    By the end of the game, I was in tears, and I was applauding at the end credits. There's not much I can say about this game right now, because I am still in shock. Razor tight controls, fantastic level design, and the spirit of Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. I just can't say enough good things. It was worth the 9 month wait.

The difficulty of levels and puzzles stays at a steady pace throughout the majority of worlds and those dealing primarily with story content, however, when you start getting into the harder puzzles, it will definitely leave you wanting to throw your Joy Con at your tv. Nintendo has put a lot into Odyssey to challenge players. The boss fights seem to be lacking though when pertaining to the "Broodals". They are smart addition to the line up of enemies Mario has come up with over the years, but the fights are boring, predictable, and leave you with a feeling of "Oh no, THESE guys again? Give it a rest already!". I do hope there is DLC for Odyssey. Definitely a game worth being game of the year. I give it a perfect 10.… Expand

The depth of collecting is huge with over 800 moons to collect and the powerings of the hat are admirable and fantastic. Controls are fluent and all around this is a top tier game for this holiday season.

    One con is the game could have been farily more challenging. It's slightly too easy. But all around everything else is near perfect. A must have for switch lovers.    … Expand

    The only negative thing I can think of is that after "completing" the game, you can go back and collect more moons from each stage, and that's not quite as fun as going through the stages for the first time. Overall, though, it's just incredible.    … Expand

Before the Switch released Shigeru Miyamoto gave an interview in which he said Nintendo had "mastered the Unreal Engine" in regards to the development of Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, and you know what? He was right, because I've never played a Mario game that feels as good as this game does, nor have I ever played a *platformer* that feels as good to play as this game does. It's beyond all comparison, even to past Mario games.

    I'll refrain from posting spoilers but it's just impossible to describe how much joy this game will bring to anyone who's grown up alongside Mario. I've played over 30 hours thus far and have beaten the main storyline as well as discovered the additional post-game worlds, but even after all of that I still have a hundred (or more!) moons to collect. It's absolutely staggering how much care, love, and thought was put into this game.

    At this point I'm genuinely concerned Nintendo will never be able to top it, because never in my life have I enjoyed anything as much as I've enjoyed Super Mario Odyssey.    … Expand

The controls where perfect and I felt at no time that when I died it was the game's fault when I died I felt like I made a mistake. Speaking of controls I found the motion controls pretty fun as well but this is probaly because I used the sperated JoyCons and not the ProControler so if you want to use a ProControler then you probally wont enjoy them as much the ideal way to play is with the JoyCons. There is something that gives the games controls the extra step to being perfection is Cappy. In this game your new sidekick is the hat ghost thing Cappy. With a press of the Y button or a flick of the JoyCon you can toss out your Felt Friend and grab coins and kill small baddies. The reason he only kills small foes is because when thrown at a normal sized enemies is that when Cappy is thrown at them he will "Capture" them, but its more like possesion because you go inside there bodies and take control of there brains. This adds a fun new twist onto gameplay and makes some fun boss battles based around these Captures. Another thing you can do with Cappy is when he is thrown you can dive onto him which will give you a bounce then you can dive again to get some serious style points this can used to get to seemingly impossible areas. How about the worlds you use these controls in well they are fairly compact with tons of moons they really remind me of Banjo Kazzoie but with like way more jiggys they are fun to traverse and have memorable NPCs and locals. All around I would say Mario Odyssey is my favorite game of 2017 even more than Breath of the Wild… Expand

The first thing to    Nintendo are amongst the best in the business when it comes to producing quality games and that's especially true when those games involve wide open world's full of content that will satisfy everyone from kids to self proclaimed hardcore gamers.

    Super Mario Odyssey takes the best bits from previous Mario games and mashes them altogether in this latest instalment. The first thing to strike me was just how gorgeous the game looks. Nintendo continue to amaze me with what they can do with the power available in the Nintendo Switch.

    I'll not delve too deep into the story because it's a Mario game and by now I'm sure e all know roughly what the plot will entale. It's a fun story though that develops at a good pace. I'm going to concentrate on the gameplay because that's where this game really shines.

