I guess since you posses him instead of riding him but it's kind of weird to see Yoshi with his more anthropomorphic look usually reserved for spin-offs in a mainline title.

I think the dynamic resolution sometimes goes too far, you know.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT

Determined to get to that Demon's Souls kingdom, even though it's pretty much just a boss battle

Kinda funny that Mario Odyssey's "Dragon God" is more of a boss fight than the one in Demon's Souls

Yeah, next Mario Kart should dump the Koopalings and replace them with the Broodals---that's five characters instead of seven, and the Broodals seems a bit more individualized as a whole. Plus with Madame Broodal we got us a true female heavyweight and a villain.

Oh, by the way, is Nabbit referenced in this game at all? It seems weird to leave him out.

Mario beating Sonic at its own game. Damn is this a good song.

No idea about the context in which it plays, but considering what we've seen of
when Jump up, Superstar! plays
, I expect greatness.

The moment is pretty hype and awesome

Yup. After it was done, on reflection I think this might be my favourite sequence in video games ever.

I just got the close to the final sequence and I had to pause and just say this is amazing.

Possessing Bowser was obvious. But the cut scene doing it, the 8 bit sections where you breathe fire like SMB1 and at the end, the Sonic-like vocal track make it just brilliant. Seriously, I was loving every minute of it anyway, but it just took the cake

Feeling kind of overwhelmed now that I've finished the game. It seems I've unlocked a ton of extra moons in every stage and I already had more than enough to do before!

how much moons can you buy in the mushroom kingdom? Also what do we unlock for getting all the moon? I'm already a 600, but there's so much more to find...

also ingame version of jump up superstar, which i find is even better!

Guys I've finished the game and I'm in the Peach's Castle right now. What am I supposed to do after that ? Odyssey ask me 100 power moons and Peach is nowhere to be found.

Cam someone make a gif of Mario kicking Bowser at the ending cutscene with the text "so much for the tolerant left"? It was all I could think about when I saw it xD

The back to back combo of Mario Souls and Bowser's feudal Japan castle was sooooo good.
Real shame though that the Dragon place was just a boss prelude, I was getting pumped for this game's equivalent to the haunted stage being the crumbling ruins.

I think the moons lean in a direction of excess, upon hitting the postgame and you're getting a slew more in each world but marked on your map, toadette achievements and in general a number of moons just sitting there in plain sight or having a formulaic batch (grab the seeds, talk to Toad/Peach, goomba stack), ehhhhh I'm just not feeling this angle of collectathon.

I don't see Isle Delfino at all...
It's invisible. It's much easier to see what I'm talking about in-game with the globe spinning. The globe is topographically textured and the bumps and ridges on it are lit and shadowed properly. The ocean is flat. In the spot where delfino should be is an invisble bump in the shape of Isle Delfino that you can make out due to the light and shadows.

Here's a gif:

Look just northwest of Mushroom Kingdom. There's an invisible dolphin-shaped island reflecting light.

Please tell me there's a way to replay the final sequence. That gameplay plus music brought a tear of joy to my eye. I just want to replay it endlessly and I'm listening to the song during it right now.

Yup. Best moment or sequence for the year hands down. And I haven't seen a way yet, but everything else has been replayable (with a twist even!) once you find a way, so it should be able to be done.

It's an ultimate feel good ending and tonally so different from every other Mario ending. Normally you're fighting/running from Bowser while an orchestra is playing dramatic music. Here it felt uplifting with the fun music and pretty easy (with the extra health) gameplay.

I also downloaded the song from YouTube just so I could listen to it on the way to work yesterday. May have looped it for the full 45 minute walk...

'A miracle in three dimensions' is such a goofy lyric, I love it.

If you're in the post game, try the Japanese version from the music selector too. Has a different vibe to it so I prefer the English version, but I love the backing vocals of the Japanese one.

I just wanna say that long 2D sequence in Mushroom Kingdom is some bullshit. When they put you on the Galaxy-style planets, the controls are completely unpredictable, and you inevitably die multiple times just because you have no idea how to move. For a few tries, I assumed I should only be using left and right to move, but turns out that doesn't work. If you're on the side of a planet and want to move, you have to use up and down. Even knowing that, the controls are unwieldy. Completely unintuitive, and it just really doesn't work. Sticks out so much because the rest of the game has zero control issues.

Has anyone gotten 500 moons yet? I'm really hoping that's Isle Delfino as the new level.

God damn, the final sequence is one of my top gaming moments in quite some time. It just comes together so perfectly, and then that music is just 100% perfect. I hope as many people as possible can get to experience that blind like I did because dang is it beautiful.

I thought nothing could top the Jump Up, Superstar moment but then that ending happened and made me question why I ever doubted the masterminds at Nintendo.

Just finished the game, what a fucking game. My favorite Mario game of all time already. So much to do postgame too.

Special shoutout to the Festival and the Ending sequence. Absolutely insanity.

I was disappointed when it just said Darker Side of the Moon. But it being Champions Road style with the festival music playing makes me happy.

i love the game, my only disappointements are the final boss, the fact that some level are really too small, and the fact that there isn't a
Boo / Haunted mansion
level
Yea its a shame theres repeat bosses, as the original ones are excellent. The lack of boo is unforgivable ):, atleast rabbids came through with my one of my favourite boo levels.
