It's one of those games that could easily sell tons of Switches by itself, and proves that the magic is back with Nintendo's main hero once again.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
But these minor issues aside, Super Mario Odyssey is an instant classic. His clothing choices can open up a level in each kingdom, but that's about it it would've been more impressive if Mario's fashion choices had a bigger impact on the characters or the overall gameplay from level to level. With Cappy effectively taking the place of suits or power-ups, outfits are simply a new visual look for Mario based on a world's theme. The other issue is that clothing and outfits are virtually meaningless. This can get complicated when you need to make precise jumps, especially toward the end of the game. The only knock here is that the camera angle can sometimes be poor, even when you try to move it around. There are even extra collectible Power Moons and Multi-Moons (like the Stars in Galaxy and the Shines in Sunshine) in each stage that encourage exploration (and can unlock extra content). There are huge homages to Donkey Kong, from the inclusion of New Donk City (and Mayor Pauline, aka Mario's first love interest) to its girder-inspired stages. For example, there's seamless movement from the 3D open-world adventure to the classic 2D Super Mario Bros.-style gameplay when you go down a pipe. Odyssey has so many great touches that gaming fans will enjoy. Arguably, he's one of the better companions Mario's had in quite some time.īut it's not just the addition of Cappy. You'll probably spend a large amount of time tossing Cappy around each world just to see what he can do and how it changes your gameplay. That means you can swim and explore in the body of a Cheep Cheep fish, or toss fireballs and frying pans as a Hammer Bro. Even better, Cappy can "capture" some foes, using their abilities to your advantage. But Cappy can also be used to deflect projectiles and knock out enemies. He can slingshot Mario across the map and break open objects. He can collect coins and trigger environmental switches.
In fact, much of this is tied to the addition of Cappy as your new companion, because he's unbelievably versatile. Sure, it may feel familiar, especially if you've played Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Sunshine, but it's the way that Odyssey elevates the play with the Switch's responsive motion controls that stands out. Mario's latest adventure is a fun-filled journey from beginning to end, and its gameplay has more than enough action to intrigue old and new fans alike for hours.