    Super Mario Odyssey takes place over a number of different kingdoms each having it's own unique feel and design. There's much more detail than you might first notice and there's plenty for you you to explore. The game world's have been expertly created as you might expect from Nintendo but they're just so clever in how they're done it's staggering.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a 3d game and the control scheme compliments it and works brilliantly, especially with the joycons. You can throw cappy (your new sidekick) by gesturing with the controllers and its on point with its responsiveness. Theres a wide variety of creatures for you to possess and doing so will help you to collect the in game currency and power moons that you require.

    Speaking of in game currency, each kingdom has its own unique currency that you can use to buy outfits. They're plentiful and rewarding. You feel a great sense of satisfaction when you change Mario's clothes to better suit his surroundings.

    One of the best parts of the game by far is the use of 2d, 8-bit style sections. You'll see the iconic green pipes going into a wall. Walk into the pipe and you're in a 2d section where you can enjoy a throw back to the 80' and 90's. It's a stroke of genius and is my personal favourite part of the game.

    Super Mario Odyssey has been picking up perfect score from all quarters of the media and I'm sure you're wondering if it's really that good. In short yes, yes it is. The game is as near perfect as you could hope for and is just so much fun to play. Since the game landed on my doorstep it's been a race to get to the Switch as my kids can't stop playing. This is surely a contender for game of the year alongside Nintendo's other big success, Breath of the Wild. It's been an amazing year for Nintendo and I can't wait to see what they come up with next.    … Expand

I never had a chance to play Sunshine or dabble with the N64 cult classic, so I went into this Mario without the glasses of nostalgia or any prescribed expectations. All I wanted is a neat, fun, interesting 3D platformer, that will require of me precision controls, mastering the many movement options, solving some in-space puzzles and be enjoyable in the basic game loop.

    And oh boy, Super Mario Odyssey delivers in spades. I was truly shocked about how well paced and tightly packed the game is, when still managing to offer something new pretty much behind every corner!

    First, the plot – It’s as rudimentary as you can expect from a Mario game. Big B kidnaps Princess P, this time to marry her in style. He has henchmen, who are silly. You, the plumber-jumper, must save the princess, but this time you have a magical buddy who wants to save his sister (in form of a Tiara). That’s it. Your goal? Chase the big Baddie through various maps, gather LOTS of same thing to fuel your travel. Simple, but that’s fantastic, and here’s why – It gives clear goals for every stage and shiny, singular objective for your whole journey. You don’t get muddled down in your fun, you don’t worry or bother about character arcs or some big turmoil. You jump between beautifully crafted maps to tackle the same problem in vastly differing way. You know there is certain amount of Things To Find, but gosh, each level varies with enemy types, environmental traps and game mechanics needed to cross it. And it works fantastically because…

    The map design is mind-blowing, to a point, that I believe it will be taught in game design courses. The game is not Open World. It’s just old stage-after-stage gameplay. But that’s amazing, because every stage differs VASTLY from another. In music, style, visuals, but also in core gameplay mechanics needed to traverse it, focusing on different skills and different approach. Some levels are superbly vertical, some display tremendous amounts of hidden passages and nooks to find out. Others are riddled with hazards to cross, while other are vastly open, and require a curious eye to look for irregularities to spot. Every level feels like a breath of fresh air, always delivering something new to pick a player curiosity to explore and experiment. Maps are also very tight. They are not small, most of the time, but they are also not vast and empty. In fact, every corner of the map is an offering of a new challenges, both minor and major.
    Another beautiful thing is the scope of game difficulty. It’s organic, in a way, that you can finish the game with minimal challenge. Each level requires you to find a certain amount of Power Moons. And to get them, you really must do a series of rather easy tasks, most of the time. BUT each stage consists of so many more Power Moons than you require, and its unique currency… And to gather them all, you will face challenges that are much, much harder, and will truly test your patience and great skill in mobility.

