I picked up Mario + Rabbids 2 a couple weeks after launch and played it for about 40 hours. I had an enjoyable time with it and so I went for 100% completion, except now it's impossible for me to ever fully finish the game unless I either make a new save file from the beginning or Ubisoft patches it.
The issue is as follows. In order to 100% the game's 5th world Barrendale Mesa, you need to do 2 side quests that have the following pre-requisites to unlock them.
-- a secret boss battle that requires having all 30/30 Sparks in the game to challenge it. Completing this side quest rewards a planet token.
-- a secret room that requires buying a Planet Key for 11 tokens at the game's shop to challenge it. Completing this side quest rewards a Spark.
The issue? The number of available Sparks and Planet Tokens are exact so that there's no leftover resource.
Meaning that if you save the Planet Key as the last item to buy from the shop you will have 10 tokens despite the price of the Key being 11 tokens. The only way around this was to have not bought the Planet Key last so you had enough tokens which I failed to realize was an issue. The final and 11th token I need is held by the boss that requires I have 30 Sparks to fight it.
But I can't get the 30th Spark unless I go to the secret room to get it, which only unlocks if I have the Planet Key. So I am in a state where I have 10/11 tokens and 29/30 Sparks and getting the final one of either requires having completed the opposite side quest first.
I've checked online and see that other people similarly are unable to finish this game due to this blindspot from the game designers, but the game came out a month ago and I can't find any communication from Ubisoft announcing they plan to fix this.
