings are still active it follows up by using them to damage the heroes on the second and third battlefields.
 
Once Cursa is defeated, Rosalina uses her magic for the last time, then launches it. Then, Sparks create an arrow that can impale Cursa. Once it is nearly injured, Mario and the gang use their weapons to shoot it one last time, following Rosalina using her magic to form an arrow, thus disintegrating Cursa for good.

''There is no question that Cursa is more powerful, cunning, and relentless than any single one of us, yet together - with aid from Rosalina - it was vanquished. Still, its corrupting influence reached every corner of the galaxy, where much of it lingers still. We have stopped the Darkmess at its source, but we have much work to do if we are to remove the rest before it can cause any more harm.''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwHPF1KF82k  Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope - 100% Walkthrough Part 6 - Cursa's Stronghold & Backtracking]</ref>