    So, the gameplay is stellar. It’s fun, it’s as challenging as you want it to be, it’s always fresh stage after stage. And it looks amazing – it’s colorful and cheerful, of course, but every level feels as its own creation, conveying the theme and mood beautifully, with spectacular music helping greatly to set an atmosphere.

    Lastly, it’s important to notice the astonishing controls. Nintendo really nail this stuff, and Mario moves with pinpoint, godlike precision. Every jump, run, roll and bounce is so precise, you can execute some stellar moves to cross long vaults, narrow lines or other hard mobility tests in game. And playing on two Joy-Cons really shows how smartly they used the motion of their pads. It’s fun and precise, and I love it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I even begin. After spending 3 days playing and paying my life into this game, and just starting my second playthrough, I am extremely pleased to say that Nintendo is on a roll this year with their newest podium console. Both this game, Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe reinforce that fact and despite the Switch's multiple flaws and technical issues since its launch back in March, I truly believe this year is one of if not Nintendo's best years of gaming since the iconic year of 1985. Though onto the game. After my full playthrough and grinding in getting as much moon's as possible, I can definitely consider this game (along with Breath of the Wild) a masterpiece. From the start to finish, this game truly represents an exciting, creative and outstanding (as the title suggests) odyssey. Our Italian plumber friend does not stop with his adventures in defeating Bowser and saving Princess Peach ("WAIT, Why is that so familiar, OH YEAH!"), though this time Bowser seems more serious and intentional on marrying Princess Peach than I have seen him in almost every Mario game including Sunshine. Mario continues to impress me with his cunning and practical skills when it comes to completing these courses. Despite this being considered an open world Mario game, it would not be a 'Super Mario' game without those courses to further progress through the game. However the way that they have been implemented in this style is very very (about 10 more times) creative. Every single kingdom despite most being fairly small feature multiple courses, puzzels and secrets that you come upon when exploring whether it is on purpose of intentionally. And somehow, the game was even able to implement the classical 2D style courses that Mario enters via a pipe inside a wall, cliff, mountain etc. And even better, they didn't just put all of these mini-courses in for the sake of it, most of the time you will need to get through them if you really want to progress through the game and collect enough moons to power up the odyssey and travel to the next kingdom. On paper it may sound a little repetitive, but in reality it is not. Thats what I mean when I refer this game as creative. Every single kingdom is different and unique in its own way with multiple different courses and secrets scattered around the small kingdom where some can consist of up to 50 MOONS! Exploring further into the kingdom is up to the player however. Collect all the moons that you need from completing the main (3D) courses and defeat one of Bowsers mini bosses and move to the next kingdom, or keep exploring it like I did. When I did this I was and still am extremely ecstatic and intrigued of the amount of secrets and hidden courses to find all those moons. I haven't discovered this much secrets in a video game world since Assassin's Creed. Even Breath of the Wild wasn't this wild with its secrets. And Mario is not alone Oh No. He has a new companion! Not his brother Luigi, or Toad or anyone like that but a cap. Though not just any old or just an advanced version of Mario's own red cap (which is destroyed at the beginning) but it is an actual character. A ghost who has the physique of a hat who has many powers which include harming enemies when thrown, shapeshifting into a different type of cap and the ability that not only makes him stand out but make the entire game stand out over all the Super Mario games is being able to possess creatures such as goombas, frogs, wigglers and DINOSAURS, or enemy machines such as Bullet bills to literally transform Mario into a rocket or a tank to blow up everything (In some way). Without cappy, this Super Mario game would not be the Odyssey that it really is, even at one point in the game where cappy is abducted and you're forced to recue him without using any of his powers. Because of both the team and relationship Mario and Cappy develop throughout the game, this was not an easy thing to do as you're forced to get through obstacles using Mario's own (old school) abilities to rescue Cappy. It also proves that Cappy is not only a great companion but a necessity for Mario. Together the two of you are travelling through all the kingdoms, collecting all the moons, finding and discovering new things/secrets and defeating Bowser and saving Princess Peach (OBVIOUSLY) along with saving Cappy's little sister who is being used as Princess Peach's tiara and is most likely her companion. In conclusion, Super Mario Odyssey is yet another Mario game that does not disappoint in any way and another amazing Nintendo game to promote the Switch console and put Nintendo back on top after the failed launch of the Wii U. With this games surplus amount of secrets and hidden courses/puzzles, its content for the games main progression and all the versatility at your disposal with Mario and Cappy makes this game (along with Breath of the Wild) the best game for the Switch and the best Super Mario game since Galaxy released 10 years ago!… Expand

