Enter modder Rose (and contributors on Nexus Mods/GBAtemp). They reverse-engineered the game’s timing engine to create a mod that properly decouples the frame rate from the game logic.
What the mod actually does:
Inside the mod folder, you’ll find FPSUnlocker.ini. Open it with Notepad. For a high-quality 60 FPS experience, use these settings:
[FPS] TargetFrameRate = 60 FixPhysics = true FixCutscenes = true
[Quality] DisableDynamicResolution = true IncreaseShadowCascades = true RemoveLODPop = truemario rabbids sparks of hope 60 fps modrar high quality
Pro tip: If you have a 144Hz monitor, set TargetFrameRate = 144 but test first. Some puzzle timings (e.g., the rotating beam sections in Palette Prime) can feel too responsive above 120 FPS.

Even with the Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 60 FPS mod high quality preset, you may encounter issues. Here is how to fix them:
Disclaimer: This is for the PC version (Ubisoft Connect or Steam). Modifying game files is safe, but always back up your saves.
I tested this on an RTX 3080 / i7-12700K at 1440p. The result: locked 60 FPS with 0.1% lows of 57 FPS during the barrages of the final boss fight. Pro tip: If you have a 144Hz monitor,
The catch: Cutscenes. The mod tries to fix pre-rendered cinematics, but a few (specifically the intro sequence and the final credits) will stutter. Just tap the Scroll Lock key (default hotkey) to toggle the mod off briefly, then on again.
When Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope launched in 2022, it was universally praised for its tactical depth, orchestral score, and vibrant worlds. However, for performance enthusiasts and PC gamers running the game via emulation (specifically on Yuzu or Ryujinx), there was one glaring limitation: the 30 FPS cap.
While 30 frames per second is serviceable for a turn-based tactics game, the fluidity of 60 FPS transforms the experience. The camera pans become buttery smooth, character animations feel weightier, and the chaotic spark-powered battles gain a new level of visual clarity.
Thanks to the dedicated modding community, the Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 60 FPS mod high quality preset is now available. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know: what it is, how to install it, and how to achieve the highest visual fidelity without breaking your frame rate.
Fix: This is usually a VRAM overload. The High Quality preset uses roughly 6GB of VRAM. Lower your texture filtering from "High" to "Normal" in your GPU control panel.
