Sparks of Hope loosens the grid structure and pushes the series toward broader exploration, making fights feel more fluid and less board-like than Kingdom Battle. It is a sequel that clearly wants to justify its own existence beyond 'more of that worked last time.'

Example
Edge and the Sparks system help the sequel feel like it is building its own tactics identity rather than just remixing Mario references.

Why it matters
It matters because it shows this unlikely crossover growing into a legitimate sub-franchise with its own design momentum.