The bosses were pretty easy in general, but I like the fact that you need to be smart to hit them a few times instead of easily hitting them 20 times. I completed the main story in about 8 hours (about 80% of purple coins and 261 moons). I was not looking everywhere, but I was looking. There is a power moon and/or a mini-game every 2-3 minutes if you look properly. I really like collectibles, but 999 power moons is just too much lol 250 would have been more than enough. I think I will replay it to try to gather 500 moons, but I am not sure yet. The music is good as usual, but nothing incredible. I personally played with the detached joy-con and I really enjoyed the experience!

    Controls:
    The gameplay is fun and intuitive... that said there are like 3 moves that you cannot use on the unless you use motion controls; cap throw down, cap throw up, and homing cap... yes you can use it with your controllers attached to the grips but it would've been nice to have every move mapped onto the controller. there is also the way Mario does a spin cap attack... you can do it without motion controls but it is not as instant.

    Now the positive, as I said above, the controls very intuitive and fun. once you get used to the main controls (which won't take long) your up and running and playing the game. like most, all Mario games the controls are super tight and fun... it will make you fall in love with Mario and Nintendo again.

    Graphics:
    The game runs at a fluid 60fps throughout the whole game as far as I know... there might have been frame dips but they were so negligible I didn't notice them. I did, however, notice the antialiasing but to run this game at 60fps and smoothly I think it is forgivable.

    FunFactor:
    The fun factor of the game is out of this world... the main game itself is super easy... but that is not where this game shines... the game shines in its exploration, Nintendo gives you massive worlds to play in... I mean huge worlds (except for the few little ones scattered in the game for story or tutorial reasons). it is like Nintendo built each person a bunch of playgrounds to just explore and have fun in... of for that I say thank you Nintendo.

    Yes, you can breeze through the game in a few hours and be done with it... but if you want more out of the game you need to delve deeper (use tricks and advanced moves)... you will need to work for some of these moons. but if you are inexperienced or a casual gamer, there are plenty of moons to find randomly in the world.

    so to end my review, if you have a switch, pick up the game, if you don't buy a switch and get the game... if you can't try to get someone to buy you a switch and this game lol it will be well worth it.    … Expand

Although, sure there are hundreds of moons, but there aren't many major challlenges to get the regular moons. And, as usual, Mario has all his old mobility options, with some new moves like hat bouncing and capture release jumps. That is a great segue into the main new ability, possessing things and using their abilities, which I find to be very fun! And there really isn't much more to it.

    It was very short and easy, the motion controls were a bit wonky. There was plenty of missed potential, rewards for completion are pretty weak and bosses were repeated plenty of time, however this game completely makes up for it with all the amazing mechanics, the amazing control and just the whole experience together.

Yes, I play many, many games not limited to just one console and I love Nintendo and Mario games. First, who are you? Yes, you! Don't just look at the scalled up    Boo!

    This is why I created an account; to give newcomers an UNBIASED review of this game.

    Yes, I play many, many games not limited to just one console and I love Nintendo and Mario games.

    First, who are you?
    Yes, you!
    Don't just look at the scalled up reviews of fanboys and fangirls, see the 10/10 score and thing, "I'm going to love this game! I have to buy it!"

    Stop, just stop. WHO are you?

    Do you seek any challenge?
    After playing open world games do you have an unrealistic expectation that this game will be immersive?
    Are you looking for story, for reason, for thinking outside the box?

