Super Mario Odyssey follows the gameplay lineage established in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine with open spaces and an extremely flexible moveset to navigate these spaces non-linearly. Mario has to discover, earn, or reach moons (no relation) to power the Odyssey, his aircraft, to chase after Bowser and Peach. Mario has a buddy with him this time: Cappy, his googly-eyed hat which he can throw and use for even more crazy platforming. But that is not all, throwing Cappy at enemies or random objects in the world lets Mario take them over. Ever wanted to be Taxi Mario? Well...

Update 1.0.2
Balloon World
You'll be able to play once you finish the main story. To get started, just find Luigi in each kingdom and talk to him.

There are two ways to play Balloon World:
  • In Hide It, you take a balloon and hide it for other players to find
  • In Find It, you search for balloons other players have hidden
By the way, while you're playing Balloon World, the atmosphere will be a bit different for each kingdom! For example, it might be raining in New Donk City, or the sun might be setting in Tostarena.

Nice OT! Still debating with myself if I want to spend 400$ CAN for a switch for it. It looks so good though!

Really excited to have mine unlock tonight. 12 EST is what I read, so hopefully that's right. I hope the unlocking process on the preload isn't too painful.

Fantastic OT!

That letter from Peach is....incredible, to say the least.

This OT + the OT at "that other place" might be the most brilliant thing I've seen all year

I can't wait to ride a giant Yoshi.

Forgot to add this Cuphead tribute I animated for the OT originally.

This is glorious. Good stuff. Mere hours away from getting a copy. Can't believe Nintendo got this and Zelda out within 7 months.

This will be my first switch game since I bought a switch a while back.
Glad this will be my first title.

I loved Galaxy,
I'm hoping this game will top it :D

My game has been shipped & I'm ready to go. Hopefully Amazon gets my game in the mail in a timely manner.

HYPE!!! Awesome OT, TheMoon! Picking this game up tonight at 10 and the hype has consumed all of the organs in, and maybe even around, my body.

Edit: Oh man.... I totally just realized what you did with the OT, between here and you-know-where. This is easily the most creative one I've seen in a while. Props.

Slightly concerned about the handheld situation but I did all of the BotW gyro shrines in handheld so I'll probably manage lol.

I'm thinking of buying a Switch just because of this game. Great OT, also.

Got a message from Best Buy that my copy was ready for pickup. Called them to confirm and I guess I can't pick it up till tonight at 9. So the countdown begins.

Great OT, TheMoon.

Haven't been this excited for a long time. Great to experience this all once again with y'all.
