Beyond combat, the game features extensive exploration and environmental puzzles. As you traverse the vibrant worlds, keep an eye out for hidden paths, treasure chests, and collectible coins. Coins are used to purchase new weapons, while treasure chests often contain Power Orbs or new weapon skins. Puzzles typically involve moving blocks, activating switches, or using character-specific abilities (like Rabbid Peach's push ability) to clear obstacles or reach inaccessible areas. Some puzzles require you to revisit areas with newly acquired abilities. Don't rush through the exploration; taking your time can yield valuable rewards and uncover secrets that make later battles easier. The overworld is not just a path between battles; it's an integral part of the game's progression and reward system.