    If you are a person which greatly appreciate the above, only rose tinted glasses will keep ou from being disaapointed in this game. Because, if you are that person, you should be dissapointed.

    Overall, Super Mario Odyssey is an underwhelmingly easy game devoid of any real push to continue playing and drive you forward. There is, of course, no story and the environments could not be less immersive; obstacles appear to be cut-n-pasted there, 'just cause'. The worlds are VERY small and disjointed.

    So is Mario Odyssey bad? Absolutely not!
    BUT, it depends on WHO you are.

    Are you seeking a game with a playful setting and gorgeous art-style? Are you looking for a game which you can pick up and play after a long days work? are you looking for a game accessible to anyone and enjoyable to anyone? Are you seeking a game to pander to your rediculous side and creativity (only in art-style)?

    If so, this is the game for you. You will love it.

    A few pointers overall:
    Mario is a beautiful, fun and creative game which everyone can enjoy. If you play any sort of game even semi regularly though, you'll fell like a god playing it. The puzzles are completely underwhelming and predictable, and the only time you'll die will be from a misplaced jump.

    This game is very surprisingly small. The worlds you go to are very inconsistent. Most are very small and do not excite you; they are a chore and bring down the quality of the game. Other worlds, however, are amazing and are definitely the right size. Unfortunately, these worlds are few and far between. Don't expect to play the game longer than 25 hours before you feel you should put it down and play something else. Multiplayer is quite a gimmick.

    Regardless of who you are, this game will never reach 10/10 if you are being unbaised.
    It's important to think critically and fairly.

    Should you buy it??? That's why you're here isn't it???

    It depends on who you are!

As we played there were several moments when we looked at the screen in awe and wonder, several kingdoms taking us aback. The wonder, surprise, and enjoyment really made this game for me.

    I love the controls. A lot of people dislike the controls but I find them very easy to work out and use. I played with the detached joy cons as that's what the game recommends and I like that style of play anyway. The motion controls and "HD" rumble were fabulous and to my surprise really added to the game.

    The post game is quite massive and is why I still think I have a lot to get out of this game still despite already beating it. With who knows how many moons I think I'll be going for a while.

    Overall it's a great must-have Switch game and my advise to anyone who hasn't yet played it: Go slowly. Take it all in. Explore each world. I know you want to get to that next kingdom, but it's more fun to go slowly.    … Expand

These collectibles were used for progressing in the game and collecting all of them would give you a special bonus. Mario Odyssey's collectibles are Moons, and there are (from what I've seen) 999 of them in the game. However, about half of them are very easy to get. Still, a lot of the Moons are really fun to get, sometimes requiring you to solve a puzzle, beat a boss, or do some sort of platforming challenge. Getting all 999 Moons may seem like a pain but the design and music make the game much more enjoyable while hunting for moons. The music in this game is phenomenal, but that goes without saying. The Nintendo Switch cant run SUPER strong games, but the game is still beautiful and pleasing to look at. The colors and graphics make the game very appealing to look at, sometimes making me forget I have 450 Moons left to collect...The story, while not groundbreaking, is certainly a step forward for Mario. Peach is back to being a damsel in distress, but thats not TOO bad. The game opens with Mario and Bowser already fighting, and Mario is blasted off the side of the ship, landing in the Cap Kingdom where he meets Cappy, who posesses Mario's hat and is now able to be used. Cappy is a joy to use. Capturing and controlling enemies is a really great mechanic. Cappy can also be used for platforming, as you are able to jump on him. Moving around in this game is so much fun. A lot of people say Mario Sunshine has some of the best movements in the series, and I agreed until I played this. Mario can roll, dive, ground-pound jump and spin jump now. It feels really nice to move around. Nintendo certainly has outdone themselves this time, and I'm happy to say, so far, Mario Odyssey is my game of the year.… Expand

Not only does Odyssey include a multitude of kingdoms that feel like self-contained mini "sandboxes" for you to enjoy but the main aspect of fun in Odyssey for me is the greater sense of movement in the game. "Cappy" not only allows for possession techniques that change up the Mario gameplay in drastic ways but it also allows you to perform tricks that makes Mario *feel* great.

