"Jump Up, Super Star!" just came up for me as background music while I was playing Smash Bros. so I decided to revisit this moment from Super Mario Odyssey that made me extremely emotional the first time I played it. I legitimately cried while I played it. Low and behold, I take a peek at the YouTube comments and I'm not alone!
Did anyone else have a similar experience? I wonder what gets everyone so emotional about this scene. I think it's a mix of just how pure and joyous this scene is + reminiscing on how far gaming has come since I started playing + being painfully aware of my own humanity and that Mario will live on longer than any of us will.
I'm tearing up just hearing it again.
