    -Possesions are a very entertaining mechanic
    -The costumes are fun to collect even if useless
    -Mario is easy but fun to control and jump around
    -the worlds are immense but not confusing, all very beautiful looking

    Mario finally returns to his 3d open world sandbox wonderland. This game brings back childhood memories and is very nostalgic. The game's visually stunning looking like a next gen Mario game with incredible lighting, effects, the game runs at a buttery smooth 60fps which is a godsend for the game. Just buy the game I don't need to say anymore the game is a classic Nintendo masterpiece.

Hasta la fecha "Super Mario Odyssey" es el juego de plataformas 3D del que todos deben tomar nota por su calidad en controles y cámara, sin mencionar lo imaginativo y variado.
    La historia es la de siempre, Bowser secuestra a Peach y es el deber de Mario en salir a su escate, pero esta vez tendrá la ayuda de Cappy, un pequeño fantasma que se transforma en sombreros y ayuda a Mario haciendo que puedan controlar a sus enemigos.
    Lo mejor por supuesto es los controles, nunca vas a sentirte perdido al momento de controlar a Mario, cada botón es responsable y la posibilidad de hacer combinaciones para realizar saltos más largos o altos depende de la habilidad del usuario.
    En general éste es un juego que esta en el límite de la perfección, pero por la innovación se vuelve meritorio de un 10. "Super Mario Odyssey" es algo corto y algunas Energilunas no son muy fáciles de hallar.
    Sin lugar a dudas estamos con un juego que debería estar en toda colección de Nintendo Switch, es divertido sin importar la edad que tengas y el reto depende cuánto quieras completar el juego.    … Expand

    An amazing Mario title with stunning graphics, amazing music, cool locations, and a real sense of adventure. Mario's moveset feels more refined then ever and Cappy is a really cool mechanic. My only major complaint is that there isn't much replay value after beating the Darker Side. Overall, the best Mario game since 64.

It promotes replaying each world and collecting all of the challenging moons during the second playthrough, forcing you to master some of the more complex controls that you may not have had to use often the first time around.… Expand

Here is why. Mario feels perfect to control. There are so many options to move around massive, beautiful, and breathtaking locations like a colorful volcano made up food, a rusty greenhouse and deep scary forest controlled by friendly robots, the black and white cap kingdom, and even bower's castle is unique, having a Japanese/samurai theme. Mario moves perfectly, the controls are the best in any Mario game, and there is so much to see and do. Many mini games, like racing, playing volleyball, doing jump robe, racing tiny micro-machines, and so much more not counting the main collectible, moons. Like with Super Mario 64, you can collect the moons in (mostly) any order you choose. However this time Moons are much more common and you can collect them in many different unique ways like planting and watering seeds, completing an obstacle course, finding hidden treasure, getting a high enough score in a mini game, ground pounding in certain spots, solving a puzzle, using hint art, or even just finding them lying around randomly. However, this game's biggest feature is the capture mechanic. Instead of traditional power-ups, Mario can you his new companion Cappy to possess almost every enemy in the game to solve puzzles, defeat bosses, collect hidden moons, or even just for faster travel. Story missions are fun and varied, and you can even skip most of them if you so choose. This a speed runner's heaven, as there are so many tricks, secrets, and shortcuts to find and discover to shave seconds and make your run extra efficient. This is especially true with the amazing controls. If you are looking at getting into speed-running, this is the place to start. Super Mario Odyssey is a masterpiece beyond words, and if you have a Nintendo Switch it is a sin to not have this game in your library, physical or digital. Even if you somehow don't have a switch yet, this game alone should sell you on it. It sure did for me.… Expand

    Super Mario Odyssey is literally my favorite game of all time. It is really the successor to Super Mario 64 in almost every aspect. Like really, it does a lot of things so well. I've just finished the game (100%) for the second time and it's just that good.

    The story of this game is simple and straight to the point. It is very easy to follow and it's not just like your generic Mario game. Sure, Princess Peach got captured again, but this time it's different. I won't get to details because spoilers, and I want this review to be as helpful as possible. It may not be as good as Galaxy 1, but I do appreciate the amount of effort put into the story itself.

    Throughout the game you will go through a lot of kingdoms that have never been explored in any Mario game until now. Every kingdom gets the sense of freedom, platforming, fun... just right. Cappy is the new ally which will help you throughout the game. And he is just perfect. If F.L.U.D.D. from Mario Sunshine was good, Cappy is just perfect. The amount of stuff you get to do with him is incredible. Some people say he's broken, and I don't agree with them because 1 important reason. If the game wasn't designed around all these things he can do, sure, he would be broken, but... The game IS designed around Cappy himself. There a lot of places that Cappy can go over, and the game lterally congratulates you for doing those amazing jumps. And the capture mechanic is just... perfect. It is literally the evolution of power-ups in older Mario games, and I love it. The main collectables here are power moons. there are over 800 of these. Some are easy to get, and some are well hidden. Also there are these exclusive purple coins per kingdom that with them you can buy outfits, and also the fact coins DO matter in this game. I swear, this game i sooooo different from any Mario game, that is probably why I consider it my favorite game of all time. The graphics are pretty nice to look at and the music... phenomenal.