    The presentation is also great. The game is colourful and is screaming at you in the most delightful way possible. I've heard some people are not fond of the jarring change in art style within the game, which I understand and is a valid criticism, but to me I feel as this only emphasises the sense of adventure. Whenever you enter a new kingdom it is fun to see how Mario will fit in to these environment that are not what we have come to expect from this universe. Oh, and as always, the soundtrack is amazing which is expected after the amazing soundtracks of the rest of this series.

    One of the most underrated things that Odyssey does is take elements of the more 2D level based 3D Mario games like Galaxy and 3D World and merges it with the more open ended level design of 64 and Sunshine. While each kingdom almost acts like a miniature hub world, the levels within the kingdoms contain the great and underrated level design found in 3D World creating a perfect blend the chronology of 3D Mario; not to mention the 2D sections which are beautifully presented in the game.

    It's 3D Mario to perfection. Amazing callbacks to Mario's past, gameplay with the right amount of challenge, pulling all the best things from SM64, Sunshine, 3DLand/World, and Galaxy/G2. Movement is fun, the visuals make me happy from start to finish.

    Pure joy. No better words to describe this game than pure joy. At first glance, I thought it would be another great Mario game and nothing more. It brings new fresh ideas and wonderful platforming. The vivid colors and constant exploration is perfect. If you have a Switch, you need this. if you don't have a Switch, buy one.

    Nintendo is amazing. The pure fun and joy that this game exudes is contagious. It is one of those rare games that reminds me of the nostalgic joy that video games can provide.

    Bright colorful and such a change from (seemingly) all the other popular games of the moment.

    This is just my opinion of course, but Odyssey just isn’t up there with the best Mario games. The controls are good, though some of the motion gimmicks are unreliable, and a couple of the Cappy possessions bland. The artwork is nice, but can often feel out of place or thematically confused. The music, when there is music, is excellent. The challenge is non-existent - there really is none.This is just my opinion of course, but Odyssey just isn’t up there with the best Mario games.

The music, when there is music, is excellent. The challenge is non-existent - there really is none. There no failure penalty at all, not even setbacks. The after game does introduce more challenging things... but not exactly exciting ones.

    The game starts strong, the middle becomes rather boring and at times a drudge, and the ending is, OK I guess? It just doesn’t have the ingenuity of the Galaxy games, or the hectic multiplayer fun of 3D World. It’s not a bad game - Mario games at their worst are better than most of what else is out there - but it is a bit of a let down.    … Expand

    the good

    - the power to possessed the enemies.
    - best customization suits and hats, I've ever seen.
    - pretty good new bosses to fight.
    - not using older bosses (the Koopalings) is a nice change for once.
    - and seeing the return of the roots from 64 and Sunshine

    The Bad

The main story is pretty short and simple, but I think most everyone is here for the post-game anyway. Collecting the moons is fun, but it can get repetitive at times. The game is mostly easy and the boss fights follow a clear pattern, but there Re some difficulty spikes here and there. I’d still recommend to casual gamers though.

