The soundtrack was absolutely amazing and without a doubt is my favorite soundtrack of any game ever. Each new world was completely unique and I often caught myself just looking around at this totally immersive world that Nintendo dropped me into. People often underestimate the Nintendo switch but, the game looked amazing. Some of the more intangible things in the game are the visuals and the soundtrack. Which throws a bit of nostalgia into the mix. My personal favorite is the Nintendo 64 costume. You can also mix and match hats with other outfits you collect to make your own unique Mario outfit. Each costume is unique and adds a zest of freshness to the game with each one you unlock. There are so many costumes in the game and it’s so fun to collect them all. My favorite part of the game has to be the costumes in Mario. When you collect these moons you can go to the dark side, then the darker side, then when you get 999 moon’s a hat gets put on top of peach’s castle and the balloon on top of the odyssey turns gold. After you beat the game, it gives you a ton of more moons to collect. The odyssey is powered by power moons which you get by finding them around the map, beating bosses, completing puzzles and buying them.Īnother great thing about the game is that it has great replay ability value. You use your ship, the Odyssey, to hunt down Bowser and his wedding planners which were new to this game. The plot of a game is the usual deal, you have to save princess peach who’s been kidnapped by Bowser.
You’re always discovering something to do to get some more precious fuel for your ship. There’s also so much stuff to uncover in each world. There’s no linear way to do things and the game let’s the player play the way he wants to. One of the best parts of the game is how open it is. I always got excited when I saw one of these because it was great to look at and fun to play in. There are also some cubic looking pipes that when you go in them turn you into a retro 8-bit Mario and throw you into a 2-D section. The game doesn’t stay on one new idea too long before giving you a new creature to master. Each enemy has its own special abilities like how Goombas can be stacked on top of each other, Bowser can smash through rocks, and hammer bros can jump extra high as well as of course, throw hammers. The way that you throw your hat onto enemies to become is used perfectly in the game. The best way to describe the game is innovative. You then defeat Bowser and save the Princess and Tiara to complete the main game. After you travel through all of the worlds you then need to go to the moon kingdom, which, appropriately, is on the moon. The ship runs on power moons which you get by completing puzzles, beating bosses, and plenty of exploration.
The Odyssey is a hat shaped ship the Mario and Cappy use to fly to the various kingdoms.
These are the Broodals, the new enemies in the game.īut, both the Broodals and Bowser have their own airships, so how does Mario get around? This is where the Odyssey comes in. The Broodals’ goal is to collect wedding themed artifacts from the various kingdoms so they can set up the union of Bowser and Peach. Cappy and Mario journey through many diverse kingdoms to try and catch Bowser as well as stop the Broodals. Mario and Cappy decide to team up to save the Princess as well as Cappy’s sister Tiara who’s also been taken by Bowser. Cappy is a ghost like hat creature, and when Mario throws him onto the head of an enemy you’re able to take control of it or “Capture” it. Bowser knocks you off his ship and you fall into a black and white top hat themed world where you meet Cappy. Super Mario Odyssey starts with a battle on Bowser’s airship where he’s captured Princess Peach Tiara. The game has been out for a bit over a year but I just got the game a little bit ago. It was, in many ways, meant to rival Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy as the best 3D Mario game of all time. Super Mario Odyssey was released on October 17, 2017.
