Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a rather big game compared to its predecessor. For the completionists out there that want to 100% the game, it's necessary to collect 30 Sparks, 45 Weapon Skins, and 72 Memories, as well as complete each side quest for all five main planets.

As players work their way to 100%ing each planet, they'll earn special skins for the playable characters' weapons. However, there are some players that have reached 99% completion for a planet but have no idea how to get 100%. Even after completing the side quests and finding all the memories, players still need to do one thing to fully complete an area, and it involves the Secret Zone challenges.

If someone is stuck at 99% for a planet, they probably have not fully completed the Secret Zone challenge. By purchasing a Planet Key from the merchant with Planet Coins, players can unlock the Secret Zone for the planet. There are five in total, and by completing each one, Sparks of Hope players will get to take home another Spark.

However, players may not be aware, but they need to go back into the Secret Zone after beating it the first time to complete a timed challenge. By doing this, players will get a special weapon skin and earn the last percentage point toward the planet's completion.
