This Marsupilami section collects news, announcements and updates around Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia, released on 3 September 2026 as the sequel to 2021’s Marsupilami: Hoobadventure. The game was developed by French studio Ocellus and published by Paris-based Microids, and it is available on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and other platforms. You will find details on two-player co-op, the three playable Marsupilami characters with different abilities, and the campaign’s four main worlds: the jungle, a city, snowy mountains and the underworld. We also cover hidden levels, boss fights, combat dojos, competitive minigames and Flow Mode, a mode focused on clearing trials quickly without dying. Story coverage starts with the strange melody that makes the animals of Palombia dance uncontrollably due to the Mummy Queen’s plans, alongside notes on OpenCritic reviews comparing the game to the Donkey Kong Country series, whose Donkey Kong Country Returns uses a similar premise with the Tiki Tak Tribe hypnotising animals on Donkey Kong Island.