    It definitely feels like a successor to Super Mario 64, but I found Super Mario 64 to be better. Super Mario Odysseus major problem for me is that the worlds are so small and claustrophobic. I feel like I could get the hype behind this game if the worlds were huge and immersive, but usually around the time you’re getting into a world is around the time you’ve seen all there is to see. There are hidden rooms and hidden moons here and there, but for the most part the worlds are very small. I’d even say Super Mario 64 has bigger worlds than this game. And despite this game playing wonderfully and has neat details even down to the HD ruble, I cannot give it higher than an 8. I got all moons, coins, souvenirs, music, etc in about 55 hours. Main story itself only takes about 10. For scale, I’ve done over 200 hours on Breath of the Wild. 55 hours for 100% completion in my opinion is quite a short game. Between Breath of the Wild and this, is much higher recommend Breath of the Wild, but if you have that and want something else to hold you over, I’d recommend this, but $60 is a bit steep for smallish worlds.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Odyssey es una maravilla de video juego que reinventa el genero de plataformas y el sandbox, me recuerda al Super Mario 64 por la mecánica de encontrar lunas que son el simil a las estrellas y por los movimientos de Mario que son idénticos. La diferencia está en que Super Mario Odyssey tiene un gameplay único, totalmente renovado e innovador, gracias a Cappy el nuevo personaje del universo de Mario. Cappy es originalmente de Cap Kingdom y se une a Mario para rescatar a su hermana, Tiara, ya que Bowser había secuestrado a la princesa Peach y a Tiara para cumplir su deseo de casarse con la princesa. Cappy es un "sombrero" que puede cambiar su aspecto a diversos sombreros. Cuando Mario arroja a Capy contra ciertos enemigos u objetos Cappy los posee lo que permite que Mario los controle y pueda sacar provecho de sus habilidades para pasar las "etapas", esta capacidad se conoce como capturas. Mario también puede usar a Cappy para lanzarlo para eliminar enemigos, obtener monedas, o realizar saltos que parecen imposibles.

    Los mundos son una maravilla gráficamente, son totalmente re jugables ya que no son lineales. Si bien la historia se puede terminar en 15 horas aprox., una vez terminado el juego se abre un mundo de posibilidades, se desbloquean nuevos mundos a explorar, nuevo trajes y sombreros. Además de nuevos desafíos de minijuegos. Mario podrá volver a los mundos jugados y volver a explorarlos, encontrar las lunas que faltaron y las nuevas lunas que aparecen una vez terminada la historia principal de este, lo que hace que el titulo entregue fácilmente más 200 horas de juego ya que no es sencillo encontrar todas las lunas.

    Es destacable la cantidad de trajes y sombreros que hay en el juego, y que hay trajes que te permite acceder a ciertos lugares. Mario puede vestir de doctor, de explorador, de cavernícola, etc.

    La música es otro de los puntos altos, música de altísimo nivel, donde se encuentran títulos como "Jump Up, Super Star!".

    Los minijuegos también son un punto a destacar ya que son entretenidos y puedes comparar tu record con la tabla de record online de jugadores de todo el mundo, puedes intentar llegar al ranking top ten.

    Lo que hicieron los desarrolladores de Nintendo técnicamente es increíble, se nota que lo desarrollaron con amor, lo podemos ver en las etapas que mezclan el clásico plataformas 2D dentro del mundo 3D, la amistad que se genera entre Mario y el perrito o cuando mario reúne a todos los músicos y en el festival suena la música "Jump Up, Super Star!" mezclando 2D con 3D, son detalles emocionantes que se agradecen. El final de mario es increíble, el poder capturar a Bowser para salvar a la princesa del derrumbe fue épico.

    Por todo lo dicho anteriormente y considerando que no hay palabras que puedan hacer justicia a este video juego, creo que marcará un precedente en el genero de plataformas. Merece más de un 10. Creo que este juego es quizás el mejor video juego de la saga de Mario en la historia, y junto a The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild uno de los mejores video juegos del año, ambos se merecen el premio a GOTY 2017.    … Expand

    While it was difficult to imagine how Nintendo could top previous 3D Mario adventures, Super Mario Odyssey is nigh-on perfect in almost every way. With the help of Cappy, Mario has never been as fun to control, reaching new heights and, in the hands of a skilled player, accomplishing impossible skips. You need only pick up a controller to see why this is the best modern Mario game ever.

    The best entry to the best platforming series is so ridiculously huge it’s like a theme park made of theme parks. It’s a wonderful tribute to Super Mario 64, but it’s not a lazy homage. Super Mario Odyssey draws inspiration from the superb classic to top it and everything that came after it. [13/2017, p.38]
