Just got an email from Amazon UK.
English version of 'The Art of Super Mario Odyssey' goes on sale 5 November 2019.
God as a huge Mario junkie, I need to post MUCH more here!
Anyways, are there any challenge runs you dudes particularly like in Mario games?
I often like the no coin runs, I found this especially enjoyable (and difficult!) in New Super Luigi U and Super Mario Odyssey.
He's already apparently a licensed masseuse (per Bowser's Inside Story). If he's already got a delicate touch that belies his appearance, then why not~?Dr. Mario World looks nice and all, but would anyone really trust Bowser as a medical professional?
That's a handsome collection right there!!

I'm currently doing an All Star Coin Run on New Super Luigi U on Switch. It's tough but good fun. But I may not finish that as SMM2 comes out on Friday.
For years I've been meaning to try a no coin or no touching enemies run in 3DW, but alas haven't got around to it yet. Tried to go back to 3DW to try Champion's Road again and found I was now terrible at it. I probably should play some other levels to get reacclimated to the controls...I kept thinking I should be able to spin attack or Cappy punch.
Ninjadom, as a fellow fan of collecting things in Mario games, I implore you to not miss out on Yoshi's Crafted World of you haven't already played it. The collectathon aspect of that game was super satisfying and the levels are endlessly imaginative.
I don't have Yoshi's Crafted World. I played the demo and it was good. I also watched reviews and everything seemed fine with the game. I just never got round to buying it. Maybe because I was still heavily into NSMBUDX when it came out.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll try and get the game now.
For those who were born in the 80's, do you remember how out of this world it felt when you shot Mario out of the cannon for the very first time in Super Mario 64? I won't forget that day. It was the fucking future right there mate! We grew up playing his games on the NES, then SNES and nothing prepared us for the transition to 3D. It was magic.
Being born in 1993 I was too young to understand or appreciate the difference, but in retrospect, it's incredible how they nailed the controls and the level design on their first try. It was so impactful especially because it was a great 3D game.For those who were born in the 80's, do you remember how out of this world it felt when you shot Mario out of the cannon for the very first time in Super Mario 64?

In the U.K. this was the first we ever saw of Super Mario 64. And it blew our minds completely. Remember that this is from a TV show. There was no widespread internet back then.
I'm playing through Super Mario 3D World now and having a pretty good time. I wrapped up World 4 last night. Easily my favorite one so far.
How many worlds total are there?
I dont remember the total but i want to say it was like 8 plus two more bonus worlds. On this subject, playing mario maker 2 reminded me how much i adore 3d world, its a strong contender for my favorite mario game. Here's hoping we can play it on switch soon! I almost thought about buying a used wii u just to play it again
8+2 sounds great! Thanks. And yeah, based on what I've played thus far I'd totally grab a Switch port.
I like this one.
The antagonist in the G&W version of Balloon Fight (the amphibian man) is called 'ORIAM REPUS' which is Super Mario spelt backwards.
So its canon this is some dark timeline where Mario becomes sea monster?
