Once Rosalina freed herself from Cursa's control, its true form is revealed. It is a floating purple entity with a face that has a mask with a close resemblance to a Rabbid.

Biography

Spoiler warning : Don't you even dare read the spoiler! Because if you do… Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoooooo… A horrible fate awaits you.

Cursa was once Megabug. Megabug was defeated in the process by Mario and his team. Despite being defeated, Megabug's fragment remained as it floated through the galaxy. As it merged with the stellar debris, it regained it feelings. With a desire to grow, it consumed light energies from the galaxy leading to the rebirth of Cursa.

Cursa was intrigued by the powers of the light energy produced by the Lumas' joy with the Rabbids that they was drawn to the Comet Observatory. While approaching the observatory, it masked its presence that Rosalina could not sense its arrival. When Rosalina noticed Cursa's arrival at the last moment, they shielded the Lumas and Rabbids from Cursa. While the Rabbids and Lumas were saved, resulted the Rabbids and Lumas to merge into Sparks. In the meantime, Rosalina merged with Cursa. Despite Cursa being able to control Rosalina, it can feel her rebelling against the union in hopes of counting on Mario and his crew to save her and the Sparks. Cursa's goal is to gather the Sparks and absorb their energy to crush Rosalina's will. Cursa then created an army consisting of corrupt Rabbids, brainwashed minions of Bowser and Spark Hunters.

Spoiler ends here: You looked! Even if I told you not too!

Sparks of Hope

While the Rabbids, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Luigi and Beep-0 were chatting in the Mushroom Kingdom, Starburst and the Sparks signalled for help to the crew as the Darkmess invades the kingdom. The Darkmess grabs into Rabbid Peach leading to the events of Mario, Starburst and Beep-0 attempting to rescue her and escape out of the Darkmess.

"That vicious HORRIBLE monster is CURSA!!! We barely escaped it - now it won't stop chasing us!!"

—Starburst to Mario, Rabbid Peach and Beep-0

Mario, Beep-0 and Rabbid Peach encountered Cursa. It brainwashes the Goombas into attacking the crew. While the crew fought the Goombas, a WM ARC rescued them and escaped before Cursa does any harm.

"I NEED the energy of those creatures! Bring them to ME!"

—Cursa to the Spark Hunters

Much to Cursa's anger, it commands the Spark Hunters to bring the Sparks to Cursa.

In Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

Cursa makes its appearance against Mario, Beep-0 and Rabbid Peach. The player cannot fight against Cursa, but against the Goombas it brainwashes.

Battle

Cursa appears as the final boss of Sparks of Hope. It has three phases for its defeat. The battle against Cursa is fought with the entire party being available, albeit with three on each battlefield.

Phase 1

The first phase of the battle pits the gang against Cursa's arms. These arms will float over one target, counterattacking Team Jumps and attempts to jump from jump pads, but their main weakness is the spikes that can be spawned from using said jump pads. If it tries to attack someone who positions themself near said spike, the Astral Arm will take damage rather than actually attacking.

Phase 2

Cursa is fought in phase 2, where their body can be targeted. Cursa's attacks include an energy beam that can cause Exhaustion.

Phase 3

During this phase of the fight, Rosalina will break free of Cursa's control. She reforms her body and generates three gargantuan copies of her wand, which hover in between Cursa and the heroes. Attacking the wands will grant energy to the wands passed over to Rosalina; the stronger the attack, the greater the boost. The wands will reach their maximum charge after around 6000 to 7000 damage's worth of energy. Cursa still uses the energy beam from before. When Rosalina's gauge is fully charged, she will use the energy to attack Cursa.
