Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Donkey Kong Adventure

2018 saw my return to Ubisoft Paris, to work on the Donkey Kong Adventure DLC for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Released in June 2018 and developed jointly by Ubisoft Paris and Ubisoft Milan, the expansion drops Rabbid Peach, Donkey Kong, and Rabbid Cranky into a new Donkey Kong Country-inspired world with fresh enemies, puzzles, and tactical combat.

I handled puzzle audio to ensure clear feedback for block-moving and switch-based challenges, contributed to weapon sounds, and worked on boss fight audio to give each encounter its own dramatic weight.

Like in the main game, the DLC’s levels also feature 3D positioned musical elements playing along to the background music through an in-house system that reads MIDI melodies and syncs them to Wwise’s interactive music engine. One of these musical props is the jungle’s toucans cawing along to Grant Kirkhope’s soundtrack. The result is a small, playful detail that makes the island feel alive.