    Even though it's my fav game, it does have some flaws. The motion controls (that are incredibly well done btw) are very stiff to use in handheld mode, and also that you don't get a lot for 100% this game. So U reccomend you to 100% this game if you're a hardcore Mario fan or just simply a Completionist.

    There are a lot of stuff I haven't talked about but you get the point. Super Mario Odyssey is a must play. It is soooo different it's just soooo good. Hope you all try it because, believe me, it's worth 60 bucks.    … Expand

It has a ton of unique and very fantastic worlds that allow the most creative way of traversing the levels thanks to Cappy and helping you transform into the enemy's.

This game deserves all the praise it gets and I think is genuinely the best 3D Mario game. This game does an excellent job at making you feel like a child again, playing one of your first games. I think most of the arguments made against this game are very weak. The 2 main ones I hear are, "it's to easy" and "it gets repetitive". For starters, its a game aimed at kids, what did you really expect? I wouldn't even say the game is a complete cakewalk, as some parts towards the end get genuinely hard and some moon puzzles can be tricky. Admittedly, a bit more challenge would be appreciated, but I expect easy gameplay from a Mario game. The other argument is it gets repetitive. If you simply complete the main story, that point does not apply at all. I feel it only gets repetitive for completionists. Which I did 100% the game because its that much fun. But hey, if you had to come up with 880 objectives, I think you may want to repeat a few. Again this game isn't a 100% masterpiece, it has some very very small issues. But I think its as close to a true masterpiece a Mario game has gotten. If you own a Switch, you have to own this game.… Expand

The references to other games, the awesome worlds, the controls... everything. I wish Nintendo go on with this kind of Super Mario games in the future.

    Super Mario Odyssey is an amazing overall super fun experience. The game is so fun to play. While it doesn't always put up that much of a challenge it so fun, and when it does it is never unfair and tests your skills. There are plenty of moves and jumps to do to maneuver the beautiful open environments. The mechanic of throwing your hat at one of the creatures and becoming them is amazing.Super Mario Odyssey is an amazing overall super fun experience. The game is so fun to play.

    Super Mario Odyssey is the spiritual successor to games like Super Mario 64 and Sunshine and its pays homage to them in many ways while also managing to improve on them in many ways. Pretty much every kingdom here is a blast to play through.. the graphics are great and there is a massive post game with over 800 moons to collect once you've finished.

    Still the best Switch game to this date in my opinion. Where Zelda BotW has some slight issues here and there, Mario Odyssey just contains everything that you want from a perfect game of the series. The story is pretty subtle as always but it´s solid for a Mario game.
    The cut scenes and the general graphic presentation is really well made and almost never has any frame drops.

    The cut scenes and the general graphic presentation is really well made and almost never has any frame drops.
    There are some worlds that stand out, but in general every single one is incredibly charming and detailed. Nintendo just let their creativity flow and came up with tons of fun ideas and secrets, that keep you busy for a long time, if you want to.
    Some might say the game is too easy and yeah, you don´t have to be a pro to beat it. Even my sister did without that many struggles.
    BUT that´s just the genius thing about the game design I think, because everyone can get through it in his own tempo and just enjoy himself.
    There are definetly some quite challenging moments in the game, if you search for them. And if you found one, the perfect controls will never give you the feeling, that its the games fault that you´ve messed up.
    I would call myself more a Zelda than a Mario Fan, but I really think, Mario Odyssey is even a better game than BotW. It has the potential, to ether create great childhood memories or to make you fall in love with the Mario Series again.    … Expand

    Not much of a story, but it is as you expect from a Mario game, not plot but lots of character to every little thing.
    The music in this game is a bop. Highly climatic tracks that are fun to listen to even outside of the game, but also fit their moments tremendously.    A wonderful game through, with each area feeling different and memorable on both aesthetic and gameplay aspects.

    Gameplay-wise, it's the best Mario has moved thus far. Cappy (the ghost in Mario's cap) makes for a great addition to moth movement and combat, as well as introducing the possession ability that is the main draw of this particular game over other Mario titles. Each enemy/obstacle that can be possessed and controlled offers unique abilities, or funny secrets, that add a lot to the game's enjoyment.

    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]
